funny to me that last year taylor lorenz was privately trying to suggest i was being funded by peter thiel after we got into an argument over her shitty takes, and now she’s literally running cover for him saying being evil is good. quite a journey she’s on.
Taylor Lorenz: "Listening to this whole interview and these comments in context you see he is actually making a pretty nuanced point. You can criticize him all u want but taking clips out of context to manufacture outrage is so lame— critique what he actually said!"

Beshear is a great example of doing what's right even when you can't win. KY's senate has been controlled by Rs for 27 years, usually maintaining more than 80% of the voting share, and is unlikely to flip in my lifetime. but Beshear comes out and opposes them every chance he gets.

the horrific cornell gang rape case has me thinking about emma sulkowicz who alleged she was raped as a student at columbia in 2014 and never got any justice. it has me thinking about the physical and mental weight young women are forced to carry while their safety is subsumed by male potential.

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see

If your impulse is to point out that policies aimed at eradicating trans people might also harm cisgender people, please ask yourself why. Second, the answer is no. They will not. Sometimes they do by accident, that gets "fixed", and trans people still suffer.

I think there have been important ways in which anti-trans policies have been used to set outrageous precedents that the Trump administration expanded later, using the lack of outrage on behalf of trans people to push the authoritarian envelope. However Jess is also completely right about this.
