Power imbalances inherently dehumanize people
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Power imbalances inherently dehumanize people
I feel like when I tell this to progressive cishet people they don’t really take it seriously. But I would not have been able to come into myself and be who I am today without having uncensored internet access as a young teen. I wouldn’t have found safety or self-acceptance nearly as quickly
In the cases of queer and trans kids and teens, social media is actually frequently cited as a lifeline to being able to survive in oppressive transphobic and queerphobic communities and cultures. It’s an essential tool of connection, socialization, education, and yes, safety

So important to not forget both what happened + what the prevailing feelings were while it was happening: OP was hardly alone, but this kind of reflection/memory and accountability is absolutely crucial. This, much more than being right, is the sign of a trustworthy comrade and friend
i spiraled over the fascists trying to pin the kirk shooting on us fearing it could even lead to pogroms but his death is already totally out of the news cycle. important to note when things don’t turn out as bad as they could, they’re not omnipotent

If there hadn't been so many attacks on trans people existing, I probably would have had more time and energy to write academic articles and advocate around this issue that is squarely within my wheelhouse. Just a thought!

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

basically i think that both “free speech absolutism” and appeals to the apparent paradox of tolerance’s “intolerance of intolerance” are bad faith attempts to trick progressives into accepting incoherent, absolutized substitutes for the values they actually hold.

I’m trying to write a memoir and I’ve been down about it bc it felt like every chapter was the same chapter - boy tries to be authentic but chooses the world over himself again.
Last night I did a one sentence summary for each of the first seven chapters and found they are actually quite varied! 🙌

The idea of running anti-abortion Democrats is sickening to me. That means killing women! That is what that means!

The problem isn't that transphobic parents are being ignored, it's that they're *lying about basic facts.* This is the dynamic on nearly every issue of public interest, from guns to climate change to economics.
"The bigots are lying again" is a fucking great message for democrats and it's true.
