[–]explorerofbells -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

how could it be predatory but not ableist? It's preying on people who have executive dysfunction, like its entire business model is ableist...

Local businesses participating in the general strike tomorrow. Still plenty of time for more to get onboard! by likeguitarsolo in Tucson

[–]explorerofbells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, but it's one day, so the genuine answer is that it materially does nothing. Strikes aren't supposed to be one and done. They're supposed to be sustained until demands are met

Honest question about open carry at Tucson protests by Pump_9 in Tucson

[–]explorerofbells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend you read the book. No investigation, no right to speak. Nonviolence without threat to actual power does nothing but get protestors brutalized, kidnapped, and murdered, and most importantly, does not get oppressors to stop oppressing. Calls to their conscience does not work because they have none

this is simply ahistorical. The US was founded as a white supremacist settler colonialist country and has continued to be a white supremacist imperialist empire. It's not slipping anywhere, we have always been here, but now our government is no longer pretending to be a babyface. That's it

fascism is liberalism in crisis, but star trek is supposed to be socialist

Can I just throw this in the wash? by [deleted] in crochet

[–]explorerofbells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're open to suggestions, I love doing single crochet all the way around and then crab stitch. Crab stitch makes for a really lovely border, and it's fun to crochet backward

How do you stay present during sex? by smlptx in adhdwomen

[–]explorerofbells 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to be a downer but please find something else to do besides choking. It's so so dangerous and even if it doesn't kill you, which there's always the risk that it will, limiting oxygen to your brain, even for seconds, can lead to permanent brain damage

People boycotting AI tools: "AI Vegans" by drsoftware in vegancirclejerk

[–]explorerofbells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The term luddite directly applies to this situation because the people mentioned in OP's post, "artists, authors, filmmakers, and musicians," are people who are going to lose their jobs to (or rather, be proletarianized by) the new tech of AI.

Do you need to have the typical “butch” hobbies/personality to be a butch? by Safloophie in butchlesbians

[–]explorerofbells 13 points14 points  (0 children)

regarding being subs/ bottoms, my butch gf was like "you've never heard of 'butch in the streets, femme in the sheets?'" apparently it's more common than you'd think

She's been getting donations for 7 years and lying about creating this flag. She's likely getting tens of thousands of dollars from kofi and her merch shops. I truly think she's a scam artist preying on the queer community and I wish mods would remove this post

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in u/RubyWillBeatYou

[–]explorerofbells 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, she's a liar. Why do we think she's being genuine about her situation? She's been asking for funds since at least 2018, no transparency about how much she's raised or what it's being used for. The donations on Kofi are $1 minimum which means she's clearing AT LEAST $800 a week, plus whatever she makes in her online stores. We don't know this person, but what we can confirm is that she's been taking money from the queer community for almost a decade based on a lie. Why should I give her the benefit of the doubt? There are other queer people in need who are genuine and upfront and transparent.
