I find it gross that a real life crime happened and people are using it to argue about romance novels rather than looking at the ACTUAL problem of what's wrong with MEN?!?!?

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I want to beg teachers and professors to bring back reading plays and stories aloud in class. It’s real, real-time, and different people *hear* different things in the text and are eager to discuss their takes. Empathy is imbedded in this work.

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

Llms (& therefore the companies that make them) are already causing devastating harms. Not future doom, present day horrors. And this is much different than the old 'violent video games cause violence' bc the llms(& companies) are active participants in the planning & incitement.

If there's one issue I'm (irrationally?) passionate about, like I will die on this hill, is of women being free to wear what they want without fear. Why are people so offended by fabric? Bodies? Girl, wear your booty shorts, wear your niqab, your pin-up 50s fit, your bonnet, you look amazing 💕

Oof, well the parents self-published a kids book & used chatgpt to illustrate it (but started with their own photos.. which were 'heavily' ai modified?) I asked what about the illustrator? Oh, it was waaay too expensive & would take too long 🙃 gahhhhh! I want to be encouraging but I just.. can't.

Devastating that women have to constantly lay their trauma bare in order to be believed. SA still comes with stigma, which is why so many women don't come forward. Twisting a woman's arm behind her back/imprisoning her in a room should have been enough. Hell, the tattoo should have been enough.

The cynical view of this is that people in those top majors (of which I am one) haven't been able to make a living doing that, so they've had to take less-related jobs to make ends meet. I know that feels crappy but it's what I'm observing and experiencing.

They're nothing magical about the age of sixteen regarding coping. Without making social media less awful for everyone, banning social media for teens until 16 just means the problems start later. We have a responsibility to young people to make these sites way less cruel. It won't harm freedom.
