Part of what makes this scene so wonderful is that it’s gay and it’s folkloric and it’s gay and it’s immigration and it’s gay and it’s American and it’s gay and it’s brown and it’s gay and it’s aspiration and sacrifice and family and gay and

“I know family therapy is ‘important,’ but so is betraying my kid’s trust so my Internet friends can be proud of me.” They already even had therapists that weren’t very affirming and it didn’t help their cause. It’s so sad and pointless.

I mean that’s what I think when I hear frozen meals, but it looks like some of the snark is still focusing on leftovers.
I’m sorry. There’s a lot of fancy talk over there to justify being a jerk.

It does seem more cost and time effective to give more families the resources they need than to go through the process of splitting them up and rehousing kids.

Lots of people found your post who have big feelings but none of them seem to say yes he has other qualifications. Weird how that works.

You really have no proof it’s unconditional love or that it’s the most important love that will be received in someone’s life. It’s hard to help your family hide your own body.

I’m not sure why you’d assume a renter who misses a month is a deadbeat but a landlord who doesn’t have a month saved up is not also a deadbeat.

Homo = same. Hetero = different. Bisexual = attraction to both people the same gender as you and not the same gender as you. That’s the two parts of the bi, not necessarily two genders.

It sounds like you know it isn’t actually more confusing and just want to be right when you’re wrong about how rare your preferred method is.

*whispers* They put that in the resume because if they didn’t, and you hired them, you’d act like a raging jerk and disrespect them every chance you got and working for you would be a nightmare, thanks for playing.
@CaelanConrad
Gotta love when they explain how they totally do understand misgendering, that they dislike it, and that they know how to handle it, but it’s more important to them to seethe about trans people.
@Digitab7
@KAINONAUT
I mean it’s definitely “heavy handed” to me, but also, the amount of silly people who don’t seem to get they’re who this is a caricature of suggests it can’t be too heavy handed.
I just take it as part of the genre that this is gonna get hammered home. I mean, Saturday morning.

Well, as we all know, the sexual organs of a skeleton are intended for reproduction. If you can’t sex a skeleton you can’t do your part for the lich-general’s undead army and that’s a sin and a crime.

@ErinInTheMorn
Yep. People who aren’t trans get misgendered all the time, accidentally or intentionally as an insult. But the people who think it could never happen to them mostly just wanna think they’re too (whatever) because (whatever) makes them somehow more special/valuable.
@KRutlidge
A sad number of them start by saying it’s about empathy for victims, but change that pretty quickly when asked about how they’d treat, for example, a trans rape victim, or how the legal system could better handle things, or such.

It sounds like you haven’t or won’t think this through. Let’s say someone can’t get out of bed. Okay. Well, for their health, they’ll probably need to be moved every four hours or so. They can’t work most jobs, so they can’t afford a carer. So, friend, partner, relative.

I dunno, the people who have told me my whole life I deserve to die because of the sex I have would disagree, as would the people who made pride events as a backlash to that.

For a lot of those people, “I was fine and supportive” means “I was not actively attempting to harm you,” not “I was actively trying to prevent harm.” It’s classic “give me a cookie for not destroying you”

I think some of the time they just don’t want to grapple with not knowing how to stop their oppressors, and it’s easier to be snarky or blame someone else.

Don’t forget the gays and lesbians that also just, yanno, have had kids.
I wish they would just let their relationships be special and stop trying to compete. We get it! Hetero folk are people too.

Work has to happen sometime or there’s nowhere to live. One person usually can’t work full time AND go home multiple times a day to do meal prep or serving. Even with all family hands on deck it can be exhausting. Why are you so eager to be a jerk about this?

I remember hearing about a combo my father and mother had when I was little. “But he doesn’t like what I like.” “He’s your son. Have you tried doing anything he likes?”

They do, though. Like, this isn’t hypothetical, there’s extensively documented connections between neonazi activity and groups that advocate against trans people. Besides, they don’t have to agree on *much* because their goals are often to harm others, which is enough.
@_celia_bedelia_
You’re literally advocating for women to advocate for more genuine and sincere healthcare, but they’re too hung up on the anti-trans meme from weeks ago to just… get on with life.

It’s nice when we give someone a chance and they actually seem to have been sincere. I’m happy work is going well on that front for you!

Bisexuality doesn’t even require “only two genders.” He’s gay, and insisting otherwise doesn’t do anything about it. Lots of gay people happily date or fuck trans people, and it’s fine.

Anti-woke people keep saying they want the best people for the job. If the best person for the job also happens to be an amputee, well, the best person for the job also happens to be an amputee. It’s nothing to complain about.

