If there's anyone on the left who's still defending Jesse Singal or downplaying his transphobia I'm sorry but it's absolutely disgusting to defend this behavior.
He deleted the tweet after again being called out by the very people he was trying to exploit to push his ideology
@UnknowableEnby@NiceMangos True. But the chuds are the only ones fooled by people with right-wing beliefs who call themselves "centrist" and "liberal". Famous person paying mere lip service to a few liberal things = lefty darling to them.
As workers go on strike all around the country, it's important to remember that COVID is still causing death and disability. Fighting for workers' rights should include fighting to make our workplaces safe from COVID.
@RVAwonk Being signed up kind of automatically if you have an Instagram account might be a lot of it?
A fairly easy to use mimic of Twitter without Elon, from what I hear. BlueSky is still in beta, not open to everyone.
That's the impression I have.
@MAMelby I think it's mainly referring to how rigid the rules are. Is magic like specific spells and rules you can study, or is it more fluid with imagination. That kind of thing.
@RottenInDenmark I notice the rather one-way "demeaning identities" thing. The Catholic church, including nuns, denigrate LGBTQ people all the time and much worse. But they deserve respect by those their organization actively oppresses?
Everyone deserves a living wage.
Everyone deserves housing.
Everyone deserves education.
Everyone deserves healthcare.
Advocating for such is an act of love.
@1stTimeCall It's bigger money that wants "to go back to normal" regardless of the human cost. Companies wanting profit without having to do safety.
Govt tells hospitals they have to keep up standards and keep enough room for surges. Profit-seeking reduces staff, safety, etc.
@1stTimeCall Also hospitals have been "tainted" for many decades. We have a for-profit health care system. Nothing new there except hospitals being overwhelmed after all the "efficiency" cost-cutting for profit.
@1stTimeCall COVID denialism was bigger money. Thus all this dumping safety measures, ceasing efforts to stop it, and "going back to normal" despite an ongoing pandemic that's killing a lot of people.
