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.🤷🏽‍♀️

You're looking at a long-nosed potoroo (Potorous tridactylus) Well, TWO, actually. These odd-looking animals native to Australia are in a group called "rat-kangaroos". They're also mighty 'truffle'-hunters. Let's talk about their neat relationship with subterranean FUNGUS.

And—imo—this is where some of the drive among conservative men to regulate trans people’s existence and expression comes from: a desire to reconcile that inchoate jealousy, not by expanding what gender can be, but rather by collapsing the options presented by femininity into rigid prescriptions.

This is a complicated thought that I’ll articulate imprecisely, and I’m almost certainly projecting a bit, but I think there’s a non-negligible subset of men who harbor a kind of inchoate jealousy about the variety of expressive possibilities in femininity, and this results in some Weird reactions

Why women? Because neoliberalism and sexism go hand-in-hand. Essentially, the only way for the federal government to spend ~$0 taking care of people (the neoliberal dream) is to create a class of people who can be compelled to care for free (and sexist logic/structures establish women as that class)

The best writing I’ve ever done was a line by line exegesis of the second inaugural. A beautiful, courageous speech. Incredible to imagine a leader in wartime who could stand in front of his country and say, “we deserve to die for the crimes we have allowed.”
