the way transphobes have managed to reframe "childcare is women's work" not just as feminism, but as the only valid form of feminism is nauseating

Sonia Sodha is honestly on the wireless saying women are biologically better at rearing children than men. She found a single dad who agreed with her so it's all ok.

What Andrew was, and was not, arrested for is an interesting application of the Al Capone Theory (qz.com/1043588/the-...).
As depressingly usual, it's easier to arrest a powerful man for pretty much any kind of crime than a sex crime.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

When picking your ideal ‘cultural‘ mix, if you think England and Ireland are a united culture and you can’t even spell ‘Scots’, it suggests that your grasp of basic history and geography may be fundamentally flawed.
We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.
There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.
Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.
