The fact that most European companies treat their non-European employees like shit- despite the fact that Western Europeans enjoy the highest level of workers' rights in the world- just because they can get away with it in the United States or whatever is proof why regulations are needed.
European workers are only treated better than their American counterparts because there are laws protecting them, not because European corporations are so much more humanitarian than American companies. Never forget that under capitalism companies will exploit you for all you're worth and all they can legally get away with.
#post inspired by my partner working as a contractor at IKEA and being treated like absolute shit with no benefits or a permeant position#while her European counterparts got amazing benefits and were always talking about their many vacations#also my mom worked at a German-owned company where the employees were treated just as bad as your average American worker#COMPANIES WANT TO EXPLOIT YOU!!! WE NEED LAWS TO PROTECT US!!!#fuck capitalism#capitalism#leftism#workers rights#labor rights

Everytime I see discourse about kink or nudity at pride I get reminded of the time I went to pride a few years ago with my mother and my sibling- who was 17 at the time and is somewhere on the ace spectrum- and about halfway through, the march went under a gatehouse. Some inhabitants were sitting in their open windows watching the parade. Right before we crossed under them, one of them decided to just... take her shirt off. She wasn't wearing a bra. And you know what happened? People whooped and cheered, and then kept walking. That's it. And there were kids around!! They didn't care. My sibling didn't care. My mother, a cisgender heterosexual woman in her 50s, did not care.
This stuff stops being such a big deal when you go offline. It was basically the same amount of boob you'd see in any perfume ad. No one was like 'what about the children?' And if you didn't wanna see it and looked down, no one would've called you a puritanical prude for that. And it helps to remind myself of that everytime I see kink at pride discourse getting rehashed because at actual pride, people don't care.
#pride#kink discourse#lgbtqia#lgbtq#kink at pride#something DID make my mom uncomfortable later. and it was a bunch of gay guys in front of us making homophobic jokes at each other#she went 'i know they're gay so it's technically hamless but i just don't think it's right'#so it's not like she's some kind of radical liberated queer activist or anything she's just your average liberal parent#and she did not care about this! at all!#to be clear discomfort with sex in an amatonormative society is perfectly fine and normal#'disgust has no ethical weight' goes both for what triggered the disgust response and for the person having the disgust response#and i think i also want to say to those people who don't want to be labeled 'puritans' but can't help the discomfort#i've found people are generally also a lot more gracious about THAT irl#if they aren't being told 'leave' but 'let's make sure you can ignore this and have a good time'#most people who aren't assholes will be receptive to that#i think maybe queer people could stand to learn from disabled people and the way they deal with conflicting access needs#for example allowing support animals excludes people with allergies#you can't get around that by declaring either of these groups unwelcome you have to find a balance#and try to help as many people as you can while compromising

I saw you are Israeli with an asexual flag icon. I know you it's not your job to educate me and have no obligation, but if you don't mind, could I ask what your experience of views towards asexuality in Israel are? I'm an American asexual with Israeli family I'm just getting to know since we were in different countries and weren't really in contact until recently. I'm wondering how asexuality is viewed there and what to expect about social attitudes towards it?
honestly I got no clue, the only people who really know I'm ace are my queer friends (who are already educated from western media on what lgbtq is), and my mom.
my mom is all "don't label yourself because you're putting yourself in a box and blocking yourself to new experiences, you're you and that's what matters (also asexuality isn't a thing you're just childish)", I don't know if her views are an accurate example of what the average Israeli thinks, because I'm pretty sure she's somewhere under the NB and bi umbrellas and just doesn't feel the need to use labels, but she's the only "negative" experience I had with coming out as ace, other people probably wouldn't care about your lack of sex life.
also my dad is a whole other story but I gave up on explaining to him what queerness is, he tries to support at least, in a way of "I have no idea what this is and I don't really like it, but it's your life and I can't control what you do with it, I'm gonna give my opinion sometimes (aka scoff and say it's bullshit) but I'm not gonna force you to do anything". which is better than nothing! I can't force him to understand what non binary means or why I want top surgery (he's against all cosmetical surgeries not just gender), and he can't force me to be Normal™, win win ☺️.
#asks#israel#queer israelis#queer#lgbtq#again my personal experiences are not an example of the entire country#my parents are weirdly unique#my dad has a gay brother and he and my mom thought my grandma to not get him disowned#and then my dad got disowned for a different reason#(so like my grandma is a regular bitch not a homophobic bitch)#I know accepting cishet people and I know queerphobic lgbtq people#but the average person isn't gonna care about your asexuality and there's not a lot of reason to tell others anyways#on average people here are more accepting than Americans (who aren't already part of the queer community)#or at least more oblivious so they weren't indoctrinated into hating queer people#also the more time passes the more I start to see gender like my mom XD

