@Tinu The social convention of transactional relationships.
People aren't valuable unless they *do* stuff for you, which means ppl who struggle with doing stuff end up isolated w/ no supports when they could contribute to a healthy community if they're supported
@Tinu Getting blacklisted from medical treatment for rude behavior.
It's fucking health and wellbeing vs feelings, yes ppl shouldn't be rude and there should be consequences for aggression, but denying medical treatment bc someone gets frustrated is not it.
@pot8um@AutisticCallum_ @PunishmentHurts Yuppers,
Wicked smart, socially stunted, likes to experiment with combining different shit and would be out learning as much as I can bc the world is *so interesting* so I would be a good place to go for some kinds of guidance.
Sounds like a witch to me
@StopFundingHate This reminds me of the guy in Canada who claimed he was jailed for misgendering his kid when in fact he was jailed for breach of custody and contempt of court after he ignored a judge's order to stop publicly sharing the names of his kid, ex-wife and their Doctors online
@klick2me @HKC103 @AmazingPosts_ It will pull it, but the rock, both solid and molten, of earth outweighs the mass of the moon by enough that our own gravity pretty much cancels out the effect for matter that dense. Surface water is under little enough pressure to be affected by the relatively weak tidal force
Crazy story: My 9yo trans child was so proud and confident that they ended up on the cover of National Geographic Magazine (see my cover pic). It was the "Gender Revolution"! But within days, we were doxxed on KiwiFarms.
@ChronicBabak @BurleyMariah @AutisticHelpsU@EricMGarcia I'm saying that accessibility in workplaces would include a group setup for people like your sister in job types that can accommodate such a setup.
I'm saying workplaces who do so should get subsidized so that they can afford to pay all of their workers properly. She'd be working
@ChronicBabak @BurleyMariah @AutisticHelpsU@EricMGarcia I think the bridging solution is government subsidies for companies that provide a fair and accessible work environment that meets needs. This would would offset costs and potentially create an incentive. This would have to grow into something more sustainable as culture shifts
@ChronicBabak @BurleyMariah @AutisticHelpsU@EricMGarcia The answer isn't to let profiteers continue the unfair exploitation while simultaneously telling disabled workers they aren't worth a living wage.
We need to push for employers to make themselves accessible, that means providing the environment your employees need, like a group
@ChronicBabak @BurleyMariah @AutisticHelpsU@EricMGarcia We're not saying the answer is easy, but the answer IS to start holding employers accountable for their exploitation and working to build cultural norms that value people over profit, so that the idea of withholding a living wage for profit margins becomes unconscionable
@constans@DisabledBeing@VeryBadLlama That's because of the divide-and-conquor individualist philosophy that asserts one owner per property and your neighbor is a chump if they can't get theirs.
We've been led by the nose into destroying any community that could support us so we remain dependent on the state
@mothboy2@Esqueer_@cmclymer We're celebrating getting it taken down here dude...
We all had the same reaction when we found that shite, which is why it's been dropped.
@BarbaraHRigney @mayawiley It's because the people who desperately want to transition to a feudal system with themselves as the lords see him as a useful tool.
It's because so much of the US government doesn't care about democracy, they just want power, and democracy must be evaded to gain maximum power
@forknoyuki @Gunnerama_ @Scuttlecliff Tolkien was a master at worldbuilding anf crafting lore, but almost couldn't get the Fellowship published bc the Council of Elrond chapter was just pages on pages of exposition contextualizing the main conflict that's about as exciting as a real meeting/buracratic briefing
@forknoyuki @Gunnerama_ @Scuttlecliff I read the books a lot growing up, and ironically ppls complaints about the writing is similar to what ppl complained about in the books. The exposition heavy dialogue in dialects reminiscent of, yet not quite accurate to real-world dialects are true to source lol
@Struckneptune @mahisaurus Yeah, I think the Hermione being black thing wasn't thought of by her, iirc, it was just the casting choice for the play the cursed child that she signed off on. Which I'm sure in her mind makes her an untainted warrior for civil rights
@goose_rant @BreakingBraavos Just be mindful that your question comes riding on a wave of racists who don't actually care about the logic and are asking questions like these in bad faith.
I like to respond logically either way, either in case there is good faith or to make the racists feel ignorant
