It happens so often it can be hard to even see. Men having the same experience I am, but I hit a place where the attention becomes unpleasant. Inuendos start. I have to wiggle out of something I did not start (cautiously! trying not to upset any dangerous egos!) so I leave, while the men get to stay

we have reached “mudd’s women” & when i was a girl one of my sisters would always bring up “mudd’s women” when next gen was on. now granted we’re only halfway through but so far harcort fenton mudd isn’t much fun & the conclusion i’ve reached is, yes, that sister *is* bisexual. good for her.
three women in very midcentury getups. a glittery rose gown with a slit all the way up; a glittery gown with a full diagonal torso slit: and an asymmetrical lavender sweater with fringe and bell sleeves. very mod. hair? that’s mod, too.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

i rarely have nostalgia for childhood but we watched Garfield & the Suicide Machine as a family every arbor day. my sisters & i would spend the whole next week doing bad impressions of nermal & odie & jon’s death rattles until our mom threatened us with the tenderizer mallet. good times, good times.

helping any trans woman survive right now is a thing many people are capable of on some level & that most institutions & politicians are resistant to doing. also this *specific* woman is a delight. community is how we survive fascism; On Here is community. if you can help even a little, please do.

Recently, I did a wonderful interview with the indefatigable @emilystjams.bsky.social about trans people's online information environment and why there are very strong incentives to spread panic. It was a wide-ranging discussion that I think is more relevant than ever.

just moments before this, lieutenant joe tormolen took the bare hand he dipped into contaminated goo and stuck it under his hood and sniffed it proving that humanity only survives to the 23rd century by mistake and apparently some folks in science division got their posts as a favor to a friend.

I feel like it's important to have daily contact with non-humans. Dogs, yes, cats, yes, but also plants--especially catci--urns or whatever, the glass on windows. Be aware of the furniture you're sitting in. Make a note of the things you touch, and how it feels to touch them.

"how do you ban then? they'll just move off campus and—" if you are discovered to be a member of a fraternity org, your shit is done. end of your time at that institution, do not pass GO, do not collect $degree. "that's too harsh!" tell that to a rape victim. fuck you.

there are no worthwhile qualities of fraternities, full stop. when they're not busy raping women and defending their rapist members they abuse and kill new members for fun. colleges have proven they cannot be made safe or reformed. the only reasonable policy at this point is banning all of them.

How the fuck are any of us functional. We’re 1% of the population, give or take, and we have Great Depression employment numbers
But Democrats in Republican-leaning districts are under pressure to respond. One Democratic strategist estimated that fully half of the GOP’s messaging this year has been around transgender issues — about the same time they’ve given the economy, data centers, immigration and crime put together.

Lost in the discourse about where Dems are is the fact Republicans know the anti-trans ads aren't helping them but, as Terry here openly admits, hurting trans people is all they have left. They'd use their dying breath to ruin one more trans kid's life.

quick fashion tip: if your base tone is “copper-based blood,” don’t let your tanned, dirty blonde friends talk you into matching chartreuse turtlenecks. you will *not* “both look soooooooo cute.”

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.
