She/her. Everything I write ends up being about cyborg lesbians because I keep being obsessed with the intersections of identity, gender, and the physical form. Also I'm v gay

The more often a person sincerely uses the phrase "update your priors" the more certain you can be that they attended an Aella sex party organized by a millenarian sex cult based on Harry Potter fanfic

I'm petty, I'll block anyone that shares anything vaguely Harry Potter related. I unfollowed someone on Goodreads cos it showed them reading one of the books. Get the fuck outta here.

This has been on my feed all day so I'm going to give it as fair as treatment as I can. Prof. Wolfers is well meaning & I get the intuition, but he's speaking outside his area of expertise and he's just wrong. Having lunch with someone you disagree with isn't going to "cure ideological bias." 🧵

It honeslty just shows me how much rape culture exists. With James Somerton, we all collectively agreed he didn’t deserve a platform anymore, and he disappeared. I’m sure he’s got some job somewhere, living a life. But an admitted rapist, well, he we must forgive, because some of us liked his stuff.

Relevant to current events though not exclusively applicable to them, but I'm really sick of how any time a public figure is outed for doing some heinous shit, people talk about their ability to have a large public platform as if it is one and the same as restorative justice or rehabilitation.

TL;DR: Restorative justice probably doesn't mean what you think it does; no one is entitled to forgiveness; and forgiveness probably also doesn't mean what you think it does.
I am usually a fan of the idea of restorative justice, but recently, after seeing this concept only getting invoked by the worst people on the planet, perhaps just feeding everyone to the guillotine wouldn't be that bad after all.

For starters, I think that almost all people get the concept wrong, the "restorative" in "restorative justice" is not mean to refer to the the perpetrator in the sense that it is about restoring their name, reputation, social standing, wealth, etc.

The "restorative" part actually means that it is up to the perpetrator to give their utmost to make amends and undo the damage he did to whatever degree is possible to them.

Naturally, this is not always possible; an American or "Israeli" soldier cannot unkill the people he has murdered, which is why I personally am of the belief that forgiveness is impossible for veterans.

However, even if you do your best to make amends, you are in no way ever entitled to forgiveness, especially not if you commit a crime as horrifying as rape. But even by the off chance that you made amends, did everything for the sake of your former victim, and are indeed forgiven, forgiveness does not mean that everything will return to the old status quo, and frankly, if you don't get why that is, then you will probably never be deserving of forgiveness at all.

"The Sages said: Let him die."
Screenshot: Miriam Anzovin

Sanhedrin 75: A man set his eyes upon a certain woman and passion rose in his heart, to the point that he became deathly ill. The doctors said: He will have no cure until he has sex with her.

The Sages said: Let him die.

The doctors said: She should at least stand naked before him.

The Sages said: Let him die.

The doctors suggested: The woman should at least converse with him behind a fence in a secluded area, so that he should derive a small amount of pleasure from the encounter.

The Sages insisted: Let him die.

Most of the people you love won’t read it. It’s not personal, but it will hurt anyway. Be nice to you. The best skill you can cultivate is knowing when to defer to someone or something else. Not every story is yours to tell. It’s not censorious. It’s GOOD.

A lot of writing advice comes from a world that no longer exists, from white abled men who have had an agent, who think they’re God’s gift to the written word. A lot of writing advice is straight up ableist. You will be asked to compare your work and your authorial voice to established writers—

As a former pretentious little shit who grew out of it, rationalists (et al) annoy the piss out of me because they are adults with the mentality of tweens - they are somehow still convinced they are the greatest geniuses who have ever walked the earth. It is the worldview of an arrogant baby.

Cont.
Another common pattern I've found in these encounters is that there is almost always some element of "you made me flip out in your mentions, you triggered me, you should have known better than to trigger me." In actuality, I don't know these people and so have no awareness of what mental illnesses they have - this too is part of the "battered household" familiarity: the aggressor is used to being accommodated and frames this in terms of ableism, naming themselves as the true victims and their target as the ableist bully for the sin of not staying still and getting punched a lot. It's not that their mental illnesses are not real - they are- but their friends and loved ones are not interested in telling the aggressor "please just log off, please deescalate". They are interested only in telling the target "you should have been nicer to her and shouldn't have made her do this. Shaming her in public is an act of harm and violence." The purpose is to keep enabling the aggressor, because that's how it has always been, because that will cause the aggressor to not melt down at them, because it is - in another word - the path of least resistance. Policing the aggressor's target has no cost, because the enabler has no emotional attachment to the target. Asking the aggressor to regulate herself, on the other hand, may cause her to turn on the enabler, which presents intolerable emotional pain. Whether the aggressor is getting the care she needs for her mental health is similarly immaterial, because what if asking her to make that psychiatric appointment sets her off? 
Turning strangers into punching bags is not only not care, but it paints the world in the black and white that the aggressor desires: the aggressor is the only one who gets to have "bad days", the only ones who get to have mental crises, while everyone else exists to provide that service of absorbing their rage.

In general, (as a trans person who has been stuck in this trap) it does you absolutely no good to think about your transition / dysphoria as uniquely worse than other trans people. It's incel mentality and it lowers your self esteem and also makes you an unpleasant person to be around.
