There's a new conservative study purporting to prove that abortion medication is dangerous. Let's talk about why it's horseshit. To start, it's published by a conservative think tank, not peer-reviewed, and contradicts decades of credible research showing mifepristone is safe

I learned tonight that someone I broke up with due to uneasy vibes and red flags a year ago is maybe less of a “needs therapy and some confidence” type of person and more of a “there’s a mass alert system for people’s safety when they cross state lines” type of person.

It is tempting to regard fascism as a mass psychosis brought on by this or that disorder in society, but like any other political movement, it is the result of tireless organizing, gradual basebuilding, and careful strategizing

Anyone who tries to dunk on child abusers by spreading the footage of their child being abused gets an instant block from me. I don’t care what your caption says, you are voluntarily participating and spreading that child’s humiliation and pain like their abusers wanted and you need to fuck off.

As someone who grew up in it, let me tell you that it is absolutely a cult and the end-goal ultimately is to monopolize political power in order to control everyone. Any pushback against their control is 'persecution' That is evangelical christianity.

A great indicator of how much I hate school is that I have now read 7 books this month, a rate I have not otherwise achieved in probably 5 years 😬

I really really want to stress that novovax is the covid vaccine preferred by a lot of people in the disability advocacy space. Disability advocates have pushed hard to maintain access for this vaccine that's not as well known as Moderna or Pfizer, but is better tolerated by a lot of people

North Korea on Monday acknowledged for the first time that it has sent soldiers to fight in Moscow’s war against Ukraine, hailing the “excellent soldiers” for their “heroic feats” in Russia’s Kursk region. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

The left doesn’t actually need to make every decision based on what the voters currently support or what is currently possible. The conservatives in power enacted their extremely unpopular ideas over decades of chipping away at norms and building coalitions. You can just believe in things!

Can we not misuse the term Luddite? The Luddites were not ignorant of technology or against its use. They were against the use of exploitative technology. LLMs are an exploitative technology, so the parallel works, to some extent, just not in the way OP seems to think.

I think self-described liberals were far more attached to re-imagining abolish ICE and defund the police as “slogans” from nowhere with no constituency, suffering from poor messaging, and not grounded political demands that they simply opposed

ICE is now asserting it's a federal crime for bystanders to request that masked people in plain clothes show identification as they're handcuffing folks and stuffing them into unmarked vans.

I believe in this so hard I also believe in the converse: if you know a little stuff and are talking to someone who knows a lot about that stuff, you should also make a real effort to take the opportunity to learn more from them!

a lot of people are assuming foul play, but I want folks to realize just how much surviving sexual abuse increases the chance of suicide and other awful things that prematurely end one's life.

I love that of those among my fundie church/homeschool community who deconstructed, 4 of us have left the state (3 for new countries entirely) but all of us (every one of whom still have family back there) agree the only thing we actually miss is this one specific coffee shop, lol.

It’s already tough to stay in touch with my grandparents (due to, you know, the evil conservatism and absence of shared life experiences/ contexts) but if I’m being honest the main holdup is the time difference. My caffeine finally kicks in right as I know they’re headed to lunch back in Arizona :P

I have two things to say about the judge being arrested by the FBI. 1. Obstructing immigration is illegal but also morally correct. 2. I don’t believe a word the FBI or ICE says. They are lying. The judge is innocent.

After years of bad ARFID I’ve suddenly started having days of ravenous hunger and cravings and it’s WEIRD. Today for dinner I ate ice cream followed by tofu fried rice followed by a cheese and pepper spread sandwich and I’m going “mmm, want peanut butter….” HUH??

something I really appreciate about Pascal is that he's using his position - which is very secure, he's hugely successful and they're not going to throw away a bunch of money firing him - to be this outspoken it's important that everyone speak out on trans rights but especially big names

the most sexual look a man can have is cutoff jean shorts so short you can see the pockets hanging out, and also they have been washed so many times that the fringe is like an inch long and has never been trimmed back. there is powerful virility in this look.
