But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on.

Least of these @leastofthese.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Sure the average American doesn’t watch a lot of congressional hearings but the fact finding that would naturally arise from impeachment hearings about him would turn up some WILD stuff that, even if he seemed to get away with things, would follow him to whatever murderous job he’d try to go to next 000
Least of these @leastofthese.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I understand that we have finite time and resources but really, if someone has done something impeachable they should be impeached and he certainly has.

Least of these @leastofthese.bsky.social · 30/09/2026yeah it’s like the difference between learning a data point and understanding an entirely new perspective.

Least of these @leastofthese.bsky.social · 30/09/2026There’s nothing I can say about AI that isn’t already obvious to everyone, but for me, as just a reader, part of what i’m looking for when reading is a greater understanding- of the ‘human condition’ or whatever topic is covered.
