Oh that's an interesting approach. It's a _very_ paired down version that uses its own conceits but borrows from AP's base design. Then they've answered a variety of questions canonically for themselves that AP punted on.

Not mutually intelligible with AP (AP would have no idea what to do with https://versia.pub/entities/follow-accept for example), but not difficult to bridge either (which seems to be their approach).

Yes random text message, I am sure that your claim to be representing the Colorado Government and directing me to a DNS entry that:

1. Was registered yesterday.
2. In Peru.
3. Connecting to an IP address in Russia.

Is completely legit and 100% definitely from the Colorado government.

Me: "Sure, I'll take your cider."

Barkeep: "Turns out we just rotated to a different one, would you still like it? <provides sample>"

Me: "Oh! This is good! Yes please"

<time passes>

Me: "Huh, what brand did you say?"

Barkeep: "hmmm, I think it is wild cider, but let me check"

Barkeep, coming back: "so, uh, it is wild cider, and it is supposed to be served in 4 oz glasses. I'm not going to charge you anything different, but you should probably know it is 8%"

That is, in fact, good to know

Why is Harris the only one who gets referred to as a cop?

I never heard the term applied to Lieberman, for all of his problems. Nor to Beshear, nor Shapiro. Never heard it applied to Tom Udall, when he was around, either. Gov Abbott gets rightly criticized for a lot of things, but I don't think I've ever heard someone call him a cop?

Why does Harris get that description when others who have served as attorney general don't?

Like sure, agent of the state, but why _just_ her?

"But they…"

Okay, and you don't understand how transphobia is not just about you? That it contributes to dehumanization of others outside of the scope of your disagreement?

That dehumanizing contributes to a _culture_ of dehumanization that is currently a very, very real threat to many of us? That there are overarching _systemic_ and _societal_ issues at play outside of your own feelings?

Go challenge them to a duel or whatever. Don't misgender them.

You are saying that our basic humanity is contingent on whether _you_ _like_ _us_.

Which is absolute BS.

I despise Caitlyn Jenner and Blair White. I don't deliberately misgender either of them or treat misgendering of them as a "well I hate them so it is okay." Doing so would be _transphobia_.

So if you see this in your orbit you need to be calling this out, or calling the person who is doing it in, or you are complicit.

Period. Full stop.

2024-08-14T17:46:33+02:00

If you deliberately misgender someone and think it is okay because you don't like them, or because they hurt you, or any other reason:

That. Is. Transphobia.

I don't know why this is hard for people.

That. Is. Transphobia.

If you see this and you are in the person's trusted orbit and you _don't_ call it out or call them in (even privately) that is also transphobia.

Having trans friends or trans people who agree with you does not obviate this in any way, shape, or form.

It is dehumanizing.

One toxic manager—including tech leads, project managers, etc—causes significant harm to the people around them and below them.

They destroy people's lives, derail careers, and can kill companies before anyone who doesn't report to them knows what is happening.

One is all it takes.

But companies pretty much always and very consistently side with the person who has power. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, giving them grace, and providing second chances.

While they destroy.

Harm reduction is about reducing harm.

One of these yahoos claimed that "instead of voting" we should "form unions."

Which. Uh.

I'm a big proponent of everyone unionizing, but:

1. Do you realize how many ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE HARDER unionizing will be under a Trump administration?

2. Do you realize what the difference of _scale_ is between unionizing your workplace and showing up to vote?

Yes, do unionize. Absolutely.

But also vote.

2024-07-31T12:30:15+02:00

Positions I have actually seen people take in the last week on here:

1. Harm reduction doesn't count because not everyone is saved.

2. Harm reduction is privileged because how sad that you suffer a fraction of the harm you "gleefully inflict on others."

3. Harm reduction doesn't count because there's more work to do.

Next time someone comes in with "no one is saying" I have a stack of these to throw at them.

I just.

am so.

It's going beyond blocklists.

There are so many things we can do that aren't blocklists, and certainly aren't consensus blocklists.

Quarantine is such an obvious and simple step and a time honored tradition for tackling these sorts of problems.

As is a keyword embargo: require moderator review before posts with certain keywords make it through from people who aren't being followed, or equivalents thereof.

* #Kink belongs at #pride

* Cops do not.

* #Ace and #Aro belong under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. They have not universally historically been included under the "A," but they have _always_ been there (sometimes under the A, sometimes under the B, but they've been there).

* #Queer is a reclaimed slur. As is "gay" and many of our other terms.

* Yes I am "not #gay as in happy but queer as in fuck you." (/magneto was right/insert the culturally appropriate variant here).
