How many Democratic elected officials and candidates need to be murdered, raped, or have their house burned down before we have a “national conversation about political violence on the right?”

I want to buy a bunch of art books for work. What would you put in front of a young artist who is smarter than they need to be and angry about everything and wants to make that into art?

every last high school girl out there, unless you know for a fact that she has committed murder or rape, will do more good for the world than a boy or man who has committed sexual assault stop treating rapists as valuable

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

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.

What men who try to intimidate me don't know is that I have PTSD from my physically abusive father. They can't kill me in any way that matters. When they puff up, I feel the silent focus of the berserker descend upon me. I fucking dare you, dude.

a poem called 'midvinterblot by carl larsson, 1915'
midvinterblot by carl larsson, 1915

In the disaster year, in the famine
foreshadow, for all the questions in
the air, only one still haunts me: Is there
Is there life out there in Oakland
There In Oakland California or still
The Bay or after the Bay or after Portland
or after the chaz after Toronto after Brooklyn
Is there life in Oakland California
Is there life after the weekend even
if it never dies, is there life in the squat
even if it never dies, is there life in the
scene even if it never dies is there
Life in the Castro or in Greenwich
Village or life in the tunnels beneath
Las Vegas where holdout soldiers
make a final stand for demon dope
Is anyone there for those gay people
on my phone are they getting enough
and can they get by, can we cut them
a break or can we know if they die
or if they live at the end of it all
when the shouting is done and the
rumors go to mill can we know if
they die or do we need to ask some
soft machine or hard-eyed actress
Is there life out there in Oakland
Still in Oakland California

It’s excellent getting to say to a group of students, We’re gonna read X & we’re gonna spend 75 minutes talking about it, & ideally the way you think about the world & yourself is gonna be a bit more nuanced, complex, & satisfying, & that’s today’s “product.” Or, as @cnygren.bsky.social & I said:
Suggestions
While in recent years universities have promoted student “productivity” (projects, online portfolios of their work, social media posts about their research papers, the list goes on), little of this push to deliver outputs and create content serves the actual purpose of education, which is to foster the capacity to think well, read well, listen well, and look well. Higher education strengthens the process; if we are going toteach sophisticated materials and challenging content, students need to learn how to think,read, listen, and look their way through it. The emphasis on “content creation” is detrimental to the educational mission.

3 things about Dem politicians who dabble in transphobia: 1. It's wrong, they're wrong, on a moral basis they're being evil 2. It's stupid, they're stupid, they'll never get any credit from the fascists for it 3. It's proof you're not capable of reading or rising to this, and therefore any, moment
