Today, I wish to discuss how the difficult questions of third world feminism are elided and obscured by Western feminists---both white and not---and kindly ask feminists all over the world to grow a fucking pair.

One person responded with “because modding and boobs are fun” and if that was the only response the furries gave to that post it would’ve been so normal. Instead it’s Nuremberg Trials but with dog titties

Not sure how bad the deepfake problem is? Read Stella's farewell thread.

This is an extreme form of remote sexual harassment that can now be used to target anyone, regardless of platform, in seconds. Despite news stories focusing mostly on CSAM it's still unchecked and rampant on Twitter.
I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why.

I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

“I do not defend Maduro. I point at him.
But I also refuse to accept that a global power can appoint itself as a moral judge while its history is written in interventions, sanctions, and broken countries.”

Notre Dame College Republicans just went full mask off nazi they tweeted and then deleted this in response to the evil and vile attack on Venezuela

If you don't perceive the fact that they don't even feel the slightest need to obfuscate or manufacture consent anymore as an escalation, I don't know what to say to you?

If banning conversion therapy for all people would make your religion 'illegal' then your religion deserves to be illegal.

Loads of us are poor, most of us don't choose to join the racist murder squad about it. Constrained choices are still choices and I would choose anything over becoming an enforcer of imperialist brutality 🤷‍♀️

No but I kind of respect the honesty of "But if you ban conversion therapy, we won't be allowed to do conversion therapy, which we love doing."

Full-throated admission that torturing queer people and designating women as reproductive property is core to the sanctified patriarchy of your belief system.

A huge problem for a sane world, in my view. :)
An open letter to the Government warning that its plans for a “full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices” could “criminalise mainstream, historic Christian teaching on marriage and sexual ethics, and make sharing the Gospel with some people illegal” has more than 5000 signatories.

maybe, hear me out, that “bad leftist take” was just correct materialistic analysis
I was wondering how this might all turn out to have been my fault

So the zealots whose entire conception of "feminism" is defending the legitimacy of 'woman' as mother and womb are buying into nationalist, reactionary politics?

The story here is actually how shit most people's definition of "left-leaning" is.
"Left-leaning mothers of Mumsnet are deserting Labour for Reform" [Times]

I can't stop laughing long enough to come up with something sarcastic to say about this headline.

Creating and consuming art in a time of shit is fine and normal of course, but we better not see Americans self-promote with some variant of that grim 'joy is resistance! escape into my cozy game/book/etc to get away from the news of our country doing genocidal imperialism again!'

This is the biggest and most important thing. Pretending it isn't happening and hoping it goes away is naive. It will neither stop nor end until it is MADE TO.
The sooner you realise that "Who's gonna stop me?" is what motivates the bulk of conservative politics and animates today's male grievance movement, the better.

"I'm sorry, but spilling the blood of the undercastes is the only way for citizens of empire to overcome their moral impairment. Perhaps in another few massacres they'll finally understand browns are people too. Be patient---boys will be boys!

They're just following orders, you know."
The fact this brave child-murderer is blocking everyone dunking on him (for the crime of racist mass murder and such) is funny. Courageous enough to go shoot unarmed civilians and children, but not enough to face some social media criticism!

Feels like for a lot of people, the president's biggest sin is just being to blunt too put a nice, jingoistic, propagandistic cover on what the what US is and does and always has been.

Public figures squawking about democracy and liberation while he goes "BLOOD AND OIL" is darkly, darkly funny.
