There's something diminishing about living in a world where men's abuse is so ubiquitous and unimpeded, and still women are chided for not thinking enough of men's woes, men's harms, men's feelings. We're constantly asked why we don't tolerate our endless violation with more dignity.

Rebecca Solnit@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · 16h ago

It's demoralizing living in a nonstop Abuse-a-thon: we've had to learn the sordid details of so many men's abhorrent behavior; I mean this summer has been Graham Platner, Andrew Tate, Jared Leto, Max Miller, plus the horrific L.A. rape-murder of the child by the rapper, to name a few lowlights.

"aha ... our trap card ... showing off this fully transitioned trans guy! checkmate conservatives" you people are so utterly useless it's no wonder that fascism is ascendant everywhere i'm sorry what else can i say

can you guys retire "the right wing / chuds don't know what to do with trans men and forget they exist and will be So Confused by them!!!!" already. they are fully aware trans men exist and the thing they do to trans men is violently abuse and murder them

Conservatives scaremonger to their base about the sexual threat posed by outsiders (migrants, liberals, queer folk) solely because the hypothetical victims here "belong to" conservative men. But they reserve the right for those same men to treat their own property however they wish.

It's vital to understand that the conservative obsession with calling their political adversaries groomers, rapists and pedophiles while simultaneously protecting sexual offenders in their own party isn't a contradiction, but the result of an ideology that views rape as a crime of property damage.

Lots of movement with the Grasshopper Fire overnight. There are now level 1 evacuation notices for the Mount Hood Corridor from Rhododendron east to Government Camp app.watchduty.org/i/110721

all this did was making children less safe, including and especially from their own parents. which was, I guess, the point.

Dr Holly Nielsen@hollynielsen.bsky.social · 2d ago

“It also detected an “unintended consequence” of the ban: the proportion of parents who didn’t know their child had used social media increased by 10%.” Well who could have possibly seen that happening.

im always saying sports should embrace being fruitier rather than leaning into highly profitable yet pointless showcases of nationalism and patriarchal policing

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 2d ago

the obsession with trans women in sports is, apart from the abject bigotry, a symptom of how we take amateur sports participation way too seriously in this country.

There are masked-required events and groups in my city and even though they’re still a small minority just the fact that they exist makes me feel more valued as a disabled person than I have in years. Please require masks at your events. Such a comparatively easy act with a huge impact.

“If this was true, I would be in jail” is not a real profession of innocence; it is a brag about how strenuously the state protects the male right of private sphere violence against women and children.

Rebecca Solnit@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · 3d ago

Those who believe things like this are working hard at not understanding the finite options available to someone whose abuser has not been prosecuted, found guilty, etc. by the law. And how rarely those things happen to abusers, esp. high-status white male abusers.

One of the most disconnected narratives that's popular in the left is that "the right unites and the left infights." Of course "while we bicker the enemy is strong" is a staple complaint in every coalition, but the version that the right echoes among themselves is far far closer to the truth.

Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 3d ago

Meanwhile Laura Loomer is fending off accusations that she’s a trans woman. Participating in right wing political discourse just melts people’s brains.

What I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.

While it certainly wasn't the only factor, collective covid measures followed by a summer of major uprisings are a reminder of how terrified the gentry are of people realizing they can act and work together. They're pushing hard to erase the memory of that entire time period for a reason.

Dave Andress@davidandress.bsky.social · 3d ago

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo

She left her ex. He secretly tracked her through a network of policing cameras.

Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.

Lee Cicuta@butchanarchy.bsky.social · 7mo ago

My new website! - An archive of previously published work: 7 zines, 28 essays, artwork, infographics, 30+ social media threads - Where all my new work will be published. - A digital library with pdfs of over 120 of my favorite books and articles of poltical theory. butchanarchy.noblogs.org

the internet archive aims to make the texts available for people to actually read, AI companies don't. they intend to enclose the commons and destroy access.

“Everything Is Legitimate”: How Israel Uses Rape as a Tool of Genocide

The rape of Palestinian detainees is so commonplace that it’s no longer hidden. It’s filmed, joked about, and celebrated in parliament. This is no mistake; it’s core to Israel’s colonial project.

thekeymagazine.com

Gave away the toolbelt I’ve carried around for over a decade because I only ever used it to flirt with women and never to actually carry my tools around with.

I think what’s really at stake is that there are vast swaths of sexual life in which women have sex that they don’t want, with men who know their opportunity to avoid or decline it has been curtailed, and men are outraged that this sex, which they feel they are entitled to, is being called “rape.”
