If you are still wondering what rape culture is think of what it would be like if rape was so explicitly endorsed by institutions and systems that a known rapist was the president.

People aren’t faking their disabilities, they’re faking being well. We know society hates us. We know we will be judged for using assistive devices. Many of us take years to get the courage to lean in to accommodations. Stop judging. Help us build a more inclusive world.

I’m delighted that you were on the rail! C and I saw them at home and we loved it, but I think it was a close parity men v women.

Kids are property and their toys should match the neutral colors of my home decor. That's literally all this is. For the same people who ask AI to parent for them. They see kids as an accessory to their lives, like a bag that matches their shoes.

If I were emperor for a day, one change I'd make: In every political race, at every level, at least the *first* debate would be replaced by a simple test of knowledge. How do taxes work? What agency is responsible for what? Is your area growing or shrinking in population? Just basic stuff.

I am tired, as every disabled person is tired, of being accused of flying off the handle when institutions refuse us access and then act like we’re asking for special treatment. We aren’t. We are asking to be included. And by acting like that’s a huge deal, you’re making it clear we aren’t.

A big problem we face is that most Republicans view anyone with a differing political view as a threat to America, an enemy, whereas most Democrats are under the delusion that such Republicans are just political opponents...and not the threat to America they really are.

This is a minor act that portends major conflict. It's a demonstration of the types of people we're dealing with. They will never do anything again — from removing illegal signage to leaving office in January 2029 — without being physically forced. An utterly lawless administration.

The Republicans are not our “political opponents.” They’re criminals who are trying to steal the safety and happiness of everyone we love. It’s not “just politics.” We need to turn their party into dust.

Put a sociopath in the White House and he’ll not think twice about using his own staff and other humans as decoys/potential collateral damage when he learns that HIS safety could be at risk if he flies on the ill-equipped Qatari bribe/lux AIr Force One. Not surprising, but utterly disgusting.

Something I have noticed, having been relegated to the sidelines of public life, is that people are still trying to “just get through” whatever emergency we’re talking about. They thought we’d wait out COVID, which is why they’re convinced it’s over. We just had to elect Biden aaand that didn’t work

As I was looking something up and bypassed the AI overview to go to a reputable site for the info I needed, it occurs to me that a significant cultural problem is prioritizing “efficiency” over accuracy — something that tremendously benefits the people in power who care little for truth.

it's always odd when "you should expose yourself to more diverse ideas" always means a certain kind of conservatism instead of like, Indigenous art, new fusion foods, math paradoxes, or the Dvorak keyboard layout

When I was in college, the middle- aged, male dermatologist recommended that I get a mole on my upper arm removed by a plastic surgeon. “If you were my wife or my mistress, I’d tell you to go to a plastic surgeon.”

I can't let a trans girl compete against my daughter in sports because a scholarship is the only way we can afford college. Hey, perhaps we have identified the real problem. College is not affordable. Not that your daughter is competing on the volleyball team with somebody who is more skilled.

Like the hypocrisy and the open corruption, the naked, brazen lying is itself aspiring authoritarianism. They aren't lying to cover anything up. They're saying, "We know we're lying. You know we're lying. And we know you know we're lying. And there's nothing you can do about it."

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.

SHOUT out to all the happy folks painting, drawing, singing, songwriting, scoring, screenwriting, novel writing, designing, mastering instruments, building, making puppets, and MORE, even when a gang of rich thieves, their robots, and their hirelings, are stealing your aesthetic value. We will win!

Disability accommodations aren’t taking anything from anyone. The quiet room doesn’t force anyone to be quiet elsewhere. The ramp doesn’t break the stairs. “If we accommodate you, we’d have to accommodate everyone” Yes. Correct. That’s the idea. Precisely.

Bugs the shit out of me that when a company or production hires a person with an abusive past, it’s always framed as “don’t you believe in second chances😢😢😢” and never, NEVER, “is it worth it to put every woman at this company at risk?”

Antifascism looks like Pedro Pascal. It looks like Alex Pretti and AOC. It looks like 600 priests, imams, and rabbis in the cold streets of winter Minneapolis. Antifascism is gorgeous.

Korea added ANOTHER 7 years to President Yoon's sentence this week. He's already in for life but there's constantly new trials to set precedent for every single thing he did wrong to be worthy of punishment. Elsewhere, political standards are so lax no one can even check if a dude's dead or not.

Nope, 15 and 17 are not “all grown-up.” It’s not hard to be on the right (i.e. non-Epstein) side of this issue, figure it out.

An Entertainment Weekly headline reads in part: “Matt Damon’s daughters are all grown-up — and stunning.” The subhead goes on to list their ages as 27, 20, 17, and 15.

If McConnell is chatting with his colleagues, what’s keeping him from chatting with a reporter, for proof of life? (Rhetorical)
