there's so many things to criticize TERFs for - harassment, transphobia, homophobia, racism, harmful gender norms, partnership with right-wing hate groups, the list goes on. ignoring all of these very real, very violent problems and instead saying "lol terfs r uglee" completely misses the entire point of criticizing TERF ideology.

and yeah, i do understand that offhand comments are a lot easier than writing out essays, but if OP is trying to make a change in their institution/HR they need to have some meaning put into it.

You do know that by looking through her shit to find that, you basically killed any credibility an accusation could have, right? You had no right to do that, TERF or not.

i hate terfs as much as the next guy but i feel like hr would care more about someone going through someone else's shit as opposed to stickers in the bathroom

you sound like the type of person terfs make up/use to vindicate their agendas. by doing this you've probably done them a favor in solidifying their beliefs. ggs anon, hope the upcoming call from hr goes well

"I do wish the people who got hundreds of eggs were a little more responsible about the market, but there's usually one person who's dumb about it."
Probably about me, so I'll just go ahead and apologize here. It's not my intent to crash the market, but unfortunately, circumstances got in the way.

I had about 3k-ish noc eggs this year and normally I offload them slowly over the course of May-September, but this year some stuff happened IRL that left me with crippling depression and the inability to function even with basic stuff, so by the time October hit, I still had so many eggs to offload that it averaged out to like ~27 per day to sell them all before NotN rolled around. I've been selling 40-60 per day since, all listed at once roughly once every day or two, and generally around the lowest price if not directly the lowest. I've gone through 800+ eggs and prices have only dropped by about 6-8g, which honestly isn't too bad, and I figured most people had already sold by this point in the year anyway, but I am genuinely sorry if my last-minute offloading has impacted your investments in any way. It really wasn't the intention, and normally I do sell responsibly, but like I said; life got in the way real hard this year. ><

(Honestly with it still being 260+, that's still 40-60+ profit per egg depending on what price you bought at, so it's good enough for me, but I also realize "worth it" RoI levels vary per user, so. >< Hopefully it's not too much below what you were looking for with yours.)

nayrt

god how funny would it be if OP was a terf larping about this whole situation in order to either get sympathy from internet randos or bait us into saying some shit like "u should poison the terf for putting up stickers"

hilarious and fairly convincing that the only stuff OP has shared about this situation is that 1) HR is on the terfs side 2) the anti-terf is a bad coworker and 3) the terf is soooo sexie hot and attractive

going through coworkers personal belongings because you suspect one of them might be a terf? tell me you're under 25 without telling me you're under 25.

you're being grossly immature. there are legal/moral ways to scare your job into giving a shit that someone is putting up transphobic stickers that make you uncomfortable.

why not just wait until next year to sell? that's what I do with whatever eggs I still have by now

Selling now for small profits still enables me to buy more in December than if I didn't sell them at all, which in turn allows me to have more art commission money for when I eventually have the mental energy to get comms again. It's not a huge profit, but it's still more than nothing. Though honestly I'm not sure I really will manage to sell them all by this point.

Lesbian who very casually reclaims the word dyke here and agreed with this 100%, someone saying "Don't call me the d-slur" isn't a personal attack to me or other people in my boat.

I wasn't gonna continue, but I just wanted to say I'm so sorry that's been your experience. I've met a lot of really lovely people who are just personally uncomfortable with the word and I really hope you meet nicer people in the future. For what it's worth from one stranger on the internet, you aren't a terrible person for using the word for yourself and I wish you all the best in finding a loving community!

Idk where you grew up but 'gay' and 'lesbian' have a major and protracted history as an insult and slur across the US and UK. Gay in particular was used for decades to mean bad, and lesbian was an outright dangerous thing to be called in a female school communities. Where I grew up, queer wasn't even on the radar as a slur. It was and is the academic term used for LGBTQ+ by LGBTQ+, among other things.

Re: not trying to stir anything

Queer studies originated as the academic term in the 1990s (coined by a lesbian), as did 'we're here, we're queer, get used to it'. It was not exclusively a slur pre-2000s - it was reclaimed long before the latest generation of LGBTQ. Some of the earliest evidence we have of it being a preferred personal term is from the 1930s, and as a community term from the 1980s. That's ~40 years.

Weirdly enough I’ve had the opposite running into “You ARE queer whether you like it or not :)” types whenever I ask not to be called that. Like yes im trans and hence LGBTQ+ but I don’t want to be called queer. “Whether you like it or not” yeah that’s the point, they’ll respect my pronouns but not the fact that I don’t want that one word used on me? Then they start going on spiels about wanting to eat my kneecaps and sending DMs like QUEER QUEER QUEER QUEER QUEER.

It’s kind of pathetic

i think the carousel theme is a bit out of place but itd be a lot weirder if they called it "horse outfits" or something like that. the pieces are nice imo, i don't think id use a full set on a dragon but i do like the little filigree-like decorations.

Re: Carousel horse apparel

I think the bridles are super weird; dragons are more or less human analogues here, so something that not only makes them more animal, but specifically and animal fitted to be used by a human is odd. What's riding them???

I can go "ooh pretty" and not think about the lore implications of dragon dressup dolls, but some part of me is still bothered.

I mean, yeah. Kink and that dragon specifically certainly crossed my mind, but I don't like outright saying "this makes me think of a sex thing" about things that clearly weren't intended that way lol.

Rest in salt bondage dragon, may your drama forever be remembered.
