I've often said that if we found a way to remove work as a necessity for life, there would still be people who wanted to work in the things they WANTED to do. And I know enough people with hyperfocused interests that I'm sure we'd even find people who WANTED to work the waste water plants....

as a society i think we really need to stop asking victims why they didn’t report it, and start asking the perpetrators why they didn’t yeet themselves into a volcano yet.

cw: SA Of multiple incidents of violence against me, there is only one time it was someone who I didn’t know. I have been raped, sexually assaulted, and regularly assaulted. For several of these, I did not fully comprehend that what happened was assault until *years* after.

i think if you’re having complicated feelings about a man you looked up to being outed as a sexual abuser the thing to do is work through those feelings before/without writing an essay about it. the take economy has cooked your brain.

For everyone who spent #MeToo fretting “what if this goes too far?”—be of good cheer! It turns out we didn’t go too far at all! It turns out we didn’t nearly far enough! Good job guys!

Restorative justice doesn't mean "nothing bad ever happens to you." It means, "in determining what happens from here on out, we center the needs of your victim to repair what happened to them over your own needs."

all the jobs are contract jobs and temporary jobs that "may become permanent in the future" and there's no health insurance or stability to be found. end stage capitalism is taking a VERY long time to actually end.

The wall has been stopped, albeit perhaps not forever, in Texas. It's also been stopped for months in Arizona. But over here in Ca our sacred and wild spaces are being desecrated and our politicians are doing the square root of fuck all. That doesn't mean we have to wait for them.

One of my big takeaways from #MeToo was that the primary problem was never that men in positions of power didn’t believe victims. It was that they thought sexual violence is something women deserve.

Men will seriously be like “how was I supposed to know she didn’t consent? she never said no!“ and then you find out he was trying to fuck her unconscious body. My dudes, that is rape. If some is too inebriated to give informed, enthusiastic consent, you do not try to fuck them. 😑

I've read studies showing that 24-61% of men self reported committing sexual assault of some kind. It's staggering. Nearly every woman in my life has experienced it, and im terrified as a parent that it is inevitable that my children will experience it. "Not committing sexual assault" is a low bar

tired of being an SA survivor and seeing people who claim to care abt victims only care abt enacting righteous indignation on the abuser and not that the victim might be getting retraumatized by their assault suddenly becoming an extremely public spectacle without consent

If you have never had to calculate if reporting your sexual assault would cost you your career, please strongly consider shutting the fuck up about what you think women in the workplace ought to do if a coworker or client or boss assaults them.

Red flag for a workplace is if they hem and haw over not being able to legally fire a rapist because allegations didn’t go through the court, but they can quickly find reasons to dump employees they merely suspect might possibly be pro-union.

Unlike the unscientific and fantastical claims of OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs and those who uncritically repeat their talking points, the harmful, and well-documented, impacts of these companies’ products have arisen because people believe that the products are superintelligent, not because they actually are.
