Many people think that more immigration into Western countries leads to more terrorism, because immigrants from non-Western cultures are more likely to be terrorists. My research finds a very different kind of relationship. Immigrants aren’t committing terrorism in Western Europe. Rather, native citizens appear to be committing terrorism because of their hostility to immigrants.

One can imagine a certain rhythm to the process, as police hoist kit after kit onto the metal shelves, not knowing that they hold in their hands the identity of a serial rapist. Here’s the evidence box from a deaf woman Wilkes assaulted in June 2006. There’s one from a woman he raped in May 2007. The kit from his sixth victim arrived in June 2010. Another a month later. Two more in August 2011. His 10th victim, four months after that. Not until he raped his 11th victim, in January 2012, did the sequence end, because that woman saw Eric Wilkes two days after the assault and called the police, who arrested him. Eleven years, 11 violent rapes—all while Wilkes’s identity was preserved in sealed containers that no one had bothered to open.

The ADF has argued that a transgender person’s mere presence in a funeral home might “disrupt the healing process of grieving families” and that the employer in this case was acting “out of love” for Ms. Stephens by punishing her for being transgender.

Si la raison des viols dans l'église était le fait de la frustration... Pourquoi c'est quasi systématiquement des prêtres qui sont auteurs d'agressions et presque jamais les bonnes sœurs ?

Perhaps this is why one day in New Haven, staring into the semicircle of oak trees in my backyard, I wondered what it would mean to ask random white men how they understood their privilege. I imagined myself — a middle-aged black woman — walking up to strangers and doing so.

“You should be allowed to say no,” Dr. Lalich said when I asked her how to tell if you’re in a healthy group relationship. “To question anyone in the hierarchy including the dominant. You should be allowed to leave when you want, without any rebuke or shunning. You shouldn’t be made to believe that this is the only way to live. You should be able to untie the bonds!”

De plus, comme il n’y a pas de papier, l’urinoir ne peut pas se boucher (comme cela arrive souvent dans les toilettes de festivals).

Zéro intimité et pas possible de s'essuyer donc... Les inconvénients de l'urinoir habituel et... Pas d'avantage ? 🤔

Mais voulez-vous demain qu'un logiciel décide de ce qui est bon pour vous ?

Le logiciel (ici, Tusky) ne décide pas de ce qui est bon pour vous. Le créateur du logiciel décide juste que si tu veux utiliser son logiciel pour discuter avec tes copains nazis ben tu forkes.

C'est ce que tout le monde dit tout le temps pourtant. Si une fonction d'un logiciel te convient pas, c'est libre, t'as qu'à forker.

Ça dit beaucoup de choses sur vous que vous insistiez tous pour forcer la main à quelqu'un qui développe un logiciel libre sur son temps libre alors que vous passez normalement votre temps à dire qu'il faut se sortir les doigts du cul et forker dès que vous voyez une personne être insatisfaite d'une fonctionnalité.

Alors voilà. Fedilab et Tusky sont des logiciels libres. Vous êtes libres de copier et modifier le code source du logiciel selon vos désirs. Alors appliquez votre raisonnement à vous même, sortez vous les doigts du cul et forkez.

Clairement tu n'as pas tout suivi.

Personne n'est allé emmerder fedilab jusqu'à ce que l'auteur retire le blocage de gab de son application. Il l'avait ajouté par peur de Google et retiré quand il a été convaincu que son application risquait pas grand chose. S'écraser devant Google et ensuite utiliser de l'énergie pour activement permettre aux nazis de se connecter, c'est ça le problème avec fedilab.

Tusky ne se fait emmerder que par les fachos puisque les développeureuses ont été très volontaires pour implémenter le Rick rolling des gens qui se connecteraient à gab. Harcèlement sur github, campagne de dénigrement sur le play store et menace d'être flaggé "antifeature" sur fdroid. Il est où le soutien des gens pas nazis contre le harcèlement là ?

C'est d'ailleurs ça qui a forcé fdroid à prendre position. Un défenseur des gabistes (qui est aussi ouvertement transphobe) a demandé à fdroid de taguer Tusky comme n'étant pas libre. Il est aussi aller chouiner chez Stallman pour lui demander de confirmer que la "liberté d'exécution" était trahie. Il est bien passé pour un con quand Stallman lui a répondu que rien n'empêchait les gens de forker et de retirer le blocage et donc que Tusky est toujours libre.

