Topping men and leaving them emasculated

And by that I mean:
Raising my umbrella above theirs as they walk past

I think we all know that the people who use the word
“ally”
like a cudgel,
are not the ones who should be applying it to themselves

Trusting the “strong ally”
over the people he is an “ally” of is a weird move

but okay

They aren’t giving the job to us. We aren’t at the table. I’m glad you made it tho, congrats to you

That’s the piece that is ignored every single time this comes up:

“Well would you quit your job at the fasc-washing machine?”

I don’t know, does their heathcare plan cover FFS?

We are suppose to take the punishment with a smile and a “thank you”

Who could predict any of this?

I knew I wasn’t getting an answer when I posted it

but the insistence on answering his question to ignore mine does make me laugh

It’s almost as if it was disingenuous

Now, if you don’t mind, answer mine

Is this not an answer?

That’s not what I said

I haven’t seen transphobia, racism, and misogyny take hold here in the way it did on Twitter. It’s always attempting to, but there is enough pushback from the overall community

Those who influence the overall culture shouldn’t have the reach they do. It’s why I felt they made a mistake with Singal

I did answer it

Now answer mine

Most people saying those things on Bluesky lack institutional power. The ones who do I push back on online and off

Bluesky doesn’t have an editorial staff that co-signs opinions and posts. The second they do, I’m gone. That’s one reason others left Musk’s twitter

How do you propose we root out the fascism in media that led to where we are now? Obviously the status quo got us here, so what do you think we should do to ensure this never again occurs?

Unironically, yes

If they cannot exist without existing in their current transphobic form, we have no use for the Atlantic, the NYT, Washington Post etc.

They are currently functioning as propaganda wings for the rise of fascism and will continue to do so if unchecked

Oh, you are stupid and rude

Cool, enjoy the bees

Here’s a thought, when you stumble into a beehive, do you blame the bees and keep attacking? Swatting at them and standing still?

Or do you move away?

Is it a dog pile or did you reply to someone and now you don’t like the amount of followers they have?

At the end of the day, Bitdizzy doesn’t have any institutional power. If so, maybe I’d be a bit quicker to criticize their takes

I see a person who lacks any real power lashing out, so forgive me if my gut instinct isn’t to criticize them for it

I have a different opinion to you and Bitdizzy. I can post a nuanced take between yours, I don’t have to engage in the all or nothing thought process or stay out

There is room online for it

I think he launders the hate in a similar but lesser way by being a progressive writer who doesn’t view anything they do to be a deal breaker

He can keep his job or quit, it’s not up to me
I just wont read any writer who doesn’t view marginalized rights as a deal breaker
I’m allowed to have nuance

The NYT, The Atlantic, and others have boosted the air of hate against trans people
It’s why we went from the 2017 All Star game being moved over a bathroom bill to those same bills going through will little pushback. They launder hate

Personally I don’t care what Bouie does, I don’t read any NYTs

You have no context for how the NYT is weaponized, do you?

Who could have known it would go like this?

6…long…hours

He finally blocked me after i followed him, he apologized but asked me too and you see my response above

The whole time was back and forth with almost no down time too

Nope

I got to see Dethklok, Mastadon, and High on Fire do a show in 09

Pretty sick, Broto-metal

Naw, it’s not that deep

I never thought I was above anything (again, Brachacho, hierarchies) I just don’t indulge in petty BS unless someone is really asking for it

But we’re besties now

Dude, I already told you that you made me one

I’m not like this with others

You wore me down, congrats

Pop the champagne and let her leave

Cool story, Broaster Strudel

Finasteride and minoxidil

You got like maybe 2 more years on that hairline and she already deserves better

Don’t make her look at the bald spot from behind

Not at all! I just see how many photos you are alone in

You got 1 person to take the photo and that’s it, that’s kinda sad
