This is a pivot for me, so this space is going to be somewhat chaotic for a while.
I have nothing left to prove and everything left to accomplish. I mostly write about academia, but it extends beyond.
Ex: If you’ve been using 🍉 in re: your experience, consider ‘gaslighting survivor’ instead.

It happens like this a lot. We have to blame someone, but pointing that blame at those actually responsible has been made utterly terrifying (see: tiktok receipts).
So we take our rage out on people we feel safe attacking.
And folks, there are a lot of looks right now, but that ain’t one of them.

I’m going to gently point out the cultural habit of focusing the blame on women.
I would like to encourage those folks to either shift their blaming back onto the men; to focus on praising women survivors; or to consider whether it’s worth sitting this one out.

You can watch how the men around you respond to this, if you want to know which guys are trashing the world for everyone else because they can’t tolerate the idea of being accountable for themselves.
Okay, time to share the flip side of ‘just do better’
When men with money are pissed off at you, apparently they sometimes buy out most of a flight, and then you’re stuck in a tube in the sky with men doing and saying frightening things.
And now that’s public information, so at least there’s that.

more people would support eliminating dhs if they knew that before 9/11 you could have sex with the pilots in the cockpit during the flight

I’m not looking to win a thumb war. I’m pointing out scientific approaches that fail to align with our stated values and the adverse consequences of relying on those tactics.
I would like us to stop throwing good resources after bad. We made a wrong turn. Second best time to turn around is now.

Okay fine yeah fair enough. It’s subtle; it’s nuanced; it’s mostly just about asserting epistemic dominance.
Any problem that can be solved with an UNO reverse card is worth seriously noticing as such.

patriarchy isn't a metaphor! it's real guys who really believe they are entitled to control women.
the fact that Ross's first words after killing Good were "fucking bitch" is one of those things that makes me feel like every attempt to make feminist theory sophisticated was actually pointless. like no apparently there are guys who actually do just want to kill women for inconveniencing them

What if every time you posted on social media, a bunch of guys who want you to shut up updated their own social media in response?
What if there were social pressures to overextend your science to account for it, because it’s been made next-to-impossible to just call it what it is?
What then?

Belief in conspiracy is belief that there are people willing to work together to get away with doing things that they aren’t supposed to be doing.
Successfully stigmatizing the idea of believing in conspiracies is probably actual conspiracists’ biggest win.

Friendly PSA: problem men on here don’t exist to me (at least, not until I’m in the mood to staple them to my wall and stick them with push pins).
You don’t need more information. You already know who they are and why I steer clear. What you need is a question that’s worth my time to answer.

I’m also going to politely request that we resist the urge to colonize tragic events to protest the experience of accountability.
No, your colleague who pointed out some concerning behavior in public did not murder you. She gave you a tummy-ache. Those are different things.

I’ve just also used this as, you know, *social* media.
Maybe the people who usually chat with me via subtweet could start reaching out the old fashioned way. Text, DM, handwritten letter, moving to Canada about it — I’m just saying; we got options.
