    i think it’s just that the poster is a trans women and wanted to raise awareness through a meme about a struggle related to her identity

    though i think it’s also worth noting that trans women are being disproportionately targeted due to the unique intersections of oppression faced. (see that one english/british court ruling last year or so that declared trans women as not women, without saying anything about trans men; v-coding; the disproportionate attacks on transgender women of color; the disproportionate attacks on transgender sex workers, most of whom are women, vs cis sex workers)

    though i don’t see any reason why she couldn’t have just said trans people. i doubt she thought about it that deeply really

    it’s a meme, why are you trying so hard to deflect the attention away from trans women?

    why dismiss the unique struggles of trans women in favor of unspecified victims of prejudice, without even considering the root of the problem of systemic transphobia, before proposing a solution that has nothing to do with transphobia?

    why act like this image has influence on who “the nazis know […] to target”? why even mention that?

    why mention being called a nazi when nobody ITT has called you a nazi?

    trans women are being specifically mentioned because it is harder for trans women to find a job, or even get support from family (and therefore cover basic necessities) due to prejudice and systemic discrimination against trans women

    this comment kinda feels like responding “all lives matter” to someone saying black lives matter














  • streaming services satisfy a demand that local libraries don’t: the ability to interact with your library across all of your devices, wherever you are. i think having a media server is better than a local library for people who want to own their music anywhere.

    i use slskd, beets, and navidrome on my homeserver. it’s the best setup i’ve ever had. soulseek + navidrome offers a seemless method to listen to artists who aren’t on streaming platforms, while retaining the convenience which keeps people stuck in streaming subscriptions (though this wasn’t convenient to set up, lol. certainly worth it, however, and near-maintenance-less).

    i even made my friend an account on the server and downloaded everything she wanted.

    i know this guy has some separate use cases from me, but he seems to have separate use cases from most people. especially those who don’t want to buy, mod, and carry an extra device around, and succumb to all the caviats that the device has.
