The heart of our Code outlines a commitment not to market to children younger than 13 years old because, based on the scientific evidence, we believe they cannot identify and understand the persuasive intent of advertising.1Β Instead, we equip gatekeepers, such as parents, with the information they need to decide what is right for their child's diet.

Xposting from the thread I made in music:
I've made a rough attempt at working out chords for guitar
My ear isn't amazing (I used an electronic tuner to help guess chords), and the recording is kinda shonky and weird (its a banjo recording from the 1950s), if anyone has suggestions I'm more than open to them!
C#m B C#m
Joe Stalin was a mighty man, a mighty man was he,
C#m B Ab
He led the Soviet people on the road to victory.
C#m B F#
All through the revolution he fought at Lenin's side,
C#m Ab C#m
And they made a combination till the day that Lenin died.

full lyrics as per prole wiki
He said, "Come all you people, we will work with brain and hand."
And then one day the Nazis came into the Soviet land,
They plundered to the Volga, to Stalingrad, and then
Joe Stalin said, Come on, me boys!" and he kicked them out again.
\
Joe Stalin was a southerner, in Georgia he was born
Where the oranges grow thick and fast and fields of waving corn;
And Joe he was a farmer, his fingers they were green
And he has planted the biggest crop the world has ever seen.
\
One day he looked upon his map and frowned and shook his head,
"There's too much brown and not enough green," these are the words he said;
"We'll have to change the weather, boys," he said and then he smiled,
"So let's begin by planting trees along three thousand miles."
\
Joe Stalin rolled his sleeves up and he said, "Come on, let's start!
The Volga river and the Don they are too far apart.
I think we'd better join them, so come and help me, pal,
And we'll build a mighty waterway, the Volga-Don Canal."
\
One day he went into the North and there saw rivers three
All emptying their waters into the Polar Sea;
"Now that's not right," Joe Stalin said, "these rivers they are ours,
We'll turn 'em 'round and make 'em work to give electric power."
\
There was a range of mountains that was standing in the way
So Stalin put his hand out and he smoothed them all away;
For Joe he was determined to make the land all green
And that's the biggest project that the world has ever seen.
\
Joe Stalin was a mighty man and he made a mighty plan;
He harnessed nature to the plough to work for the good of man;
He's hammered out the future, the forgeman he has been
And he's made the workers' state the best the world has ever seen.

ps thanks to the lemmy.ml user who shared this song in a comment the other day
I'll treat anything as anything if i get to compare some words π€€
this is great, thank you, Erika!

I really empathise with having more energy to comfort/ encourage/ build community at an earlier point of my transition, and I honestly really enjoyed wallowing in the sadness and self loathing at points, hell I used to enjoy arguing with terfs. I was insufferable.
Its worth keeping in mind that for it to have aged badly for you, things have gotten a little easier for people. Serano would have been in her late thirties when she wrote this, and only 5 years since she'd started transitioning. I'm in a similar situation and if I sat down and wrote anything for you, I tell you what, it'd be a sappy semi-poetic disaster, full sad girl hours.
People clipping this part for #\content today is pretty ick though, the worlds different, I know trans people who have lived as trans basically their whole life, Im happy for them, they almost seem well adjusted, but I cant relate. I actually almost have a nice time hanging out with younger trans people cause they help me feel almost well adjusted too.
You can remind people spoiling/content warning sad posts is in the code of conduct. Or report this shit so mods see it. Obviously you gotta do what you gotta do, but blocking people doesnt let them know, I'm thinking that user you mentioned wont even see this post (almost funny).
I only properly read the sidebar this week! lol
