The Quuuuuill you know and love from slrpnk.net, but now on ararchist nexus, too
@[email protected] , when your instance is online again let’s have a discussion about what resources i can make available to you that will center your community’s needs without someone like me colonizing the discussion.
(unless i have the wrong ladybutterfly, then my apologies)
i know this isn’t my place as a cis white dude, but can anarchist.nexus be a resource for a women’s space? i’ve been looking for gaps in the threadiverse we could nurture and foster. my #1 concern lately with the makeup of the hegemony of the threadiverse lately has been:
my commitment to you as a cis white dude admin would be to stay the fuck out of the way of moderators looking to host a women’s issues community here, within reason. obviously it wouldn’t be okay to break instance rules against bigotry and such, but i can offer my commitment to shutting my mouth and knowing my role
edit: also, i bet @[email protected] and @[email protected] from my second original home instance would be happy to have a women’s issues community hosted on slrpnk.net, i’m still figuring out what my new relationship and responsibility to the threadiverse is now, but i think just like how there’s more than one world news community, there could be more than one women’s issues community so that people have a preferred and fallback space on days like today. the one thing i don’t want to diminish in this comment is the incredible work people like @[email protected] have done in creating a welcoming space on the threadiverse for marginalized people. i just don’t want that to be work that is only done alone. we should be collaborative towards a better, freer, world
at least 2/3 of the global northern empires have fallen for the dictator’s trap
structural violence is more of the idea that all of the wealth that has been accumulated throughout the millenia has been done first with the sword, then with the lance, then with the gun, and of lately, with the bomb. if we ceased all military action of all kinds tomorrow, the intrinsic status quo would be one reflective of a racist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic class based hierarchy. in order to challenge that status quo we can’t tolerate anyone who prevents us from challenging these underlying inequitable hegemonies by disrupting the solidarity of the working people.
for real! this should be about how we are on the precipice of letting people with debilitating conditions enjoy their lives and spend time with people they care about instead of immediately saying “just think of the implications for shareholder value!”
toootally get that. the 5 brands i listed in that long post are the only ones i feel comfortable recommending for a reason
i don’t have anything specific on them. i’ve bought plenty of altra’s so clearly i’m not above buying wolverine
all of the major athletic shoe brands are up to shady shit because they profit from slave labor in the global south.
the only shoe companies that i feel genuinely comfortably recommending:
they were both ranking nazi party members
Adidas was founded in the 1920s in Germany and remained in operation throughout the 1930s and 40s if that helps clue you in
i know one person who’s interesting in hosting some queer focused fediverse infrastructure, however they wants no part of the threadiverse since they considers reddit and reddit-alikes to be intrinsically prone to toxicity
