So many of us are refugees from rural America. Don't tell us we need to understand them. We do. It's why we fled.

This is great, though the settlement is a fraction of the harm done. During the pre-Prop 22 era gig driver companies underpriced rides via cheap labor & VC funding, to undercut public transit & get customers hooked. Allowing them to operate illegally contributed to our current transit crisis.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

i'm just saying that i actually HAVE encountered a bear in the woods while hiking, and it was scary, but i held still and it left me alone because it was just going about its business. and it was far less scary and way cooler of a story than the time a guy chased me to my apartment gate

Show. Me. ONE.
A screenshot of a social media thread from a user named "dr. e zje" (@emmy_zje), consisting of an original post and a self-reply. The background is a solid, deep purple upon which text in white is set against a solid black background.

The user’s profile picture shows a person with a shaved head and light skin, wearing a red garment. Their display name includes a "sparkles" emoji and a "last quarter moon" emoji.

The main text of the first post reads:
“Men will fake being trans” lol dudes won’t even wear pink or drink soy milk because they fear emasculation, but yeah they’ll pretend to be women to prey on women in a culture of normalized sexist violence enacted by men against women in broad daylight with impunity. Sure Jan."

A reply from the same user, dated July 23, 2021, reads:
"I mean also like, can we not hold human rights of a marginalized group hostage on the ridiculous assertion that there’s an infinitesimal chance a different group of people might abuse those rights?
'You can’t have rights because others might abuse them!' is pure brain worms."

LGBTQ+ youth are hugely overrepresented in homeless populations cos their folks kick them out or chase them out. Where is the moral panic over that? Why do we, as a culture, place the blame for bad relationships on abused kids and not their abusers?

I remember listening to Chris Hayes' podcast at the start of Trump II and his guest talking about how the Brazilian movement that defeated Bolsonaro had a saying "We're not letting go of anyone's hands." Way too many people think it's okay to let go of some peoples' hands.

No matter what the Court ruled, Trump and his goons are going to try some fuckery. Don't give them a chance. Drop your ballot off at a drop box, vote early in-person, or vote in-person on Election Day. Do. Not. Give. Trump's. Goons. The. Chance. To. Throw. Out. Your. Vote.

This is why I think the retelling of accurate history is so important. Self ID was dropped by the Tories in 2020 and then Labour in 2023, which was around the time Stonewall was starting to quiet down too.

There's wet laundry hanging in my living room because my bedroom, where I usually hang it, is full of dusty bins and water jugs. There's a trail of dusty spots leading from the washing machine to the balcony, where I hung my tent. I've used up most of my vinegar neutralizing the dust on my stuff.

One of my local representatives constantly lets us trans constituents down. And I still saw an attack ad yesterday saying he wants to fund "sex change surgeries for kids." They're gonna do it regardless. Might as well get one of the most involved demographics out there on your side in the process.

They do this in the media as well, a trans person is called an "activist", by dint of existing and saying "please don't treat me cruelly," whereas "gender critical" people, who are in every sense of the word extremists, get gentler words, like "feminist" or "women's rights campaigner" etc.

I was undercover in TERF FB groups for parents of trans kids for over a year. Everyone that claimed parental alienation was a self-absorbed bigot - and many had tried at-home DIY conversion therapy on their children. The same DIY “therapy” that led to Leelah Alcorn’s suicide. Fuck them all.

The parents who don't respect the autonomy of their children's identity also don't respect the children's autonomy to choose to disengage from a system that has never respected them. These pieces are published to sooth those who have lost access to what they view as their property, their children.

If you want relationships with men to be more equitable and voluntary, there needs to be a viable alternative outside of the patriarchal family. You can only enter into a truly equal relationship when you have the option to leave, when economic and community coercion is removed from the picture.

If you aren’t familiar, the rate of left-handedness exploded from 1900 to 1940, after teachers stopped physically abusing children for writing with their left hand, and then leveled off at around 11% from that point on. Which is probably the natural rate. slowrevealgraphs.com/2021/11/08/r...
