I am incensed by sexual violence, and also angry that the systems that have disappointed people are actually working as intended. A system's purpose is what it does. It's pretty hard to make progress without acknowledging that.

ten years ago, while working a dream job at uc santa cruz, I made a title ix report about another staff member. the title ix officer at the time in fact begged me to do so. the ensuing process was so awful and dehumanizing to me that I wound up leaving the job because of it.

life takes u interesting places and sometimes those places include the lobby of a dentist’s office where you must calm your partner’s father’s anxiety about her dental anxiety by listening to him talk at length about how the antichrist is gonna come from this very city

There is truly nothing wrong with disagreeing on matters of taste. In fact, peacefully disagreeing on matters of taste is a vital skill in the TTRPG space, one lots of people haven't cultivated.

sometimes it feels like ap performers are expected to universally employ dramatic modes of performance, often to the point of chewing the scenery and going into long monologues. my take is that it’s okay if you just talk like you’d normally talk and that doing so makes dramatic moments stand out!!

there’s a certain type of international traveler who can breezily and cheerfully show up in a place with no plans at all, including where they will sleep, and then wind up scoring like a mansion or something bc they talk to a stranger in a café. reader, I am not that kind of traveler.

I’ve been largely offline and will continue to be for a while but I need to say that this comes off unintentionally flippant in a way only a white person can achieve. are you aware of the impact of your platform and reach or aren’t you? do you get why this joke is galling to a lot of people?

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners
- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative
sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

no one owes a vote to a candidate who denies people their humanity and dignity. trans people don’t owe you personal or political comfort. and no one, trans or cis, is obliged to vote for anyone who publicly proclaims that they will support policies that harm trans people.

As a chronic disagreer, I don't think there always needs to be a "right" or "final" answer. I think the discussion is valuable even if we end up in different places. I still want to hear your perspective, even if I don't agree with it. I fear social media is not kind to that form of interaction.

Georgia is set to execute a man named Stacey Humphreys in 3 days. 11 of his jurors voted for life without parole; the one holdout altered the foreperson’s note to the judge to hide the deadlock (!!) - because under Georgia law, a deadlock in a capital case automatically means a life sentence.

Reminder, Elisa Teague, @elisateague.bsky.social is a genocide denying racist, and platforming her is tacit support of her views.

Elisa Teague
“I'm not
going to argue with you on this any further, as you've made your position known as a Hamas supporter.
If you want to talk facts and not propagandist
falsehoods, my doors will reopen, but claims of genocide have been globally disproven (and only ever originally backed by a bs organization with fake members with zero credentials). The
population of Gaza has steadily grown

Elisa Teague:
This.
In addition to that, the keffiyeh originates from Kufa in Iraq.
The black and white version was adopted as a Palestinian symbol in the 1960s when Yasser Arafat literally made up the term "Palestinians" and used it as a symbol for nationalism against Israel in PLO's original terror attacks. It was literally worn to mask identities of terrorists, just like KKK hoods are. E-
Now, it is worn as a symbol for pro-Palestinian solidarity around the world by people who have no idea what the real history of the region is. Imagine if that were true of KKK hoods and the fear and betrayal you'dha fear seeing your friends wear them as a fashion/political
