"Also: deep misogyny in our society codes almost everything on the list as feminine, and therefore weak, unintelligent…yet somehow also a threat that will “soften” civilization (an interesting threat). This is the entire point of hopepunk: to threaten the status quo brutality of our world."

...the normalization of violence as a problem-solving technique is especially acute in storytelling but it's just a reflection of what we "value" socially even if it's completely divorced from how most people live their lives. (my 2023 article on #hopepunk) dreamforgemagazine.com/story/rewrit...

"for this cycle of abundant sexual assault, violence and inequality to end... 1. End the glorification of violence...Normalize nonviolent methods of resolving conflict." One reason I write/promote #solarpunk is it attacks patriarchy at the roots, incl violence as a problem-solving technique...

I especially like this: "Our goal of maintaining shitty men in power requires that millions of men do not call out the shitty behavior of other men—big or small. So, the bottom line graph is how that happens." celestemdavis.substack.com/p/patriarchy... (source: xyonline.net/images/not-a...)

TOP BAR, How a lot of guys visualize our social environment: 90% "good men", 10% "crazed evil men"

BOTTOM BAR: But it's actually closer to this: a spectrum from "Heroic men who will intervene" through a whole bunch of intermediate positions that are closer and closer to predators with "Monsters so cruel we can't even fathom them" at the end

I find myself pledging anew to deepen my focus (when alone) & deepen my connections (with others). I know this is a project I've been engaged in, consciously, for years & yet I keep finding new ways to fight the fracturing of attention. It keeps paying off, scaffolding ways to live deeper, better.

Some demographic groups that typically have less wealth saw big declines. Median net worth for Black families fell by 25%, while it increased for all other racial and ethnic groups. It fell by 55% for people without a high-school diploma, the largest percentage decline for this group in
the survey's history.

apropos of previous thread by John Wiswell: writers have a lot of solidarity when it comes to contracts. if you are a new writer and you think something might be hinky about your contract, it is completely fine to ask other professional writers even (especially) if you don't know us.

One or more humans designed the wrappers around the models. One or more humans designed the testing parameters and environments, and even more humans approved those measures even after previous illegal results. Throw them all in jail and liquidate the company.

"What sort of institution is Cornell? A very common one. What sort of institution is the fraternity system? A very typical one. What sort of men would gang-rape expecting impunity? A very usual sort. What sort of nation would revere the traditions of such institutions and protect such men? Our own."

the purpose IMO is not to shame the people making the decisions but to shame the audience who might cheer it on, ie short-circuit the people doing atrocities from normalizing those atrocities, ie give context to low-info voters just tuning in FOLKS THIS IS EFFED UP

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.
