There should be more people who retransition (not “detransition”, you can’t erase your life), because if people aren’t changing their minds about transitioning, that means not enough people are trying it
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Anyway: pornographic art and performance is good, people have a right to the vast majority of their kinks, and it is ridiculous that consenting adults are finding those rights strangled by big tech and payment platforms

I wish people would talk about consent less in essentializing and pseudo-scientific language about brains not being developed yet, and more in terms of power imbalances. But I guess if people did, they would have to notice power imbalances that aren't based on age, too.

Anyone who’s observed how their spouse’s family treats its rich members knows why.
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales is trying to use his name to convince Wikipedia editors to deny the Gaza Genocide, recognized by many human rights organizations.
Although he's not seizing control, this is an extreme attempt to sway Wikipedia content in violation of its founding principles.

it hurts so much to think about a time 5 years ago when we were all appropriately scared of covid, when it was common to hear sentiments like “we’re all in this together even if we can’t*be* together.”
and now here we are. “fuck you, disabled people, whose ranks i surely will never join.”

No, Bernie, sending squads of goosestepping fascists to conduct mass raids and terrify entire communities is not "better." This is a godawful take and you should feel bad.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.
Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Do not trust cops. Do not talk to cops. If a cop stops you ask if you're being detained and leave. Do not tell cops about your day. Do not interact with cops. They pretend to be nice as an evidence gathering tactic. Like they take classes on fooling you into trusting them.

Cops are fucking devious when it comes to PR. They know theyre wildly outnumbered and that if public opinion of them really fell, like "suburban mom and dads now hate cops" fell, they'd be torn apart. So they're gonna put on a good show. These people will beat you to death if told to
