it's because the notion that child sexual abuse is some uniquely taboo universally reviled übercrime for which men can easily get their lives/careers ruined is a myth and always has been. it's always been tacitly permitted, winked at, ignored, excused, and downplayed across all sectors of society.
Maybe it's my Autism Brain or whatever, but I don't really get why anyone who had access to this stuff wouldn't have splashed these horrific revelations literally everywhere the second you knew about them. Take these fuckers down.

Everyone already knew because multiple victims have come forward to tell us over the span of decades, at astronomic risk to themselves and with incredible courage. Behind nearly every new “revelation” about someone’s involvement w/ Epstein is a victim’s account that was made public 5+ years ago.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

i wish i could convince myself to hope that maybe, just maybe, THIS time people will finally admit that sexual violence is *political violence*, is a political and social structure, is a technology of oppression, not a private, basically forgivable transgression. but i really can't fool myself
The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

Esther Ghey's actions are the reason I just had a conversation with my siblings and fiancee, instructing them to ban my parents from any future funeral or memorial in my honour, along with anyone else using any kind of rationalisation to deadname me.
Brianna Ghey was not murdered for being Esther Ghey's daughter, and Esther locating the problem of her daughter being murdered by radicalised cis kids in her daughter being trans is a result of her class loyalty. She simply wants to prevent kids from being trans. She gets no more grace from me.

i think the most sick thing about govt going all in on Esther's phone shit after her daughter was murdered in a crime which had not nothing to do with phones
... is that I spoke to Brianna's friends. On Tiktok. They were everything to her - you want to take that away from other kids like Brianna?

Do you not think it's bizarre to have strangers on the internet decide they know better than Brianna's own loved ones on what is or isn't insulting to her memory?
I've got no time for Rosie Duffield, but she turned up at a drop-in event in Parliament and that's been the limit of her involvement.

99.9% of the time when someone says "ultra-processed foods" what they really mean is "the kinds of foods I assume fat, unhealthy poor people eat, and to which I ascribe blame for their fatness and ill-health, because I believe they are stupid and have no self-control."

[nsfw sex ed] people writing/drawing tgirl erotica tip: perineum is woefully neglected as "flap of skin between the bits and the hole" when you should in fact consider it part of the genital complex. only reason it isn't is because heterosexuality constructs bodily sex out of primacy of reproduction

all i'm saying is that if someone who wasn't a loser got the death note, it wouldnt be "criminals" having mysterious "heart attacks" it would be billionaires having mysterious shitting-themselves-to-death
if the death note existed irl it would inevitably fall into the hands of some cop-brained weapons-grade loser like light yagami who thinks "eliminating criminals" is the path to a virtuous society.
note: not me tho. i would be responsible with the death note.

I hope future generations recognize how quickly and strangely the contours of what counts as a political scandal changed for this president.
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?
TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is
O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.
TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

"'Mean Girls' is a forcefemme story where someone who's insufficiently female-socialized infiltrates a group of women to deceive them and ruin their lives"
Rewatching 'Mean Girls' is fun because you keep finding new things to go "WHAT?!" at.
Like what do you mean Janis casually uses 'ax-wound' as an insult?! And Regina keeps saying the r-word?!
Anyway Tina Fey is super weird about women of color

OpenAI’s Atlas promises AI-powered convenience. The price? Letting ChatGPT track and store “memories” of what you do online.

don't worry if you think your analysis of a work is completely ridiculous or off the mark or out there. it's better to read an interesting interpretation of a work that one hasn't considered before rather than just a shallow engagement with it!
