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.

Okay, George Lucas remains a schmuck but his wife is pure class. She made him make the museum souvenirs and food cheap so that schoolchildren without much money can still have a good day, because she says she remembers how bad it felt to go on expensive field trips. It DOES.

Then it should be used very specifically for specific jobs, with strict guardrails, and not propping up our entire economy, and being forced into everything. The same way I don’t need to know how to use, say, software for dental offices, or a forklift, most people don’t need AI.

Deneb the witch, showing off on her broom as she rides backwards, showing off her insanely long legs and sleek features.  While the attitude is signature Deneb, three years means a lot more can be done with the half-done picture.

If you’ve never followed, pressured, cornered, threatened, stalked, or harassed a woman. If you’ve never ignored a woman’s boundaries.

Then a conversation about men who have shouldn’t be a problem.

It should be an invitation to confront the men who do.

But your response does tell women which side of the line you come from.

Why, in the 21st century, does a woman still have to:

be suspicious when a man offers her an open cup?

be afraid to walk alone at night?

carry pepper spray in her bag?

get into a taxi with a male driver and call a friend or family member,
or share her live location, just in case something happens to her?
Why do fathers still have to warn their daughters about how to
behave around men because they know how some men think?
Why are women still treated like objects?

Why would a woman rather be alone in the woods with a bear
than with a man?

Of course, not all men. But why is it always men?

As a society, we have learned absolutely nothing.

We are all human beings. We were all born to a woman.

WE ARE NOT FUCKING ANGRY ENOUGH!
