There was a brief but weird trend at my high school of girls wearing lizards as earrings. Like. Live, unharmed, wild lizards. You just catch one and pick it up and wave a finger a bit and then hold it to your earlobe and they’ll bite and dangle all day. I do not recommend this but. it was a thing

On the one hand, this parking lot has a 10 MPH speed limit. On the other hand, was this fire hydrant even wearing hi-viz?

Tobacco giants knew their products caused cancer.
Oil companies knew their products cause climate change.
Social media companies know their products facilitate abuse of minors
Seeing a pattern? It’s not a few bad actors it’s a feature of a system that rewards profit at any cost

Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

It's so very hard. For myself, I find it very hard to stay silent in the face of any injustice, and I expect much of that is true for most people.
And we grew up, many of us, in a time where silence equaled assent, silence equaled death.
So it's a bug exploit for evil in modernity.

My first published story was in The Western Producer in 1985.
It took 40 years, but this is my best sentence:

As a psych grad student I had a serial harasser on my dissertation committee, who I removed from my committee as soon as I heard about it. I was strongly advised to not do this because I was told he would retaliate against me and blacklist me as much as he could. I did it on principle & bc--
My wife was sexually harassed by Miles Hewstone as a phd student. He was still asked to review her (and other women he harassed) for jobs and promotions. This is so fucked up.
Thankfully, she and many other women testified against him and something was finally done. This is her take on his case:

I don’t know if the bombings and blackouts just made me numb or if I’ve achieved enlightenment but I finally feel free to say everything I think about westerners and not be afraid of how they take it
