If you are a man, and you see another man being appalling to a woman, do at least this. Say to them "Hey, got a minute? I need some help with something." When you get them over to the side, say quietly and firmly "What the hell is wrong with you? Stop it NOW." I've done this and it works.

Writers, if you are against AI, do not put your writing into ANY tool that is itself AI. Not to check grammar, not to "prove" you wrote it yourself. Everything you give them becomes part of their data, even if it's only to "improve their service" or whatever BS they tell you.

Before the NCAA capitulated to this nonsense and banned trans women from competing on women's sports teams, the head of the NCAA told a Senate panel that he knew of less than 10 athletes competing in sports in the NCAA. What are we fucking doing here, people. It's a non-issue.

The trans women in sports panic has got to be one of the GOP's most successful manufactured culture war campaigns. Somehow they got a lot of people who would otherwise say they support trans rights to somehow fear "fairness" in sports. It's a non-issue.

Humanities is "feminine," so those of us who studied it are expected to accept that it's on us to read widely, whereas STEM is "masculinized," which means humanities has to do all that work for them

So I want to talk about something that’s a side piece to the Roko’s Basilisk cult: This concept that “by putting them in proximity to women who like men and aren't scared of men“ If you really like men, then something you want is for them to realize that criticism is a form of care.

the purpose of SlutCon is to help men who are scared of women to start liking women, by putting them in proximity to women who like men and aren't scared of men
I'm not attending or involved in any way, but this is very aligned to my own mission and I'm rooting for their success

And the only way for men who have been raised in the worst ditches of the manosphere and the general toxic masculinity to become better is to first teach them that care comes with guardrails and consent, and almost never comes with unbounded, unconditional consent.

It’s a very minor point amongst the far greater injustices of the situation, but the Cornell case has also just reminded me how much all of society seems to have just accepted the fact that big tech won’t allow people to use the word “rape”. (Or at least people *believe* so — nobody knows!)

Queer communities are actually pretty much the only spaces that still give a fuck about the health of the disabled and chronically ill. They’re certainly the only place I’ve found continuing support (and I’m not even queer!). We should be celebrating and emulating that acceptance.
