I saw the term "toxic intersectionality" yesterday and think we should make it a real thing. Intersectionality as a concept isn't inherently toxic. Quite the opposite, it is a very valuable concept to help us understand each other and major issues. The toxic nature comes with how it is misused and abused by a handful of social media influencers and by extension social media in general. That would be like when people play the "the person with the most intersectionality categories is the only one whose opinion/position is valid" or when it is used to decide who has "enough intersectional bona fides" to be in the "in group".
Interesting. I just yesterday heard a youtuber moan that the term 'toxic masculinity' has become toxic in itself. He was saying that it was originally a psychological term referring to some male prison inmates who identified masculinity with violence and so on. But it's reached the point where some people use it to mean 'anything a man does that I don't approve of'.
I've heard it called "herd mentality"...which never did apply to me, thank goodness. I question everything.

Opinion | I’m a conservative who has long railed against life-saving government vaccine mandates and CIA microburst satellite signals speaking to me through my dental fillings, but Elon Musk’s new brain implants seem totally safe because he’s in the private sector.

When Democrats repeat accurate talking points, it comes across as elitist and condescending. When Republicans repeat inaccurate talking points, it comes across as folksy and appealing.

ok that makes sense.

How do we.... communicate to Newsie that we want the news... but not the damn racist/bigots/nazis? Because that seems like something NONE of us will find appealing!

@CrowquillGal You could contact @TheAdmin, but multiple people have reported the Newsmax account already. They know what they're doing, they just need to decide if they're going to commit to being the far right instance.

The admin has moved his own accounts off of the instance, which suggests he might be preparing for long term defederation.

Today I begin my campaign to force Target to stop carrying offensive “slim” and “athletic” fit clothing by walking around the store shirtless and body-slamming shorter people.

I'm back to blogging about and being focused on my Goal Accountability process for daily measuring of my performance on five specific criteria that should be helpful in my longevity goals. The 30 Day Health Reboot built on that which happened to coincide mostly with the 5th of 13 4-week phases over the year. I got some of my best grades in a long time. For Phase 6 I'm upping the ante a little bit to try to tune things in even more. #longevity #GoalAccountability #HealthSpan #fitness #health

On one hand, this has completely ruined my childhood. On the other, at least no real cookies were harmed in the making of Sesame Street.
