I am a physics student, just shooting for the moon and hoping I hit the stars (not mars). I love reading and writing as a passion (not just a hobby) and would love to publish someday. I love my husband who is actually the coolest teacher in the world.
Sexual assault is so common that I have to assume any man who complains about it or blames victims is guilty of it. Anyone who uses one false accusation to question us. Anyone who asks why she didn't report or requires a criminal conviction. I just assume you're guilty.

youtube.com/shorts/bteZ2... It's a blessing to know what you do and do not have control of. I would also add that if you don't enjoy your life and try to find happiness in dark times, then when it is all threatened you won't know what to fight for, and so very likely you won't fight at all.

"Many people prefer to believe the brutes and the sadists are responsible, largely because they are not like 'us,'" writes @omerbartov.bsky.social. "But modern genocide is the product of the technocrats, bureaucrats and cold planners of extermination, who don’t get their hands dirty."

It’s easier to blame brutes and sadists for extreme violence. But as we see in the documentary, modern genocides are fueled by people who are uncomfortably recognizable

“We are enforcing the nation’s laws. Why is that controversial?” The Fugitive Slave Act. The Three-Fifths Compromise. The Nuremberg Laws. Dred Scott. The Indian Removal Act. The Law for Protection of German Blood. Anti-miscegenation laws. The Defense of Marriage Act. The Reichstag Fire Decree.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 3d agoMullin began the press conference by saying "We are enforcing this nation's laws. Why is it controversial? Why would that be controversial?" As if all of human history doesn't show that laws and their enforcement can be very controversial (e.g., the 1765 Stamp Act and its impact on U.S. history).
While the 911 calls we obtained may be difficult to listen to, they offer a glimpse into a place reporters cannot access. And they show failures in responding to mental health and medical emergencies in a place where three people died over six weeks.

Now that phase one of @hcrichardson.bsky.social's wonderful "250 to 250" project has wrapped, I'll share all videos (one per day) for which I wrote scripts. Some were recorded nearly word for word; others underwent much-needed editing for clarity and brevity. Today: the 1970 shooting at Kent State.

The French police are so militarized they blew up a 15-yr-old’s hand and took the eye of another one. Why are grenades being used to quell student protestors who are unarmed? Now the labour unions are stepping in to protect the students
FUCK YES. This is the energy, morality, and courage that I expect from leaders. Unbelievably brave.

Reducing education to "jobs! jobs! jobs!" is how you end up with a bunch of mining industry executives on the board for your humanities programme, dismantling it from within.
4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.
As a surprise to no one who cares and has been paying attention........ fuck.
Mike Stabile@mikestabile.bsky.social · last wk.The religious right is steadily expanding its definition of what is sexual — and restricting what it deems acceptable in public spaces. Tech companies, in want of less oversight, are taking the hint. The deplatforming that started with sex workers / kink / trans has come for gay bars.

youtube.com/shorts/8b22n... Our problems are far more varied and greater than just Trump and his ilk. The status quo we had before fascism was rather fascist too, and we need to be ready to pull together and fight beyond Trump. 10s of 1000s of ppl in the streets of Spain for 1 evicted woman.

I will never forgive conservatives for letting kids die for their rights but refuse to stand and fight and risk dying for their rights themselves. I will NEVER forgive them.
