realizing more and more every day that, despite how scary it may looks, who dares wins more often than not

i am not a lawyer though, but i did read the law in question

https://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=49.44.140

also, turns out washington state has a similar emplouee "intellectual property" assignment law to california

as in, if you are working on your own thing and you never use anything provided by the company and on your own time, and it's not related to their work... you own it

Pinning the above for a couple reasons:

1) He replied & made it clear he stands by his white supremacist politics
2) The way many of our followers who interact with lots of our posts including ones that are quite obviously not meant for them while ignoring brazen white condescension & hostility like this needs to be put on display

If anyone *doesn't understand* why this user's behavior is white supremacist, feel free to ask. We will explain.

If anyone *disagrees*, feel free to say that as well. Clarity is helpful.

Tired of the fake ass "support" & liberalism. Not gonna act like ignoring it is okay, at least not among nonblacks who claim to be pro-Black.

Black fedi users say this in general terms regularly & it's boosted all the time, but we have to go out of our way to write long ass comments like this about individuals who exemplify the kind of behavior we're talking about & **maybe** there is a response from **some** people. Maybe.

Happy fucking Black History Month.

it'd be much appreciated as I don't profit off of my work, but I do need to eat and pay bills

I'd extend this to follows to: following/RTing black people doesn't make you anti-racist, either.

Hey there, I know I asked for helps only weeks ago but my situation has gotten worse (I got my unemployment benefits an entire week late) and now I’m in a REALLY tight spot. I’ve paid my rent but I really don’t have much left for the rest of this months’ expense.

Please if you can, I would really appreciate if you sent me some money. Any amount helps. If not, please boost this post, because that helps too

Thanks in advance!!

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

hmm

one thing that memetic hazards seem to have in common is claims that seem legit by aesthetic, but are short on solid evidence to back that interpretation

and yes i know i do that too

@FreyaManibrandr True! Self acceptance is hard

Perpetually negative people are exhausting

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.

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

I know that might sound super flaccid after everything I was saying, but shit like Amazing Atheist is that same crap, it's just as lazy and inactive.

"#Drumpf" style resistance isn't just lazy, it's self-assuring. THAT'S what I'm pointing to with easy answers. People are good at building up self-satisfaction as ideologies.

Religion I stand by, though. It's not all mega-churches. People ignore spirituality amongst oppressed groups a lot.