Okay. You can also, as a reservist or guard, deploy multiple times and still not get free college. It’s all very weird and more complicated than a sales pitch.

I wish more people would at least look into a little copyright history before they smugly mention photographs because there are decades of case history about whether and how to apply copyright to photographs and it’s an immediate indicator they just want to not care about artists
@TheTitanOfLA
Also the answer is just yes. Like yes, there are, but it’s crazy how happy lgbtq+ people don’t spend their time explaining their happiness to people who openly don’t tolerate them, lol.
@theBrianaMills
Wow, this one really brought out the “you think I should care about others? go die” people. Always amazing examples of reason, those folk.
@AriDrennen
Blocking and muting a lot of people here. It’s weird how when you glance at the timelines of many of these “it’s not anti-trans, it’s pro-woman!” people, they’re belittling women and obsessing over strangers’ genitals and making snide comments about gay people. Real “sincere.”

This was the episode that made me welcome Amy and Rory. I just got more from their story as companions who are with their friend than as an awkward love triangle.
@CaelanConrad
Most of my interactions with "LGB Alliance" is them saying horrible stuff out of nowhere as if it's a requirement to be lesbian, gay, or bisexual. How could they speak for me when they can't even get through a conversation without being awful?
@TheLunarTears
@tyleroakley
Much of the stuff you see is already at events that aren’t for all ages. But, that said, if you’re complaining about clothing, you’re not really complaining about sex or nudity. There have always been kinksters at pride and if you don’t want to explain that, that’s your call.
@LauraJedeed
@tk59327166
The stuff I saw people doing at Mardi Gras (even with kids around) when I was just walking through was more sexually explicit than things I’ve seen happen at pride events, where I hang out with the kinksters.
It’s all very silly.
@ImRyanBlue
Playing hardcore/honour/survival mode has taught me a lot about just letting it go, lol. Like ah. I just lost all my progress. Deep breath. Get some water. Okay, let’s try this again.
@IndiaWilloughby
It seems it might be really sad/hard to try and talk to someone whose work you have admired, only for them to be utterly unable to stop screaming about this stuff.
@TheLunarTears
@tyleroakley
Again, much of that activity is not taking place where children are allowed. Now, I have defo seen straight people fucking at mardis gras, but whatever.
You can take kids to kid-specific stuff if you want. Really! It’s okay!

What are you responding to, exactly? Just someone expressing her opinion? That doesn’t mean your feelings were not considered. Did you read it?

Okay, then go do it. Just know there are consequences. Whatever.

I love these. I used to feel ways about how the witch and the moon were jerks about it. But nowadays I see it as Gaiman’s thing where the gods are shitty but humans can be amazing to one another. So these mean a lot to me.

Almost gotta wonder why they didn’t ask about these things at their interview before accepting the job. Of course they didn’t call you… you spent your first week ignoring policy, shouted at people, then pulled a no show.

Emojis can be fun but he replied to harassment he was receiving, and she immediately began calling him a liar, then began threatening his family, and demanding evidence even other assault survivors said was messed up to do.
@LazStorm

It’s amazing you think “no, we harassed him for other reasons that don’t even have to do with what this person said” makes anyone look good or better.
@KatyMontgomerie
Well, she does like bragging about how she just checks her net worth when people say things she doesn’t like. So it’s not like she is unaware of her uncommon wealth.
@Samwitch11
I've found it to be a helpful prefix. Helped me understand the experience of trans folk I met a bit more. A lot of the time people need it to be a slur because they need to imagine trans people hate them in order to justify their own fear and anger.

I introduced a friend to Doctor Who and they pointed out that Martha literally saves the Doctor’s life in every one of her episodes. Which was pretty wild to have pointed out to me.

This is the thing for me. One of these locals most likely. Hopefully they’ve grown out of it, but like, who dares? (My bet is Sam, but I have no evidence.)

It’s funny because I have plenty of friends who don’t enjoy pissing on people or having assault fantasies. And it’s fine? Like, it’s not mandatory.

There’s so much literature about the connections between war and gardening too. And it’s not necessarily that, but I like Matthea Harvey’s “in defense of our overgrown garden” for some of that kind of tension.

I think I had to step out of the theater for a moment during this scene? I’d just gotten back from Afghanistan. There’s a lot one can say about Tony’s arc, but it’s still weird when people hold this up as being a good and cool moment.
@ChaosPixieMagic
Once when I told someone I’d want their partner’s blessing she was like “why because he owns me?” and it’s like no, I just want us to make sure that we are all on the same page. Because sometimes people are dishonest or misunderstand things.
