This is incredibly important. I feel deeply that curbing sexual violence will come from raising social expectations of men, not from ‘educating’ them. I fear this is an unpopular view, because people are afraid to face up to the scale of the issue.

These fools think people wanted isolated, hyper individual lives/experience when art (visual, textual, music, etc) is about connection and communication between people.

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

saw this on Instagram and it so perfectly encapsulated my rage

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

This is why you see lapsed Catholics riding for Pope Leo against the likes of JD Vance. They didn’t spend all that time in the pews, at the post-Mass pancake breakfasts, toiling away in the CCD mines etc to see a Johnny come lately rag on someone who reminds them of the only priest they ever liked.

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

What I Saw as a Celebrity Private Chef Changed How I Think About Ozempic Spoiler: GLP-1's aren't the problem cheftova.substack.com/p/what-i-saw...
The woman in Oklahoma who finds Emma Stone darling isn’t supposed to imagine her private chef carefully weighing out chicken breast and asparagus while she prepares for a red carpet. She’s supposed to hear Emma talk about loving French fries and think, God, I love her. She’s just like my friends.

So those glossy What I Eat in a Day videos, the enormous bowls of pasta, the cheeseburgers they supposedly “inhale” between takes, the interviews where an actress laughs about how she could never give up bread, I’ve cooked for the celebrities who have made that kind of content. Sometimes they’re lying.

Oh… Sorry, that was my publicist speaking.

They. Are. All. Lying.

MAHA plays a key role in the broader far-right ecosystem: It seizes upon anxieties and tendencies that aren’t necessarily tethered to a specific political agenda initially and ties them to a political project of rightwing extremism.
