I’m seeing a lot of posts about talking to your sons in light of the Cornell article. And yes. Talk to your sons. Here are some things you should say, based on anti-violence research about what they need to hear:

Agree with this—a) “get in losers, we’re bringing back justice and civil rights ” is a much more appealing message than figuring out whom to throw off the train, and b) I think candidates are underestimating how many Dem voters have trans/NB kids they would do anything to protect

Also: I really need people to understand that yes, this will harm gender-nonconforming cis people, but it's also literally everything.

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING SHIT. The easiest way to tell that trans women are women is that the right is so desperate to control what they do with their bodies. WE HAVE EVERYTHING IN COMMON.

IMMIGRATION IS A VERY GOOD THING AND WE SHOULD BE FACILITATING IT ON A MASSIVE SCALE ALONGSIDE A COORDINATED FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL EFFORT TO BUILD HOUSING NEAR EMPLOYMENT, TO SUPPORT EMPLOYMENT NEAR HOUSING, AND TO IMPROVE THE PUBLIC'S MOBILITY WITH LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL PUBLIC TRANSIT.

When we talk about "civil rights," it's important to keep in mind that the right of women and girls to access the public sphere without being subjected to sexual violence or harassment is usually considered less important than the free speech rights of men to harass them.

I love our loft’s glass block window. This is from the first morning we spent in our condo back in 2016. We plan to add a 2nd bedroom, which would mean moving our room’s doorway to where the window is now. We’ll be sad to lose it, but it’s in the way (& we reeeally need better airflow.)

Sorry I’m making a singer’s life about me but that is the deal. They sing about their life and I take it to be about my life and then I write about it and the people reading that take it to be about theirs.

It was incredibly lucky that I was here
I’m looking at a video of ___ on stage right now. He
sounds like he sounds. Like how you remember him
sounding from one day ago when he was still alive.
The casually delivered growl of a man who has lived
and also very much always almost not lived throughout
most of that living.
I must have seen this at the time. I was still very
young at this point even as old as I am now but this
show was a big deal for the people like me watching
and an even bigger deal for the bands playing although
probably not for ___ who didn’t seem to be impressed
by much of anything.
Sorry I’m making a singer’s life about me but that

People love to deify a person on the day they die
but then it diminishes incrementally over time. Unless
they were a very big deal. Our man here seems like the
type of guy whose stature will grow posthumously I’d
imagine. People who sing about death and pain a lot
become more important when they’re gone because
now it seems like they’ve completed the final course
prerequisite.
That’s a dangerous pattern for a certain type of
person to notice.

Hold on let me look up how old he was at the time
of that performance.
He was twenty eight. Old enough to not be too
overwhelmed by it all but still.
God his voice sounds so good. Jagged but strong.
Let’s make a conservative estimate and say at a clip
of around 20 smokes a day times almost 11,000 days
since then that his voice was about 220,000 cigarettes
younger than the day he died.
He’s got a black eye and he looks like the type of
guy who would have a black eye as a matter of principle.
Everyone loves this song. Everyone loves it and it’s
still underrated.
The day before the band had been in a bar brawl
and their drummer fucked up his shoulder which
accounts for why there’s some other guy sitting in. ___
