On top of the gross misogyny, how is he not mortified by this? "hey everyone, I'm so sad and insecure I had AI make me a photo mash-up of Katy Perry & Kim Kardashian so I can pretend my machine is a hot chick and I can live out my 'Weird Science' fantasy in an ad campaign."

I'm working on the audio description track for a short vid on the Tenerife disaster and wow, am I glad I didn't get around to this yesterday while my parents were caught in East Coast nor'easter weather badness. (They are back, safe and sound, if a bit bedraggled, so can't complain)

My husband and his friends realised they thought they were good guys but still made like, ironic-sexist jokes. They introduced the 'sexism snake' where wherever one of them made a sexist comment or joke, the others would just start hissing. Didn't need to get into an argument about it, just hissing.

Thinking back to when I worked at a university & hearing a coworker who was one of the Title 9 investigators talk about how their office was always so slammed with filed complaints...and then the next fall seeing the school proudly report 0 sexual assaults. Just like the previous 5 years.

I hope people are noticing the resurgence of fatphobia, which is right on time for fascism. It's just another way of punishing people whose bodies don't conform or perform—fat, trans, BIPOC, disabled/chronic ill, queer. (It's also rooted in anti-Blackness; see Sabrina Strings.)

Everyone is getting what they wanted . We have an undemocratic attention based economy creating violent fissures via entitlement with no oversight. “Woke went to far! I’m tired of race! No one is disposable” So we are disconnected , drowning and unaware of each other We made those choices .

Pro tip: I’ve been to a lot of sex parties - but if a gathering is “notorious for abuse”, it is not “a sex party.” It’s a RAPE party. A crime scene.

Every stitch tells a story of love, community, and remembrance. Volunteers across MN created the "Stolen Neighbors Quilt" with 11,000 squares to honor Minnesotans detained by ICE. Each fabric square represents a neighbor, a family member, and a life impacted by deportation. We stand for Justice!

another thing that hurts my heart is how much people who still mask do to understand why both strangers and loved ones feel the way they do about masking—or lack thereof—but there is rarely such curiosity the other direction, but rather, more often, almost a simmering contempt.

Dems replaced action on trans rights with hollow statements, then dropped those statements, then embraced anti-trans rhetoric. Now supporting anti-trans laws and blocking pro-trans ones. At every step the "they're betraying us" radicals were correct and "be patient" liberals were completely wrong.

The school district is doing flu and Covid shot clinics. 3 of the most used insurances are not accepted. It is $60 for flu and $200 for Covid out of pocket. Our school has had free meals for a decade because almost everybody met the low-income threshold anyway. This IS eugenics, in practice.
