aaand this is the whole point :)

Reminds of "hospital grade" medical items. In reality something that is "hospital grade" is very cheap, not made to last, and meets the bare minimum requirements. Typically medical items supplied by home health care companies are far better quality than any hospital grade item.

There they are, the two genders.

only a cis deals in absolutes

all of life and history aligned for that one joke we’re done everyone go home

when I was a kid my mom bought me a pair of dragon Beanie Babies and told me that they would protect me from monsters during the night

I thanked her with a heavy heart, knowing that there was no use trying to explain that silly little toys could not protect me; only increasingly complex sets of rules governing the times, places, and circumstances under which it was permissible for Things Unseen to harm or kill me. no talisman could repel them but they would respect treaties and trade deals.

the chief conditions were that Things Unseen could not touch me unless I was

if I met all those conditions I was legally obligated to allow myself to be killed without resistance, which of course meant that I got very rules lawyery about what constituted “being in the dark”; if I could see light of any kind, whether it was a distant street lamp or a faded star or an illuminated off button on a computer, that meant that the light was reaching my body and therefore I was not in true darkness and protected under the Monster Law

hey OP you ever get diagnosed with OCD?

dont play defense

From what I recall, the first time I saw 'rainbow capitalism' from a big brand was this image from Oreo in 2012.

It created a lot of controversy. Calls for boycotts and such. But Oreo didn't take it down. They were unapologetic and didn't try to appease the homophobes or backtrack.

And I know this sounds weird, but it was like a shift. Proof that public opinion or acceptance of queerness was widespread enough for a company to consider it profitable.

Perhaps minimalist design is so prevalent because we no longer have anything to say.

Congrats to Nate Stevenson (creator of Lumberjanes, Nimona, and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) on the gender!

Police may also feign kettles in order to cause a protest to disperse.

Protests that move quickly are harder to kettle (but are easier to split up as people get left behind). Something important to note is that kettles are used by police to gather intelligence. Police may tell you that you will be allowed to leave if you provide your name and your address, if you give information about other protestors etc. Police can and will lie to you, do not trust them. Never talk to cops. Being trapped in a kettle is stressful. Police may decide to arrest a few of you or all of you. Their goal is to gather information and to demoralize you. They might threaten or harass you. Your goal is to remain calm and to help the people around you remain calm. Remember if nobody talks, everyone walks.
