I love Mississippi Market. A great place and I feel good about their donation systems. More expensive for some things but totally worth it overall

Really anything that shows or hints that any part of their “natural” order is something created. Gender is a big one but anything

They knew that their attacks on gay people weren’t as popular as they once were so they are taking the exact same tactics and language and moving it towards Trans people. It both predictable and sad at the same time

Queer folk always get swept up with porn, cishet only see us as a “kink” and assume our existence is entirely sexual.

This is the whole point of these porn bans is to remove queer people from the internet. The porn cover just allows it to happen. So whenever you see anything about porn bans think queer ban first and then some porn removal that comes right back

I know they moved things to legacy and stopped selling it. I think it was just a subsection about Goblinoids that was removed but I can’t remember to be honest. I was checking out from the DndBeyond system at that point. I still don’t trust any digital only media.

The removed a bunch of lore and a few stat blocks when monsters of the multiverse was released. They were pretty minor and I can’t remember all of it. I never had the digital content and it’s more about principal

This is why you need physical books. You can’t downgrade or stop me from using my books. After the removed content from Volos I was done. I still use it for filtering but have my physical books and my pirated PDFs. It’s a real shame that they don’t come bundled

I recommend people read “feminism is for everyone” by bell hooks. It’s wonderful and a simple read

They are local and we’re more supportive. Not everyone did but a lot did at once. I don’t shop at Walmart and I doubt they will listen. Target is headquartered here and lots of local people work there. Easier to get attention

I have a random NPC generator tables I made. I have a 1d8 for gender (1 is androgynous female and 8 is androgynous Male, the rest are male and female). I tend to have certain races more androgynous and gender bending than others. I also have height, clothes, hair, eyes and body. Similar tables with some personality traits.

For race I have a 1d100 table for my major regions. The 1d100 let’s me get small percentages of rarer species and allows me to create groups. So for the current area 70% are from the region with 60% being the top three races and the remaining 10% being atypical. The remaining 30% are broken down by nearby regions and foreigners. This lets me customize each section and roll on subsections of the table if I have to.

I always race, mostly roll gender and everything else is optional. The gender, appearance, and personality tables are universal and I have made few race tables for the campaign. They are useful tools to have created and to use

Same. Costco is always packed and not as convenient to get to and way less fun to shop at.

We have been trying to do smaller, local and independent places as well but you still need the basics from somewhere

Same. My wife had a large discussion at her work about what stores they are moving to. So its happening without an organized effort. But I won’t shop there in Feburary.

Just recently though. They used to be support of equity, inclusion and queer rights before it became super popular. I think I read they supported TC Pride for 15 years before this year. So they are exactly Walmart on the Rainbow Washing bandwagon.

I am planning on using Costco as my Target replacement. We will have to go a few more stores now but should be worth it.

I agree. I am disappointed since they were suppose to be Amazon replacement. But time to stop buying from them. A progressive boycott will cost a lot more than a conservative one.

I get why its difficult to understand at both because the systems in place force a scarcity mindset where everything is “either or” and its never “both”. Once you start thinking in an abundance mindset and see that the restrictions are artificial a whole world of differences appear. Once the veil is lifted for aspect everything comes clearer. You can see this in why the Patriarchy fights all of the movements because they know to they are the same behind the scenes. Its obvious once you start studying the history of feminism, queer rights and civil rights that the same people had similar ideas and were inspired by similar ideas and methods. But it takes some time to look through what you are told is a “natural system”. So natural that it needs constant propaganda to support it

I agree. No talking about whole subsets of populations.

This is definitely needed.

I would like to point on that these men are purposely trying to many people as possible to play their game since they know they can win. So recruiting men to think and act like them is their own point. Its helpful to note that all these “successful” people are all benefiting from the system that exists today that we are not. They need us more than we need them

I do think there can be more done to help Men within feminist spheres. I think one of the hard parts from a woman’s perspective is “Not all Men” men taking over debates in female circles and “Man-o-sphere” bros taking over any man and man discussion. Its good to have communities to discuss these things

I think this is by design, the owners knew feminism wouldn’t change their system of oppression much, so they let that one go through and crushed socialism in the process.

This was definitely the strategy and it wasn’t an acceptance of feminism but a much limited feminist rights. These were limited to the rights to vote and work from other rich white families (i.e. from their own wives and daughters.) . From the earliest days feminism included socialistic elements with many of same people interacting in much in the same way civil right organization had socialist elements. The powers at be simple found the easiest path and did it. Moreover, they tried to highlight the most extreme man hating elements to isolate men from joining the cause.
