On the Edge
This week, we lace up our skates and tell a story about loving a sport that doesn’t love you back, and being judged in front of the world according to rules you don’t understand.

also worth noting that “rooting for everyone gay” in this case erases the fact that Cizeron’s former partner, Gabriella papadakis, is openly bisexual herself. Cis gay men can still be perpetrators of misogyny, sexist abuse, & harassment.

This- when the president of the US is blatantly, loudly, vocally racist and anti-Black, it's not 'a matter of moral etiquette' but rather a concerted, pointed, violent attack against Black people from the highest seat/office in the country in the most powerful country in the world. All this in BHM
in the elite circles of the US, racism is treated less as a matter of social stratification with direct implications for political stakes and more as a matter of moral etiquette. it is even more notable, then, that this administration can't constrain themselves to the meager associated standards

And even after the Exhonerated Five (as the Central Park Five are now known) were exhonerated of all the charges, the Orange Mirror still believes they're guilty.
Donald Trump in 1989 took out a full page ad in the New York Times calling for the execution of five teenagers. He said they looked guilty. He said in his ad "I want to hate the[m] and I always will. ... I want them to be afraid."

In Neil Gaiman’s “I did nothing wrong ever” statement he says there’s been no good journalism about him or his assaults. There has been, of course.
Thing is, he said the same thing in 2018 when @moryan.bsky.social reported on issues behind the scenes on American Gods www.moryan.com/a-burn-it-do...

I don't believe for one moment that Melania was a victim. I believe she was an adult sex worker who chose to overlook the villainy and child abuse around her in order to benefit financially.
I seem to recall a moment on the other place when a cadre of (white) feminists wagged their fingers at people for thinking Melania is an agentic adult who chose this life. We were supposed to understand that she is a *victim*. Anyway, I’m old.
