I want rehabilitation. But we should not be FORCED to have empathy for those who harm us, and I blame no one who is the victim of violence and abuse for not caring for abusers. I do try, but as MY choice, and only to those who choose to take accountability and put in the work.

New Merch Alert!! Fish. The ocean's full of 'em. And protecting the ocean is a global job, so we better learn the word for fish in as many languages as we can fit on a tote bag. Support @skypeascientist.bsky.social by getting a *sturdy* tote bag with a zipper (with a zipper!!!) at SquidFacts.net
4 freak-ass fish illustrated on a tote bag. We got a barreleye, a mola mola, a gulper eel, and a viperfish

My mom is one of the kindest, most caring humans you could ever meet. My dad was a violent abuser. It's not hard to figure out which one I talk to every day and which one is no longer a part of our lives. If you want your kids to love you and want to talk to you, there's one neat trick for that!

Kamala Harris isn’t alone on this but she was an elected leader. Her job was to lead. Fuck protocol. Fucking lead. And I say the same of Obama and the Clintons and Biden. History was and is watching. It doesn’t just get activated a few months before election season. Leaders lead.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

Somehow our limp American brains decided that it’s a wrong or gauche to have an “ideology” or be “ideological”— But if you don’t have a theory of the world and how it works, you can’t offer any fixes—simply reflecting the public back at themselves doesn’t offer direction or clarity at all

you have to do good policy because it's the right thing to do, and then you have to find a way to sell it* to the public because democracy and accountability are important, but you can't go chasing the public. *or, frankly, to do it without them noticing.

People think of executions the same way they do the cops where there's an assumption that because it's such a heavy responsibility it must be all experts and pros back there instead of frequently incompetent/apathetic/underfunded bureaucrats trying to find the most efficient way to end a life

The entire idea that sports are somehow about equal opportunity is brand new and made up. Sports has always been about finding exceptional bodies, exceptional talents, and elevating them for the rest of us to see what they can do. Suddenly we're pretending it's not like this to harm trans people.

How many lives are upended, how many careers are cut short, because of men who want to abuse power for their own (sexual) gratification?
She met with her adviser to determine if she could complete the Ph.D. program without research funding from Scheufele and Brossard. Her adviser said it would be difficult.

“He (Scheufele) had the funding. He and Dominique (Brossard) were the only people that had this large amount of money,” the student said.

She transferred to another UW-Madison department in August 2024 after informing her adviser about her concerns with Scheufele. Her adviser then reported the conversation to the university’s Title IX office, which investigates harassment and discrimination. She did not complete her doctorate.

The reason why people think Dolly was “politically neutral” is because they don’t understand being political as a series of actions born of commitment to an idea. Being political as defined by the pundit class is to be in front of a microphone delivering sound bytes, it’s something to be devoured

Hey all. I had a health scare this month, and while things are okay for now, it meant bills I didn't plan for and can't cover--namely, €150 copay for a spinal consultant surgeon. BUT, I also have about 200 anti-AI stickers left! If I sell them, I could more than cover the bill. Have a look?

Many say this leaves no path to redemption; I will note that paths to redemption exist, but they are for the offender to walk, not for others to deem it walked on their behalf. And a Nazi isn't walking a path of redemption if they remain in the Nazi party. Nothing stopping them. Path open.

What just struck me reading this is how it’s the same thought process as people loving AI “art” and “writing.” It’s people who are satisfied with an incredibly shallow imitation of the real thing because they genuinely can’t seem to tell the difference. That’s who’s in charge of the country.
