I do hope that Hollywood realizes that the popularity of Heated Rivalry was not because of the hockey but because of the romance and they can make wildly successful romance stories that aren’t specifically tied to hockey cause right now it feels like they’re missing the point LOL

I posted in my newsletter about an incarcerated comrade named Kenneth who is running a mobile library in prison. He needed a new cart and some readers generously donated. Here's the new cart! Thanks to those who supported him.

Two men in striped pants and white shirts stand by a cart with books, under a colorful “Perfection” sign on a white brick wall. One holds up two fingers in a peace sign, the other displays a book.

The deep truth of contemporary reactionary politics is that, though they mouth dismissal of postmodernism, feminism, CRT, & intersectionality, they actually believe in all of it but simply want to liberate their exercise of the relevant forms of arbitrary power from any iota of guilt.

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.
