⚠️TW: EDs Timely article about how the brief mainstream moment for body positivity is being crushed by the rise - once again - of aspirational thinness, and the link between promoting feminine skinniness and right wing conservative values and movements. Never ends. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

everybody self-censors. i would argue that straight white guy's only self-censoring at 43% is actually far lower than the rest of us. as for the 'losing job opportunities due to their race and gender' well, i mean, of course they would say that. they think they're the best candidates ever.

When I was a kid, it was a criminal act to be gay. It wasn’t until I was 23 being gay was decriminalised. Getting books that reflected your life was almost impossible. As you see now, it was the booksellers* who ensured LGBTQ ppl could find themselves.

one thing we are seeing very clearly is that the public does not like "masked goons kidnapping people off the streets" as a general policy and if the reconciliation bill passes, it's hard to overstate how much money they have allocated to exactly that things are going to get very ugly

This is what we've wrought with the myth of meritocracy. By treating billions as a proxy for brilliance, we've allowed men like Peter Thiel to amass disgusting amounts of wealth and to leverage that wealth to destroy democracy for their own gain.

this is not why the bbc dropped the documentary. this is the excuse they gave. the absurd pretence. i wish we had a news media class in this country that understood their role in society.

🧵 It fascinates me how we all look roughly the same, but are instantly identifiable. For instance these are two lads who posed for me but look quite similar. One is an essay in light & shadow, the other in emotion! [1]

The story of LGBT rights is a story of advances followed by setbacks followed by media with no skin in the game saying, "It's because you were too loud/asked for too much/moved too fast/got too big for your britches/didn't make your case." That never changes--but happily it's never the last word.
