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.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You know, the cliche about the half-full/half-empty glass is actually closer to the truth about optimism/pessimism than any modern discourse about it. The same reality can be percieved in two equally true ways. You get to choose one. It's not "copium" if you choose "half-full." Still true.

I was always alive. I just didn't realize until a few years ago that being alive is wonderful. That breathing and touching things is wonderful. That the very existence of earth and everything on it is a freaking miracle. That was always true. I just ignored it. I forgive myself.

Watched Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow... It was a fantastic adaptation of the comic. It was less chaotic than Superman and by all rights should have done at least as well at the box office. It did not fail under its own merit and anyone who suggests otherwise is holding it to different standards

This👇explains why we’re going backwards; each of these orgs are prepared to sacrifice LGBTQ+ and women’s rights, just to harm trans people. And they do not give a shit.

Amnesty has added 51 gender-critical groups to the report since last year - among them Beira's Place, campaign group For Women Scotland, and policy group Murray Blackburn Mackenzie.
The LGB Alliance, the Seen Network, ADF International, Turning Point UK, and Labour Women's Declaration are also listed.

There’s no such thing as trickle down economics. Money doesn’t flow from the wealthy to the poor. What does is racism, homophobia, transphobia, antisemitism, ableism, etc. Trickle down bigotry is definitely a thing.

Human beings were still living in caves when we figured out we need to care about each other to survive. Taking care of each other and cooperating is the reason we have been so "successful" as a species. It's also the only way we can continue to survive.
