They’re not against academic freedom, you see, but what you do isn’t real scholarship. They’re not trampling freedom of the press, you just happen not to be a real journalist. They believe in the democratic process. You just happen not to be a real party, interest group, citizen, human being… (2/2)

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?
Our recent poll found that women 28 and younger skew substantially more left than the national average. Nearly 80 percent of Gen Z women want abortion to be legal and seven in 10 want gender-affirming care to be accessible for trans adults.
Gen Z women are the most liberal group in the country

It's the peak of the fall migration season. This is when bird deaths from window collisions tend to spike, even though simple solutions can prevent this.
As hundreds of millions of birds head south, the invisible danger is glass

Make art with your friends. Organize an underground show. Buy tapes and zines from friends and strangers. Support each other. Culture is made by regular people living their lives and finding ways to connect, and capitalists can never own that.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

tbh the stark reality is that for nonbinary gender existence to gain much stronger mass traction among the public, it's basically imperative that people also 'allow the body to be nonbinary' i.e. question sexing of the body itself. there's basically no way binary sex & nonbinary gender can coexist

i think it's important to remember that while we do not create the context in which we exist and are moulded by it we are always already in an active mode of processing it and struggling with/through it. otherwise, we are dead

I knew we were cooked but the response to this really reinforces it. I get personal faith occasionally informing a progressive worldview but nobody is gonna fix religion by convincing the zealots they’re interpreting things wrong
i think everyone needs to get a lot less religious

the logic here is that charlie kirk must be nationally eulogized in the name of freedom of speech but everyone who supported palestinians against genocide must be permanently excommunicated from public life and also it is leftists' fault for both

studying feminist history has left me with this weird thing where i treat the women involved in women's liberation as like actual complex human beings who are almost never wholly villains or heroes, who you can learn from no matter their flaws and failures

my favourite thing about witch hat atelier's story is that it is about a magic system that draws upon a constructive language of how to "communicate" the conjuring of magic but the entire plot is about a conflict regarding "rules over what is allowed with magic"
90% of fantasy-reading men tell me its vitally important for your magic system to have clear cut balanced rules like youre running a d&d campaign

obvi men are always right, so here are the rules for every magic system i will ever make up:
•vibes!!!
•gay girls can do anything (if theyre gay enough)

If you’re a feminist you can spend your whole life grappling with the inadequacy of narrative to convey reality or summon enough political will to enact change. But if you’re a fascist you can just use narrative as a hammer to claim ownership of reality and beat material conditions into conformity.
ultimately i think the central thesis of trumpism might be true nihilism, just the absolute disdain for the idea that anything matters at all beyond winning an argument in the eyes of your supporters. there is no such thing as competence. there is only loyalty and occasionally bad press. that’s it

Now this is passed, it's so funny to me that not a peep of it was mentioned by the fake @AltNPS account lmao. It was a nationwide day of protest at national parks (including former JA incarceration sites) and they apparently didn't know about it. If you're still following them, they're frauds btw

But I was told by the New York Times that marriage equality was a stunning success that succeeded because of its modest political goals.

Almost like the last two decades of progress were hollow assimilationism into a collapsing neoliberal order rather than actual liberation.
