Being a "leftie" is when you spend upwards of half a decade exclusively publishing material about how the tiny minority of trans people have ruined <insert of="" study="" topic="">, or that not being allowed to be openly bigoted at <institution> is denying your free speech.</institution></insert>
RΓ³isΓn π³οΈβ§οΈ (@roisin.bsky.social):
How do these people manage to fit so much time for thinking about trans people into their life when they hate thinking about it? I can't even fit that much time for reflecting on the topic into my own life and I am Trans ffs
ark of the - skyybeans (@skyblu.bsky.social):
What else are they going to think about in the UK?
I miss the queen
Brexit was good actually
I hate trans people

This is a thing in England

Hey now, b-word made people aren't constrained by national borders. I've seen what American chains consider "extra mega spicy hot" and it's like a medium Nandos chicken
Rev. Jesus "H" Christ, KSC (@reverendjesus.com):
Americans come in two varieties:
"This sour cream is too spicy"
and
"I put Billy Bob's Butt-Blastin' Scorpion Pepper Sauce on my cornflakes or I can't taste anything"
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I have been both of these people in just the past month
ark of the - skyybeans (@skyblu.bsky.social):
Is this normal for you? Obviously I only have the me to work with but I feel like most people don't swing that wildly
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I get cravings. I've drank table bottles of hotsauce before because of the cravings. I think it was yesterday I got a craving for ghost pepper sauce. 45 minutes for the pain to subside to just mild irritation
ark of the - skyybeans (@skyblu.bsky.social):
Interesting. Humans are fascinatingly varied in your experiences

Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):
The zoomer Democratic Party influencers are now getting in on the neoliberal push towards open acceptance of fascist policy and social violence in an effort to try and stave off the reality that Newsoms career and what he represents within the party is dead. The Democratic Party is in a death dive.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
"The Republicans won!"
Nah, son. The Democratic party lost. There's a difference, and if someone whose career is premised on expertly navigating a first-past-the-post zerosum electoral / political system doesn't understand that - they, too, have lost
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
"The Republicans have a formula for winning!"
Nah. They have a bunch of formulas for making feckless, aimless, powerchasing ghouls lose and fold and become ringwraiths

I realise I am meant to have more trenchant analysis than this but I'm so tired of this fricking nonsense. A man who looks like Wario that acts like Mario is telling you that his chatbot that burns billions of dollars is god. You're a lunatic for believing him.

Oh, wait, it's just for trans women? Oof, wish I was trans sometimes, but alas, as cis as they come. :(

darn, wishing you were trans. i wish there was a word for that :/
Terminally Online Joe (@joe2024.bsky.social):
Nah, I ain't an egg, if that's what you're insinuating.
Also, eh, don't really feel like turning into a woman-shaped person.
Don't think that'll give me gender euphoria as the kids these days say.
Katie Tightkitty, Editor-In-Chief (@katie.bzky.team):
wishing that you were trans is a type of dysphoria
SpazMantis (@ogruddawg.bsky.social):
So are there like... screening cowtools regarding gender dysphoria, noncomformance, etc? I'm curious how those feelings are assessed.
Lots of people have thought about what being somewhere else on the gender spectrum looks like, but where does that curiosity transition into desire (pun intended)?
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I know that in the prior revision of the DSM, DSM-IV, there was a threshold something like "does this dysphoria interfere with [work|social|religion|education|etc]"
For me it was "I can't stand seeing myself in the mirror nor touching my face nor even looking at my arms"

