The Screaming Mouse

Got suspended for the funniest reason

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

It isn't misandrist to want men to stop raping women and communicate loudly that they should stop. It is misogynist to want women to stop communicating their desire not to be raped because it radicalizes some men into supporting and voting for rapists.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

The only reason not to bring a beverage to a job interview is because weird self-important assholes like this guy are the ones in charge of you getting a job. There is no logical reason otherwise.

The Shadman situation should tell you everything about Oney and his crew that you need to know. That’s all I’ll say on the current state of affairs when it eventually spreads to here.

Everyone wants to publish: "Why I hate the democrats (negative)" and no one wants to publish me when I say "Why I hate the democrats (positive because they're right wing and I hate that)"

Bsky is remarkable because you can see a dumb news article, think “no way anyone behaves like that, only a jackass could care about this” and then some dude you’ve never heard of with a blue check and 150k followers will post “it’s me I’m jackass”

you guys broke watergate

For any candidates who might be listening (doubtful); I’m a 65 year old cis white guy and I will *never* vote for anyone who denies trans people basic human rights. Never. It’s not a purity test, it’s a humanity test. Fuck your harm reduction theories.

Awesome, so we can afford it for the really bad anti-trans ones to lose then.

One thing that encourages me is that despite individual Democrats capitulating on trans rights, I think if the polling holds, we will elect the most pro-trans congress and senate in US history.

A very pretty gesture! Anyway, the NYPD is arresting dozens of people peacefully protesting Netanyahu’s presence in New York City as we speak. Mamdani has refused to replace pro-genocide, oligarch police commissioner Jessica Tisch, instead saying that her work aligns with his vision.

Planting an olive tree with Palestinian families is a lovely gesture, but you explicitly said you would not join the protests against Netanyahu while he’s in New York. Why not?

I made this film in 2021. Gizmo is dead

Now do Amy Acton. I want to also say, Equality Ohio and other progressive dem orgs weakness on holding Amy Acton’s feet to the fire is what lead to Marcy Kaptur feeling emboldened to proceed with her own anti-trans ad.

i don't think they bought it, i think they were attempting to manufacture it

The media helped construct this. They wanted a solution to MeToo and thought they could normalize the behaviors all the top brass were guilty of. It used to work for them when TV was the main form of connection between everyone, now the internet is and the lies are more apparent than ever.

It’s for these exact reasons that the Democrats will promote him above all other candidates.

they're not clueless or misled or anything, they are being paid to do what they are doing. "winning" for their donor class is not winning elections, it is maintaining the status quo, which means aiming for a political deadlock where no ambitious policies can be enacted

Dear God, Will Stancil fans are doing the 4d chess thing now. Get me out of this hellish country.

Trans rights or we all enjoy the camps

Liberalism continues to walk into the open arms of fascism on a road paved with decorum

I like how she asks his name again, like that answer wasn’t in the script

It's important to remind readers that while there are a few anti-trans dems, many are doing great work. Spanberger in VA did not flinch at anti-trans attacks. Now, she just ended Governor Youngkin's infamous rule that would ban trans students from bathrooms. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Just wanted to remind everyone that it won’t kill you to admit that you’re wrong, accept the possibility of being wrong, or to simply say “I don’t know.” This is what you turn into if you’re incapable of such things. Every time.

Sometimes my feed is just: [amazing art] looking for work [goated resume] looking for work [great writing] looking for work [banger music] looking for work Dave Slutbutt, CEO of Game Dev, has laid off 9000 people to buy a 4th house in Bora Bora. [industry veteran] looking for work

if you give up your morality in pursuit of power why the fuck should i trust you in power

I fucking hate "I don't take sides" people, which is just siding with the oppressor and hoping you'll have plausible deniability. You're not apolitical, you're not neutral, you're just doing this:

I'm losing patience. If a candidate was anti choice and women couldn't talk themselves into voting for them, or a candidate was pro segregation and Black people wouldn't vote for them, this would not perplex you so. Trans people losing steam over a candidate's anti trans remarks is the same thing.

The guy who helped kick Macklemore off Ed Sheeran’s tour was charged with soliciting prostitution, got those charges dropped with the help of Epstein’s lawyer, is a longtime friend of Trump, has taken NFL players on propaganda trips to Israel, and received a special $1 million award from Netanyahu.

This passage from One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This can be applied

"unflinching support" "the trans community's policy priorities, such as allowing athletes to compete on teams that match their gender identity" we are being gaslit to death

this shit does not work on me. go try it on the centrists who call trans women "biological men."

when a progressive politician in the US refuses to engage with culture war nonsense and sticks to the issues in an interview you get people saying "centrist dems, take note! here's how you answer this question" & yeah they already know sadly. they like the right-wing setting the agenda

I've written about anti-trans Dems and how cis ppl should respond repeatedly over the last few weeks. I have multiple threads recommending this action by BHF. Some have taken to yelling at trans ppl who lash out in pain and grief and betrayal. That's not helpful. This is.

Idk, I’d probably think back on this image and laugh
