I see we're doing the 'only reads a provocative summary and makes a smug comment without actually understanding what's going on' bit again.

This is a major issue in specifically solar energy development, as too many solar panels connected to the system cause production spikes during exceptionally bright days, meaning higher maintenance costs and, in extreme cases, forcing the system to dump that excess power somewhere. This is usually done by paying for companies to run machinery that uses a lot of power at full capacity, such as ovens and furnaces. This is what's meant by 'prices being driven into negative territory'.

On top of it being a huge waste, I can't stress enough that dumping excess power into objects that heat up their environs is precisely what we don't want to be doing, considering that global warming is a major issue that switching over to clean energy sources is meant to combat.

something has gone deeply wrong when "focusing pragmatically on issues you can influence and working to make life better for yourself and your community" is considered an unserious distraction while "endlessly exposing yourself to media about distressing situations you can't control" is considered political engagement

I mean, this is nothing new in such theory-poisoned circles. If you want a depressing show of how our movements have never learned anything and keep falling for the same tricks over and over, look up what happened to the German Communist Party in the 1930s. Just going off the summary on Wikipedia:

And what happened to them when the Nazis took power? Oh yeah, they were outlawed on day one of the administration, with tens of thousands dead by the end of WW2.

But I'm sure it was very worthwhile being the prettiest and most morally pure corpse on the pile.

Thinking about this after I saw the protests

Oh yeah. I truly believe that if liberals are going to organize against Trump, they should completely separate themselves from these people. I’ll repeat what another twitter user said: leftists would rather protest fascism than vote to prevent it from happening in the first place. They’re completely unserious about helping anyone at all. They do nothing but enable Republican victories. Democrats should’ve kicked them to the curb after 2016, and many did. But now? There’s no tolerance for them, for these people who screamed that they refused to help us and will now use our suffering to feel important while they cosplay revolutionary. There’s zero incentive to join them. And I know they weren’t the deciding factor in this election, but they’re a cancer on Democrats (who they hate anyway!)

Yup.

Always the same shit flowing together. Almost like variants of viciously discriminatory ideology that claim to be doing it for the sake of 'liberation' are all the same. Curious.

"Why do you focus on intersexism from trans people so much?"

"Why are you trying to paint trans people as an enemy to intersex people."

"It's not like all trans people are like that, I think you're just finding excuses to hate trans people"

Intersexism as a whole is horrendous, but when it comes from trans people, its so much worse. We are supposed to be allies in the fight for liberation of sex variant people. I want solidarity that we are severely lacking.

It's why I'm so much harder on, and more vocal about trans intersexism than I am about intersexism's general pervasiveness in cishet perisex society. Because I believe trans people have the actual capacity to change and understand us in a way your average cis perisex person doesn't. Posts on tumblr will reach trans people. This activism can and does make allies out of people who were previously ignorant and bigoted.

These posts aren't going to reach your average cishet perisex mom of an intersex kid she believes is disordered; no matter how bad I want them to, that's not who uses tumblr. And even if it could, cis perisex people, especially ones who have been spoon-fed intersexist rhetoric by the medical industry, are hard to sway.

But these posts WILL reach a trans man who thinks he can transition to be intersex, it will reach someone who's told a TERF something like "What about those lucky cis kids who get HRT", it will reach a trans woman who calls herself a hermaphrodite, it will reach a trans person who thinks we want to be called DSD, it will reach a nonbinary fiction writer whose 'intersex rep' is a furry with both genitalia, it will reach trans people who are bigoted against our labels, and many many others. And trans people generally speaking are so much more willing to listen and change than your aforementioned perisex cishet people. We are part of the same community. Sex variant liberation requires solidarity between trans and intersex people. And we cannot have solidarity if half of you fuckers are just as ignorant as Sharon on Facebook who thinks I'm a hermaphrodite.

Bottom line, I make these posts because I want perisex trans people to recognize their biases and CHANGE, and I believe that's a very attainable goal. If the very implication that you, a trans person, could be bigoted, makes you feel attacked, you need to spend time reflecting on why that is.

Me and @divaythfyr have this Forsaken + Blood Elf investigator duo that is somewhere between a 80s-90s detective show and 70s Scooby Doo episode. Anyway, meet my warlock Grobarov and her mage Linturiel, they solve crimes from Quel'thalas to Tirisfal 💚

Constantly torn between "states should have minimal barriers to run for office; let the voters decide" and "it's reasonable to give candidates a shit test of 'are you capable of running an organization that can at least fill out forms correctly'"
