🧵 for a decade my kink has been shaming @kairyssdal.bsky.social for being one of the most powerful people in public radio…& being radio silent as one of the most vulnerable people in radio (his colleague!) was silenced. do not trust a ”journalist” who is loud over bullshit & silent over injustice.

Truly, I’m tired of the need for a legacy paper to go into a space like this, and THEN castigating them for carving out a safe space for themselves that is hurting nobody outside of it. None of this is helping anyone. And the whole “ew cringe!” lens in modern society only serves to divide us.

i actually don't find this moral panic of a story funny bc i can see exactly where it will go: —"intolerent lesbians harm the masculine raw dogging of air" —"controlling bitches" —"disability accomodations = oppression" —"why are transwomen allowed in lesbian bars but not unmasked cis women?"

if only tenured academics had a fraction of the courage & solidarity of macklemore, finneas, aaron rowe, lukas graham and beoga (not to mention of their own students) then universities could have been a bulwark against fascism—instead of an engine of its execution
