People always underestimate how many things I can be angry about at any given time. My well of anger is bottomless. 🤷‍♀️ I can ALSO be angry about the limited impact I can have on some of these things. AND, perhaps not a great trait, but I can hold multiple grudges FOREVER. #ratm #fuckthis #fuckthattoo

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

This is very Handmaid's Tale, very Martin Niemöller. If you have any condition that impacts a) your appearance within their idea of "feminine" and/or b) your use as a childbearing, you are an unwoman, and as bad (to them) as any Trans person. If any person is not safe from this crap, no one is.

This is the context of JK Rowling putting a survivor of rape or sexual assault on blast for having the gall to seek help

J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling Replying to @salltweets We had it when we set up Beira's Place, too. I am a woman with PCOS and have a full beard, will you still let me come for rape counselling?' one man told a support worker over the phone, in his bass baritone. Strangely, on learning he was being recorded, he hung up.

Find potential job in a place where spouse can probably transfer, in a less Red state, with things we enjoy nearby and halfway between the extended families...discover it's in Colorado District 4...currently represented by Boebert... 🤮
