I wouldn't be so dismissive, it's being played on the radio here.

I was about to take back my labour value from my company, but then some white guy told me the real problem is people milking welfare. /s
I put up one of those sticky hooks near a window just for this purpose! Never had a loofah get gross on me. I am using the gourd type, too.
Or, god forbid, use their Eminent Domain to take some private land along the sidewalk to improve life for poor people without impeding the ability of wheelchair users to navigate the city.
But that would anger the landowners, of course.
For the unfamiliar: "la sombrita" is the name of the corrugated metal piece on this bus stop post. It is designed to provide shade to people waiting for the bus, because the areas where these are installed have very little shade.
Due to a multitude of reasons from NIMBYs to building codes, it's difficult for the city to install anything much bigger or better than this.
If you find this interesting, you can learn more by listening to episode 545 of the podcast 99% Invisible. It's called "Shade Redux"
I didn't see the original comment, but I agree with general anarchist sentiment and even I know that we won't be able to jump right to it from capitalism. I view it more as an ideal longterm goal, and we are of course going to need to have a stable socialist society first to get there. That's why any communist willing to work with anarchists is a comrade of mine!
Nobody is saying that.
Ughhh. This one really kills me, because usually it's cis people saying this to trans people, telling them that they're wrong. Like, would you do that to someone of a racial minority who told you something you said was a slur? Probably not.
I've even seen people say that their "transwoman friend" [sic] said it was okay. As if that makes it okay for everyone. It's like they think they have some kind of weird "misgendering pass."
They call leftist spaces the "echo chambers," yet they are the ones rushing to shut up opinions they don't agree with by defederating. Kind of funny.
Here's a terrible take I saw today from a lemm.ee user:
[Hexbear's] they/them tags are a blantant mockery of trans people.
I guess my pronouns are a joke??
no, they aren't pro trans or pro lgbtq. They purposely pick those pronouns and go around to post racist stuff, bigotry, chinese propaganda and all the accompanying junk. Typical online terrorism.
Hexbear is so good at being GSRM inclusive that they literally think it's satirical or something. Which basically outs them as having never been a part of a truly inclusive space, since they expect that most people should use "normal" pronouns, and that spaces shouldn't be visibly queer.
Are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.
