while you haven't said anything overtly wrong, i'm tired of this particular talking point coming up everytime the LGBTQIA+ community expresses being tired of there being so littile LGBTQIA+ representation within the hollywood system that openly LGBTQIA+ actors can't even get work portraying LGBTQIA+ characters.

so it's clear, it's not your fault that your comment seems like an obvious take. the media outlets that provide commentary on the hollywood system frame it as us whiney gays being unable to discern story from reality. but what we're really saying is we're tired of a system that will take our stories and sell them to us without contributing back to any of our wellbeing except for maybe the writer. you can't tell me no queer actors came for those auditions. have you been to a drama club? queer is assumed to be the default within those spaces, yet to get further in the most visible acting oportunities, you either have to be straight or allow your queerness to be obliterated.

in 2026 you really have to ask an employer what they mean by object oriented programming in the interview. do they mean a methodology of organizing pure functional code into actors and message busses? do they mean imperitive code that's interacted with through generic interfaces as with python? or do they mean javascipt style OOP where you define classes to organize your imperitive code within a functional language without any concern for the generic interfaces this could hypothetically enable?

school funding coming from property tax

EDIT: I fired that off quick while I was in the middle of something and failed to explain how this acts as a system of oppression and white supremacy. Schools in high income neighborhoods have better schools because they have more access to resources. Properties in good school zones have higher property values because families with the money to buy homes in those neighborhoods want their children to receive a good education. This creates a circular feedback loop in which people who already have access to more resources are more likely to receive a high quality education. The students from lower income school zones are not dumber. They are simply being strangled by a system that wants to gate them from achieving academic and financial success.

especially when the purge is EXPLICITY about a hierarchical society pitting the working class against itself to enact the enforcement of the wealth hierarchy on itself

I've seen a weird number of people blaming Microsoft for this today, and an even weirder number of people making fun of people saying this isn't on Microsoft
