so a while back someone posted a bunch of black panther/black power art that I didn't save but would love to find again. One of the images was specifically of people kicking out several monopoly doods (one of whom was black). I wanna say some of the other were some ABCs cards or something like that. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

This came to mind :ussr:

yo like 15 pages back but kind of the whole basis behind the concepts that this image is trying to make fun of, at least in regards of how people talk about them, is that 'sex' refers to the physical body and 'gender' refers to mental/social ideas about the sexes, and so if they did their research the first should say "People can be born as the wrong sex" while the second remains unchanged. But then maybe the person who made this would realize there is no contradiction.

how can there be such a thing as the wrong sex if gender isn't predetermined and therefore presumably doesn't align with any one sex?

I'm not sure I follow. People feel a physical mismatch with their sex, so they change it. The gender stuff that surrounds this is the result of a society's gender norms regarding one's sex. It's pretty straight forward.

not just that - you can be assigned a socially constructed gender at birth which does not match your own internal perception of your gender

the idea that girls like dresses, tea parties, and baking is no more necessarily true than the idea that boys like snakes, monster trucks, and getting into fights. but what if i like wearing dresses AND monster trucks? in that case i have been assigned an incorrect gender from a small menu of gender roles acceptable to the society i live in, because either wearing a dress or liking monster trucks is somehow 'wrong'

where the image gets confused is the whole "at birth" part, thinking that gender is something naturally inborn in a person instead of something which is projected on us by others from before the time we are aware of it. five year olds are generally treated as one gender or the other long before they can fully articulate their own self-perception of gender, leading in some cases to mismatch. it can be difficult to imagine a spectrum outside of 'boys' and 'girls' since that is our cultural preference, and it can also be difficult to accept that fundamental masculinity or femininity doesn't really exist except in broad, vague strokes. you can exhibit socially transgressive preferences both within the safe bounds of your gender as well as beyond the bounds of your gender, and where that boundary lies is entirely up to the society in which you live

In India, you can get a Facebook-only data plan for $2.50 a year (the cheapest full data plans cost about $10 a year.) In the Philippines, Facebook-only plans cost a fifth as much as data plans. In Ghana, telecom operator Tigo once sold a Facebook phone. It looked like a Blackberry with a big blue “F” as the central button. Even in America, Sprint offers a data plan (paywall) solely for access to Facebook and Twitter.

People were worried that without net neutrality, we'd get a balkanized internet. It already happened.

The Inhumans are a subspecies of humanity who were genetically modified by an alien race called the Kree to have super powers. Neither Captain Marvel or Black Panther are members of the Inhumans.

First of all, lol at "paradise passage". Second, it's a real bummer that green walls don't work terribly well, since they look so drat cool; they're probably a pain in rear end to maintain and need a lot of upkeep.

The building is the Paradise Park Children's Centre, a nursery and youth club for disadvantaged local kids. They scrapped the wall after it died because it's stupid to waste thousands of pounds on a novelty flowerbed.

London is very good at wasting money on pointless decorative shite, though!



Here is the garden bridge, an unjustifiable waste of £60,000,000 of public money that will provide no right-of-way over the river, only allow people on in groups of four or fewer for fear of protesters, block cyclists from entering, and close before nightfall. Meanwhile, social housing across the city is being demolished, new developments are no longer required to include "affordable" accommodation, and when such flats are included residents are forced to use different entrances.

It's still the best city in the world, but there's an uphill fight at the moment to make sure that it doesn't become an ugly bejeweled toybox for the rich.
