In many ways, the only thing boys need to learn are the lessons we already teach girls. They need to learn to be part of a community. And if they understand that, then the lessons on consent and sexual violence come naturally.

Teach your son to wait. Teach him that other people are as important as he is. Teach him to apologize and go back to the end of the line if he made an entitled decision. Teach him that girls and women deserve respect in *all* scenarios—not just during sex.

I am of the view that #RSS (or an RSS-like technology) has the potential to be vastly superior for getting news to readers, especially those who are specific about the type of news they want to read, but I agree that a discoverability layer is sorely lacking. ...

To be really clear: I currently have no intention of making those changes. I'm nowhere near it. BUT 1) it is very hard at the moment to find funding for a news site; 2) I want to get a sense for how others are thinking about it beyond my own gut reaction as we continue to think about options.

people keep saying to me "the website as a destination [for humans] is over" "no one is going to read news on websites any more" "search is done". They are pushing for us to change how global voices works. I would love to hear what you all think of that and if you DO appreciate how we work now, why?

Okay, so wrapped up Midnight Mass late last night. 10/10. Love it. It's got layers, it's got religious trauma, it's got that one awful character who you know exists in every community which makes her even worse, it's got shitty parents, and good parents, and awkward parents trying to do better.

The article’s point, this really highlights the situation. If nobody involved in the production or use of software bothers to care about the harms and body count of software, literally any shitty technical practice or lack of accountability is on the table. It’s a race to the bottom of the abyss.
The tragedy of software engineering today is that we are actively engineering systems where neither the user nor the builder seems to have any interest in checking whether or not there's a body behind the door.

I was loudly complaining about one of these movies once, and my friend’s mom had to very patiently explain to me that these are not really meant to be watched. They’re background noise for making out on a date if you were a teenager at the time.

Initially my question about the riffed short, "Cipher in the Snow" was, "Am I overthinking the BYU connection?" Jury is still out on THAT but uh. Second question. Were there ANY other Reader's Digest nominees to consider for best short fiction in 1964? Because uh...It's bad.

people think that just because it doesn't kill you as quickly, that it automatically means its not as bad. wrong! a virus mutating to be less acutely deadly is basic evolution. if you can lay dormant in a host for longer, you can infect more hosts for longer durations.

These guys need to hear is “no, let’s do this better” but all they have been trained and conditioned to hear is any form of no is complete rejection. That’s simply not true! We tell each other no for many reasons, most of which are about adapting The Object Of Dissent into mutual agreement.

Women aren’t demo toys, we’re not show room appliances to be sold off as floor models, but that’s exactly how this event treats the women participants, and it reinforces all of the misogyny built into these desperately insecure, emotionally inept men, instead of helping them built better tools.

You do not give that dog cat shaped toys. You work with the dog to be less reactive, and more tolerant. So why in the name of all the nice gods would you permit men who are negatively reactive toward women to do whatever they wanted with women, and tell the women they are not allowed to object?

And the only way for men who have been raised in the worst ditches of the manosphere and the general toxic masculinity to become better is to first teach them that care comes with guardrails and consent, and almost never comes with unbounded, unconditional consent.

distress — are not reasons to be angry or afraid. We WANT them to be secure in their vulnerabilities, to treat being open and vulnerable not as war states, but as the pre-conditions for love and learning and community. We want to nurture LESS aggression, and foster more cooperation.

We want that for them, because it really is a better way to live when you can sit with yourself and take your own emotional temperature, and figure out what’s causing distress, and if it’s distress, or simple discomfort, and that it’s okay to feel discomfort. That discomfort — and even sometimes

We WANT men to be the best people they can be. That means BEING BETTER HUMANS. It means being more pro-social, more empathetic, better able to communicate. We want them to connect with their feelings, and learn to identify all of the gradation of emotion, that it comes in more flavors than ANGER.

So I want to talk about something that’s a side piece to the Roko’s Basilisk cult: This concept that “by putting them in proximity to women who like men and aren't scared of men“ If you really like men, then something you want is for them to realize that criticism is a form of care.

the purpose of SlutCon is to help men who are scared of women to start liking women, by putting them in proximity to women who like men and aren't scared of men

One of the weirder asks I’ve ever gotten in community theater: “could you just rent out some costumes to us?” This tells me that you know nothing about how costumes are created or sourced. (For specific shows for specific performers and altered to fit.)

If you’re the kind of person who messages the sewists in your life in the first week of October going “if I give you $50, will you make me a Halloween costume”, I hope you either educate yourself on what costuming actually takes or have perpetually wet socks.

What a surprise, the organizers of the covid cautious dyke bar hated the article, rejected its framing, and is defending their covid cautious patrons and performers. Anyone who joined in on the viral harassment campaign started by Jesse Singal wanna say oops or…? recorder.com/2026/09/24/g...
Current and former owners of Last Ditch could not be reached by phone, email or social media. However, Last Ditch did share on Instagram that the Globe story allegedly misconstrued statements from Noire, and urged community members to stop harassing Noire.
"It is neither productive, progressive, nor valiant to attack a Black patron. He has been a collaborator and performer of Last Ditch for a while, and he deserves to speak his mind about accountability and repair from the bar," the Last Ditch statement reads. "There are so many misconceptions due to the disorganization of the Globe article. He did not call for the bar to be firebombed. Further, he did not disparage the owner for being homeless.
"As a result of this abysmal journalism, he has been getting additional threats, slurs, harassment, and is being reported to the police over something he did not do," Last Ditch continued. "This is not supporting us at Last Ditch, and it is, at its core, anti-Blackness hysteria."
