I talk about this a lot in "Lost Worlds" - the world didn't begin with people alive today, and it won't end with people today. Apocalypticism is a wonderful way of making it so you don't have to think about the real long-term consequences of your actions. If it's all going to end, why think further?

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

So I am doing all of this Title IX training- which is good actually. But when do the administrators get their "How to Do Nothing About Title IX Violations" training? It must be really good.

Some studies also suggest some social media use can be beneficial in reducing isolation and suicide attempts. But no social media company wants teens to use their products a little bit, as a treat. The point is to own their attention span.

social media is not "just wanting to communicate with your friends". And Taylor knows it. This is a deliberate denial of basic reality, and a large body of science on how algorithmic social media can harm kids in particular.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.
Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners
- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative
sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

Sophie Cunningham scored 0 points in 0 minutes for Team USA's FIBA World Cup quarterfinal game vs. Hungary. Because the "superstar" / ”6th POY" wasn't good enough to make the roster. Not even as an alternate. Thought I'd share these stats, since she wants us to talk about basketball now.

There are undeniable strains of Amber Heard and Gamergate to this. Women creators who are speaking out in support of feminism and to advocate for postpartum healthcare are being targeted with an outpouring of extremely violent misogynistic rhetoric. They’re channeling support to end women’s rights.

The right-wing organizing around the Lindsay Clancy trial is growing and it’s frightening. A lot of people overlook these culture wars revolving around women’s issues, because, well, they’re women’s issues. But the right doesn’t. It’s how they regained such a massive cultural foothold.
