The year is 20 bite me @jhlee@scholar.social

on twitter i made a joke about how cis people should tell The Rest Of Us they're cis before we start dating and i lost 2 followers

a friend of mine who spends a LOT of his time picking up plastic waste from parks, rivers, streets, etc. had a good idea. He decided to photograph the non biodegradable waste and tag companies on social media with it. So if he finds a plastic Subway cup, he tells Subway about it with the message "is this yours?" I dig this because it's not something that blames the consumer. It puts the blame where it belongs: on the producer.

The final question on Exam 1 in my physical science class is always "Name an actual living scientist. The scientist can't be fictional, dead, or your professor." (For 0 points)

I was glad to see that many of my students wrote their own names.

Saw this in a Solarpunk group and someone said it could be the seed to start an epic saga. I present it here as an offering to the writers: please take it and make a Solarpunk masterpiece.

journalists are real-time historians

agree, disagree, or qualify?

get you a man like this

1. Being called an anti-queer slur isn't "just another idea." It's an act of harm in itself. You wouldn't get it, I know, but it is.

2. And as a straight person, you are entirely unequipped to estimate the level of threat that is being posed by someone who uses a slur against us. Sometimes when someone says a word like that, they are saying it in order to make the point that they *can* hurt us with impunity.

The thing about 'not all men' is it's something men bark at people who are lashing out at the group that's hurting them. Trying to separate themselves and remove any affiliation.

All it does is tell those people to shut up while doing nothing to change the structures that allow toxic masculinity to continue that original victimisation. Step in and tell fellow men to stop, that it's not ok, instead of telling people, especially women, you're not like the others so how dare we get angry about it.

Blocking people without even interacting with them has kept me out of some big time bullshit, never mind actually doing it as a consequence for choosing to interact with me in certain ways. You don't owe anyone access to you and you don't have to solve their problems for them.
