It had to be Edinburgh, that place has the most fascinating architecture..

they’re now entitled to a contract that guarantees adherence to labour laws.

Sounds like they're "entitled" to have to find a boss to work for in order to benefit from this law, unless the government provides maternity pay for freelancers?

Don't get me wrong, giving money directly to those who need it most is a good start, but in isolation it will not go far to resolve the issue - people need housing, a support network, empathetic and accessible healthcare, some fucking stability and security.

Also - knowing how bad, by design, our benefits and homelessness "support" systems are, how neoliberal our government is, and how much worse they're already aiming to make them, I am extremely sceptical of this being applied without those it's supposed to help having to jump through a million impossible hoops, and somehow, some rich person ending up with a multi million pound contract for something or other.

Here's hoping it provides at least some real relief to a few people while it lasts, but yeah, I'm not pinning much long term hope on this.

Wow, I was not expecting this tone policing bullshit from you.

But no - what is abrasive is saying "humanity sucks" in the face of marginalised people, who have no hand in our oppression, pointing out that oppression. Not calling out someone doing this.

The patriarchy sucks. Misogyny sucks. Capitalism sucks. Humanity, which includes all of the people oppressed by those and other structures created by and for the benefit of a tiny minority of people, who band together and fight for each other and our rights and survival, shouldn't be thrown under the bus because someone doesn't want to, for whatever reason, diferenciate humanity and social constructs imposed on it for profit and control.

Fuck this noise, it's like blaming climate change on "humanity" which puts billionaires who create as much CO2 in 90 minutes as the rest of us do in a lifetime, and, for example, Indigenous people who were genocided and their sustainable ways almost destroyed and continuously overlooked, on the same level of responsability.

All this is is the same old bullshit of blame shifting done by the privileged to deflect it from themselves.

What is abrasive is "all lives matter"-ing marginalised people.

Yesterday I managed to do some candle running despite the bug and with much frustration, only to completely blank today and automatically click to forge the candles I got, which didn't register and are probably now lost. 😭😭😭😭

Also since the visual part of the bug stops when you run down your chevrons, I've started the day on grey candle, so there really isn't much point running around because it's going to take forever to get a single candle.

Knowing TGC I won't hold my breath, but damn, by the time they fix this they're going to owe us a lot of compensation.

In other words you see oppression, and the people fighting back against their oppression as equally shit.

Classy.

Yeah, because "all lives matter"-ing worked so well the first time around.. 🙄

I agree, but wouldn't hold my breath lol

Though I don't doubt at least a couple have already commented elsewhere on this thread, and are trying to hide their anti-feminism (aka misogyny) behind the thin veil of pretending it excludes them, and that we must refocus thousands of years of feminist struggle on to them and call it "egalitarianism" otherwise they have no reason to join our fight for equality (which they conveniently ignore means equality for everyone, which is why they need to make up excuses to reject it, because, going back to the meme I posted and why they downvote it - they don't want equality, they want to hold on to superiority at all costs, and their fragile egos don't like having that mirror held up to them).

(edit to add: and even if we give in and centre them and do call it egalitarianism, they won't actually want to fight with us to bring down the patriarchy, they'll just keep shifting the goalposts to make it more and more about freeing their poor souls from the imaginary oppression of feminism) .

Yeah, it was the least potato version I could find lol definitely well loved..

Reminds me of
