There’s something really disturbing to me about the way the media, and indeed her own mother, continue to talk about Brianna Ghey - a constant focus on publicising her mental health, as if she’d committed suicide, and never focusing on the transphobia that actually led to her horrific murder.

Amy Edmondson found that the best hospital teams made MORE mistakes than average teams.
Except they didn't. They just felt safe enough to report them.
If your staff aren't flagging problems, it's not because everything's fine. It's because they don't feel safe speaking up.

At this point I do sincerely believe this anti phone and social media drive is rooted in the "social contagion" idea of being trans. They do not think she died because she used her phone, they think she died because people in her phone convinced her she was a girl.
Phones did not murder Brianna Ghey in cold blood.

Say what you will about kings but they used to die in hilariously gory ways. We haven't seen a proper traditional slapstick death in a long time, it's mostly boring old age instead of getting stabbed by an assassin hiding in the toilet while taking a shit and not being noticed til they began to rot

i think comparing vote blue no matter who type democrat stans to sport fans isn't especially apt because if a sports team's GM was always making the roster worse on purpose in an attempt to win over fans of their most bitter rival, that man would be killed

Is it good when a major international news organization is actively soliciting stories about people leaving your country because the government has fucked it so hard?
Tell us: are you a New Zealander planning to leave the country?

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Chris Hipkins misrepresented what Tamatha Paul said. She knew exactly what she was talking about.
Hipkins crossed a major line when he did that. He should have made it right earlier. Now he NEEDS to make it right.

If you look at the way women/NB folks are treated by men in every sphere - politics, media, police, health, it’s clear that misogyny is, as Kate Manne describes,"the law enforcement branch of the patriarchal order.”
Until men can say out loud that it’s deliberate, the headlines will stay the same.

There was a massive culture problem in the police in 1989. There's clearly still one today. Hard to know where to start when really bad judgement at the low end and pretty vile criminal behaviour at the other seems to keep popping up in senior police ranks.
