Whenever I see men post this I think about how when women are lonely, it's not pitied. It's used to chastise them for not being nicer to men. Meanwhile, when men are experiencing a "loneliness epidemic" they decide the answer is *also* that women should be nicer to men.

"Almost a quarter of women aged 18 to 24 voted Green last July, roughly double the number of young men who voted Reform" Feeling seen by @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social analysis of GenZ women like me voting Green because we "can’t understand why nobody seems to care" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is completely fucking outrageous.

The thing about privilege: you can always see your background as poor and disadvantaged if you are oblivious to people with less than you and resolved to fit in with people with more than you. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

A new study from the RAND Corporation finds that $79 TRILLION was taken from the bottom 90% of the country. America’s problem is not a lack of “abundance.” America’s problem is oligarchs hoarding the abundance for themselves while everyone else suffers. www.levernews.com/abundance-is...

I've lost track of how many times I've watched this already 😂

The chutzpah of the Tories and Labour to dare try saying @greenparty.org.uk ideas for a more equal society are "unworkable." My response:

Funnily enough, this very good piece calling for a "green economic populism" (by @triofrancos.bsky.social & @aldasky.bsky.social) came out just when we submitted ours on the need for "climate populism": www.nytimes.com/2025/01/07/o... We are all living in the same conjuncture, I guess..
