I am *begging* people to look up the actual history of the Luddite movement with it being bandied about everywhere.
They weren't anti-tech, they were anti-exploitation, anti-Industrialist, pro-worker safety textile worker radicals who disabled factory machines that were maiming and killing workers.

Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.
I have two sons, and I don't think I've ever seen messaging going "Don't be a boy" or "YOU'RE BAD."
Sure looks like that's in "I heard someone say that they heard..." territory, rather than actual direct experience.
Also worth noting, the main message from manosphere influencers is "YOU'RE BAD."

It's a brutal time for young men, and to be raising one. The primary message they now is get is "YOU'RE BAD" without any meaningful attempt to offer healthy pathways beyond "Don't be a boy."
Absolutely perfect time for right wing monsters to sweep in with shitty answers.

Before you start typing about how there are more important things: the Met Gala funds the costume collection of the Met. Textile preservation/restoration is important work that needs funding - you may not think of it as such but textiles are an important part of history that often goes unpreserved

Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.

As we’ve said before now confirmed. FOIA requests reveal that DOGE employees are pulling in six-figure salaries, with many holding the title of “Expert,” a specific Office of Personnel Management (OPM) designation that pays around $190,000 a year.

The US used to have free to low tuition until schools couldn't discriminate based on race
Countries with free tuition: Germany, France, Denmark, Czech Rep, Sweden, Uruguay, Turkey, Taiwan, Iceland, Austria, Finland, Greece, Egypt, India, Norway, Brazil, Argentina, Kenya, Luxemb., Slovenia, Mexico.
Something about the next generation being the future of the country, I guess.

I was a first-gen, working-class Black student who took on student loans to get here.
This GOP budget would've slammed that door shut on me—and now it will for future generations.
We should be expanding access to college, not widening the achievement and racial wealth gap.

Easily the right’s greatest propaganda win was branding DEI as “forcing companies to hire unqualified black candidates” when in reality it forced companies to hire qualified black candidates instead of unqualified white ones.
Removing a black 4-star general at Secretary of Defense and replacing him with a white talk-show is the perfect example why DEI is essential. It's not about hiring unqualified minorities, it’s about foiling the majority's habit of hooking up under qualified mediocrities of their own caste.

A useful thing to do when you think someone is "being dramatic" or "overreacting" to a situation is to stop, take a breath, and ask yourself:
What would have to be true for their reaction to make sense?
Are you sure those things are NOT true?

Also???? Any time marginalized people carve out spaces for themselves out of necessity, the white supremacist status quo immediately see it as a threat and target the spaces. Let's not goddamn pretend they'll "let" us thrive even away from them.
“Trans people should campaign for third spaces” = “trans people should campaign for their own marginalisation.”

Best sewing hack I ever heard? If you're taking sewing or embroidery on a plane, take dental floss. The TSA might take other forms of thread cutter, but they don't take dental floss, which comes with a built in cutter. Thank you to the embroiderer in an airport who doesn't know she taught me this.
