I don't mean it as a gotcha. Clearly too many people don't care about the rights and dignity of other people unless it affects them. I wish they did, but the current political climate makes it clear that they don't.

So I think this is worth bringing up to people about any social justice issue. Racism and nativism are used to control white workers. Patriarchy hurts men. Transphobia hurts cisgender people.

However, it is crucial to communicate to people that these ideologies are fundamentally bad and need to be abolished or else people can walk away thinking "We need to implement transphobia the 'right' way so it stops hurting cis people."

It bares repeating, transphobia hurts cisgender people and transgender people.

Finally, this is what is keeping Texas in the bottom half of educational rankings, the kids meowing. Just take care of that and things will turn right around.

As best as I can remember, I'm on my 6th.

I am still using a flip phone. My new goal is to make it to 2027 marking two decades of rejecting the smartphone era. Each time I consider compromising something gets even more awful about smartphones and I double down on saying no.

They make profit off of being a useless barrier that prevents customers from accessing money they've contributed to use towards their own healthcare. They do nothing of any real value. Their constant profit seeking kills people. Every single administrator in their company is killing people.

Luckily, they won't come after me because everything I said was true.

It really pisses me off when the cars are backed up but the person in the drive through still has to spend time doing land acknowledgements for each customer and asking them their preferred pronouns. /s

Don't make me post the poem again...

 

I was trying to explain federated websites to a friend and she asked if there is a federated dating app. She recently went through a break up and the apps are dreadful as I'm sure many of you know.

It'd be hard to launch a dating system on the fediverse because it the type of service that relies heavily on network effects. People want to be on the dating app with the most people. However, I think there is an opportunity because the mainstream apps are so notoriously awful, monetized, and enshitified.

It could be a community within an existing network or it could be its own website. I don't know, I'm just putting the idea out there.
