So of the 5 men in my circles who have expressed any outrage or in fact any sentiment at all about the massive rape cases in the news, 2 are trans. I have thousands of men in my circles and generally speaking all the cis ones are clearly fine with rape because they aren’t against it.

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

Katie Phang breaks down one of the most disturbing pieces of evidence in the new Cornell sex assault lawsuit: an alleged fraternity Snapchat message referring to the plaintiff as “free p***y upstairs.” Phang zeroes in on another detail: someone apparently photographed the Snapchat from another phone

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

This aspect is really important for my fellow cis-male Flour Rangers to note. Rape Culture/Patriarchy is one of the inflection points of White Privilege when it interacts with cops and the justice system. Because that's how it replicates itself.

It’s an honor to know Dana Miller, and the other folks in Denver, who are getting shit done. DEN will likely be the next airport, following Seattle, to mandate ICE flights are loaded and unloaded on camera, and provide stats that aren’t coming from activists/labor. MSP will get there, eventually…

that time when black men from greensville sc enlisted for ww1 & their wives wanted to stay home & take care of their kids & other community folk in need but white officials "no, no, no!" & called them "loafers" and said they had to do domestic work for white folks or be fined or jailed.

The little dog on the right refused the treat he was offered—not because he didn't want to eat it, but because he wanted his blind friend to be fed first. He waited patiently until his companion had finished, and only then did he accept his own little piece. Original post

🧵 1/ Women should not be dying from ectopic pregnancies. With timely diagnosis and treatment, these deaths should be extraordinarily rare. Yet a new ProPublica analysis found nearly 200 deaths from 2020–2025 almost double the previous six years. www.propublica.org/article/ecto...
propublica.org
Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled. It’s Worse in States With Abortion Bans.
With prompt and appropriate medical care, experts say, people shouldn’t die from an ectopic pregnancy. Women in Texas and Oklahoma have sued over delays in care, which, coupled with our new analysis, raises questions about the role of abortion bans.