Devant la volonté des nazis de retirer Tusky de fdroid, des gens ont demandé, en réaction à fdroid de flagger fedilab comme permettant la promotion du hate speech. Pas seulement parce que fedilab ne bloque pas gab, mais parce que fedilab a retiré le blocage de gab qui avait été implémenté par peur de Google.

Si les nazis avaient pas fait chier Tusky sur fdroid, personne serait aller faire chier fedilab sur fdroid.

Ultimately, giving feedback is a way for us to participate in the experience with our partner instead of relying on them to magically lead the entire experience on their own.

Capitalism is fundamentally invested in notions of scarcity, encouraging people to feel that we never have enough so that we will act out of greed and hording and focus on accumulation. Indeed, the romance myth is focused on scarcity: There is only one person out there for you!!! You need to find someone to marry before you get too old!!!! The sexual exclusivity rule is focused on scarcity, too: Each person only has a certain amount of attention or attraction or love or interest, and if any of it goes to someone besides their partner their partner must lose out.

In his correspondence with Collin, he relates that he is sad to hear that Collin had engaged to a woman at the time, since he has strong romantic feelings for him. Anderson related his feelings to being "feminine" in nature, or that he had "womanly" sentiments towards Collin. This is around the same time The Little Mermaid is written.

This June, a comic cast of “allies” has emerged to pay tribute to Pride, many at the site of Stonewall itself. Each is more menacing than the last: famous white woman Taylor Swift, serial hair-sniffer Joe Biden, the NSA, and even ICE. Swift and Biden’s public relations cameos at the Stonewall Inn confused the movement with the place that happened to spark an uprising. These lip service homages smear the significance of Stonewall and other acts of insurgency that continue to serve as pillars of trans and queer liberation.

While the denunciation of bigots in this video may be welcome to most, the form of it is profoundly unsettling. The ugliness of these hillbilly fascists is absolute, with no glint of even the Diane Arbus kind of amusement, let alone the John Waters kind, to alleviate the sense of revulsion; it’s not fun or silly, like everything in the rest of the video. There’s no immediate threat of violence or even the slightest interaction with the gross hate-yokels—the fun, beautiful gay people just ignore them effortlessly, as they sunbathe in their sunglasses and adorable togs. Those lowlife can scream all they want! They will forever be entirely beneath the notice of the Beautiful People.

"While I love the fact that LGBTQ+ nightlife is expanding and becoming more welcoming to all of us within our community, lesbian specific spaces have suffered, I think, from this inclusivity," said Story, who is co-creator of the local award-winning podcast “Strange Fruit” on WFPL public radio, where she discusses politics, pop culture and black gay life.

In 2012, Story met her now-wife Missy Jackson at Purrswaytions, where Jackson was performing as her drag king persona, "King Mystikal."

"All inclusive LGBTQ+ bars and clubs now host straight bachelorette parties, and many straight-identified folks feel right at home within queer spaces in a way that they didn’t before," she said.

While most of us are familiar with spin the bottle, there are many other kissing games out there. And while these games might be most popular with kids and teenagers, they can be a lot of fun for adults to play, too. As always, consent is important, so make sure everyone at your party is okay with swapping spit with each other before the game begins — or maybe modify a few rules to allow the kiss-ee to choose to be kissed on the lips, cheek, hand, or other body parts.

It lasted about ten seconds. I was just about to say, “This really hurts,” when, suddenly, it didn’t hurt anymore, and the doctor was snapping off her gloves.

“Was that it?” I said as I felt the speculum come out. The doctor didn’t say anything, but my companion said, “That’s it. You did great.”

“Holy shit,” I said. “That was hands down the best abortion I ever had in my whole fucking life. You’re amazing.”

J’en ai gros ce matin alors voilà une réflexion sur le besoin de se considérer soi même autrement que comme “né comme ça”

Cette théorie de l’absence de choix dans l’identité de genre est calquée sur l’argument de l’absence de choix dans l’orientation sexuelle.
