@owashii@plush.city @artemis@vulpine.club @00dani Owa, be careful with that thread of thought. You do not want to get impostor syndrome over something you do for fun. Relax, treat it as a fun hobby, not a job.

I always have to remind people in my life: "I'm not a liberal; I'm a leftist"

Being nice to black people isn't anti-racism

so, one way i can tell to defuse these things is to look at their claims even if you agree with them, and demand to see evidence

and then actually read the evidence to see if it actually agrees and is itself supported by anything

if it does, and you agree, you get something in your own pocket to use later. if you disagree, then there's something to consider for your own arguments.

if it's unfounded, well, nail in the coffin there

I can't take credit for this. Don't know who made it but damn did I laugh.

transphobia, covid 

Trans and intersex exclusive: Men are more likely to die from Covid-19

Trans and intersex inclusive: People with Y chromosomes are more likely to die from Covid-19.

This is a lot more informative and precise, too.

@yogthos@mastodon.social Gee, I wonder why the liberals are losing the journalism war.... :ms_rofl:

Fedi Meta 

The best part about the wild conspiracy theories slung about by bad actors and their DARVO screeds about how they're the real victims, and that the people protecting themselves from the abuse are the real abusers is that I don't have to put up with or even validate it by arguing it. Because their toxicity got rewarded by a defed.

...and so the fediverse is a noticeably more pleasant place.

don't just live out of spite, live because somewhere out there is someone threatened by your existence and your existence threatens their power ✨
