I'm just an American, but isn't "Nigel Farage might be racist" a horse that is 2,000 miles from the barn at this point?

I am sincerely, on every level, the exact audience for this - a basic white bitch who loves Christmas at both Starbucks AND Target in the most bougie suburban mom-coded way - but they will not be seeing my money for this smug little anti-woke collab

i challenge anyone to go and read, say, 10 randomly selected vaginoplasty recovery diaries and not conclude that trans women receive "women's health care"

Child marriage is heinous, but one thing I never see brought up in those discussions is that if you are under 18, you cannot file for divorce. If you are under 18 and married to an adult, they are your legal guardian and make decisions for you. That is not a partnership.

matt yglesias' primary claim about politics is that to win elections, democrats should adopt the strategy which has given starmer a 13% approval rating in the UK

The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.

From a reddit post discussing ICE moving into Charlotte

The reason most people are unfamiliar with the distinction between pedophilia and hebephilia is because most people aren't pedophiles.

"With the suspending of Patton Oswalt's account, Bluesky is sending the strong message that no one is above the terms of service unless you're a fifth-string columnist who only attacks trannies anyway and we don't really consider them people."

Seriously, a lot of these heavyhanded mod decisions would be a lot easier to swallow if y'all hadn't specifically carved a little circle out of your ToS for a truly harmful transphobe to stand in.

I don't think it's my "most woke", but... No borders. People are meant to move around and see each other and meet and work together, and the only real core function of immigration and customs law that I see is "enabling exploitation"

Finding out about this was upsetting. There was a time where I went to this little river beach multiple times a week. I still didn't even realize how much of a boiled frog I was till I left and could breathe.

For my newsletter, I wrote a little about how there seems to be a recent rash of trans people taking their own lives. Please take care of yourselves this holiday season, I promise you that there are people who want to help you if you're struggling. www.burnsnotice.com/if-youre-tra...

Wait, what is the deal with transfemmes and backgrounds in academic philosophy? It seems disproportionate to the size of the two populations.

Random musing on detransition narratives

Forgive me if I don't believe that it's sex in media and gay and trans people who are corrupting and destroying children considering the source is the "borderline illiterate pedophiles club"

Trump’s first nominee for Attorney General of the United States

If you go to Starbucks, get your coffee elsewhere. In this capitalist hellscape, the only thing that companies care about is money

Someone get this lady a job!

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

For my newsletter, I talked about the proposed teenage phone restrictions in the name of a murdered teenage trans girl. (Noted this twice in the piece but again, I have no issue with Esther Ghey) www.burnsnotice.com/brianna-ghey...

couple statements so my beliefs are clear: - if you decide you’re trans, then you’re trans. - neopronouns & xenogenders are hella cool. - everyone should be able to get HRT if they want. - you don’t need to medically transition or have dysphoria to be trans. - liberation not assimilation.

hes been systematically doing it to austin since his first day as governor

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

ALL THE OTHERS deserve so much fucking worse. And one of them is President of the United States. Oh and speaking of which, Trump is demanding the SCOTUS invalidate his civil judgement for rape that E. Jean Carroll got.

Today is the publication day for WITHOUT CONSENT, a book I am so proud to share with the world, and that the New York Times Book Review says "is years — decades — overdue." Read more, and order in your preferred format from your favorite retailer here: www.sarahweinman.com/book/without...

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

As is customary in Seattle, Katie Wilson is wearing the honorary mayoral election race leader hat, which has been passed down through the generations.

People are so so so so so so so so aggressive about pushing meat on you when you say you're foregoing. I'm not especially pushy about my practice either. I tend to not demand non-meat options in places, and just make sure I've taken care of myself.

actually, you know what picketing outside the churchgoing senators’ churches would probably really really really make them uncomfortable free idea to a good home

I can't tell you how many interviews I've done where I've been asked: If Trump's policies are so problematic, why are U.S. stocks rising so rapidly. A bit of international context illustrates the real issue here. U.S. stocks have dramatically underperformed other advanced economies.

it's all fun and games until someone threatens our moderate senators' precious vacation travel

Lots of people comparing Senate Democrats to Charlie Brown trying to kick the football, but that analogy only works in a version where Lucy has told Charlie Brown she's going to pull it away, and also that afterwards she's going to have Snoopy executed in a foreign prison

New Hampshire, hit the phones! Virginia, make the calls! Nevada, you know how to do it! #NewHampshire #Virginia #Nevada

I can’t hear you even though you’re not muted Have you tried checking your default input Sometimes a device gets wedged in there And then we can get back To discussing all the important things

they had us physics majors read the double helix in college as a "culture of science" thing.... um, the mysogyny was enough for that transfeminine egg that its all I remember about that book twenty years later. fuck that guy

literally hung out with a herd of critter queers last night at a t4t forest rave it’s a thing & it’s gonna be big

to paraphrase kai cheng thom, I don't want a world where trans people are sent to gender appropriate prisons, i want a world without prisons

Until we confront this we cannot hope to build a healthy democracy.

"An Oklahoma community is outraged after a teen from a prominent local family was relieved of a decades-long prison sentence despite several convictions for rape and assault charges, per local reports."

trying to figure out if pluribus is a metaphor for communal effort or a metaphor for ChatGPT.

Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

Seattle, if you want Wilson to win, here's a great chance to help her out!
