My controversial opinion is that Epstein was murdered but rather than killing him directly the Justice Department deliberately placed him in conditions that would lead him to kill himself then allowed him to do so.

And even then all of those theologies can basically be condensed down to: the ancient Jews just didn’t understand their own religion, Jesus and YHWH are two distinct gods the later of which is evil, and God is in fact an asshole but he’s always trying to be less of an asshole.

It is possible to build a sophisticated theology around the fact that the Christian God is a synthesis of like four different gods from three different religions (El, Yahweh, Ahura Mazda, The Platonic Demiurge,) But the average Christian very much has not done that

There is an answer but it’s I admit not a particularly compelling one in and of itself: the god of the Bible is in favt several different deities that were gradually combined into one singular deity as Judism transitioned from Polytheism, to Henotheism, to strict Monotheism.

That’s fair: it also doesn’t help that these stories have been largely coopted by a religion that that has imposed itself upon much of the world through ball and blade.

I get that but it feels a bit like that one ProZD skit making fun of Cinemasins. Like yeah I guess it is kinda silly but also like missing the forest for the trees to such an extent that your criticizing a feature of the narrstive as if it’s a flaw. youtu.be/z5qLgL-E7uY?...

Its because people want to continue to engage with his work without having to confront the guilt or discomfort that comes from knowing Jacob Geller is a rapist who built a career as a public figure by concealing his history of sexual violence from his audience, peers, and collaborators.

And I’m saying this contradiction is central to the character of the Abrahamic Religions and how they’ve developed. That God not only cares about but favors the lowly and insignificant is a reccuring theme in these stories of Abrahamic Religions.

In many of the stories of the Bible our heroes are underdogs who overcome adversity through cunning: Jacob is the second son, David is a shepherd boy, Esther is an orphan, etc. etc. A consistent theme in these stories is that God favors the lowly over the high and through them acts.

You joke but the fact that Israel—the kingdom of God’s chosen people—was at most a minor local power surrounded by much larger empires and regional powers is something the authors of the Bible were keenly aware of and key to the development of the Abrahamic Faiths.

For clarification: Jacob Geller attended the University of North Carolina not Cornell and was not one of the Cornell 57 who partook in the abuse of Jane Doe. Jacob’s survivor was his ex-girlfriend, whom he raped while she was unconscious in 2016.

Say what you will about Leon Gary Plauché and Marianne Bachmeier but at the very least it can be said they weren't cowards. They killed those who'd victimized them and their loved ones and they accepted the consequences for doing so.

I firmly believe that the proponents of Capital Punishment are to a one: sadists who want to indulge their worst most savage impulses are too cowardly to own those impulses or accept the consequences of acting on those impulses.

This new Sherrod Brown ad debunks a anti trans ad while tying the Republican senate candidate to Jeffrey Epstein. THIS is how you fight back against anti trans ads.

Being messy in public is good: it forces people to confront things they’d rather just ignore.

I have no idea how to *say* this any more. It was all public. Marina was very clear. Some of us really screamed about it, were forced to coach one another through being retraumatized as those screams got their mixed reception. There were so many tears.

Are you ever going to acknowledge you praised the sexual virility of a Nazi rapist then ran away to xitter for two weeks xitter because you were too much of a weenie to show your face here?

People can change but that doesn't mean they will choose to change; and sometimes the only thing to be done is to take that choice away from them and ensure they will never be able to reoffend.

My scathing hot take on "Restorative Justice" is that some crimes really do require something resembling a punitive for of justice because by the very nature of those crimes there is nothing the perpetrator of those crimes can do to make their victims whole again.

The anniversary of terrorist attacks is actually EXACTLY when we should talk about the material conditions that turn people into terrorists. Terrorists aren't born. They are made by the conditions of the world they inhabit. Happy, free, well cared for people don't become terrorists.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back

One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

Arienne Childrey @ari4ohio.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus. The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not value party approval over true, defiant advocacy. Full text below. 👇

Part 1 of an open letter of resignation by Arienne Childrey, stepping down as Vice Chair and member of the Ohio Democratic Party (ODP) Pride Caucus. She states that party leadership treats the caucus as a recruitment and sales team rather than a representative body. She cites an incident where the ODP censored and denied permission for the caucus to post a letter by two trans leaders addressing harmful comments made by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton. The State Party Chair reportedly called the letter an "unwelcome distraction," which Childrey notes demonstrates how little party leadership values the voices and dignity of LGBTQ+ Democrats.

Since that decision, every Caucus plan, every potential post, and every path forward has been filtered through a lens of strict compliance and ODP approval. That may very well be the party's rule, but following those rules right now is a dereliction of our duty to the LGBTQ+ community.

For me, any rule that silences advocacy for the trans community during this time is an unjust rule, and I see no obligation to follow it. In alignment with the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his Letter from Birmingham Jail:

“One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”

We are living in incredibly dangerous times for the trans community. We are in an era where the GOP has so thoroughly weaponized trans lives that even some formerly self-professing allies within our own party have fallen prey to the rhetoric. Looking at the national trend towards Democratic anti-trans triangulation, as well as our own internal conversations, it is clear to me that this shift is much more than a simple coincidence.

We have to speak up—loudly, strongly, and unapologetically—or I fear what our 2028 choices may look like. The ODP would like everyone to believe they are a "big tent" party. However, their successful efforts to silence even the Pride Caucus—even in cases where we are simply begging our candidates not to trade on our lives for perceived electoral advantage—has proven otherwise. The tent hasn't gotten any bigger; it has simply shifted, leaving many trans individuals, progressives, and allies out in the rain.

I will continue to advocate, organize, and fight for our community with everything I have. But I can no longer compromise my own moral principles by remaining part of a caucus that appears more interested in party approval than in true, defiant advocacy.

Sincerely,
Arienne Childrey
