I don’t think there’s been any proof that they are anywhere near Ukraine, but there was that one geolocated video of North Koreans in Russia, about 70 miles from the NK border.

That’s because it’s never the same stuff in “pink cocaine”. There is no real recipe, there are many manufacturers (it’s literally no effort, lol).

we should try to find theory taglines that sound like internet drama taglines, to keep people guessing

I mean, misandry does exist in so far as an individuals prejudice, but not exactly systemically.

A lot of what could be perceived as systemic misandry is really just the more toxic aspects of patriarchy and masculinity. In controlling society, masculinity claimed violence as it’s own. So when men are much less likely to be taken seriously in SA cases, or when they get longer sentences than women for the same crime, it’s the flip side of what benefits men. The power imbalance is overall in men’s favor, which is why it’s not really misandry, but it’s not like it doesn’t harm men in some ways (and I think most feminists would agree with that).

imo misogyny should also just be used for personal prejudice, because it doesn’t really encompass all that makes up patriarchy.

This particular case is a bit interesting, the tweet is a bit misleading. The “banter” was calling the dude a “bald c***”", and the sex-related harassment is just one part, on a whole it was a wrongful dismissal suit. But basically harassment by British law is unwanted conduct related to a protected characteristic, that violates dignity and creates a hostile environment. Sex is a protected characteristic, and all of the parties agreed that baldness was much more common among the male sex, and that bald insults were more likely to be directed at men. The lower court ruled in favor of the dude (after all, it met the criteria usually used), so the defendant appealed, arguing that a sex-related trait has to be exclusive. The judge thought that reasoning was silly, it would mean that “Hiya Big Tits” isn’t sex-related because men can have “tits” too.

lmao

I can’t wait!

Haven’t seen much about this here, but it seems that the ILA intends to strike on October 1st.

There’s some really cool stuff I wish I could talk about, with some amazing photos to go along, but it would basically dox me :(

The Rizzler is a guy (a kid, to be particular), but the riddler + rizz combination came first, he got the name from the meme

Everybody at the IWW convention is required to wear masks too!

I can’t show a picture (people generally won’t consent), but everyone in the building (speaker, chair, everyone) is wearing a mask (N95 level minimum).

And people wonder why addicts refuse treatment. Child separation isn’t the only issue, it can be a problematic process.

Getting suboxone or methadone through less legal means is a lot better for most people, but can end up having some of the same issues as normal street drugs (contamination, fakes, especially for methadone).

If OP (or anyone else in SF) finds someone named Gabriel Bell, or is named Gabriel Bell, or has the ability to change their name to Gabriel Bell, or is willing to use the nom de guerre Gabriel Bell, they have a duty to start the Bell riots.

Yeah, things aren’t exactly going in her favor right now. She invoked the safer spaces policy twice, and the complaints committee elections were a bit of a mess.

Convention makes the IWW seem worse than it is, really (ppl, pls join).

If anyone is a member, and wants to see about what’s happening, they could ask their delegate (elected in a branch meeting), or they could look at Interwob (there’s a few posts about the resolutions, and I think someones giving live updates)

yep, it’s in Toronto, like the Instagram post says. it goes the whole of labor day weekend, with delegates from most branches.

there have been a few delays, but it’s about to officially start.
