Max Fawcett@maxfawcett.bsky.social · 10h agoThis is genuinely astonishing: a piece by the Globe and Mail’s editorial board lamenting the “new normal” of wildfires and summer smoke and no mention whatsoever of a) climate change, or b) the burning of fossil fuels that causes it. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

There’s a particular passage in here on gaslighting and Oprah and glp-1 that made me guffaw aloud as it’s the articulated thought of my inarticulate brain. I’m glad it’s out there. Society, collectively, hates women. Men hate women. Women hate other women. Women hate themselves. Rinse and repeat.

There’s a show out now called Furious and after the last episode I had to go cry in the bathroom for a bit bc it’s so accurate. Men who abuse are protected and coddled by other men and women while those abused are continually asked to do more. In a just world this man would be run out of town.
