    So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom

    It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

    602-771-3500 or empower @ azed .gov 🤡

    and for the love of god, don’t just spam it with memes or le funny shrek jokes or whatever, they’ll just hang up

    make plausible-sounding reports for things that don’t actually exist, so that they actually have to waste time/resources investigating false leads - the goal is to waste time they would otherwise be using to do their jobs, not to get tumblr clout for being an epic troll

    So apparently the internet article said the superintendent wouldn't be deterred by the prank calls because they would 'taper off eventually'. It'd be a real shame if this post stayed in circulation via queues so they get a consistent list of prank calls to filter through. 😇

    Me: -so after it became apparent that ‘retarded’ had become a term of abuse, educators and psychiatrists switched to other terms like ‘handicapped’ or ‘special needs’ in an attempt to -

    George Orwell, whom I’ve dragged forward in time with my arcane powers because I’m lonely and want someone to talk to: You have a telephone in your pocket?  It listens to you all the time?

    Me: Never mind about that, the point is, young people now mock each other by sending the wheelchair emoji - that’s a type of electronic heiroglyph - to suggest mental deficiency and shout SPESHUL!!!! while doing offensive imitations of disabled facial expressions and posture.  So any attempt to lexographically make crimethink impossible is pretty much doomed because the meaning of words in everyday conversation can’t be controlled by a dictionary entry, no matter how many Ministry of Truth employees-

    Orwell: It reports your location to the telephone company at all times?

    Ok but both the additions actually miss the point of the original, which is that Orwell is fixating on something which is actually MORE RELEVANT to his concerns than the language issue

    Feminism isn't "Women vs Men"

    Feminism is "Us vs The Patriarchy"

    And "Us" includes everyone.

    the patriarchy is the men btw.

  • hadeantaiga

    No, it's not. The patriarchy is a system. Women can also enforce the patriarchy. Women can be and often are misogynistic and sexist.

    Understanding the difference between a hierarchical system and individual human beings should be feminism 101.

    idek what to tell ppl who are uncomfortable with the historical importance of kink in lgbt culture like... sorry? i'll just go back in time to like idk stonewall or whatever and tell all the gay leathermen and whoever else to go home cuz in 50 years some puritanical gay people on the internet are gonna be uncomfortable with their influence on our culture? this isnt to say kink is inherently queer but its always been important in our community. cmon now

  • foragecore

    and on the topic of kink and lgbt culture the whole kink in pride thing is ridiculous and also like. a non-issue. the most you'll see at pride is maybe some pup masks and leather daddies. they r just outfits. youve been fooled by conservative assholes trying to pass off pictures of folsom as regular pride events. people at pride are not having sex in the streets
