bassbb.bsky.social @bassbb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026An important thing to remember is that it's rarely about you as an individual. Most people in the world don't know you. It's about millennia of men being horrific that makes it hard to give every man the benefit of the doubt. It couldn't be less personal tbh. 070

bassbb.bsky.social @bassbb.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I remember I went to protests against the MSU board and president once the Larry Nassar investigation was finally taken up by the police. There were maybe 50 of us there, at a school of 50k. A survivor's mom hugged me and thanked me. I felt so ashamed. 50 of us was so little. 011
bassbb.bsky.social @bassbb.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I have a strong hunch that the AfD is astro-turfing online support. An English language account I follow posted about the AfD and only cited reputable news sources on them. They got FIVE THOUSAND comments on the video, mostly from pro-AfD "accounts." The AfD has 25-ish % support in Germany. Be fr. 100

bassbb.bsky.social @bassbb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026This even is a great example of how a lot of harassment and abuse gets excused as "preference" and people being into "different things."

bassbb.bsky.social @bassbb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Another horrific case of why democratic university governance shouldn't only be symbolic.
