coworker today was talking about how she tries to drive less to reduce her carbon footprint, so instead of ordering takeout she orders delivery. when I pointed out that this actually results in the exact same amount of emissions because the same amount of driving happens she said "yeah but it's not me driving." and I feel like any critique of progressive individualism I could make based on this would fall flat because like. what else is there to say? she summed up the flaws of individualist environmentalism better than most critics could, without intending to.
okay well given the number of tags that seem to think the problem is how she's calculating her personal carbon footprint and not the idea of a "personal carbon footprint" maybe I should have elaborated some
I NEED TO SHOW THIS
INTOLERANCE
I totally love how "reverse racism" is a concept that many self proclaimed leftists/progressives are now accepting as real. It's so cool that leftists are now prioritising the feelings of privileged white people over actually doing anything to combat racism. It's so cool that anti-racism isn't allowed to make any critiques of white people as a class without someone bursting in and going "but won't someone please think of the poor white people" and saying you're just as bad as a ku klux klanner for doing so.
I am being sarcastic this shit sucks fucking ass
wait interrupting my break to let people know that I did not shut down my bsky account they suspended it over a obvious joke
basically if you're ever telling any trans person they need to shut up and that they're taking up too much space talking about their own gendered experience I do need you to remember that cis people exist in this world who never ever have to compete for this kind of discussion space. their existence & experience is taken for granted. no trans person can ever take up too much space, no trans person will ever be too loud, as long as cisgenderism is still considered the norm. we do not need fewer of any type of trans person - we need more of all of us, everywhere, & we need more willingness to listen. more voices makes for a more solid foundation of experience. more hands for lighter work.

HUH???
that's normal
that's literally normal. an instrument is a girl she has feelings and can hear you.
Rene Magritte: The Glass Key (1959)
Being a very poor painter, Magritte's works seldom resembled what he intended them to. This attempt at a glass key ended up looking like a rock in a mountain landscape.
Other mispainted works included his attempt at a self portrait, which looked like a slice of ham with an eyeball; his painting "Heartstrings" which resembled a cloud in a glass; and perhaps his most famous failure, "This is Not a Pipe," which sadly very clearly showed a pipe.
“Big Pharma” okay are we talking about how privatization and monetization has deeply corrupted the field of medicine or are you talking about how you think chemicals in the water are making the frogs gay
“GMOs”? Are we talking seeds that grow sterile plants and patenting genetic modifications then destroying any competition no matter how small they are? Or are we talking life saving rice with vitamin a to make sure kids don’t go blind in regions not suited for other high vit a veg? … or are we talking about your chidoodle?
Conversely, “alternative medicines”? Are we talking the traditional practices of non-Western societies which have an ancient history of being the cultural tools that allowed communities to take care of the health of their members and are nowadays rigorously studied within these communities to adapt them to the needs of the contemporary life, and can offer important prompts to modern medicine? Or are we talking about a white woman who traveled to India twice, followed a five-hour seminar and knows everything about inner energies now
