This news about the arrest of Chinese women writers of “boys love” fiction is chilling. To me it feels like this is what so many right wing book banners want to do here in the US — to books about LGBTQ+ people and to the writers who write them.

I’ve been seeing a lot going around about @sophiegilbert.bsky.social’s new book. As an historian of sex work, I’m really interested! But she also fully BLAMED PORN for MRAs, anti-trans rhetoric, and the persecution of immigrants. (I would love to see @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social read this…)

Can you imagine ahem Chuck Schumer leading senate democrats to scale a barricade to get into the senate to hold a unanimous vote against trump declaring martial law?
Cuz that’s what they did in Korea. We need leaders with spines.

To suggest we should yield even a little to Trump’s odious politics is unacceptable. Even if we did, it would never be enough.

Reminder that the National Center On Sexual Exploitation is NOT an unbiased think tank; it is the rebrand of Morality in Media, a far-right group founded by Catholic clergy in the 60’s to combat the “degeneracy” of the sexual revolution, opposed LGBT rights, abortion rights, women’s rights, sex ed.

Hi @michaelhobbes.bsky.social, I am a huge fan and one of the few(?) people who loved the Worm Wars episode of MP. I have a student who is interested in effective altruism and I’d like to give her some reading to complicate the narrative. Do you have any articles or books you would recommend?

1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don’t trust anonymous sources.
3. Don’t trust stories that cite other news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There’s almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language media uses. “We are getting reports…” could mean anything. “We are seeking confirmation…” means they don’t have it. “[News outlet] has learned…” means it has a scoop or is going out on a limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting (reposting), some of this is on you.
