  • Lol this post really angered the dumbest idiots from .ml who think voting is useless and can’t be bothered to spend 5min twice a year to do it.

    They don’t notice that blue states have longer lifespans and more protections for trans people. They don’t see that voting for more left leaning candidates has had real tangible benefits on thousands of lives and that getting candidates which are even further left would do even more good.

    Instead they spend their time organizing for a revolution that isn’t coming like evangelicals preparing for the rapture, with no more ability to bring it about and with less public support.

    Except they aren’t doing that instead of voting, they could take 5 min out of their day to go vote twice a year without getting in the way of their revolution at all. But they don’t even use the bare minimum of effort to do something that has been rigously studied to materially improve lives.

    When Biden made sure trans people couldn’t be discriminated against legally with executive order 13988 they were organizing for the revolution. While Zhoran Mamdani is reducing the cost of housing and groceries they are organizing for the revolution. If the DSA gets enough people in power that funding to Israel cut off they will still be wasting their time organizing for a revolution that never comes. They will still be smugly useless.



  • “>In other words, if you’re mad and want to yell at someone, channel your anger away from the anti-trans republicans.”

    I’m so fucking tired of these dumbass takes. You gotta get the pro-trans candidate in the primary. If you wait to look up if your candidates are anti-trans until right before the general then you waited too fucking long.

    Waiting until after the primary to realize that both candidates are anti-trans is like waiting until your house is already on fire to consider if you should buy fire extinguishers. Voting for the shitty Democrat is painful but letting the even shittier Republican who also hates immigrants too win is like adding gas so that your neighbor’s house will burn too.


  • There is a running joke about how whenever anyone describes their culture, that culture emphasizes food and family. Hispanic, Asian, whatever. Doesn’t matter what culture you are talking about, basically all of them do it. Joking about how “no actually my culture hates food and family” is a sort of sarcastic subversion and implies that the person telling the joke is like an alien or something. This meme is yet a third tier of the joke because it highlights parts of europe with a reputation for bland or off-putting food and people who don’t show affection obviously and implies that they actually do hate food and family, subverting the subversion.

    Then OP explained it wrong because they have brain worms and are a campist.













  • Being color blind will be a bit of a hassle and that will make it hard to be adventurous with color but you still have shape, texture, pattern, luster, and drape to work with if you want to be adventurous.

    You can contrast big pants and small shirts, use fisherman knits and embroidery for texture, bold patterns like faire isle sweaters or loud restor shirts, contrast dull matte wollens with shiny rayon, or contrast drapey silk with thick jackets with lots of body.

    Losing color vision gets in the way of only a small fraction of what you have to work with
