People are discussing how Halloween candy is so terrible these days. A reminder that alot of the candy we eat is made with women’s prison labor. Russell Stover’s factory in Kansas busses in 150 women a day via a convict leasing program to staff their candy factory.

I've been a sports fan for a looong time, I've never felt the kind of communal joy the Valks have before. Super special.

I can respect this perspective but I cannot adopt it. If a system provides people of earnest intent and strong convictions no ethical choice, the system is folly, not the convictions.

Then it's not so much a difference of opinion or political strategy but a difference in our ethical convictions. Fair enough.

So if you had to vote between someone who hates all POC, or for someone who hates only POC from certain countries, you'd vote for the latter and your conscience would be clean?

This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.

Oh I see, you're comfortable with her bigotry because it mirrors your own. Fascinating.

If your conscience lets you vote for someone bigoted against your community, it's your vote to cast. But I won't accept that particular brand of humiliation.

I'm saying my moral compass dictates not supporting a bigot. If that washes out electorally to mean another bigot wins then it's the system that's failed, not my moral compass.

I'm saying the cost is unjustifiable either way and voting third party or not at all is an option. People use the cliche of the lesser evil to whitewash the guilt of voting for a bigot but rarely have the spine to engage with the costs they're asking others to bear culturally.

So to your mind the public bigotry incurs no cost on trans people worth acknowledging? Or are you saying it's worth the cost? It has to be one or the other I'm quite excited about which you pick. If it's the latter, are you trans? If not, what do you think gives you the right to say it's worth it?

If you have to be a bigot to win I don't want you to win. If only bigots are running there's no gun to your head making to support one.

I think that's a great way to frame it, personally. Obviously subjective, too. My metric for "literary-ness" is an ambiguous spectrum of to what degree a book respects not only a reader's intelligence but their taste. The measurement varies by reader, to some degree, but it feels useful.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Hey cis people You do not get to use the word “tranny”. Not if someone else uses it. Not if you’re making a joke. Not if you’re being ironic. Not if you’re making fun of someone who said it. It is not your word to use UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
