It's no more degrading than other work. I wouldn't tell a cashier they're degrading themself by having to work to live, and I wouldn't say that to a sex worker either.

Well, technically this is correct

I like it too! I can't say I use it regularly or anything, but I've seen some good stuff come from there.

I agree with you about r/TikTokCringe. I enjoyed that sub, and I think I watched more good short videos there than I did on Tik Tok itself.

I hate that she used a messy break up as an excuse to abuse these boys. A lot of people go through messy breakups all the time, and guess what they don't do.

Hmmm good question. I was going to say "no qualifiers," but even terms like "strongest" and "on earth" are qualifiers.

If there were no qualifiers allowed, you would only be able to say "I want to be the creature"

The illusion of choice, the lie of hope

This is also a good point. I think we'd have a better shot at electing a third-party candidate than we would of pushing an establishment democrat left.

@LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Not to mention that even the "socially left" is highly questionable. When I see a leader who's willing to throw other marginalized groups such as Palestinians, refugees, and BIPOC under the bus, I have no doubt he'd have us LGBTQIA+ people lined up and executed if he thought it would help him win elections. Establishment Democrats are not allies, no matter how many rainbows they project on the White House.

Yep, this is how I see it too. Solidarity. If we don't stand up for each other, then we all fall.

9/10 times when someone pings @everyone, I've been very not happy to see it

Avocado toast

Wait, that's old news. What's the new avocado toast that rich people think we're squandering money on?

The boycotts that Totally Won't Work but pleeeese don't corporate will do anything to stop you boycotting wouldn't you like a nice starbucks(tm) iced mocharina?

If I had to go into the woods with a bear or a non-hydrated person, I'd choose the bear

Even on tumblr, most people will tag it so people like me can filter it. I'm not clicking the post, but if it's the word I think it is, then yes -- it elicits an immediate involuntary trauma response in me, so even on tumblr I filter it.

I'm not saying not to use it, but I'm really thankful when people are thoughtful about it. There's a reason it's generally considered a slur. May have something to do with me being older and growing up in a very much not safe place for LGBTQIA+ people, so my experience with it was ... not good. Wish I could move past that, but I have my coping mechanisms like what I described above.

No thank you. I don't even know how to filter stuff on lemmy. I know my comment is long, but basically I want to say I appreciate the thoughtfulness

LinkOpensChest_wav ,
@LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I'm so glad you understood because I was a little bit scared to share.

And honestly, I really hope it does get generally reclaimed so that other people don't need to feel the way that I do when people use it. But I sure appreciate it being tagged!

I honestly thought it was trying to mock Shiva the first time I saw a picture of it
