/c/café daily chat thread for 17 August 2023
(self.cafe)
Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
Not invisible but not that obvious perhaps? I used to bring my dogs to this vet run by Malays. They love my dogs, but got some complaints about having dogs in the clinic. We have seen some moderate ones who would pet our dogs, just that we feel bad that the clinic staff had to deal with those Karens.
That is a great example. I guess it didn't help if they feel like there's no one else in their corner, like dog owners stopping to use their business because the fascists were loud 😕 ETA: especially since those dogs and their owners have every right to be there, and the fact the vet wanted them to also use their services despite the stereotype that Muslims can't touch dogs in any situation so in their own small way they're living their life and de facto resisting. But no one's there.
Yeah, we know there are moderate ones, but at times it's hard because the fascists are loud.
