more and more, i’m seeing posts reblogged on my dash where the OP for them is a thinly veiled terf / general trans exclusionist / transphobic. it’s frustrating, cus checking the source for any length of time shows what they believe in, but ppl just… aren’t checking or noticing. this is bad. terfs are learning from the alt-right

the posts themselves can sometimes have points that are “good”, but remember that this is a tactic terfs use to try and redpill ppl into their idealology – by saying blanket, easily agreeable statements (ex. violence against women is bad) and using that to be like. “see? we don’t think so different after all :)”. 

so, it’s important to note that this is part of the same recruitment tactic the alt-right uses, and it’s very insidious. terfs have also starting using different names for themselves / trying to distance themselves from the terf label to try and sneak under the radar (to again draw parallels to the alt-right, how they hate being called nazis, or neo-nazis, or anything related to nazis, b/c they know that there’s no way they can undo negative attachment to that word, and they want to infiltrate and recruit you)

some examples of words & phrases to watch out for, if you’re unsure: wgtow (women going their own way), which i found just now, and “women and males”. i’m sure there’s more so please rb and add them if you can

*releases pack of dads into home depot* go……be free

invasive species encroach on lesbian territory

This is a common misconception because they’re such similar environments, but you should be aware that dads are native to Home Depot, while lesbians are actually native to Lowe’s. At this point, however, both dads and lesbians have made themselves at home in both Home Depot and Lowe’s to the point that trying to separate them back into their original ranges would probably do more harm than good to the delicate ecosystem of large chain hardware stores.

A properly raised and socialized Dad will be perfectly comfortable cohabiting with Lesbians. Its not really “encroaching on another’s territory”. You wouldn’t say that about foxes in a forest that also homes bobcats, would you? No. It’s just two different species that have both evolved to live in similar/the same environment. As long as they recognize each other as equals, Dads and Lesbians are more than capable of cohabitation.

Now, if you were to release a pack of Lumberjacks into a Lowes or Home Depot, that’s where chaos will reign. Being adapted to a far harsher and more demanding environment, the Lumberjacks would simply push Dads and Lesbians both out and also consume far more than a sustainable amount of resources. It would be like releasing bears at a country club.

As a former timber-harvester… I feel this is potentially accurate in theory. But highly improbable in actuality.

Lumberjacks, like most megafauna species generally require more space than the average hardware store, even a big box store could provide. The misconception is that Lumberjacks are a social species because of how they often work and live together.

This is a matter of necessity, not preference, and a survival technique for thriving under the LogBoss.

A “pack” of Lumberjacks, if not under the environmental pressure of a LogBoss will naturally disperse until they each have a wide territory.

Lumberjacks rarely fight for territory.

One on one, a Lumberjack could drive out a Dad or Lesbian, however the latter tend to travel in social packs.

Lumberjacks will passively retreat on the presence of large numbers of people. Kind of like Sasquatch.

Getting a “pack” of Lumberjacks assembled would be hard enough unless they were forced into a Hardware Store by a LogBoss. In that case, they would already be in a heightened and potentially agitated state far above their natural behavior. This artificial scenario can be likened to a circus animal running amok. If it had been in the wild, the incident would not have occurred.

Free-roaming Lumberjacks are the cryptids of the Hardware ecosystem. They are surprisingly quiet and unobtrusive.

Please stop labeling Lumberjacks as dangerous roving social predators. They are intermediate level omnivores and remarkably peaceful unless threatened.

As a hardware store worker I can say that this is all 100% accurate.

Happy Straight Pride everyone!

This story is actually fucking horrifying

The studio didn’t background check the guy, he had a history of domestic violence, abuse, and stalking.

When editing the episodes for air they found bits of audio picked up by his mic of him telling the girl that if she said anything to the producers he’d kill her and her family

honestly who even thought this show was a good idea to begin with

how could a show where the woman is under intense pressure to Make Things Work and Not Make A Fuss because if she does she’ll be torn apart by viewers possibly attract predatory men??? really makes you think!

I’m all for making jokes about The Straights™ but I’m getting kind of tired of posts that go:

A woman: [gets abused by her partner]

Tungle.bunghole: “LMAAAOOO STR8 CULTURE”

^^^^^

^^^^exactly like that shit isn’t funny

Deregulation will get you killed. Republican policies make your life worse.

Let’s be really clear that these aren’t farmers in the sense you normally think of. These aren’t oldish guys wearing overalls and women with weathered hands. These aren’t families with kids who come home from school and help with chores of day to day farm life.

These are corporations. Corporate Farms.

It’s known as Big Agribusiness. And it’s been destroying family farms for decades, consolidating ownership of the food supply, and forcing people off their homes and into tighter living spaces in the city.
