As I’ve said before: I’ve been to lots of truly-consensual sex parties, and I’ve been to all kinds of different BDSM play parties. This? Ain’t that. I’ve seen them postings in sex workers forums looking for women to attend these events. But in my opinion, they are not safe events for anyone.

that people have to “establish that pregnant people have a right to life” in 2026 is some of the saddest, sickest, dumbest shit I’ve ever heard & should be a real gut check moment for this country that loves to decide who is worthy of basic rights & who isn’t

These 7 men at Cornell drugged & raped a woman for hours, then called their friends to come rape her. 2 men got expelled. 5 had to write letter of apology. 0 faced any consequences. Men throughout the societal ladder are complicit. Women are not safe around men.

The worst thing Trump has done to this country is embolden the worst of us. If you need proof, Black people are being found hanging from trees. We are accelerating backwards at a terrifying rate. Black people do not deserve this and it's up to White people to put a stop to it.
