My newest essay on Mentour covers an asshole pilot who got lost, and a bullied FO afraid to point out that they were going the wrong way
This is a study in confirmation bias and arrogance

I still don't know who Olivia Nuzzi actually is, and I do not want to learn, but if I ever published a single paragraph as bad as one of the ones I've seen bouncing around this site, I would kill myself

the feminine urge to emotionally develop more over 3 years as a sapphic woman than over multiple decades as a dysphoric husk of a man

There is a trend of video game narratives where women are prominent to be overly focused on motherhood and the 'natural' nurturing urges we're all supposed to harbor. It happens even when the woman in question wears power armor and blasts aliens with a giant arm cannon.
The entire fandom’s (and Retro Studios) initial assumption: “Oh she hunts down the baddest monsters in the galaxy and gets paid for it, right?”
Nintendo: “What? No. She’s like humanity’s motherly guardian. What are you talking about.”

This novel called me out ten times per page.
If I wasn’t openly trans when I started this book, I would have been by the time I finished.
It felt so real I screamed into pillows that I couldn’t have found this ten years ago.

God, trans women are such fucking exhausting gatekeeping mean girls
“If you’re not into these eight things you’re not a real trans”
“You can’t be into anything popular if you’re trans”
Seriously, shut the hell up; let people fucking enjoy things.

Biggest red flag for trans women is being a swiftie—like I’ve met a couple cis women that can kind of get away with it but if you’re forged through the fires of transmisogyny and your taste hasn’t developed past TSwift obsession there is something spiritually vacuous about you

American media going out of their way to not describe this accurately with the headline “Sitting Republican Congressman Raped a Homeless Child”
The 17 year old who had sex for money with Trump’s first nominee for Attorney General was in and out of a homeless shelter, working at McDonalds. and trying to save up for braces. (Gift link).

Look, I will say one thing about my transition, which is that I never really had to struggle with what I wanted my gender expression to look like
I watched Barbie, and I saw Hari Nef, and went "yeah, my gender is gonna be that, right there"

we are also about to have a reckoning in regards to how normalized it was up until like ten years ago to want to have sex with--and indeed, have sex with--teenage girls. it is hard to describe how normal of a desire that was until very recently.

you should be operating strategically as though every conservative is a Nazi at this point. like, they're not all going to be Reinhard Heydrich, but all of them are going to think Heydrich is doing a good and necessary thing, so to speak.

I know two things as a fact
1) what is going to come out will be far more damning than any of us can possibly imagine
2) nothing will come of it or change in a material way

Short form video and algorithmic content has not only destroyed attention spans, it has flattened qualifications, so everyone appears equally able to talk about any topic.

I was in Nordstrom Rack yesterday looking for winter clothes and in the handbags section I overheard:
NYU GIRL 1: Oh my God, so I was watching, this girl talked to a doctor, okay—
NYU GIRL 2: Real doctor or TikTok doctor
NYU GIRL 1: *exasperated scoff* they can be both okay
NYU GIRL 1: but TikTok

The underbelly of every parent of a dead trans kid saying “social media did this” is them saying that the internet made their kids trans
I hate this "phones" conversation regarding queer people and queer kids because the bottom line is, cishet society KNOWS. Right-wingers KNOW that the internet is how queer people connect to each other---hell, that marginalized people period use it to organize and educate.
That's why they hate it.

The centrists and pundits are also invested in making him seem like a one in a billion marvel hero, and not a random citizen with charisma and values who decided to step up.
There are people like him everywhere! In every city! You probably know someone like him!
Our future is in those people.

This point absolutely correct and I will add that Mamdani demonstrates that an insurgency, even one with real moral clarity and anger at the status quo, can still be cheerful and inviting.
