"touch grass" is bad advice. i am allergic to grass and it's a huge waste of water. we should instead be touching desert-friendly xeriscaping

very funny to read these emails and then remember summers wondering whether the leaky pipeline in stem was because women are inherently bad at math

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles.

Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

Alice Wong, writer and disability activist, has died. She was an educator and a communicator and a warrior who lit the way. I’m grateful to have crossed paths with her. Rest in peace.

monica lewinsky's boss exploited his position of power and she faced literally decades of mass harassment, cruelty, objectification, and misogynistic jokes and here we are in 2025, comedians still use her name as synonymous with blowjobs, i fucking hate it here.

IS GERMANY THE BROTHEL OF EUROPE? Bundestag President Julia Klöckner, of the center-right Christian Democrats (CDU), has reignited public discussion about sex work in Germany, when she said the country had become the Puff Europas (brothel of Europe). In a speech at an award ceremony for two street workers, Klöckner criticized Germany's current legislation, saying sex workers are not adequately protected, calling for a federal ban on prostitution and the purchase of sex. She has received backing from Health Minister Nina Warken, also of the CDU, who said: "Like other countries, Germany needs a criminal ban on the clients purchasing sex." Prostitution in Germany was legalized in 2002 under a center-left government of Social Democrats and Greens. In 2017, the Prostitution Protection Act was passed to further improve the legal and social situation of sex workers — who must register their activity with the authorities. Brothels must get a license to operate and fulfill requirements for safety and hygiene. brothels are not illegal in Germany Video Should buying sex be illegal? About 32,300 sex workers are registered in Germany. Only 5,600 of them are German citizens. Researchers assume that there are hundreds of thousands of unregistered sex workers in the country. Many with poor German language skills and little awareness of their rights, or health and support services. Forced prostitution is reportedly on the rise in Germany, and politicians are debating ways to reduce exploitation in sex work.

Looks like the push for the failed nordic model is in full swing in #germany, with this from DW's Berlin in English newsletter.

The nordic model has never worked, and does not actually make anyone safer. It increases marginalisation & stigmatisation of sex workers, and disincentivizes safety.

On Watching Battle of the Sexes — What A Shrink Thinks From 2017: It took me a week or so of nudging: “Hey, you wanna go see Battle of the Sexes with me hon?” “Nah, not really… can’t we just rent Wonder Woman again?” I really wanted at least one o...

When people hear about such events, they are often quick to name this as "abuse." But back in the olden times, we had no words for such things, and you cannot protect yourself from something you cannot name.

I'm an Open Borders true believer. I think we should replace the entire DHS with a New American Welcoming Department that hands out Social Security numbers and green cards to new arrivals right at points of entry and helps them find places to live and work.

getting a text in the middle of the night and it's just my loathsome vizier saying "Your enemies lie in wait, my lord!!" what am I supposed to do with that. its four in the morning

All adults have a responsibility to protect all children. I think if you take this seriously it is a very radical position.

Gavin Newsom is a repulsive transphobe who platformed Charlie Kirk and personally cleared a homeless encampment, and he'll burn in hell before I vote for him <3

An antifascist popular front and transphobia are incompatible. A big tent that includes transphobes isn't a big tent, it's a tent with a hole in the roof.

how about koko’s basilisk and its everyone pretending a gorilla can actually use sign language because they’re afraid it will hit them

only way to know is to go withdraw all of it right now.

Working on a I.C.E. kidnap case right now—2 sons, whose mother called on me.

It’s very clear both Uber and Waymo have provided the government my clients’ location via these ride sharing company’s ✨massive✨ tech surveillance op.

No warrant—just pure cooperation.

Stay woke, y’all.

Waymo is I.C.E.

Screenshot of a Twitter post from October 1 a few years ago. Joyce Carol Oates is quote tweeting a picture of a house decorated for Halloween with skeletons posed crawling all over it. She says: (you can always recognize a place in which no one is feeling much or any grief for a lost loved one & death, dying, & everyone you love decomposing to bones is just a joke.)

Even her very stupid posts are the stuff of legend

When you fold with no concessions less than a week after voters delivered blowout victories for your party, what conclusion do you expect us to draw?

theres a whole category of newstertainment thats gotta go. and its "ask a really rich freak who is also evil and directly stealing from you what hes seen on the computer lately that has made him feel bad." the only -- ONLY -- story about this guy worth exploring is: he is getting rich spying on you

Rockwell meme where the dude is saying, “If more politicians followed sex workers they might have a better idea of the state of the real economy.”
