Journalism no longer has any integrity. They've thrown it away.

"Social justice" = "giving people things they didn't earn".

The fact that a news site can put "mediocre whites" in the headline of an article with zero repercussions, but refusing to capitalize the "b" in black goes against the standard journalist style guide shows that systemic racism does, in fact, exist. It's just not aimed at the races they claim it is.

Just in case you might need a reminder that the elected officials don't care about you remember this statement from nancy here, this is from before the became the lame duck speaker of the house here.

She said it because she knew it and she was holding it hostage so people would vote blue and then when they didn't she didn't bring it up on the floor of congress even though she still had the majority and they could have pushed it through while lame ducks.

Right up till January 2023 when the new congress took office they could have done this, but they didn't, because this way they can point at the other guy and pretend to care about you while stabbing you in the back.

you got played if you think this is the fault of the SCOUTS

Also, to be clear censorship is bad, THX1138 made it patently clear that censorship is antithetical to humanity but we're literally talking about whoever is currently developing the skullgirls game showing enough integrity to change sketchy artwork in the current day. Grandstanding.

“Sketchy”

There it is.

This isn’t about how big or small the censorship is. This is because you dislike what was there and you’re happy it was censored.

Stop lying to me and yourself. Just admit you’ll clap for the censorship of things you dislike, right up until it comes for the things you enjoy.

You can try and trivialize it all you want. You can say people are grandstanding all you want. In reality, you just want people to stop pushing back against the censorship YOU approve of and you’ll say whatever you need to for them to stop.

A friend points me to this remarkable article in the French centre-right news magazine L’Express, on Germany’s increasingly unwelcome soft-power efforts to undermine French energy policy:

Their names are Rosa Luxemburg and Heinrich Böll. These German political foundations don’t make the headlines, but they’re deliberately undermining the French nuclear industry according to a recent report by the School of Economic Warfare. Their weapons? Drafting documents according to an anti-nuclear narrative, guiding the elites through training courses … visiting and meeting foreign politicians, forming alliances with specific NGOs and environmentalist parties …
This influence peddling benefits from substantial financial resources. According to the report, the German Bundestag's overall allocation to all political foundations is constantly increasing: from €295 million in 2000, to over €466 million in 2014, and finally €690 million by 2023! For report author Christian Harbulot, the message is clear: Behind all the rhetoric about cooperation between EU member states, Germany is doing everything in its power to prevent French industry from benefiting from cheap energy and thus gaining a competitive advantage.
These comments echo those of former EDF [Électricité de France] head Henri Proglio. “The thirty-year German obsession has been the disintegration of EDF. They've succeeded,” he said last December during a hearing as part of the parliamentary enquiry into French loss of energy independence. In a recent report, L’Express also revealed German efforts across Europe to exclude nuclear power from all mechanisms of financial support. And with foundations like Heinrich Böll, which has offices in Paris, the project of undermining [French nuclear power generation] is also being carried out on French soil ...

You can find an English version of the report by the French School of Economic Warfare here.

One of the fucking funniest takes online is that only women have multiple preferences when it comes to dating dudes.

Men are all shallow monsters and only date feminine women covered in layers of make-up. And everything that goes against the narrative is a lie.

I see. That explains all the posts on tumblr that bodyshame men. Like height and weight.

Or individual experiences of men that have been rejected by women for stupid reasons.

Or male actors that are bodyshamed for putting on a few pounds when not acting.

It's so idiotic.

Fine then we shall call trans women just women and cis women the others since apparently using an adjective offends you greatly.

anamericangirl answered:

Ok but why do you need to differentiate between them and use different terms at all if they’re exactly the same?

arizonaconservativegal

Big fan of the way anon wants to take away our status as women. Why do trans women have more of a right to the concept of womanhood than we do?

anamericangirl

Because men are better women than we are, apparently.

arizonaconservativegal

Men get to still be men. We're just uterus-havers.

I grow our own vegetables. Many hybrid and heirloom varieties are bred for flavor rather than for commercial appeal and travel. There are entire species on the allotment that you can’t easily buy in stores because of this - like salsify, a root vegetable that tastes of fish and shellfish. Our neighbours happily take it to make vegan latkes of alarming similarity to fishcakes. You cannot sell it in stores because - despite looking like a white parsnip - it turns brown when you pick it if you scrape/bruise/cut the white root in any way, or damage the delicate little hairs, for some reason, it BLEEDS RED and is very upsetting to look at.

There are whole classes of foods like this. Foods that just don’t ship well or look good on supermarket shelves. Forbidden fruits. Vegetables that bleed and taste like meat. Sorry about this

This website is one of my fav places to find interesting heirloom stuff! I ordered a bunch of seeds to try growing next year I’m really excited about! 

https://www.rareseeds.com/

itsdetachable

I’ve gotten and plants seeds from that site, Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, and they grow fantastically well for me.

I’m really looking forward to next season

Highly recommend Native Seed/Search and Truelove. Baker Creek has an amazingly large catalog and has some very cool and rare stuff, but they are also Mennonites and as you might expect, they do have terrible politics as listed above, although they do some decent work preserving heirloom seeds from threatened communities.

An organization that does really interesting work preserving seed from threatened communities (and larger companies like baker creek often piggyback off of some of the work done by orgs like this and NS/S) is the Experimental Farm Network. They are very explicit about their (left-leaning) political views and you don’t have to worry about them being Problematic. They have lots of interesting and rare varieties and species you really cannot find anywhere else.

If you are looking for a wider selection of heirloom seed varieties, these two companies are very good resources as well, and carry many of the same things as Baker Creek. Afaik they are not expressly political beyond their general mission to preserve heirloom seeds (although southern exposure does a good job of preserving some very traditional african-American heirlooms from the Southeast US in particular).

Omg I hadn’t heard of the Experimental Farm Network and I am delighted! I am also completely thrilled to see people other than me remember that Baker Creek is a bunch of lying fash. They claimed they did not know about Cliven Bundy AFTER VISITING HIM IN JAIL. He was literally in jail for his anti-social bullshit when they first talked to him about the watermelons he and his mentor stole from Indigenous people and made their name on. They also take seeds from Indigenous communities globally and profit from them without sharing those profits with the communities they took the seeds from.

…I am blocked by them on Twitter after publicizing the Cliven Bundy crap, full disclosure, I have an actual feud with these people and their unethical practices.

tkingfisher

I was trying to get signal in the goddamn Himalayas to argue with them about Bundy. *grumble*

I also second Native Seed/SEARCH as a great org doing great work. Some of their stuff is so desert-adapted it won’t grow for me, but I’ve had great luck with some of their bean varieties.

un-solids-your-snake

I can vouch for Southern Seed Exchange!
