lol. Intimates are poorly constructed, but we also ask a lot of them. In all seriousness though, I have repaired undies and bras and gotten another 6 months to a year out of them.

Yup. Everyone has to buy something. The point is to direct people to do that at places that are LES evil rather than giving in and saying "nothing matters I guess I'll just do whatever." Defeatism is collaboration.

Why not keep your defeatism to yourself? Be part of the solution or stfu.

Huge turnout.

Major cities: https://m.ai6yr.org/@ai6yr/114288115617938919 and small towns all over

For real. All of those kids and no commune/village/tribe to help you... Sounds awful.

I have no problem with people feeling pride about their immutable characteristics. Scottish and proud? Excellent, go put on a kilt and throw one of those giant poles; looks fun! I have a problem when "pride" is used to organize people against a vulnerable minority. So sure, enjoy your super straight free beer with a bar full of other totally straight cis men and talk about... Idk sports or something. However, given the current political climate it seems to me like this is likely a way to gather people resentful of LGBT pride's efforts to claim equal rights. So it isn't a gathering of proud straight men, it is likely a gathering of bitter hateful men.

LGBT pride exists to fight for equal rights and representation that cis-hetero people enjoy by default; it isn't meant to gain an upper hand or displace cis-hetero people. Far-right extremists like to paint the movement's goals as a way to erase white straight cis culture, but this is just reactionary propaganda to mobilize people against this minority group.

That is what I read it as too. Happy Pride!

 

"Along with their anger about abortion, they grouse about not being allowed to punish students "for being homosexual or transgender." They also argue they should be able to penalize teaching assistants for "cross-dressing," by which they appear to mean allowing trans women to wear skirts."

This is the sort of messaging I would love to see more of. We aren't going to convince actual Nazis to change their minds but this is the sort of thing that should remind old-school Republicans that anti-trans legislation is anti-freedom legislation.

I will be calling my representatives and letting them know that I would sooner see the government shutdown than see any of these proposals become law.
