I don't believe that every trans person in America should immediately be made aware of every single evil bill introduced by some podunk state rep in a random red state they don't live in I don't think that's healthy. I have always needed to see a likelihood of advancement before I would write it up

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

y'all if you get mad about women saying "choose the bear" please look up bear assault and murder statistics and then contrast with human men. It is objectively reasonable to choose the bear.

Jane Doe, you are remarkably brave. I wish you didn’t have to be. “I am Jane Doe.” Do not let them doxx Jane Doe. If you see their name, you did not. Do not punish the victim. I stand with survivors. You will not take away their power. We believe you.

I really think a lot of people underestimate the damage done to society by the conviction that, no matter what product we want, it should be delivered to us in a matter of hours.

One thing I do know though is that it's a huge mistake to underestimate serial readers and assume that because most serials are amateur slop, that means serial readers have low standards. Trawling through an ocean of options to look for something good tends to make people MORE discerning.

It’s pretty damn irritating. TikTok too. “Unalive” and “ending his life subscription” are so cutesy it’s in really poor taste. I said this about “spicy” books too—the euphemism does more harm than good, and I can’t help but think that sometimes that’s the point

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

She also adjusted her pace to ensure the injured cub could keep up. By 2008, he was observed hunting on his own & at the age of 20 is King of the Fat Bears, holding his own at the crowded Brook Falls. A story of a mother's love, sacrifice & a little cub who became a champion fat bear. 🥹

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

In many ways, the only thing boys need to learn are the lessons we already teach girls. They need to learn to be part of a community. And if they understand that, then the lessons on consent and sexual violence come naturally.

INTRODUCTION

The equities here could not be more one-sided. Defendants admit that they
provide a service without fully knowing how it works. 

This is not just any service. It is one that Defendants themselves concede poses an existential risk to the continued
survival of humankind. 

Defendants claim they cannot stop barreling forward with their potentially civilization-ending endeavors unless they are forced to do so by the
government. They have asked the government to tie them to the mast. 

Plaintiff brings good news to the Defendants: The Florida Attorney General is answering your
cry for help with a motion to enjoin you from harming Floridians with your reckless, unacceptably risky product.

another thing men can do more of is employ the social regulatory function of gossip. gossip is how we run scenarios together and figure out shared values! "you would not believe the shit my coworker said to me today" communicates "I find this behavior unacceptable and I believe you do too"
