people keep making movies where the premise is "it's kind of like a man but it looks like a monstrous freak but it's nice and sexy and doesn't abuse the woman so it's basically the most romantic thing ever" and men keep not getting it.

Why can't hamsters die in a normal way? Everyone who has ever had a hamster has some kind of incredibly wild & fucked up story about how it went.

Let this sink in. Cornell University refused to refund Jane Doe's tuition the semester she was raped. Without this money, she could not transfer to another school. Essentially, she was forced to stay on campus where she saw those seven rapists frequently. Eventually she dropped out of college.

At the end: Chester has been sent to therapy because of his weird behavior and now he speaks in therapy-speak and is reading a book titled "Finding Yourself by Screaming a Lot" and almost threw up from laughing so hard. Onto book 2 while I paint my nails.

I know we're all desperate for anyone at all to fight back against trump, but Newsom's not a hero, here. He's not even a good person. He's a transphobe & actively, proudly destroying tent shelter encampments *With His Own Hands*. This is prime LetThemFight Dot Gif & we get to take down the winner.

Amtrak didn’t tell us about this exposure, so heads up: if you took an Amtrak train last week through Chicago or anywhere on the Southwest Chief, Coast Starlight, or California Zephyr routes like we did, you may have been exposed to measles! Please let the train people in your life know about this

In 2020, Interview magazine held an Ask Me Anything with Gloria Steinem, for which 25 of us were invited to ask her a question. Here is my question and Gloria’s answer, and the link to the feature: www.interviewmagazine.com/culture/glor...

Text that readds:

MONA ELTAHAWY: As a woman who is childfree by choice, I know the taboo of saying out loud the freedoms that have come from such a choice. How has choosing to be childfree impacted your life?

STEINEM: I would put the emphasis on“free.” It has increased my freedom. Everyone has a right to make this choice, or hopefully has the ability to make the choice to be a parent or not. It was always clear to me that I did not want to be a parent, so, although I, of course, understand and see the joys and rewards of parenthood, I experience the freedom that comes without that responsibility and connection.

“In her original Japanese edition, Kusama refers to the area in New York where she used to live transforming into a “slum,” with real estate prices “falling by $5 a day.” She attributes this to “black people shooting each other out front, and homeless people sleeping there.””

In her 2002 autobiography, she “writes of the apparent ‘animalistic sex techniques’ of Black people, and what she describes as their ‘distinctive smell’. She describes working with a Black man in a past performance work, with lingering attention paid to her descriptions of his lips and genitals.”

If someone near you is secretly recording with glasses, yell “META stop recording!” It works even if you’re not the owner. (This is more effective than the Disney trick, since there are AI tools to remove background music.)
