Once you see it it becomes impossible not to notice the media consent-manufacutring machine that responds to literally every social crisis with the diagnosis that "women too free."
My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

I'm so glad I (narrowly) avoided having this guy's signature on my diploma, but Baylor is so disgusting for ever hiring him in the first place.
NEW: In emails sent in 2016 and 2018, former, Jeffrey Epstein lawyer and ousted Baylor U president Ken Starr sent "hugs" & "love" to Epstein. In one Starr defended the 2008 "sweetheart deal" NPA Epstein got.
"Jeffrey Epstein has paid his debt to society," Starr wrote.

Repression Queen by @imharperoneill.bsky.social was such a heavy read, but it's cathartic to learn about others who coped with dysphoria in a similar way to how I did while repressed. It was such an isolating experience at the time, and even now I feel weird talking about it.

It’s an uphill struggle getting people to accept that Christians can be bad people.
But the even harder truth that people urgently need to grasp in this time of Christofascism is that for some understandings of Christianity, to be a GOOD Christian is to be a BAD person.
Denial makes things worse

Five beatings of trans women have occurred in Seattle so far this year. The suspects have all been men. In at least one case, random men—strangers—have joined in on the attacks. Depraved shit.

So much if our current problems are tied up in a weird cult that continually thinks that all our long term crises are pointless bc human existence is going to get wrapped up within the next five years so why bother.

It's fascinating how, because the left is coded as feminine, criticism is "scolding," while all the shaming and blaming on the right is masculine and therefore not "scolding."

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

I'd like us to move past wondering how 10s of millions of Americans are morally empty people to an acknowledgement that this is they what they are, and that they are allowed or even incentivized to be that way, so we can grapple with what that implies about society and what is required to fix it.

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".
![One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.
Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.
House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.”
Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests?

House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7uvcqt45oqlutlrtgx7bpodq/bafkreie7yqxb4cj2t4gxftiqsno5wgk2kczb5vbtj7wh2b2u5sjtqtdrku@jpeg)
