A white man redecorated the Whitehouse and the person I responded to went "This Looks like a brown guy redecorated!" I don't think I'm the one who needs to go back to reddit

Bad thing happens in the West

Liberals: "What are we, a bunch of Asians?!?!"

I like to wind down in the evening by putting on an Iyashikei anime (Non Non Biyori, Yuru Camp, Mitsuboshi Colors, etc.)

Though lately I've been watching Sailor Moon, which is its own kind of relaxing, interestingly

These seem to be physical disability focused. But I'm a trans girl who is also colorblind. I never felt like my colorblindness was much of a disability, until I started trying to muddle my way through a gender transition.

Figuring out things like makeup and women's clothes is hard enough as it is, but it's especially daunting when you're colorblind.

Remember when you didn't even need an email address to sign up for reddit?

If I need to look at that site, my LibRedirect extension sends me to a privacy focused mirror

Yeah, this kind of vague, "kill your local pedophile :)" sentiment is often just an anti-LGBT dogwhistle and makes me uneasy.

If someone is going to post shit like this, and not actively tie it to the very obvious class dynamics of wealthy human traffickers, conservative Christians who promote child marriage, and politicians who protect them (without also being Anti-Semitic), then I just kind of assume it's a thinly veiled call for violence against queer people

A guy shoving a beer bottle up his ass is one of the things that precipitated the collapse of Yugoslavia

I'm colorblind, and I hate people asking me what color things are, unprompted. I get that they're trying to understand, but maybe have a little more tact???

Side note, I never felt like my colorblindness was a disability, until I started going through a gender transition, and it makes me feel so incredibly stuck.

I don't disagree, but I think it's worth recognizing that when we talk about the DSA, that it is, for better or worse more than just a reformist org.

I would not call Zohran Mandani a socialist.

He literally said, "The end goal is seizing the means of production"

Zohran Mamdani is a Socialist.

Traditionally yes, but the Democratic Socialists of America, as an organization (and of which Mamdani is a member), has a wide array of internal ideological factions within, that include Reformist Socialists, but also more revolutionary factions like Anarchists, Trotskyists, Marxist-Leninists, etc.

Remember no politics! LGBT people's lives can be different because the world isn't LGBT inclusive.

The world not being queer inclusive is political. I might not have legally available HRT by the end of the year :/

I've seen TERFs use it less, as they've started to win the "trans debate" less of a need to disguise their shit as "protecting lesbians"

Where's the well regulated militia you Americans scream about

So, one could argue that the well regulated militia in question is constituted by the National Guard, as they nominally are the armed forces of individual States, and can be nationalized under certain circumstances.

Except for the fact that Trump just nationalized the California National Guard when he's nominally not supposed to....

Lemmy federates with blogs?

So I'm a relatively young and healthy person. Im lucky enough to live in a city with an extensive parks system, and go hiking very regularly.

I find that it's fun, enjoyable and invigorating because I'm outside, and there are things to see. As a result, the fact that it's exercise becomes secondary.

How are you excercising? Because if it's going to a gym, or walking on a machine... Yeah I'd be miserable too.

Back in my day, we just told Cleverbot to suck our dicks

a side of human rights

You mean like expanding the United States' illegal drone assassination program?

That status quo comfort you're yearning for is exactly what lead us here in the first place.

That stays quo was built on incredible amounts of violence inflicted on the global south, and now the imperial boomerang is coming back around.

So no, I don't wish we had 'a bit of that status quo'.

Search engines are getting worse, in large part because of AI...

If it helps, you see, he was “in government” at the time so he had no choice but to be a shit eating sycophant who told the president whatever he thought he wanted to hear.

"Just following orders" is very famously not a defense for being complicit in a genocide
