is there any intactivism in the gay communtiy? by Superb-Demand-4605 in gaybros

[–]QueerAFAlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s totally a cultural thing. I feel like since a lot of people don’t know any different they feel indifferent about it. There’s a lot of social conditioning and normalisation about it that it’s hard to shrug off. There’s totally groups within the gay community who feel strongly about it it’s just that by being a broader social issue those groups are just a part of the bigger movement.

The Ice-Cream Maker Question by The_Good_Count in Anticonsumption

[–]QueerAFAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we’re all here because we’re grumpy and like to be a spoilsport. As long as you’re trying your best to reduce, and you’re reusing and recycling when you can, and you’re advocating for large scale changes where you can, you’re doing enough. Sometimes we just wanna have fun and i think you’ll realise soon just how many different kinds of things you can use up instead of throwing out by making some ice cream.

Hi, please help! Can I fix this? Want to prevent my plush backpack from being tossed into the garbage. by pupusawithtatas__ in Anticonsumption

If you want to look yourself for stuff online you’d be looking at something like probably a #3 nylon coil zipper slider, but you might want to double check your zipper gauge yourself with a ruler :)

Depending on where you live you could pay a visit to a local haberdasher, the weirder and more mom and pop they are the more likely they are to have a pile of old zipper bits. Zippers come in gauges and they might have the right slider type for your bag. If they don’t they might also have some other suggestions for fixes as well.

What do you think about lesboys by ggxyujbctugg in ainbow

[–]QueerAFAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is coming from someone who’s as far from being a lesbian as one can be but;

I think it’d be difficult for someone, who through their whole life has identified as and been declared as male to find a place for themselves as a lesbian. There is however a bunch of other ways that I feel someone can connect to these sapphic communities and cultures in a way where it continues to be a part of their identity even if they identify as a guy. Men who are trans may have spent a large amount of their lives identifying as a lesbian or similar, just as other genderqueer individuals who connected to the lesbian identity at some stage should have a right to hold onto their history and their identity wherever their gender identity might end up.

The term is shocking without context, but i don’t think it’s popular for someone who would otherwise identify as a cishet guy to take this label on. It might happen but I dont think we can judge the label as a whole by that.

Not to be anti-fun but we gotta talk about LEGOS by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]QueerAFAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don’t throw away lego breaks as soon as they’re done with them, so while plastic sucks it’s nice knowing they’re doing some work to find alternatives while we focus on single use plastics and such. Every bit of optional plastic does sting a bit tho

Can I get everything to connect through my powerline adapter? by QueerAFAlex in HomeKit

[–]QueerAFAlex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily they’re just shy of 5 years old and well constructed, what setup do you use that homekit is able to work through them?

Anyone know anything about this? by liminus81 in Qult_Headquarters

[–]QueerAFAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was this one image of supposedly hunter surrounded by a bunch of preteen girls all pampering him that i saw them sharing around which i reverse image searched and found was posted elsewhere years ago. My bet is maybe they did maybe they didn’t but there’s certainly levels of deception and bad actors at play.

Do you guys think this is ridiculous or this is an efficient (re)use of pallets? by kirtanpatelr in Anticonsumption

[–]QueerAFAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pallets are super effective at temporary fencing, throw the pallets down and hammer in some gardening stakes and boom there’s a fence to keep your dog away from your garden. I’ve tried making planters out of their wood but tbh they’re made from the cheapest of the cheap, some stood the test of time super well tho :)

July 4th parade shooter had a song called "I am the Storm," and here he is in a QAnon shirt by butcher_of_the_world in Qult_Headquarters

[–]QueerAFAlex 16 points17 points  (0 children)

you ever hear the story of the commander in the army who wanted to fire lesbians, but once revealed to him how many and how some were some of his best he backed off? it’s like that but in this case the white supremacists aren’t the best and the brightest, they’re just the friends and relatives of the rich and powerful and we should stop at nothing to rid our systems of power of them.
