"'It’s not as if men’s sport is getting 10% more of the funding than women’s sport,' says Mumford. 'It’s usually 90% of funding.' Imagine how much better women athletes could perform if they were given access to the degree of training and resources those dollars can buy." via @themeteor.bsky.social

Last week on UNDISTRACTED, @mspackyetti.bsky.social sat down with @shannonrwatts.bsky.social, the founder of @momsdemand.bsky.social, to talk about what *actually* works when it comes to movement-building and what we can learn from the fight for gun reform.

"The manosphere won’t go down without a weird, gross fight… But that’s all the more reason to double down on creating an alternative.” @shannonrwatts.bsky.social on our need for a womansphere. wearethemeteor.com/break-up-wit...

My new piece for @themeteor.bsky.social‬⁩: “Unlike the manosphere, which thrives online by feeding anger and fear, I’m advocating for real, face-to-face relationships that foster compassion and collaboration. The womansphere won’t just build ideas, but bonds.”

"You can’t rewrite a statute with a Sharpie,” says Amalea Smirniotopoulos of the NAACP’s Legal Defense Fund on Trump's DEI orders. Denying someone a job on the basis of race or gender is STILL ILLEGAL. There may be resistance, but you still have rights.

"Overriding the Fifth Amendment for a vast number of people is not a sensible way to protect women from being murdered." – Shannon Melero

Day 2 feels like the time to re-up the post below, with some additional tips from when @samhita.bsky.social interviewed me for @themeteor.bsky.social in July (scan to end).
