i can't imagine a woman or gender-expansive person alive who, in the year of audre lorde 2025, thinks: “ah, yes. my appearance is a great shame, and the acceptability of my thoughts to strangers is my highest priority. i must quit writing and become a trad-wife.” abusers reveal their own weakness.

the term "fascism" makes you think these people are larger than life. in reality, what's happening is domestic abuse at scale. once you see them for what they are, it is easier to act. need more info? peep this resource on the wheel of power and control.

It's not hard to get students to genuinely engage with course material when your grading is based on radical consent and a refusal of petty pedagogical sanctions. Students turn to AI because they believe their own words don't matter & that they have nothing worth saying. Prove them wrong.

Wild how this country is ready to throw down for Kimmel but not... our neighbors being abducted off the streets by a fascist police force. I mean, whatever gets you there, I guess. But man. The moral compass in this country is for the birds. And I should know.

using the term “left" and “right” are empty terms that describe absolutely nothing about actual human beings; they’re used as shorthand to dismiss complexity + keep people divided. wanna know something about someone? ask what they’ve been worrying about lately that affects their daily lives.

Just here to point out that grown men rape children with such frequency that they invented a string of euphemisms to culturally cover for themselves. If you don’t use plain speech to describe the evil of someone raping kids: congratulations, you’re an apologist for people who rape kids.

this weirdo is feelin' delighted to have received their first ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review on apple podcasts-- which is pretty neato in my book, because (once more with feeling) it's just me talking to myself in the dark, in my friend's mom's basement bathroom... like a real professional.

Fascists rely on you being stuck in fawn and freeze responses. This is why they're trying to scare you: so you can't help the regime's targets move to safety and so you and your neighbors don't get in formation an fight back with strategic nonviolence.
