Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

If you talk to any of the dolls so many of them have stories of sleeping with wealthy and powerful men. It wouldn't shock you that most of the men involved are publicly transphobic. They view trans women as sex objects.
O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

Can't be exaggerated: every bully believes themselves a victim. Even Hitler! Even US slave owners!
It's part of the psychology. There is no amount of power or privilege that can ameliorate it.

so I'm about halfway through my re-read of "the rise and fall of the third reich," world war 2 is about to kick off, and one notable thing is how many times hitler would start off speeches and meetings talking about how badly he/germany had been treated, usually by countries he planned on crushing

There was a reason my parents told me “Focus on school for now” when I hit my teens.
I was never a beautiful girl, and I was never in movies that sexualized me in in any way. But it didn’t matter. It was about access. I still got harassed.
The 2000s were a bleak, bleak time for young girls.

I love Snow Crash but oooof do I cringe every time I read it at the sexualisation of an underage girl. Basically as a plot device.
sometimes I'm all "maybe I shouldn't write that story dealing with the megaboob space habitat, it might be weird" and then i remember all of the sff writers of the past who built turboracist worlds and glorified pedophilia

A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.
Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.
