@ladywallflower be the porn you want to see in the world :)

I will end this with a commentary on Luddism: it's been reframed as reactionary technophobia because the option of unmaking a system or technology that's found to be anethetical to our wellbeing is a tool they don't want you to have in the box. When you cite post-9/11 political bullshit as being unnecessary and not a foundational part of our society, you are engaging in Luddism. As with that, so should you with a McDonald's staffed by glorified iPads that don't take cash.

And tech industry shitheads KNOW this. Otherwise they'd be going in on schemes to make e-wallets something that poor people can use more easily, and taking a predatory skim off it. That'd be anethetical to their goals of turning cities into antiseptic social projects where undesirables just sort of conveniently disappear. It's hostile economic architecture.

A human with a cash register is always preferable because that way of doing things isn't bottlenecked through the need to have a bank account with a card or an activated, charged cell phone. Cashless, automated commerce is about cutting the poorest strata of society out, and instituting a relatively-high baseline of social legitimacy to even order off the dollar menu.

NOT to be all hypocritical and up in other people's identity business but i may or may not be slightly over "eww i hate being attracted to guys" bisexual girl culture

@myconidiosyncrasy Yeah, ditto. Like, I actually got super stoked when I realised I'm attracted to boys and masc-y folk and I've enjoyed it!

But more to the point, the general sentiment of "men are bad" will always catch a lot of people that aren't cis, like it's why a lot of nonbinary ppl get kicked out queer spaces for looking like men, or when ppl assume trans men to be as privileged and damaging and cis men, and why TERFs are terrified of trans women.

hearing that kids use a flat palm instead of the pinky and thumb to mimic being on the phone has aged me 70 years

Can I get a HOH YEAH voice: can I get a UWU (selfies, EC)
