Ah yes, this important trope we need to discuss that… hasn’t been major/current/dominant/relevant in the whole time I’ve been reading litfic. Begging people once again to read the genre as it currently is before making sweeping statements.
I want to popularize a term of art for this particular litfic genre trope: the Sad Boner Professor.
It's a novel about a Professor (usually of American Literature). He is Sad. Also, he has a Boner. His boner is inordinately interested in the sexy, sexy student: also, he's sad because: wife.

Before Fleetwood Mac made history in 1977 with the release of their album Rumours, no band had ever had the idea to make every song on a record good

This is not a new observation but it is one that needs to be continually repeated: this is a government of rapists, by rapists, for rapists. That is the constituency
It is not at all hard to see how central the politics of rape are to the current moment: with ICE, with Trump himself, and with the many petty tyrants in all sectors of society who looked at him and saw, in his victories, permission to once again predate on the women around them

I look back at the person I was like 6 years ago and they're honestly nearly unrecognizable to me. Not everything is "fixed" now, but social situations are so much easier.
it’s wild to me that i used to have social anxiety. i literally couldnt go into a room of people i didnt know or talk to staff at a store. now i move through the world with the dignified, understated bearing of a heron

We need to be building a trans culture of mutual support, one where we tell the people close to us what they mean to us and how just unbelievably fucking cool they. I've started doing this more and more over the last year and I cannot tell you how many times I've

People like this should be cast out of society. Seriously, go live in a fucking cave, you capitulating, spineless worm
Prepare yourself for a Dem nominee (him or somebody else) with whom you don’t agree on everything (Gaza, trans issues, death penalty). You have three years to get the fuck over it because anyone the Dems offer up is better than this or something like this.
Ok, you know why I don’t like Gavin Newsom? You know how in While You Were Sleeping, Peter Gallagher’s family all talks about how he rescued a nest of baby birds as a kid, and later he admits he knocked their nest out of the tree with a rock, then made sure everyone saw him rescue it?
That’s Gavin.
That’s Gavin.

an end to death would mean an end to all human liberty forever. the only purpose of immortality is to create a permanent ruling class who will lord over the rest of us as cattle and functionally as gods.

the people angry at this seem captured by the delusion that "immortality" would somehow trickle down to the masses. This ignores two key things:
1. Most tech oligarchs see "immortality" as uploading themselves to the cloud
2. They want to make themselves gods and don't desire your company

like 70% of the worst evil being perpetrated in the world right now is caused by rich men trying to avoid death. this is their underlying hope for AI, and genetic engineering.
if true immortality ever existed we would have a moral responsibility to murder the inventors and bomb their labs.

it is not about sports. it has never been about sports. it is about banning trans people from public life entirely AT BEST, and at worst, forcing them into situations that will endanger their lives. this is why we don't play along with the "just asking questions" sports bullshit
🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space".
In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender.
