Since so much of it is out there at the moment…

I’ve seen the take that rape is “a fate worse than death” a lot. This is usually from well-meaning people who want SA to be taken as seriously as it should be in a society that regularly sacrifices victims at the altars of Men With Bright Futures.

But it’s wrong. And it’s damaging and dangerous for victims to hear. You are not better off dead than raped. 

After your assault, you’ll navigate the feelings of betrayal and anger and hurt. You may experience suicidal ideation. You probably will. But you are not better off dead than raped.

There is a whole life you will live after SA. It may be different than the life you once saw stretch out before you, but it’s no less valuable. You will heal and grow and change. You will know more happiness than you could ever imagine from that dark, angry, fearful place you once inhabited. 

Your life has beauty and value and it is bigger than what SA took from you.

Jacob Gellar news sucks. Nothing but love and care to the people he harmed, directly and indirectly.

Reminded of how my Alma Mater mad a special position for Richard and invited him on campus. Dude was a danger to the student body but UT admin and the lege doesn't give a fuck about that.

It's important to understand that when Kettle defends Flock, etc, he's doing so because he wants to torture American citizens. It's who he is, at his core. He wants to black bag your teenage kid for spray painting a dumpster and then he wants to beat them to death.

I do not care what Leo says into a mic until it's "all the total trans healthcare bans in the Catholic Church's massive hospital networks are immediately repealed."

This is fun because I can be proud and ashamed of my alma mater at the same time. This shit sucks, that dude sucks, but it reminded me that the student body bullied him the edge of his sanity.

One of the core under-discussed issues with American culture is the core idea that parents own their children. That they are entitled to their love, attention, and that their children should grow up into their parents imagined they would be. It's an evil, loathsome cultural rot.

Man, the F1 race director needs to be dragged into the street and publicly flogged. Letting the race continue that last lap past a stopped car is so fucking dangerous. I get that it made for better TV, but people could die. There needs to be consequences for this shit.

Firmly disagree. I'm a very senior software engineer. I interview C levels. Interview loops are often 4-5 hours long (over like 3-6 interviews). People need drinks during that, both in general and for their voices. This is totally normal behavior.

I understand this point of view, and I agree with some of it's spirit, but I disagree with it as a comms device. In a moral way going "Cis women too!" is kinda gross, it makes trans people less than. But rhetorically, intersectionality is the whole game. People need empathy and many lack it.

The thing about this is it all depends on the US remaining the reserve currency. This AI shit doesn't REALLY generate economic value in the same way "Building things" does -- it generates white collar movement of money.

Duckworth can't be trusted on a macro scale because she's a vet who still 100% believes in the US military. She has to, for her own sanity, I suspect. But at the end of the day, she'll never see the issue with American imperialism or foucault's boomerang because she's a true believer.

There are about 60 lesbian bars left in America and rather than a piece about why that is , we have lol cow bullshit I need people to start understanding that especially as marginalized groups when someone is jazzing up the dram it’s not “tea” it’s a mechanism of exposing your community to abuse

This shit rocks. This also opens the door for the city to ENFORCE this shit, which is even better. We all see NYC nuking DoorDash for their wage theft. This sort of stuff is how you get the opportunity to do that.

Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

I often think about the time a friend's 17 year old son, on her wedding day, asked "Does <groom> know you're run through?" And what's even funnier is the kid was not out of pocket at all.

Good way of handling "Two vs One State" gotcha questions. Also closely mirrors my view on most conflicts like this (People have a right to self determine, I have no right to tell them what they should do, I want to give them room to use that determination)

A really core part of every conservative American's politics is that they want to renormalize forms of sexual assault that we've spent years criminalizing. Just every single republican voter is pro rape.

This is very fun to laugh at, Nelson is an awful waste of flesh. But I think the real goal of this is the email tools. It's "harass the council as a service" Sarah is mad people on the left speak out she she's trying to automate right wing harassment

This is transparently true. Some of them hate trans people because they're bigots. Some hate being asked to do the work needed to protect trans people. Which dem falls in which category doesn't matter, every one who acts transphobically is the enemy

Something that this discourse often misses is that for people like me and OP, we don't have a "home" in the since that the "no transplants" people claim. I moved 8 times before I was 18, another 4 since. In that world view, I should live no where. It's a ridiculous world view

If you're in Ohio, do not vote for Marcy Kaptur. She needs to lose. It's just anti trans ad after anti trans ad.

The Dems are doing exactly what Labour did before they were elected. One by one a few stick their head up with some anti trans nonsense and the leadership say nothing because they don't want to rock the boat. Their supporters tell you not to worry, it will be fine when they are elected...

AMR is probably the best person on the council. But also, "The Seattle Process" as a term for ineffectual bureaucracy is such a great indictment of our city's politics.

It's frustrating that we're beholden to areas like Ballard, whose constituencies actively despise Seattle. At some point Seattle's leaders need to channel similar spite and harm them until they allow the core of this region, Seattle, the resources it deserves.
