One of the deepest lessons of Parable of the Sower is that change is inevitable and at any given time, we are never going back to the time before. MAGA is very literally about denying that essential truth, and unfortunately the same sort of denial has been animating Dems since at least 2020

i’m sorry, i’m tired of this shit. there was no pronoun policing. i have encountered exactly three or four land acknowledgments in like ten years, and the most you’ll hear about “intersectionality” is in liberal nonprofits. this is just freefloating resentment masquerading as analysis.

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

It is truly fucking wild how the introductory thesis of this argument is, "As we all know, men will find any loophole they can to be sex criminals and degenerates. My primary source on this is me, a degenerate."

Don't use AI. Just stop. NO, not even for "good" reasons. If you don't give af about the fact it's built on stolen work (hey, mine are among the millions of works ripped off, btw), care about the devastating environmental impacts, the financial impacts. It's all bad.

Even if you don’t watch the show English Teacher, hope you'll read this. This is about more than 1 show, 1 guy. FX just renewed a show from a man facing allegations of assault. I have a LOT of questions about the implications not just for FX but for the whole industry www.salon.com/2025/02/12/f...

Additional scripts for cis het white men who want to be better allies: “What a weird thing to say” “Do you hear yourself right now?” “You shouldn’t say shit like that to people” “I won’t let you talk to them that way” “That’s a disgusting opinion to have” “Shut the fuck up, dude”

Friends of mine were out of town when the fire took their home. Their cats are still missing. They're aware of the resources, but obviously everyone is overwhelmed. Please keep an eye out for Scout (female tortoiseshell) & Moxie (female orange tabby), last seen in Altadena before the fire. Thanks.

Neil Gaiman shouldn’t be treated like an extreme outlier. It’s not fame or following that enables men like Gaiman to act the way they do. It’s power. And power can be A-list celebrity status or it can be the head of any ordinary household or a leader in any local community.
