The obsession with making elections a referendum on Hassan Piker reminds me of this
My “favourite” part is that they ended up disturbing some actual archeological burials, instead
Wow. That's cool. Wish you would bring this energy to anything that actually mattered. But good job I guess.
“Some suggest that men expand their horizons by somewhat valuing the ideas and stories of women authors. But Real Men can’t relate to all those Lady Feelings. Suggesting they try is basically violence against them. You *made* men hate books. YOU did that.” bsky.app/profile/yoad...
EXCUSE ME?
The next time I see A Man look at a book, I will run up and spray him in the face with a squirt bottle. "No!" I will yell, firmly and loudly, "books are for ladies!" Chastened, he will slink away, unbooked.
Girl please just transition, what the hell is this
Alright we're doing a new story comic.
So the official recommendation is for small businesses to replace male and female single lockable toilets with gender neutral single lockable toilets, thereby protecting women from the risk of being in a women's toilet on their own.
EHRC chair challenged on how to enforce single-sex toilet rules www.channel4.com/news/ehrc-ch...
Just in case you're thinking you could make ALL toilets gender neutral - no you can't! You can have gender-neutral toilets, but only when it makes virtually no difference. Sensible policy-making for a normal country.
Er. When, exactly, was this? To whom did it mean these other things? What did it mean to African people brought here as slaves? To enslaved people whose children were taken and sold? What did it mean to Native people as it pushed ever westward, pushing them before it?
Bot farms are already doing this.
...much of what I say reiterates points other writers have made about the scourge of LLMs & AI writing. but I don't think any of us (writers or general public) are prepared for how bad actors are about to wield false accusations against writers they dislike: juliaserano.medium.com/on-em-dashes...

This case is a terrifying reminder of the fact that being charged with a crime upends your life. Maria Rojas has had her midwifery license suspended, and the conditions of her bond prohibit her from working in healthcare in any capacity. Texas didn't just arrest her, they took away her livelihood.
“The problem is that there's a human being on the other end of whatever political point it is they're trying to make," said an attorney for Maria Rojas, the Texas midwife who is the first person to be prosecuted under the state's criminal abortion ban.
"egg fiction"? at these prices they might as well be!
social media is a public space and a social commons, like a city park. this is why when you go to the city park you are allowed to scream at strangers. this is also, interestingly enough, why they are NOT allowed to scream back. I don't know why I'm explaining this to you, we've all been to parks.
(Cisgender men slamming lots of steroids and then abusing women and trans people in their lives) "Hahaha that's gender affirming care"

Yuh I’m just gonna say it If I had a penny for every white transfeminist in academia who posted oh so valid very research criticisms of Talia id have at least three Still holding out for any of yall to reach out to Talia to, idk, collab, offer help, resources? guess internet points are worth more
My Response on Instagram to @saradotfeminism.bsky.social's criticism of @taliabhatt.itch.io. While Sara makes some valid points, I also think that she is somewhat unfair towards Talia. For once, I am strongly in favour of Talia's usage of the term "radical feminism".
A historically-extreme drought unearthing relics of an ancient evil force seems like the kind of portent the greeks or romans would've taken very seriously, and maybe we should too

That "men should be allowed, without judgement or consequence, to do an amount of harm to women and girls that I personally deem acceptable" seems to be a genuine opinion still held by too many people in the year two thousand and twenty six is incredibly grim
This is going to make it very difficult to know which sports we should ban them from.
Some avocados are female in the morning and male in the afternoon, while others are on the opposite schedule. This helps them avoid self-pollination. How do they do it? A @ucdavis.bsky.social study explains. www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/st...
A day in the life of Ukraine’s Odesa. Odesa is not just a seaside city—it is a vital lifeline for global food security. Russia’s relentless missile and drone strikes on Odesa’s ports are a deliberate attempt to starve developing nations and spark a worldwide food crisis.
It's not that women are "allowed" to be emotional, it's that we're expected to be emotional hysterical illogical irrational infantilized inferiors, and are commensurately dismissed, disregarded and dehumanized for it. That's not "permission". That's just misogyny and it is used to harm us.
"man it's genuinely astonishing how much men hate women. how men will literally murder women" "yeah, it's so sad how men are socially conditioned to have no choice but to murderously hate women. the alternative is being laughed at, after all"
sry to weigh in with my tboy anecdote but like ppl who believe this shit are being obtuse on purpose i s2fg. like as a gay trans man i never had a time ever where i thought i was a lesbian yet ppl just assumed and asserted i was a lesbian anyway. almost like there's a reason it's "LGBTQ"
"Trans women who like girls didn't get homophobic abuse when they were children because they were perceived as straight boys" I can see how a person would think that, but it sure wasn't my experience.
