This feels like an important thing to reup: We need Teen Vogue but for young men. A platform that’s empathic and politically enlightening, a space for safe community that provides nontoxic self esteem and a path to deradicalization in the face of the all-entwining tentacles of the manosphere.
As we should have come to expect by now, Teen Vogue is reliably the smartest voice on American electoral politics

Kamala Is Not Our Savior. But a Trump Win Would Be Catastrophic.
Voting Harris is our best chance of stopping the irreversible damage of another Trump presidency.

To my fellow Canadians, please do not think that our horror show is merely on the horizon. It's already here in many places. Look at what's going on in Alberta.

We can defeat the fascists! History has demonstrated this time and time again.
But history has also shown that progressives are terrible at coalition building, we prioritize purity politics over collectivism & we eat our own.
We gotta build solidarity to defeat our common enemy.

I like taking the bus for this very reason!!
Please allow me one stupid, sentimental post before I disappear for a bit: it means a lot to me to share a subway car with the people of NYC this morning; a group of people with different origins and destinations, living our own ways. It's one of my favorite places.

I expected to wake up exhausted, despondent. but I looked up and for the first time in my life I thought, "there's no one left to look to. it's just us."
so I am shocked at how I feel: furious, clear-eyed, galvanized. we who saw this from the beginning, for better or worse, it's our time to lead.

Y’all, I truly do love you. But “Harris did [insert hobbyhorse here] wrong” is a truly unhinged reaction to what just happened. This country voluntarily elected a fascist.

THIS IS SOMETHING YOU GET TO LEARN IN A SKEET, AND NOT, AS I DID, IN A KAYAK ON LOWER SABAO LAKE IN MAINE, AS ONE SURFACED RIGHT THE FUCK NEXT TO ME.
Moose are great swimmers, can fully submerge for 30+ sec, & dive up to 5m deep! When a moose submerges its head, the difference btwn water pressure & air pressure causes specialized structures w/in moose nostrils to seal the nose! The deeper they dive, the greater the pressure, the tighter the seal!
Quote this skeet with a random fact you love, that brings you joy, I'll start:
Otters have pockets. The skin under their armpits makes a natural fold that they keep things in.

A conversation among columnists today in the New York Time.
David Brooks complains Harris never offered men a plan to get them to vote for her.
Tressie McMillan Cottom points out that Harris released and talked about clear plans but that “a lot of men cannot hear a plan from a female leader.”

The energy is unlike anything we've seen since 2008. It might even be better than 2008. Watch the game.
This is not a line outside a poll site.
This is a line of Harris volunteers filling up six buses on W. 62nd St., headed to PA this a.m.
This is why we are gonna win it.

A reminder as NaNoWriMo begins that the org stated that criticizing AI is “classist and ableist” because… poor and disabled people can’t write? (They got an AI sponsor.)
Meanwhile, Miyazaki saw AI, responded with a story about disability and humanity, and gave us the only response to AI we need:

This is some more incredible work by @propublica.org focusing on the dire consequences of a Trump win. This is the information voters are craving, not the latest poll results. Be sure to read & share. This stuff is important. It's also really good journalism.
