really wild take here but I've had this pet theory of mine that Rowling actually would like to identify as a man (technically already did as Robert Galbraith) but because she is AFAB and has experienced a lot of misogynistic antagonation throughout the years - she can't in good conscious do so as she feels she would be betraying women the world over.
I feel this would explain why she experiences intense transphobia and why she sees transfemmes as "men in disguise" (trauma response from cis men) as well as dismissal of transmascs (if I had to suffer in a patriarchal world, so do you and you're not allowed to opt out by "pretending" to be a man)
could be totally off the mark but I feel it wouod explain a lot 🤷
Surely no conflict of interest from a blog that sells a Bluesky powertool...
Also did the Turkish government hack Bluesky's email systems and send people emails notifying them their accounts were restricted in Turkiey or is this also "Bluesky not cooperating with Erdogan the way other platforms have."?
idk i think our incentive should be to cure diseases with public funding and make people healthy instead of for profit but what do i know
comments on the video really tell you all you need to know about long term usage
yep, Europe really ought to not cave into the demand to buy up more LNG and instead focus on developing their own renewable energy base instead
wtf - the EU imported 15-20b on LNG in 2024 - how does it make any sense to increase LNG imports by 15-20 times while claiming to decarbonize? Or is the plan to just weave the 350B debt and then be left holding the proverbial LNG bag?
And this comes after: "Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič is hoping his U.S. counterparts can settle on a “term sheet” that sets out a framework for talks — when the next round of tariffs takes effect."
These could entail lowering duties, investing in American defense firms, boosting purchases of U.S. liquefied natural gas, or softening some regulations. 1
Soo the EU is going for the classic get fucked in the ass, suck the cum out while you’re belching, burp, belch, and go back for a second helping...
inb4 China fills the consumer gap the US leaves behind, the US both collapses the value of the dollar, fails to revive US manufacturing and the dollar gets replaced by crypto (of which China has massive reserves) as the world’s reserve currency...

You mean the ban defined by the International* (Norwegian) Holocaust Remembrance Alliance? The IHRA that defended Norway's commemoration of the nazi Knut Hamsun? The same IHRA that defines antisemitism as "Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis."?
Though I'm guessing you mean specifically "Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor."
Which I thought I made pretty clear with the parallel between apartheid South Africa and apartheid Israel - just as I believe the colonial state of the US has no right to exist - so I believe that the colonial state of Israel has no right to exist either.
So when I hear people chant "From the river to the sea" - I (and solidarity scholars) don't see that as a call to violence against Jewish people - but as a reclamation of a slogan originally conjured up by Zionists for the equal rights of everyone in the Levant independent of their religion.

Right so you would have upheld and supported the 1982 Internal Security Acts in apartheid South Africa that outlawed chants like Mayibuye iAfrika because you "respect the law"
Thanks for telling on yourself.

mfs in this thread arguing misgendering doesn't matter while assuming everyone on the internet is a man
From said article: "Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly is an unsettling mixture of childish humor and fetishistic sexual innuendo, seemingly only meant to appeal to those who truly love every experience relating to farting."
As ridiculous as the leaked group chat shit is - their assessment of the EU benefiting from US navy power was on point.
Currently EU officials can decry the Trump admin as the literal devil, but they're awfully quiet when the same cabinet uses US might to attack Yemen to restore "freedom of navigation" through the Red Sea. Their politics of death and destruction are only an issue when their enemies don't align..

This^ - as @ToxicWaste@lemm.ee noted - women and men are good at different things so I don't see why we can't require mixed gender teams with equal representation for pretty much all sports.
And if somebody cries "fOrCeD dIvErSiTy!!" then you never really cared about women's participation in sports anyways.
