New — I wrote about Republicans beclowning themselves heading into the midterms with clearly bullshit narratives about James Talarico and Rep. Ilhan Omar, and how the favorable conditions for Dems have produced a noticeable shift to nipping deranged stories in the bud.

Execute him if that's the sentence. But do it the way a confident nation does: quietly, lawfully, and without giving him the stage he always wanted. Let him be forgotten.

It’s notable how many anti-trans activists who claim their actions are motivated by a desire to “protect women,” are currently attacking Jane Doe and defending the men who she says assaulted her. It’s almost like “protecting women” never had anything to do with it.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

Annecdotally, I've heard that the US/Canada trade war is horrible for asthmatic cats. Many US vets used to buy inhalers from suppliers in Canada because it was 10x cheaper. Now they're forced to buy inhalers in the states where the cost is prohibitive. Cats will suffer+die thanks to DT! #vetmed

threads post from "squiresdujour":  "I use the Merlin app for my interest in birds, and it is wonderful.  Please understand that Merlin and the Lab of Ornithology at Cornell is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit conservation organization managed as part of Cornell's land grand programs, and is NOT part of the large private endowed college.  Let's please direct our well justified anger to the proper targets."

Hot take incoming! Women should be able to go to college, attend a party, have a raucous threesome after snorting k off of some Chad’s dick, and STILL not be gang raped after she’s too intoxicated to consent. If you have to be an angel to be a victim, none of us are safe. (That’s the point.)

One of the main reasons that the student loan crisis disproportionately affects women is because victims who can’t complete their educations still have the debt from it—even if they never get the degrees that unlock careers that can pay that debt back.
