It’s not just the tech. It’s the culture of a tech that allows for arbitrary personal vendettas as a way of creating a permanent underclass That everyone justifies because “Men should have dominion over women” “Black people commit crimes” Based on data designed to prove that

If you ever needed a clearer proof that the "I would die to protect women but they won't make me a sandwich" script is utter bullshit... 50+ men were HANDED the PERFECT chance to be the Knight in Shining Armor with zero risk to themselves. And to a man, they failed. Catastrophically.

Read this whole thread, and understand that the world women move in is entirely different than the one men do. And it’s even more so for women who are multiply marginalized, by race, disability, living in a war zone, being trans, etc.

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

I managed to mostly not know any of this until today. This detail is new to me. The horror coursing through my body feels like poison. My God, men. Decide RIGHT FUCKING NOW what you'll do if a woman is sexually harassed or assaulted in your vicinity. Ask another man to do the same. TALK ABOUT IT.

We're in a whole political moment that's largely about white guys being upset that social norms were starting to make them have to be aware of and respect other people's boundaries. Kind of awkward to be defiantly on the side of "I'll say whatever I want no matter how harmful; you can't stop me."

It's not "responding to rage bait" because it's not rage bait. It's a threat. It's a threat that when you pretend it's normal, more people treat it as normal. And then they go kill more people. Getting us angry isn't even the goal; it's getting you who will accept it to stand by & do nothing.

Just because SCOTUS affirms a type of discrimination does not mean that discrimination is required. This decision should not cause us to weaken our efforts for trans inclusion in general or trans inclusion in sports in particular. Cis allies, you very specifically, need to double down.

A black fluffy cat with big expressive eyes looks at the viewer. In the first panel, the cat says, “I’ve noticed something quite special about you…” In the second panel, with even bigger eyes and holding a small heart, it continues, “You can become more of who you want to be, at your own pace.”

I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far - POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church?? POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there
screencap of a tweet with a photo at the bottom of JD Vance giving a talk, gesturing smugly with his hands

Eric Daugherty • @EricLDaugh • 1h
• JD VANCE RESPONDS TO POPE LEO:
"When the Pope says that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword - there is more than a THOUSAND year tradition of Just war Theory."

"In the same way that it's important for the vice president of the United States to be careful when I talk about matters of public policy, I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology."

"And I think that one of these issues here is that there has been - if you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth, and that's one of the things that I try to do, and it's certainly something I would expect from the clergy, whether they're Catholic or Protestant."

A two-panel comic featuring two black cats against a soft teal background with green hill shapes.

In the first panel, one cat holds a microphone toward the other and asks, “Do you have any advice for anyone watching us today?” The speaking cat has a wide, slightly mischievous expression with large white eyes and small fangs.

In the second panel, the other cat, now with big round eyes and a calm, sincere expression, responds into the microphone: “Just be nice if you can. A lot of us need more kindness.”

The style is soft and textured, with a gentle, wholesome tone.

I don’t know if non-maskers know this, but when maskers see other maskers in the crowd, there’s a communication that frequently happens. You know you’ve found a safe person who isn’t going to treat you weirdly. It might be worth thinking about how ostracized maskers feel to need to look for that.
