I want to be clear: it is not too late to end rape in college. And the authors are right that changing the context students interact in would help. But the changes needed aren’t about the furniture—they’re about patriarchy.

I’ve been biting my tongue on this one. But I’m just going to come out and say it: The Sexual Citizenship approach is the next era of symbolic compliance for campus sexual violence. It’s trying to solve sexual violence by putting more chairs in dorm rooms. Literally.

My very fav young journo + the ever brilliant Shamus Khan & Jennifer Hirsh on why our rage at Cornell & the world is right and how it can be put to good use to make this “the last Jane Doe.”

Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

Being GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.

worth also noting that both the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti happened in her district, and on top of the obviously racist targeting of her personally this is also an attempt to deny the people of Minneapolis their democratically elected representative

The federal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar aims to build a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the probe on.wsj.com/4zBOcZ9

I made a zine for Geek Weekly Fanzines’ “USA at 250” minizine project! I was assigned the year 1864, and I opted to highlight some historical facts/events that I was not familiar with when I began this project. I hope you learn something, too!

I learned about a new (to me) awful human being: Scott Yenor works for the Heritage Foundation, so ‘nuff said, I suppose… but I’ll go on: Yenor described “independent women” as “medicated, meddlesome, and quarrelsome” in 2021 (according to Snopes).

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
A building.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

Analog collage! Made from old Martha Stewart magazines, plus a lil Vogue. The original text asked whether your thyroid is making you depressed, but I look around right now and don’t see a lot that makes me NOT feel depressed, so I wanted to play on that.

A light brown horse with dark brown spots is collaged atop a bed of red flowers in the shape of human lips and white flowers in the background, with the text “could your goose bumps be making you depressed?”
