Whoever is adding these community notes to the BC Gov's strangely misleading posts about permanent daylight saving time, please keep doing what you do
Proposed Community Note saying BCs 93% survey result came from a choice that excluded permanent standard time instead of BC Gov claim that 93% supported permanent DST Proposed Community Note says scientific evidence, including from Canada, opposes permanent daylight time and supports standard time. BC Gov says their policy is backed by scientific research

If sexual abuse was really considered a terrible thing, the world's richest and most powerful people wouldn't be abusers. The most valued technology wouldn't produce sexual abuse on demand. And allegations of abuse wouldn't be framed as positive depictions of masculinity. Our culture rewards abuse.

You can see that audience burgeoning in his replies as he continues to cape for Platner and his own new term “smoothgroins.” And you can see why he wants to nurture them at the expense of his critics. It’s a valuable audience to have if you hate women and have no scruples.

there is also (c) violence done to *marginalized* men in the process of attempting to exclude them from (hegemonic) manhood, but which can often be externalized onto marginalized women & maGes in the process of re-establishing their manhood.

people like to talk about how boys & men are also harmed by patriarchy. i would argue that much of that harm is split between (a) violence done to them, chiefly but not exclusively BY men, in their childhood capacity as "not-men" and (b) violence done in the process of turning them INTO men.

I often complain that liberal zionists seem to think this, and then Ezra Klein just outright fucking typed it out. *Every* ethnostate is founded on genocidal violence, and the nazis were just a purified exemplar of such; to focus solely on their extermination of Jews ignores the Roma etc.
The comparison of liberal Zionists to Nazis, for instance, is repugnant and not much improved by Piker clarifying that he opposes ethnostates. What made the Nazis notable wasn’t their support for an ethnostate. Ethnostates are common. What made the Nazis notable was their effort to exterminate the Jewish people

I do appreciate cis advocates of trans healthcare, especially in these times, but I do wish more of them would let go of the "experts know best" framing. I'm aware it's safe, palatable, sellable, but there's a century of "experts" torturing, converting, and sexually abusing trans people. So.

If you want to make the philosophical argument that the soldier pulling the trigger for imperialist masters and the ones he aims his gun at are both victims of a violent system, you better actually acknowledge who is harmed first and who is harmed more in that exchange or you're just doing apologia.

"Transing the gays" conspiracy is built on the idea that you can be gender nonconforming up to a point, but you should not cross the line between the genders, you should not assert a gender identity different than the one society says you have. That isn't really accepting gender diversity.

A plump "Lincoln's" sparrow perched on the snowy, stick-strewn ground, a mouthful of snowflakes in their beak. The back of their body is in shadow, their front in light, their head turned to the side as they chew. They're a very pretty sparrow, with a buff wash across their front and sides, which is then painted with very fine dark streaks, as if drawn on with a fountain pen.The same bird in the same spot on the ground, only now looking ahead so that they're fully in profile, with more of their body in the sunlight. Snowflakes cling to their beak.
