Rod Serling was a king. WWII paratrooper in “The Death Squad,” TV pioneer, LOUD critic of McCarthyism who knew his status as a war hero put him in a privileged position to call shit out. Wrote critiques of racism into his scripts, created The Twilight Zone to escape the censorship that brought on.

All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.

she had to hide and be stealth, it’s never mentioned the character is trans but there’s something truly magic in knowing that the next time i rewatch TNG, i will see her there and i will know that someone like me helped make the show that ignited my lifelong love of Star Trek 😭

Given "Orders of Magnitude" was probably the strongest installment of SNW's penultimate Season, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Joe Morton back for Season Five. If anything, I expect Admiral Reeger will be one of SNW's closing antagonists.

Since the 'ceasefire' in Gaza, 1400+ Palestinians have been killed. 0 Israelis have been killed. The 'ceasefire' is not a Ceasefire but simply a protection for Israel, while Israel are allowed to go on killing.

Post secondary institutions kind of act like a Walmart type store who might say "whatever happens in our enormous parking lots is the business of people who park there." Dude your whole business model involves filling the lot with weirdo customers. So they are responsible for what happens out there.

Someone pointed out to me once that Romance is the only genre where good things happen to women/the woman never dies. When people bash or denigrate the genre now, I can’t unsee the misogyny. Romance is the pumpkin spice latte of literature—you hate it because it brings joy to women.

I mean, we don't. If you get kicked out of one place for doing this, you can just wait 4 months and then move into a dorm at another institution and do it again. "But why would they?" I don't know why they are this way, but some people are and they suck, and our institutions cater to them

Based on experiences of people I know I think post secondary institutions are vulnerable to the type of person who preys on young people: drugging and then sexual assaulting them. I think we should keep a record, expel (and charge, if the police a shit), and bar enrolment to these predators

One thing (of many) that I'm exhausted by today is the blast radius of sexual predators. First, there's the person/person they directly harm with the act itself. They're the most important and need protection and care. I just can't help but also see the fallout around it in so many/all cases.

Yep Ppl don't have to be persuaded to accept fascism. If it makes them feel good, if they aren't the outgroup suffering under it? They'll handwave literally anything associated with it, if not fully enjoy it. The only reason the Taliban is floundering now is EVERYONE is suffering, not just women.
