they didn't say 'not like' they said 'demeaning'

unless you're saying you want to be demeaning towards a trans person for liking those things?

i dont know how to word this well, but this meme feels kinda sus - the POC emojis with the white kids is classic trope to imply that any POC on a leftist forum are actually white kids LARPing, which feels kinda shitty in the context of Hexbear already having problems with POC folk feeling sidelined

just saying

hmmm not a bad idea, hadn't thought of using it as a sounding board :) thank you!

tbh this is probably what I should be doing, but it feels overwhelming to double up on the work πŸ˜…

but i suppose there's no real other way forward, wish you could just know beforehand what works and what doesnt lmao

"My president's shaking hands with a ghost" is some shit Bob Dylan would use as a metaphor for the death of America, just saying

personal anecdote that anzac day always reminds me of: used to write for a yearly "satire" paper based in WA (quality is extremely questionable), whose main purpose most years was just pissing people off. We'd started going on a very left-leaning tilt around 2012, and I remember in 2015 we ran an article conflating ANZAC day with Participation Trophies

we got a number of calls that day calling us unaustralian, calling for us to be expelled, threatening us and all sorts lmao

ofc nothing came of it, all empty threats in the end but still it doesn't take much to poke the aussie patriotism bear

I mean, a key feature of it all is that