i need more irrelevant details about the darren-dating-leilah-and-sera-living-with-them situation, because, while the whole wanted terrorrists thing is ofc very sad and stressful for them, it is also absolutely hilarious. like, imagine you just found out that your ex-school nurse, a grumpy, eternally tired man who you honestly thought would die single, is dating your (canonically) hot kind older sister, who you hadn't seen in years because she ran away from your abusive parents. also, she and him both sorta work for a terrorrist organization now. the same organization that stole your ability. your sister actively helped to develop the drug that disabled you. her solution to the problem of your ability loss is to also join the terrorrist organization. the terrorrists backstab you and disable your best friend. you decide to betray the organization, but then you're declared a wanted terrorrist by the government so you hide in your sister's apartment. that she shares with your ex-school nurse. before he quit, you spent more time around this man than around any of your actual teachers. then the government busts your future brother-in-law's door down and you have to go on the run. with your sister and her boyfriend.
do leilah and darren do a lot of couple-y things? does sera see them kiss and immediately wishes for the sweet release of death or at least some fresh air, only to realise she is stuck inside with these two for the foreseeable future? is it like the covid lockdown but worse?? at least covid never shot you on sight if you ever left the house on a grocery run.
#those last two lines are not to understate the severity of covid#but i think we can pretty safely say that being wanted by your fascist gov is worse than the average lockdown experience#for something you were blackmailed into doing no less#crazy how leilah achieved the exact same result w sera that orrin always tries w their other victims#and leilah frames it as 'sisterly love' and 'just work ur way up so we can get ur ability back for good'#but it achieves the same end result: a high-tier loyally working for orrin#also forget 'i slept w ur mom' darren can pull the 'i slept w ur sister' card to end any argument#the question is: does he?#does sera ever sass him and he goes 'do u wanna know in which places in this house i've slept w ur sis'#honestly itd be a little ooc for him but it would be nightmare fuel for sera and considering his ability...#uno#unordinary#unordinary webtoon#seraphina#unordinary seraphina#unordinary darren#unordinary leilah

