The jackals are out, as they usually are for a woman who speaks up in a way that challenges patriarchy. (And a lot of why victims don't come forward or withdraw--as a Weinstein victim did--is because the misogynist public and legal system launch their own punitive assaults.)

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

An Italian told me that Italy had to end their covid means-tested income support program because it was destabilizing the economy, and I checked the wikipedia page and it caused a significant reduction in poverty. Which I guess is the same thing.

DULF ruling is today. Monumental, as it could rule the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act unconstitutional. Aka drug prohibition aka the thing that killed 57,509 people in Canada in the last ten years. Incredible investigation here, consider supporting De Facto! ⬇️

Honestly, I'm shocked that the outcome of the DULF trial has been a finding that they acted with compassion to help people, at personal cost. This is obviously true, but the bureaucratic apparatus of our society usually acts to deny this reality.

and there was no real avenue for DULF to get approved to operate legally through s. 56 of the CDSA. she finds s. 7 of the charter was violated and that declaring s. 5(2) of the CDSA is unconstitutional.

Yup. It’s literally how the car industry and people talk about gigantic pick up trucks. And as you say, applies to the act of driving overall. 😮‍💨
Online search for pickup trucks show YouTube videos of different brands of pickup trucks with the word Domination in its title or description.

Truck driver pulled up next to sedan driver (into oncoming traffic lane) to scream at the other driver, then as I was moving through the intersection with a green, pickup driver full on drove at high speed *right* in front of my bike w/o making eye contact or slowing. Drivers are not ok.

If a government can be pushed left post-election, then we can use our influence after the election instead of voting. If a government cannot be pushed left, then we must vote. But if we have no post-election influence, then even our vote has no influence, because election promises are often lies.

The reason I decided to study campus sexual violence is because universities are gatekeepers of power in society. They choose who will be eligible to make decisions that affect the rest of us.

One of the hardest things about being a cyclist is dealing with the nagging feeling that a serious crash is inevitable. Because you can indeed do everything "right" and it still does not matter.
I followed every precaution and it didn’t matter

New to biking here

I started in July around the time of the fatal car crash with that biker. That and hearing everyone who bikes to work tell me that they have had horrid experiences with cars was disheartening. 

I made sure to only use protected routes. I take Southwest corridor for basically my whole trip and even though it adds so much more time to my commute, it makes me feel safe. 

None of that mattered because at some point, even for a second you will hit the main road. And you will always lose to the 4 ton machine. I got hit by a car parking in the bike lane. He was more concerned with his car than the fact that I could have my life potential altered forever because he was looking at his phone. And at the end of the day, the police can literally choose to not respond to your 911 call and you get stuck with medical bills. 

It’s hard to have a conversation about sharing the road when people in cars feel entitled to do whatever they want and the only person who’s ever in danger is the biker. I love biking in this city and I have found a really love and joy for the outdoors because of it. Now I am terrified to even get on a bike lane, even if there is one, if it’s shared with the main road.

Sexual victimization history is the best known predictor of a college woman’s grades and one of the best predictors of drop out. It’s also the best predictor of whether a woman who started a male-dominated major like STEM will be able to complete it.

Nearly 40% of survivors who report to their schools are pushed out in one way or another—usually, at the urging of school staff who want them to leave. (In comparison, less than 1% of perpetrators are suspended or expelled.)

One of the main reasons that the student loan crisis disproportionately affects women is because victims who can’t complete their educations still have the debt from it—even if they never get the degrees that unlock careers that can pay that debt back.
