Labor organizer and practicing anarchist. Given my various identities I likely meet most of the NSPM-7’s guidelines to be a suspect person, and you probably do too: congratulations on being a criminal with me. She/her.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

The "culture" may have "moved on" from #MeToo but men never stopped raping women so here we are again.

I think it's weird when ppl talk about generative AI being good cuz it can produce art/music/video that is completely personalized for the individual consumer. Art is good cuz it speaks to parts of myself I didn't know existed and makes me feel less alone, dipshit

also disgusted by the number of people gleefully wishing for the cornell rapists to be raped in prison. viewing rape as a punishment gets you at least halfway to having the rapist mindset yourself.

destroying Greek life would be useful for stemming an entire mode of social reproduction which, as I must remind everyone, was born of the confederate south. Greek life prides itself on keeping the tradition of rape alive in more than one form. Sometimes literal.

✍🏾 MY LATEST: I wrote about the moral panic Republicans manufactured about trans girls in sports. I decided to turn all my yelling on social media about trans girls in sports into a column.

The Panic Over Trans Athletes is Fake: Opinion
Republicans have manufactured a crisis in women’s sports, just in time for the midterm elections. Democrats should find the courage to defend trans children—or at the very least, leave them alone.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

The fact this pretense is maintained at all is sometimes mind boggling to me. If you are perceived to be part of the in group even a little men will trip over themselves to tell you about how much they love violence and dominance under the assumption you're on the same team.

I'm kind of tired of pretending that "sense of brotherhood" is a real, meaningful term and isn't just a euphemism for men's spaces where they bond over misogynistic humiliation rituals and coach each other on how best to commit sexual assault.

Not to be rude but Burnham is already in government. People are looking at what Burnham's government is doing and responding to that. The criticisms are responses to real things actually happening. I'm also confused why skeptics need to wait and see but there's no such caution towards the positive?

I actually don't think the Republican Senator mixed up "Hawks" and "Hawkeyes." Going by his own statements, it appears his staff saw he went to a basketball game on that date and googled basketball games and found the only men's game that night in the whole country was in Atlanta.

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

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

it is important to understand that this does not only apply to college fraternities that are literally called "fraternities," but the entire concept of patriarchal in-group solidarity. the nation-state itself. the world is run by old boys' clubs.

Another big one is teaching your son to see girls as equals. Instead of enrolling him in sex-segregated sports, introduce him to a co-ed team. And help him foster his more “feminine” interests where we can be in mixed-sex spaces, making mixed-sex friend groups.

It happens every time. They bring up the extremely rare cases (usually they just bring up the Rolling Stone one) where allegations were fabricated to say we should doubt this victim. They try to poke holes in her story. They try to redefine and restrict the meaning of rape.

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming

Dueling accusations of abuse are not uncommon in abusive relationships. If the victim fights back or buckles under the pressure and acts in self-destructive or reckless ways this is characterized as them having been the perpetrator all along. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is one prominent case.

I think it’s unlikely that substack will do something about it but he seems to primarily have a substack and what he dies violates their policy. not sure if they include offsite behavior and they are, you know, substack. if a lot of people report, maybe?

Reminder that “carceral logic” is literally about state and medical *incarceration* in its various forms. It is NOT a shorthand for “any social consequences happening at all.” If a response doesn’t include involving organized authoritarian apparatuses and agents: it’s not carceral!

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

Ubiquitous surveillance is a harm unto itself. Not only should the police be "deflocked" but this kind of mass deprivation of privacy should be criminalized. It should straight up be a crime for any entity to engage in dragnet surveillance.
