Sorry. Something really good happened to me this morning, so the Universe took Dolly Parton away because we live in the No Good Things timeline. My bad, everyone.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.

Everyone of my generation whose first election was 2000 really can relate to how the world we were promised as children started going to shit pretty much the moment we came of age. And to a degree no one really imagined at the time.

A first step towards decentering men is to stop it w/ the “not all men” preface. Your idiot husband’s ego can come second to your pain & rage, ladies. That good guy you married is gonna put just as much effort in dismantling the patriarchy as he put in to learning the name of the pediatrician. Zero.
