getting all the girlies to each write five little rules for themselves
1) Everyone is always at least a little wrong, you included
2) It isn't bad to be wrong unless you stay wrong
3) You can always look closer, and you can always zoom out; be strategic
4) The more different things you do, the better
5) You have to give *and* take, not just one or the other

i'd love to read a real evolution of "stay woke" - i saw it evolve as:
1. in black culture, a way of pointing out structural racism
2. on black twitter, same thing but often a joke about something silly
3. white people adopt woke to mean generic antiracism
4. conservatives learn a new n-word

“woke” as i recall originated as a kind of ironic conspiratorial posting thing on black twitter (“stay woke”), and then conservatives decided it was just “political correctness” in the millennial era bsky.app/profile/unst...
I think many of them thought woke is just like clinton-era "political correctness" when the latter was imposed from the top by imbeciles who didn't know anything about anything and woke has always been a genuinely grassroots initiative

Trans women are biologically female and our medical needs make a lot more sense if we are conceptualized as having essentially an extreme form of hyperandrogenism
"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.

Ok: everyone should try transitioning, as a right of passage.
Nothing irreversible, try out some pronouns, navigate the world as a different gender for a bit, maybe do HRT for a few weeks to see how it feels.
If they find out it’s not for them, that’s cool, still learned something useful.

Once you reach a certain threshold of wealth your brain breaks, you completely disassociate from reality. Wealth cap should be mandated as a mental health protection.

like, yeah i do wish i was cis sometimes. but i love myself both in spite of being trans, and for being trans. i’m grateful for how well i know myself, which i could have only ever achieved through being trans. i am infinitely proud of myself for transitioning and love myself for having done it

one function of capitalism is to funnel these types into positions of power, because if competent & kind people get into power they start taking from the rich and giving to the poor. capitalist leaders must be either evil or ignorant or both, only by mistake does anyone else get near power
What if we could have leaders who aren't either evil monsters or spineless weenies

i wish i could convince myself to hope that maybe, just maybe, THIS time people will finally admit that sexual violence is *political violence*, is a political and social structure, is a technology of oppression, not a private, basically forgivable transgression. but i really can't fool myself
The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

hey remember how that one big tech ceo was on a panel in like 2021/22 where someone asked him about how remote work gave a lot more power to the workers and he chuckled and said “yeah well a little recession will take care of that”
I think about that often.

Just fucking insane to see the absolute (intentional) collapse of full remote jobs available for AAA studios in so short a time. Why would I EVER move for a job again when I could be laid off weeks after moving my entire life across the globe??
