I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

i love how strongly anti-AI young buckaroos are, and the creative community is, and basically anyone who knows anything about it. but dang i wish folks brought that kind of fight to the world of erotica. such a sneaky reveal of how those who CLAIM to care actually dont see erotica as 'real art'

the whole 'i dont like AI but THIS i can get behind' when its a story about someone pounding a trex or a minotaur is such a bad take. camp is art. real legitimate art. honestly kind of astonished to see anti-AI folks just ignoring their stated values because someones AI erotica cover made them laugh

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

Washington Taxed Its Millionaires. Now the Rich Want It Repealed.
Washington State voters will get a chance to accept or reject the 9.9 percent income tax on millionaires approved by the Legislature, which broke the state’s taboo against levying income taxes.

Every woman you know does so much mental math on the regular regarding her safety. When to smile politely. When to confront someone. When to walk away. When to cause a scene. Who’s safe? Who’s not? Who sees her as a person? Who doesn’t? Women are taught to never leave their drink unattended.+

Don’t put yourself in a bad situation. (Too late. That’s just existing as a woman.) Don’t go somewhere alone. Don’t dress this way or that way. Be careful who you trust. Be friendly but not too friendly. And more. All that and yet, it doesn’t keep us safe. Because we are not the problem.
