When you hear a politician talking about saving small farms, just know that they do *not* mean the market gardener selling zucchini and corn at their roadside stand every Saturday. They mean a guy who inherited 500 acres and pays other people to work the land while he goes on hunting trips.

It's very important that none of us share her name. Not even in "awareness" of what has been done to her. Not in sharing images of her doxxing. She's Jane Doe unless *she* chooses not to be. Then, we pursue vengeance against all rapists & their enablers until none of them are fucking left.

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

Teach your son to wait. Teach him that other people are as important as he is. Teach him to apologize and go back to the end of the line if he made an entitled decision. Teach him that girls and women deserve respect in *all* scenarios—not just during sex.

I love the optimism about Dems winning in November - I share it! And: I'm a tiny bit nervous that winning will free folks of the urgency to fix deeper structural problems in our party that will fuck us in the long-haul if we don't grapple with them.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting at a table, in front of a game board set up with several character figurines and various pieces of landscape terrain. On the table is also a measuring tape and a scattering of dice.
Green: Okay, that makes six. How many points did we need to dodge that strike?
Blue: Eight.
Green: Oof.

Both of the foxes look at the board pensively.
Blue: I guess that concludes the campaign. Another party wiped out in their first combat encounter.
Green: At this point we're just feeding adventurers to highwaymen.

I just gave this advice to a friend and I'll share it here too. There are two fundamental types of people in this world: Those who go through life dreading being at the mercy of people like themselves and those who go through life hoping they are. Make your life goal to be one of the latter.

I accept that there are legitimate use cases for AI but a lot of use is unnecessary & our systems force people into use by making it hard to avoid even though both use & the infrastructure it relies on is harmful to both people & the environment. Sorry, did I say AI? I meant cars. (AI sucks too.)

A digital illustration of a version of the big board from Wheel of Fortune. An array of green rectangles (each bearing an icon of a hand with crossed fingers inside a circle with rays), and white rectangles that indicate the letters in the secret phrase contestants are trying to guess. The board is not yet solved and reads like this:

M_YB_ I_
_ILL H_PP_N
__D_Y

Standing next to the board in a shiny pink and maroon evening gown and ready to turn around newly-guessed letters is a woman whose head is a human hand with crossed fingers. 

Below the board in the space where viewers at home are informed what type of  phrase is in play it simply reads ‘PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE’