Your story - It all started when...
Born in the city of [redacted] during one of its harshest winters, you came into the world, your mother barely surviving the challenging childbirth. Your family's position in the city was the only reason why your mother had made it, receiving the best medical treatment available - a privilege she would have been denied otherwise, a fate all too normal for others of your race. The beneficial standing of your family came from your father's role as a personal advisor to the ruling Lord - an unusual responsibility for a Thao'Raq living under Human governance. With the years passing, your father's loyalty, expertise in politics, and knowledge of the country fostered a strong bond between him and the Lord, just as the one before - a bond that almost deserved the name friendship, as it was built on respect and trust. So your story begins, with a happy little family in a less happy world. As your parents' only child, you already held a special place in their heart, but little did others know that there was more to you than meets the eye - a secret only shared between your parents. One not even you were aware of at that point.
Growing up in a city that would typically despise your kind, you faced both high expectations and heavy responsibilities, some of which you might not have fully comprehended yet. Your childhood was marked by stark contrasts, a world of black and white with little room for shades of gray. Your parents, deeply loving you, endeavored to strike a delicate balance - shielding you from danger while granting you the ultimate freedom to explore, grow, and expand your mind. They knew that knowledge and openness were essential for your mental and emotional growth. Thus, you found yourself in situations that other children your age had never faced, even if they were Human. Your father would take you with him whenever possible, introducing you to the world he navigated, visiting the Lord's court, attending diplomatic events. He tried filling your nights with enchanting bedtime stories, igniting your imagination and curiosity, whilst teaching you about the history of the world. Meanwhile, during the day, your mother playfully helped you develop your first understanding of nature and life, explaining to you the purpose of the plants she cultivated in her garden behind your house. Hidden from prying eyes, she secretely started teaching you how to spar, even when you could barely hold your wooden sword in your tiny hands. In the safety of your privileged life, you embraced the joys of discovery and learning, fully aware of the love and support that surrounded you. Little did you know that the peaceful facade of your life would soon be tested, as destiny had other plans for you.
Before the path spreads before you, you‘ll be able to decide these things…
Show the first facette of your soul:
- Are you obedient? A dreamer? A stubborn one? Or something else?
What kind of impression do you make on others?
- do you make friends, your first enemies or go unnoticed?
Where do your interests lie?
- physical hobbies, the beauty of nature, the fascination over people around you, are you seeking knowledge or is it something else?
But there‘s more…
+ your personailty will not be set in stone and you can change your ways, but people will remember your actions.
+ physical „souvenirs“ you collected in your childhood might influence the story.
+ there’s risk of developing phobias.
+ you will encounter animals, of which some will have an unusual interest in you.
+ who are you?

Kinda gets me when people age them down in AUs and stuff because to me those characters wouldn't be half as interesting if Chilchuck, Senshi and Mithrun were the tallman equivalent of in their twenties
#just something about having a lot of history you know#like. chills is divorced or thereabouts. senshi spent like 30 years living in dungeon wilderness. mithrun knows kabru's mom#none of this would be possible if they were 20-somethings#dungeon meshi spoilers#dungeon meshi manga spoilers#somewhat i guess#like. yeah kabru and laios and falin (and marci for an elf) are really young BUT have a lot of life exp#but like. the fact that so much happened to them while they are so young is TRAUMA. its BAD#meanwhile chilchuck had like. a pretty average life for a halffoot his age. maybe even successful from a professional standpoint#senshi didnt have an average life but had the time to accumulate an amount of knowledge no 20something could have#and of course mithruns whole life story is like. slowed down because hes an elf#but even then i think its really important to show that it might take several years to start recuperating from a traumatic event#like its what makes his character such an interesting commentary on disability and depression#when you're 25 bouncing back is easier. when you're 40? 50? showing that theres hope#even when you've lost your whole youth to your pain... thats a whole other thing#sorry i started writing serious commentary in the tags#chills#captain mithrun#senshi#even in senshis character up to a point. he spent more years out of society than in it#and YET! even he manages to find a place. somewhat#like. they are all here to show that life goes on even after horrible or simply sad shit happens to you#they are survivors!!!! thats important

every time i see someone equate being quirkless to being disabled i lose 70 braincells
#what yhe fuck are you talking about#not having a quirk does not disable someone in the bnha universe from doing normal everyday shit you dumbass#everyone has a different quirk there is no way for everyday life to be built around one specific type of quirk that would make someone who#doesn't have that quirk unable to get through life#“quirklessness is basically being disabled” kiss my fucking ass actually as someone who has chronic pain#bnha#mha#hope the person who made me angry about this subject has an alt acc where they see this bc i blocked them#fuck you btw if you see this 🫶#what do y'all think DIS ABLED means. dis. abled. it means you're unABLE to do certain things easily or at all.#it inhibits your ability to do things.#no. not being able to become a hero doesn't count. the average bnha citizen WITH a quirk can't become a hero.#and if we're talking about quirkless people#what about people who have “weak” quirks? what about izuku's mom? she can only pull small objects towards her.#are they also “basically disabled” to you?#you can't equate quirklessness with being disabled it doesn't fucking work STOP#ESPECIALLY SINCE PEOPLE CAN STILL BE DISABLED IN THE BNHA UNIVERSE
