And yet, instead of just scrolling on and ignoring it, hiding the post, or even blocking me, each of which or even all together would have taken a couple of clicks at most, you decided that taking the time to let everyone know was a better use of your time.

Had you even considered that no one cares that you don't like a completely inconsequential thing? 😂

Mine have been pretty much fucked since birth, so I always knew they'd eventually completely betray me lol 😭

our big companies are infinitely more powerful than our government

The big companies ARE your government. Wtf do you think "lobbying" is? Who the fuck do you think funds both your parties? (Hint: It's bribery and billionaires, respectively)

and it seems like SOME of them should be putting up a fight, standing up for their queer employees, Hispanic customers or at least the Palestinian family members of the board.

Why the fuck would they?

Because they used pink/green/crip/whatever wash for a few days each year to fool you in to believing they care? They don't. Never have.

Companies exist to make profit, as long as appropriating marginalised peoples' struggles and pretending to care made them money, they kept the mask on, now it no longer does, nor do they have rules like (what they would consider) that "silly" DEI keeping them from openly discriminating and maintaining the white supremacist cis-heteronormative ableist patriarchy they still openly favoured even when the rules were in place. Bending the knee to fascism (which capitalism will always decay in to precisely for this reason) will ultimately be much more profitable for them - the billionaires who own the companies (the companies are just a shell, that they will drop for a bigger one. Prison labour? Deportation camp labour? Slave labour? They're already here, and are about to have a growth spurt) in a fucking flash.

Literally no one with real power is opposing this fascist takeover, and it fucking disgusts me.

Literally anyone with real power under capitalism is fascist, or at least dedicated to maintain the the capitalist system that leads to it, what the fuck did you expect?

Companies are jumping at the chance to appease orange Hitler, and all struck down their gay pride policies before even being ordered or threatened.

Welcome to pinkwashing, queers have been telling you for decades that rainbow capitalism is a mask and a trick you shouldn't fall for.

Also maybe consider doing some research in to war and other oppression, see how motherfuckingly eye-wateringly profitable it is.

I guess somehow I was naive enough to hope that Starbucks or Patagonia or Target would pretend to resist the erasure of queer people, or even just push the oppressors into a courtroom before kneeling down to lick their spray tanned boots.

I'm sorry, but that is beyond naive, that is wilfully out of touch. These companies, the government, and capitalism itself have been telling you all along who they are, and those who they oppress have been scream it forever, it was all there for you to see and hear, but you chose not to, probably because it was more comforting to believe the lie, and marginalised people couldn't possibly be right with our "cynicism".

This is America. Land of the ~~cowards~~ corporation.

FTFY.

These people are not cowards, and the longer you continue to frame them as such, instead of as the intentionally oppressive individuals, and their machine, that they are, that machine will continue to chug along uninterrupted.

The idea that corporations and the people who run them should be “brave” and stand up against the very system that enables them to exist, or somehow give a single fuck about society at large, otherwise they’re “cowards” (and not simply self serving oppressors) is so far beyond absurd, it’s actually enraging at this point.

assuming their actual hiring practices are not really changing

Why on earth would anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention assume that?

If Google from now on only hired straight, white people, it would be detrimental to them for missing out on a huge pool of talent and they know this

Even with DEI they still hire more straight white men than any other group, and they do so because they don't give a shit about the talent they might be missing out on because they don't consider marginalised people to be as talented in the first place, that's literally how white supremacy along with other systems of oppression function, and they aren't something that is just happening now, they are literally what America and capitalism are founded on.

These aren’t businesses making tough choices – they’re paper empires run by moral cowards—simpering, whimpering, and weak.”

How desperate to hide from reality can someone be??

These are the most powerful people on the planet making perfectly reasonable decisions for their own benefit, because that's literally the only thing they've ever cared about.

The idea that corporations and the people who run them should be "brave" and stand up against the very system that enables them to exist, or somehow give a single fuck about society at large, otherwise they're "cowards" (and not simply self serving oppressors) is so far beyond absurd, it's actually enraging at this point.

Now that is a celebration I can get on board with lol

[–] ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I have some similar issues, so I can relate, except for the sitting (or standing) fast, since my joints just won't let me 😭

Great that changing meds helped so noticeably!

Good on you, keep at it as long as you are able, those who are in danger and stuck in the most dangerous places need to see someone sticking up for them the most. ✊

There is also !aroaceagender@lemmy.blahaj.zone in case that fits, but it's pretty quiet too..

I hope the "some type of way" you feel isn't too bad, or that at least knowing there are more of us out there helps a little. 👋

I generally just ignore all holidays, it's so much easier lol

Sorry, in all seriousness that really sucks, sending you a friendly internet hug.

1 I.C.E can now raid hospitals. Healthcare workers- here is what you need to know.

2 What Is an ICE Raid? ICE agents will go to a hospital without warning as part of an investigation into an employee or patient.

3 ICE agents are NOT police officers. But their uniforms may say "Police" or "Federal Agent. They may carry guns. Sometimes local police officers go with ICE agents on ICE raids

4 Medical providers can ONLY disclose a patient's information to ICE/LEO if there is a court order/warrant/subpoena/summons **** issued by a judge. ****

If it's an ICE agent WITHOUT a warrant, they must have an administrative request, such as a summons issued by a federal or state agency, like the Department of Homeland Security.

Otherwise, giving out patient information (even a name) is a HIPAA violation.

5 If they do have a warrant or administrative request, ASK TO SEE IT. They must let you examine the document. ICE agents RARELY have judicial warrants or requests.

Even if they have a warrant or an administrative request, you can refuse to tell them anything if doing so would jeopardize the patient, you as the provider, or others in the hospital.

You can ask them to leave the unit.

6 Please remember your oath during times like these. Immigration status should NEVER impact care.

It is up to us to protect our patients. We have to stand against this as a united medical community.

ID: 3 images from a cage fight.

In the top image there is a fight going on inside the cage which is tagged "LGBT+ spaces", outside of the cage is a fighter looking in, tagged "bigot".

In the middle image we see the outside fighter hanging off of the gate to the cage, trying to break the chains keeping it locked.

In the bottom image the outside fighter has got in to the cage, where another fighter is on their knees leaning on one hand, the bigot is shouting at them "STOP FORCING YOUR VIEWS ON TO ME!"

Doc: "I'm sorry captain, we're out of Gritty Skittles."
