This guide by Heather Corinna has existed in a few iterations since the late 1990s and is an incredible resource that clarifies what rape is and isn't, and provides in-depth information about what to do if you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted. www.scarleteen.com/read/abuse...

ok its time for the feelings post: folks the show Strip Law comes out tomorrow on Netflix i never thought id get my own thing to show everyone what i think is funny. i spent the last 2.5ish years (along with tons of other creatives to be lauded later) putting my entire being into this show...

I don’t understand why we are not allowed to try to kill them when they are trying so hard to kill our friends and family and loved ones.

"tapering plans" for HRT is a death sentence if you've had gender-affirming surgeries, like I have with my orchi, because your body will just wither away and die without hormones. Unspeakable evil. Demonic shit. You don't hate these motherfuckers enough.

Immigrants can teach us how to fight dictators: "Myrla Baldonado became one of the “forced disappearances” under Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr., in 1983. She was kidnapped by state agents, swept away to a secret location, tortured, and then imprisoned for two years." And yet:

We talk about this a lot on DP and in our book but “waste fraud and abuse” as a rhetorical formulation really has done untold damage both in politics at large and to people’s actual lives/material conditions. The only way forward is to excise this thinking from our politics bsky.app/profile/tbla...

Absolute fuckery happening in Texas courts - Prairieland Judge orders mistrial due to too many possible anti-ICE jurors - Judge orders everyone back & says he will be the one to conduct jury selection - judge limits opening statements to 8 min - no crying or looking at anyone in your family

What if we do it for fun because fuck them? Like obviously this is transparently dumb and wrong, it will work and is ethically appropriate, but even if neither of those things are true, let’s do it anyway because fuck them.

@taylorlorenz.bsky.social has been on fire explaining why Section 230 is important for everyone who wants an internet that is more than just five sites controlled by big tech.

I say no. If someone is behaving in a way that feels non-flirty to them but is interpreted that way by someone else, that’s the other person misinterpreting. Flirting requires intention. Otherwise it’s just existing while charming and sexually attractive, which is not the same thing!

migraine came back, never met the goal, motel has been v understanding but they can only give me so long, now at: 🚨‼️ $133/1200 (bc new week) for overdue motel due asap (+ $75 for meds/food - haven’t eaten since Sunday!) rly drowning atp so anything and everything helps 🥲 ko-fi.com/katiwithoutt...

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

WE’RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER HELL YEAH BROTHER

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Y'all. I been in here screaming laughing for the last 15 mins! Rest well, Rev. Jackson ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾😂

Not everything is for me! It’s fine & good for me to not be able to fully understand what the fuck 19 year olds on the internet are talking about! Also I think language use is fundamentally fun & cool, & crabbing about slang is extremely old person behavior. What’s next? Bitching about contractions?

I wish I had even a tiny scrap of optimism about this issue left in my heart but I sincerely believe that the current leadership of the Dems will absolutely NEVER do anything but pop their pussies for imaginary moderate conservatives/ultra rich donors while blaming the left for their election losses

Two decades after a small Duke breast cancer vaccine trial, every participant is still alive — a rare outcome for metastatic disease. When researchers looked closer, they found the women’s immune systems still carried “memory” cells that recognised the cancer. buff.ly/MNeRhJh #ShareGoodNewsToo

I'm gonna toss in a sweetener here because Valentine's Day sucked and I need a pick-me-up. TONIGHT ONLY: if you make a donation to/buy a membership for @51st.news tonight - of any amount - not only will I match it, but I will send $50 to a good cause in Minneapolis (TBD, but it'll be legit).

What could go wrong using AI to help stage a few listing photos?

The Democratic Party is so horny for losing they’re getting a head start on a being boned up for a loss that is still years away.

You cannot claim to be restructuring city government while silencing the voices of the people. As I began to speak to the charter commission tonight on its stalled police accountability reforms, they cut the mic. Watch the moment the Commission chose bureaucracy over the community. (1/3)

“Please enjoy the museum”: Relooted is OUT NOW! Please share!

Hey y'all. A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews. Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

hi, so @leftie-diskaurs.bsky.social and i and a few others are helping karen not have to sleep outside in these past few days. i have known karen for more than a decade and she is so funny and knowledgeable. no one should have to sleep outside!

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy. Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

URGENT AID REQUEST A sublet is being held for me(!) but i dont yet have funds to cover rent for it + my storage unit (still applying for jobs) if folks could help & share, it’d go a long way to keeping me housed thru winter! There is an immediate goal (by Saturday) and overall goal (before Feb)💚

the woke mob is giving He-man pronouns

There have also been some amendments to the original inclusion criteria. - There is no limit on the duration of a participant's LC. - People taking LDN will now be eligible to participate. - People with ADHD are now eligible to participate if they are not taking stimulants - Maximum age is now <70

Recruitment is still ongoing and has expanded now to 18 sites across the country, including UCSF, Stanford, Mt. Sinai, Yale, Mayo Clinic, and more. A couple more sites are still coming - but if you have LC and are near one, check out the details here: addresslongcovid.com/sites/

the president wont see your posts making fun of how he's looking these days but your friends whose skin seems to be sloughing off in wet discolored chunks as the psychic weight of their craven wretchedness becomes manifest will

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

This week, you'll finally be able to play the magnificent Perfect Tides: Station to Station. But first, you should listen to this interview with the game's creator @meredithgran.com about the rise of memoir games, recreating the lost NYC of 2003, and, of course, Ecks vs. Sever. Spoiler-free!
