Internet muskox, queer person, economist & a bunch of other stuff. 40/any pronouns. Don't expect a cohesive brand from me. Please no begging/solicitation. I'm tired and poor as fuck.

Protection orders kind of bump up against the fact that they're punitive, and that their subjects have already shown a willingness to heavily transgress social values and in many cases break the law outright. So there's not a lot of preventative value in the moment - you have to rely on deterrence.

The Law Commission of Ontario has released a new report about protection orders. Based on surveys with survivors AND professionals, they found: The vast majority of participants agreed that protection orders matter. Yet only a small minority said that protection orders are working well.

not to be pop culture brained but it is kind of crazy how libfem shit is being weaponized against ppl who are like holy shit Ariana Grande is about to die. fellas is it anti-woman to express concern about the health of a woman and the high mortality rates of eating disorders

I'm also over ppl acting like eating disorders are purely about weight and nothing else. eating disorders imo should be treated like an OCD-related disorder. it is about control and anxiety. it is not body shaming to be like hey I don't want someone to die bc of their cognitive distortions

i love how AIsloppers try to argue for it by saying "IF IT DISAPPEARED TOMORROW, HOW WOULD YOU MANAGE?!" as if we *had* to have been using GenAI this entire time. the only time i ever 'used' GenAI is/was non-consensually, like Google's summaries. but i scroll past it and use links like i used to.

Its embarrassing how many grown ass adults live in these fantasies where people work for some nonsense like the artificial cultures oligarchs manufacture over survival.

Dumbass CEO of Anthropic thinks people should work for the "corporate mission" over survival.

got a text today from an unknown number asking me if I'd seen Christopher Nolan's Odyssey and if I had any thoughts on it ... it turned out to be from a friend's new number, but for a while I really thought it was a devious new scam targeted at heterosexual men

Got to bed on time today, without getting distracted or any screen time. Good sleep hygiene, seemingly aligned with my circadian rhythm... 900% unable to sleep

Seattle universal school lunches (which the centrists/liberals harshly opposed) will cost $2m per year. AIPAC's money alone could have fed every child in a large city for 30 years.

the ragnarok lobster guy deleted all his posts about how haley stevens was gonna win. that’s how cold politics is. ragnarok lobster is abandoning you before the polls even close

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)
