for a much improved bluesky experience, make sure to go here and set the Rude label to off - it's a tool which at this point is weaponised almost exclusively to shadowban uppity trans women

"are women bourgeois" is funny until you have to suffer through everybody being dead serious about "trans women are bourgeois"

Posting this short article until morale improves.

WILL GERMAN REUNIFICATION HURT TRANSSEXUAL RIGHTS?
Now that East and West Germany are being united into one country, the laws concerning transsexuals and sex change operations are being re-evaluated. East Germany scores higher on transsexual rights than West Germany, but East Germany's more humane laws may not prevail in the new reunited country. As it stands now in East Germany, men and women 18 years and older have been able to receive govern-ment-sponsored sex reassignment surgery, get married and adopt children. According to Professor Goerlich of East Germany, who spoke at a meeting on the subject in Hamburg, in two cases a transsexual mother gained custody of her adopted children after a divorce. Goerlich plans to fight to retain these more liberal laws in the future Germany.

MARXISM TAUGHT ME WHAT SOCIETY WAS. I WAS LIKE A BLINDFOLDED MAN IN A FOREST, WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE NORTH OR SOUTH IS.
IF YOU DON'T
EVENTUALLY COME TO TRULY UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS STRUGGLE, OR AT LEAST HAVE A CLEAR IDEA THAT SOCIETY IS DIVIDED BETWEEN THE RICH AND THE POOR AND
RE
THAT SOME PEOPLE SUBJUGATE AND
EXPLOIT OTHER PEOPLE,
YOU'RE LOST IN A FOREST, NOT
KNOWING ANYTHING.

i guess i'm just being pedantic, like Biriani is great just the flavour isn't coming from the rice

Cariad Ferch Traws @cariadcinfra.bsky.social · 4d

sure, and there are lots of good rice dishes and foods that go well with rice, but as a food it's never the star

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

my impression of the role of president was that they're basically just a mascot anyway, and like it seemed to serve Irish neoliberalism quite well to put a nice socialist in the role for propaganda reasons
