Men, if you don't know any woman who has been sexually assaulted it's because the women in your life do not trust you, not because they haven't been assaulted.
I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

I’m seeing a lot of posts about talking to your sons in light of the Cornell article. And yes. Talk to your sons. Here are some things you should say, based on anti-violence research about what they need to hear:
25 min wait for the Ashland bus on this glorious fall morning ☺️
Agree with this—a) “get in losers, we’re bringing back justice and civil rights ” is a much more appealing message than figuring out whom to throw off the train, and b) I think candidates are underestimating how many Dem voters have trans/NB kids they would do anything to protect
Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social · 3w ago"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."
Also: I really need people to understand that yes, this will harm gender-nonconforming cis people, but it's also literally everything.
LOOK AT THIS FUCKING SHIT. The easiest way to tell that trans women are women is that the right is so desperate to control what they do with their bodies. WE HAVE EVERYTHING IN COMMON.
It breaks my heart that it’s 2026 and there’s still disagreement about which minorities it’s acceptable to throw under the bus.
voter abstention this, voter abstention that, the obvious answer here is that Democrats could and should just support trans people. if you're on the left and consider yourself on the left in any capacity you should just be supporting trans folk
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 4w agoSome Dems are running away from trans people. Abdul El-Sayed, Dem Senate Candidate in Michigan, is running towards them. When asked, he fully and unequivocally support trans youth care as a matter between parents, patients, and doctors. Subscribe to support our journalism.
In true ADHD mom fashion, I just completed 3yo’s first homework an hour before he had to turn it in. 😅
It’s too hot outside to have a sore throat. And yet, preschoolers exist. Each each sip of coffee felt like tiny razor blades tumbling down my esophagus this morning.
I’d really love to go for a walk around my neighborhood without fearing for my life every time I have to cross the streets.
Saw a guy clearly inebriated or having a mental heath crisis on the sidewalk. Hes been there over an hour. Tried calling 988, but they couldn’t reach the local mobile crisis units. Called 991 & 311. No answer to any of my many calls. Not sure what else to do.
IMMIGRATION IS A VERY GOOD THING AND WE SHOULD BE FACILITATING IT ON A MASSIVE SCALE ALONGSIDE A COORDINATED FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL EFFORT TO BUILD HOUSING NEAR EMPLOYMENT, TO SUPPORT EMPLOYMENT NEAR HOUSING, AND TO IMPROVE THE PUBLIC'S MOBILITY WITH LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND NATIONAL PUBLIC TRANSIT.
This is why Dolly Parton will be remembered and loved ❤️📚
let's do UBI for her, she'd want us to
Ghostly Bree@mostlybree.kitrocha.com · 2mo agoLike the time fires raged through Gatlinburg and she just gave the families impacted $1k/month for 5 months and $5k the 6th month. no means testing, no complicated hoops, just "your life is destroyed here's some cash" resulting in another UBI experiment gone right. www.bpr.org/news/2018-12...
Don’t believe in American exceptionalism, but Dolly Parton was an exceptional American.
First day drop off was surprisingly chill. I suspect tomorrow Will Not Be. But I now have kid-free hours 5 days a week. I have no idea what to do with myself.

When we look back on all of this, I think it will be hard to calculate the mental and emotional load of spending a decade in the Worst Possible Version of the Emperor's New Clothes.