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Because they accepted the cognitive bias of the Hasty Generalisation / Ecological Inference Fallacy, they ascribe the systemic faults that abusers exploit, to some other fault - an external evil, not their fault, not their responsibility.
You can't reason people out of that if they don't want to.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
So, to sum up:
Embracing the Hasty Generalisation in any way is a bad choice, which affects other attitudes & decisions; Protecting the victims through rule of law & institutions is more important than "Political Party Y are all Not Like Us" witchhunts, and normalising those is bad.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I'm not saying people should stop criticising Trumpist / right wing political society for accepting, celebrating, normalising, and enabling pederast creeps & for exploiting sexual anxiety / protection of the family dynamics. Just do it the right way, not their lawless way.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Thesis up-front: "All X target demographic are also Y scapegoat demographic" is at root the Ecological Inference Fallacy at best, a Hasty Generalisation at worst, and is the kind of intellectual GIGO-algorithm that once you accept or normalise it in one demographic, you accept it for any demographic
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The bigoted right wing, at root, rely on popular acceptance of the Hasty Generalisation / EIF in order for their politics to work.
So when embraces e.g "All pitbulls are babykillers", or "All Catholic priests are pederasts", or "all LGBTQ are groomers", that person is susceptible to the others
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
This fallacious posthoc justification way of thinking allows them to carry on their lives believing horrible things while also believing that they are right and are in the majority and that the people who think and live differently are in the minority and wicked, without cognitive dissonance
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
This also allows them to reach further, into such areas as "we counted X number of votes in this county, we can then infer that the Y uncounted votes break down consistently with what's already been counted, no need to count them",
Which is β¦ bad β¦
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
This particular mode of intellectual bankruptcy, the EIF, is core and endemic to their theory of knowledge, and we know that people become radicalised by accepting this mode of thought.
So it is irresponsible to normalise it β it provides oxygen of amplification for it β to accept it anywhere.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
This is also why the corollary ("β¦ once this point has been reached, further productive discussion is impossible.") to Godwin's Law is true β because for ~25 years of the existence of the Internet, "You're a Nazi" was a derailing, hyperbolic Hasty Generalisation.
β¦ was
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The other reason why Democratic politicians and the press aren't pushing LibertarianCon Theory is because there is an actual, documented, ethical way to deal with "This person victimises children sexually", and that's to indict, try, and convict the person while
Protecting Victims
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Moral Panics (and LibertarianCon Theory is a Moral Panic) about the sexual exploitation of children, especially when they're EIFs / Hasty Generalisations, materially harm the victims, inavoidably.
They divert resources from investigations, from rescues, from efforts to repair their lives. For witchhunts.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
One of the things that White Identity Extremists & right wing media manipulator groups did on Reddit was set up "Reddit hosts child s*x exploitation groups and we're doing exposΓ©s on them" subreddits, which served many purposes, but worst of all amplified the abuse of the children.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
They kept abusers abreast of where to go and who to follow to find CSAM / CSEM, which also interfered with law enforcement efforts, and also provided abusers with ways for them to inject themselves into the witchhunts, to portray themselves as rescuers.
Obviously β unacceptable.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
If American society reaches the point at which people who believed in and upheld the Rule of Law & the proper institutions and processes for helping victims of child s*x abuse, instead turn to vigilantism β
At that point, I would like to be in Europe, eating one bowl of rice once a day, thanks.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
It's clear that vast swaths of Musk / Trump's base of support handwave away the s*x abuse scandals that crop up regularly. They don't think of it as "the political system I believe in normalises child s*x exploitation". They have a whole set of cognitive adaptations that let them hold their noses.

So the talking point here is, of course, "Why is domestic beef more expensive now, after the tariffs" "because beef feedstock isn't grown domestically"
What the Smut now? (@smut.one):
And there is a shit-ton of Alfalfa grown in California that is shipped to China/Saudi for feedstock?

R*peseed, which is what canola oil is produced from, is something the US is a net importer of.
Most of our domestic production of r*peseed isn't for human consumption, but instead as dairy feed and biodiesel feedstock. Because it's not low-acid.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Canola is used almost everywhere. It's a staple neutral oil.
And we don't make it ourselves.
Which means it's about to become $$$
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
It also means that whatever feedstock goes into cattle (the source of beef tallow) is going to go up, which means the price of beef tallow is going to go up.

And this also happened... Hope everyone can find a way to grow their own food and make their own things

This is progressive leader for the Democrats? Sacrificing (scapegoating) vulnerable groups is now progressive. This is just more fascist bootlicking. He deleted it of course. What a bigoted coward.
