The transphobic 'groomers' talking point that is popular amongst hateful people right now reminds me very much of the 'Black men are coming to take your women and children' line ran by racists back in the 50s and 60s.
There is this idea in whiteness that people who are not white, cis, and straight have a fascination with influencing their population. This thought is just a projection because white people have brutally perfected these manipulation methods over centuries.
From what I can see, it's yet another example of white people being deathly afraid that we will enact the horrors that they've acted on us.
And a driving force in the culture of whiteness is the fear of consequences for their collective actions.
@pastelpunkbandit @charlag you're both wrong, email and gotosocial are both absolutely wretched and dreadful
Accessible masto onboarding
Is there an accessible masto onboarding/wiki already in existence for new users, especially less techy ones? And if not, would anyone like to help me make one? I'm pretty OK at writing training guides and would love to be able to share a resource like this with new users when they log in to the mastodon platform so they can get used to things, esp etiquette things that we are learning over time and wtf is going on. Most folks on earth won't be able to participate rn
"(...) 58% of the rapeseed – and 9% of the sunflower oil – consumed in Europe between 2015 and 2019 was burned in cars and trucks, even though their climate impacts may be even worse than fossil fuels. Supermarkets have had to ration vegetable oils and prices are soaring,” said Maik Marahrens from the campaign group Transport & Environment, which carried out the research. “At the same time, we are burning thousands of tons of sunflower and rapeseed oil in our cars daily. In a time of scarcity we must prioritise food over fuel.”
The famed efficiency of the free market is yet again on display for everyone to marvel at its perfection, I see.
Neurodivergent. Chaotic AF. Annoying. Can't shut up. Pessimist. Gender is two goblins in a trenchcoat, each with a hyperfixation, one with depression.

If you are into authoritarianism the door into the outer space is right behind me.
