Fascists and authoritarians, both in government and within families, love “A.i.”’because it’s a tool for violating consent and enforcing conformity and obedience.

attempting to dox a gang rape survivor is like the final boss in loser behavior. a cloud of loserdom will surround you for the rest of your life. people on the street will see you and they probably won’t know your name but they’ll know you’re the fucking worst.

Nicole is a leading expert on the issue of campus sexual violence. I am floored that USA Today would do this to her. I find this kind of journalistic behavior unethical and morally reprehensible, twisting an interview with a renowned advocate for survivors into a hit piece against a survivor.

I had the misfortune of reading the victim blaming USA Today article about the Cornell 7. What a complete disregard for journalistic standards (or basic decency). Everyone should read Nicole’s thread so they understand what happened (and I for one won’t continue reading USA Today)

Disabled people make society uncomfortable. Left or right…. It doesn’t matter. People want to believe it can’t happen to them. That if they become disabled there will be a magic “fix”. We challenge their denial, so they deny us solidarity and support. That’s ableism.

Locking people up for using drugs will never make sense to me. The people I've known who've used drugs, in spite of the threat of severe consequences, did so bc they are not/were not okay. Locking people in dungeons traumatizes them further and makes these patterns even harder to break.
