Men, it’s never too late to leave your fraternity. Membership is lifelong. And these segregationist institutions use your name to uphold the power they abuse. This is what your fellow alums are doing. Do you really want to be associated with that?

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

After being raped by a man on my hall sophomore year, I couldn’t leave my dorm room for weeks and failed several classes. I had to take out student loans so I could retake those credits. We almost never talk about the financial toll of campus sexual assault on survivors.

This bold faced lie is actually appalling in its audacity. What he’s saying is NOT true if a project is deemed in the national interest!! Which he applied for the whale-killing port expansion to be!! And if C-39 passes, even the conditions won’t necessarily apply!!!!

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

This is the most important thing men can do, and they must be doing it immediately. People create culture. People can change it. If you can't remember the last time you created some social awkwardness by telling another man to stop with that shit, you probably aren't pulling your weight.

the horrific cornell gang rape case has me thinking about emma sulkowicz who alleged she was raped as a student at columbia in 2014 and never got any justice. it has me thinking about the physical and mental weight young women are forced to carry while their safety is subsumed by male potential.

For an industry that monetized affect to take over the world, it has abandoned that quickly with AI. It doesn’t feel good. it isn’t fun. It doesn’t make you feel sharp. It makes a lot of people feel dumb.

A lot of what I saw in community AI sessions looked like people having a lot of emotions about even conceiving of themselves as the machine demands. it is frustrating for them and doesn’t feel exciting or fun like social media or cutting edge like the first browser.
