Are they in the room with us right now?

What part of TERF ideology is actually feminist and not a thinly veiled mask for conservative-based gender essentialist ideology that feminism at its core has been fighting against since it’s inception, just this time aimed at trans women to protect “real women”?

I’m genuinely curious because all the advocacy I’ve seen from TERFS is all about demonizing transgender women, infantilizing transgender men and… Siding suspiciously often with conservatives more than their supposed ideological ancestors.

I kind of understand because I worry about it purely in my own case. I have severe ADHD and, overall, I really wish I could just function without it being a struggle every single day. But in my case and many others with my type of ADHD, its comorbidity with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria makes me extremely empathetic. A lot of my friends over the years have told me that, when they need someone to truly understand them and see them and give perspective that resonates, they come to me first.

If someday, a doctor would be able to snip off some chromosomes and suddenly I’m cured, it would be positively life-changing. But I would hesitate. The emotional resonance that comes easily to me is something I hold dear to my heart. Would I Iose that part of myself? Would I care? I don’t know. I love that part of me, and while I wouldn’t necessarily be a worse person, losing that part of me means a lot of people that love me lose something they love about me too.

It’s associated with fascism because a lot of fascist individuals and regimes have and still do fetishize this as a way of eliminating undesirables.

We can do both? What’s a rocket scientist going to do about systemic oppression and the rise of fascism that excludes them from working on rockets still?

Thanks for adding onto this!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks so much!

Hey can y’all help me out? I wanna start switching over, but I need a beginner friendly distro that can work well with my 2070 super for gaming. I need something simple to set up or I’ll get ADHD paralysis and never do it.

I’d also love if it worked well with my Valve Index, but if that still has a lot of issues across the board I may still have to dual boot :c

Just existing is getting a lot of us killed. It ain’t even just the poor anymore, we’ve got real assassinations happening.

Yes please, maybe they’ll fix the shit they’ve been getting paid for decades to fix finally.

My golden cloud bimbo baby Skye!

Wholesome plot twist: the thralls to be know. They don’t really care about the conversion, they just think you’re cool and see you struggling to manage your lair. The conversion is just so they can help you out after death.

It’s not that they never get around to it. It’s that the thought of taking on the responsibility of thralls is so paralyzing that they cannot muster the willpower to get it done.

“Hey boss, you ready to bestow eternal life unto us and forever bind us to servitude?”

“Shit, I forgot dude. I’m sorry. Still have some prep to do but I’ll keep you updated.”

That’s a lie. ADHD folks forget a lot of things, but not the horror that is being locked in your useless body watching the clock tick down while you scream internally to just DO THE THING INSTEAD OF TORMENTING YOURSELF FOR HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS, or god forbid CENTURIES when the fix is a simple bite and being fucking honest with your thralls, hoping they understand.

Another hour passes. Executive dysfunction doesn’t care. Not like you can metabolize your medicine for it anymore.

Slavery had to be ended with violence.

For the item box, open the sub-menu. First option is auto-sort.

The difference is one is manipulating a continuous flow of money out of your wallet and you pay once for Balatro to get the same rush without getting psychofinancially milked for the CHANCE at a hit of dopamine before you pay again for the privilege.
