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.

32 states permit child marriage. More states allow child marriage and minors to drink alcohol than those that allow access to hormones prescribed by their doctor with the support of their parents. None of it is logical and it's entirely based on moral panic.

A Dublin #painting "Liffey Clouds" is for people who like the capital city's River Liffey. Or clouds, I suppose. I didn't really paint it for anyone; I painted it because this is one of the many views of my home city I like - even if it's been changed since I painted this. #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear

Portrait format in acrylics on mat board. View from centre of Ha'penny Bridge east along River Liffey. Top half all sky, white fluffy clouds, with touches of yellow, on blue sky - darker in the gaps at the top, where more sky is covered with cloud, paler and almost cloudless close to horizon. Water is rippling blues with white reflections, all in short horizontal strokes. Square tower office block of Liberty Hall on left with its alternating bands of dark blue windows and off-white concrete, topped with small pale green hat with zig-zag-brim. Closer is a tall wide glass and concrete building of O'Connell Bridge House on the right behind the 4-storey white and red-brick buildings of Aston Quay. Trees are across the street from those buildings, overlooking the river wall and dark shadow below. The flat almost white road bridge of O'Connell Bridge is in the centre with its three arches, two piers, and balustrade along the top. The small green dome of the Custom House behind it is partially hidden by the black metal lattice railway Loopline Bridge. The dark blue blocks of glass of the IFSC (International Financial Services Centre) is behind the Custom House. A flat-ish orange leisure boat is moored neared the foreground on the left down steps from boardwalk under full green foliage trees that line the north bank quays of Bachelor's Walk and Eden quay beyond it.

Would you like to be a Legal Observer? Our next training is on Thurs 15 Oct in Galway, 6pm-9pm. We'll cover everything you need to know including the role, responsibilities and the relevant criminal law on the right to protest and public order. @illanwall.bsky.social @emilywilliams19.bsky.social

Image featuring text:

"Become a Legal Observer
Training session in Galway City
Thursday 15 October, 6pm-9pm
For more info, see iccl.ie"

Image featuring text:

"What is a legal observer?
Legal observers are trained to monitor, document and film the policing of protests to ensure that gardaí are operating within the law.

Legal observers are independent and do not take part in the protest. They focus on the rights of those involved, rather than the issue that is being protested.

They’re also recognised human rights defenders by the United Nations, meaning there is an obligation to permit legal observers to fulfil their role unhindered under international law."

Image featuring text:

"Who can be a legal observer?

Anyone who is interested in becoming a legal observer, attends one of our trainings, and upholds the terms of participation joins the Irish Network of Legal Observers.

The training takes place in-person and is about three hours long. Participants learn about the role, their responsibilities and the relevant criminal law concerning the right to protest and public order.

The Irish Network of Legal Observers does not support groups that infringe on or undermine the rights of others."

Maybe one of the most important messages that trans people can internalize is that there is no “true trans.” Transition is a *practical choice* we make based on what will best serve our lives. Transness is a social identity that emerges out of that context.
