GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results show a first-of-its-kind personalized vaccine designed to treat glioblastoma, a deadly and aggressive form of brain cancer, is safe AND elicits robust and broad immune responses that appears to INCREASE recurrence-free survival in patients after surgery.

Yo, I am not liking how the r word came rearing back with a vengeance. We had cleared that word out of polite society! It was established, it's an ableist slur that makes you look like the asshole to use. It's everywhere now! And Black people use it too in dialect! I was called it in the psych ward.

Hey just a reminder that Maslow stole the idea of the hierarchy of needs from the Blackfoot people (and his female research partner) and then made it weird and rapey (women can’t be healthy unless we experience a “surrender reflex” when encountering “masculine power”).

And yeah, low risk, AND people tend to put off getting vaccinated if they know it will make them feel like ass for 3-5 days, so if it means people don't postpone their vaccinations, it's definitely worth it: the long term health effects of every additional COVID infection are that bad!

I could write another 71827 post thread on how Canadian institutions get it wrong, the media acts shocked and the incidents are isolated so people fail to connect the dots.

Men commit 97% of sexual assaults and men are statistically more likely to be raped by another man, than falsely accused of rape by a woman. Boys and men who've been sexually assaulted understand that rape is about power, domination and humiliation. They know it's rooted in misogyny. They get it.

I've been working to end sexual violence for 20+ years and I have never, ever, not once, had a male survivor tell me they were offended by my work or felt excluded by my work. The "What about men?!" crowd does not actually care about boys and men who've been sexually assaulted.

Studies dating back to the 80s have found that men are not just “confused” about consent. They just don’t prioritize consent over things like power, domination, and sexual gratification. Men participating in a gang rape know they don’t have the victim’s consent.

In many ways, the only thing boys need to learn are the lessons we already teach girls. They need to learn to be part of a community. And if they understand that, then the lessons on consent and sexual violence come naturally.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.
