If you ever needed a clearer proof that the "I would die to protect women but they won't make me a sandwich" script is utter bullshit... 50+ men were HANDED the PERFECT chance to be the Knight in Shining Armor with zero risk to themselves. And to a man, they failed. Catastrophically.

Scroll up to the top. Good advice for cis men about challenging Unsafe Men in your social spaces. Also, see righttobe.org for intervention training. Many sessions are free and online. Take one because it all begins with having a plan. Practice on your own so you’re ready when it’s needed.

Read this whole thread, and understand that the world women move in is entirely different than the one men do. And it’s even more so for women who are multiply marginalized, by race, disability, living in a war zone, being trans, etc.

I managed to mostly not know any of this until today. This detail is new to me. The horror coursing through my body feels like poison. My God, men. Decide RIGHT FUCKING NOW what you'll do if a woman is sexually harassed or assaulted in your vicinity. Ask another man to do the same. TALK ABOUT IT.

If you can help Charlotte with a bit of #MutualAid, please do!

As I am still looking for work, I'm sorry I must fundraise for Sept rent. If you know of any jobs in PDX that will not physically break my body (bad knee + shoulder) please let me know. Thank you. paypal.me/kivabay cashapp $kivabay ko-fi.com/kivabay/goal... #mutualaid #MAboost #helpsky #MADboost

if you watch it you tell WB to keep making more Potter stuff and you show them that directly funding JKR’s transphobia, that she LITERALLY uses to strip trans women’s rights away, is not a dealbreaker how could i ever feel safe around someone who buys her the boots she uses to step on my neck?

Personally, I thought it was a bit formulaic.

Every time someone is like "prison abolition? but what about RAPISTS" bitch we have basically abolished prison for rapists as it IS, and we aren't even trying anything restorative or whatever

The ends of lines justify the margins.

Just because SCOTUS affirms a type of discrimination does not mean that discrimination is required. This decision should not cause us to weaken our efforts for trans inclusion in general or trans inclusion in sports in particular. Cis allies, you very specifically, need to double down.

We. Can. Build. A. World. Where. We. Do. Not. Mock. People’s. Physical. Appearance. (Or ability! Ahem!) This includes size. AND clothing choices. Hair. Makeup. Even, yes, body modifications. What matters, for the 28295282th time, is people's words & actions. What they say & do.

Name a song with sea, sand, or waves in the lyrics.

The Met Gala is the main fundraiser for the Costume Institute, the only division of the Met that has to fund itself. The CI's work has increased visibility of art *and labor* primarily for, by, and about women. Think about that when you choose to criticize *this* gala of all galas.

Two days ago, a discussion started with some observations about gender. Predictably, a man barged into the conversation to invalidate women’s expertise. He’s still arguing in that thread today! Men, he’s your mess. Please collect him.

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

Fun fact: Women's sports are segregated not to protect women, but to protect *men* from losing *to* a woman. Don't believe me? Look up Jackie Mitchell. Struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Then suddenly women were unfit to play baseball.

I don’t know if non-maskers know this, but when maskers see other maskers in the crowd, there’s a communication that frequently happens. You know you’ve found a safe person who isn’t going to treat you weirdly. It might be worth thinking about how ostracized maskers feel to need to look for that.

I have a dim memory from my childhood of a slogan that went, “What if they threw a war and nobody came?”

Wher ys the horse and the rydere? Wher ys the horne that was blowinge? Wher ys The Toast? Damn that was such an awesome websyte.

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

If you're a DC area bartender or related service industry worker and you hear govt./military people talking about the strikes on Iran, let me know what they're saying. I'm on signal at nslayton.12

Back in November, I applied for a contract job, no benefits, meh pay. Then the recruiter ghosted me. Turns out the company delayed filling the role, and now they’re opening it again. Only change is the pay is now 25% lower. And fuck me, I have to try to get this job. Fuck. Fuck. I hate this.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Seems like now is a good time to remind my fellow white people that intent does not erase impact. Regardless of why, using a racist slur causes harm. Acknowledge the harm and try to repair it.
