To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

Fuck the patriarchy 🔨🔨🔨

Campus rape is really widespread; statistics suggest a significant percent of women who go to college will be raped there; feminism opened up a good conversation about it around 2012-13; it's weird when people treated Cornell like an isolated rather than dramatic example of a pervasive problem.

Yeah, this is just another way to exclude women and a great reminder that we've got a patriarchy to smash 🔨

Women trying to succeed in Silicon Valley AI and effective altruist spaces are reporting feeling serious social pressure to attend sex parties - where people have reported being sexually assaulted, like below. Events like Aella’s “Slutcon,” which is happening again this weekend.

Most of the dunking on this focuses on his political ineptitude but can we just talk for a second about how little he apparently cares about the victim here? Who he was supposed to be advocating for? You're the fucking prosecutor, asshole!

Ken Paxton: The criticism has been that I let a child predator out after one day. Well guess what? They served 60 days.

There's a family in our deep-red Trump-voting county that named their sons "General" and "Major" and I always wondered what the military would do with that if they ever decide to enlist 🤔

Brilyn. LOL. My dorky maga cousin went with Braden and Caden

I can't even put into words the rage I feel after hearing the Cornell story and knowing that not one person in the Epstein files has faced consequences. The patriarchy must fall.

Our kid is homeschooled. We still want public schools to be safe, effective, and fully funded.

Women are NOT safe around men.

Stealthing is rape. Sleeping with a minor is rape. Drugging someone and having intercourse is rape. Coercing someone into bed is rape. Your wife or girlfriend does not “owe” you sex. If there’s no consent, it’s rape.

Happy #Caturday, friends! We rescued this critter from an old vending machine and he has had a long road to recovery but now he loves to cuddle and hang out in all the finest boxes ✨🐾

On Dolly Parton Day, I'm remember how she... -Gifted millions of free books to kids -Ensured musicians she worked with got union benefits -Helped fund medical research and the COVID vaccine -Donated millions to communities hit by natural disasters -Funded high school band programs She is missed!

Reminds me of the time when I told my kid my favorite Beatle was Paul. She replied, "Mine's ladybug!" 🐞

A woman was drugged, raped, and sexually trafficked to members of a fraternity. Two of the men involved were expelled. Five were given the opportunity to mitigate suspension by *writing an essay.* The dozens of other men who knew this was happening and said nothing? You already know the answer.

EDITORIAL | Cornell Won’t, We Will

The Editorial Board demands that Cornell stops protecting the alleged Chi Phi rapists through the University's opaque sexual assault policies.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

This is true, that's what makes it both funny and sad.

to be clear, the admin is alleged to have deported AT LEAST 25,447 individuals TO COUNTRIES THAT ARE NOT THEIR OWN with, evidently, ZERO PROTECTIONS. this is a scandal and crime of historic proportions.

the @forbidden-stories.bsky.social investigation is so deeply important. put the illegality to one side. the trump admin is brazenly sending ppl to third countries, lacking any cxn, without any guarantee they won't be sent on for torture, abuse, persecution... it's horrible.

It is not easy to shock me with the mendacity of EdTech entrepreneurs. But I had to take breaks from these testimonials to what is actually happening inside Alpha Schools.

So what did Dolly Parton name the entity she established to oversee her estate, publishing interests, and legacy after her death? “She’s Alive LLC.” Absolutely perfect.

I know we're all* numb to this by now, but it really needs to be said that any one of the batshit insane tyrant tweets from our special little boy would've led to swift efforts to remove any other previous president.

The GOP needs to get serious. His family needs to get serious. This is not something that a stable mind puts out.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

A man masturbated during a flight while staring at the 25 year old sitting next to him. He should have been removed from the seat and arrested at the gate. This was sexual assault. Shame on the airline for putting the responsibility to report it on a traumatized young woman.

Passenger says United ‘trapped’ her next to a man who masturbated on flight. Then the airline let him leave.

The woman said she was told she had to return to her seat during landing in spite of the sexual harassment she reported because there were no other available seats.

I went to a tiny evangelical private school--literally a one-room schoolhouse--so we didn't have assemblies, but I decided to bring my pet chicken to school and for some reason, no one told me not to do it. 🤷‍♀️ My hen laid an egg at school, and I couldn't have been prouder if I had laid it myself ✨

Bizarre things that happened in your assembly: A neighbour of one of the teachers gave us a five-minute lecture about kwashiorkor which involved him reciting a list of his favourite words (yes, ‘kwashiorkor’ was one of them). Included the unforgettable phrase, “Diarrhoea, another beautiful word.”

This is human trafficking on a massive scale.

Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades

Joe Flynn@chinajoeflynn.bsky.social · 6d ago

Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...
