Yes! I loved it. ICYMI: Questlove was yesterday’s guest on WTF podcast.

“The nature of the crimes was ordinary and common. In the US, there’s a rape every 68 seconds, a woman is beaten by an intimate partner every nine seconds,&while more men are murdered annually than women, “over half of female homicide victims are killed by a current or former male intimate partner”

what my lifetime of having pets taught me & he immediately shared what he’d learned & valued w/his dog.

It was a pretty awesome seeing how his demeanor shifted from hesitant to openly expressive.

Another great thing talking about fun hobbies is also sharing what you learn from those hobbies: problem solving, patience, etc which are all empowering positive traits & opens the door for convos on thoughts/feelings.

Yesterday I chatted w/a young dude first time dog owner & I mentioned

I’m a fan of muting or blocking the willfully yet pointlessly antagonistic.

It’s more satisfying to me than boosting their sad sack hot takes.

It was lovely that your brother thought to send you some positive encouragement. You & he deserve the amplification.

And in the US at least, women will be even less inclined to help the sad lads by fucking the sad lads because they don’t want to be burdened with a sad lad oopsie that will keep them dependent on a sad lad.

Read actual books & articles by women. Maybe then you’ll see as human & not just fuck holes.

We’ve tried to explain that patriarchy fucks over dudes too, just as you explained w/not being able to fit the stereotypical patriarchal roles/skills & your feelings of “failing”.

The difference is: you get heard & boosted while women lose bodily autonomy (birth control & abortion access in US)

Had you framed it as “here’s an alternative to the manosphere/alt right grift” instead of “the left is why men turn to the manosphere” —the response would’ve been different.

Plenty of us on the left have explained “women are people not just fuck holes” only to be dismissed or called feminazis.

Today I met a very sweet smaller dog that was trained to give high fives.

I got greedy & held up both my hands for high tens.

This will result in more unplanned births that are also typically a financial hardship so this will increase the need for more access to Medicaid.

Maybe sad lads could get laid if safe & legal access to birth control,Plan B and abortion were available nationwide.

No one wants a sad lads’ oopsie.

Until safe & legal access to birth control, Plan B,
& abortion are available in all 50 states— I won’t care that sad lads can’t get laid.

The left tried to tell boys & men that the patriarchy fucks them over too.

And they called left women “Feminazis” & left men were called “pussys”.

And ffs, generations of men got laid long before the manosphere came into play.

So weird that generations of men got laid - long before there was a manosphere that apparently is now our collective left leaning responsibility to counteract- so men can get laid.

Dudes. We tried telling you that the patriarchy fucks you up too.

Shame you didn’t listen & called us Feminazis.

Lovely walk today. Not pictured: the sweet dog who was trained to give a high five and their super awesome human who’d never had a dog before and invested a solid year in training/learning to build their relationship.❤️

Faith in humanity momentarily restored.

1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime (14.8% completed, 2.8% attempted). - rainn.org

And why aren’t we constantly talking about this?

That they overturned Roe and immediately the media started a nationwide moral panic over “male loneliness” has got to be one of the least subtle moments in the long history of antifeminist backlash.

I -gray,chubby & 60-was cat called by a homeless man laying out on a quiet neighborhood sidewalk this morning.

It.Never.Ends.

That realization finally dawned on me in my 50s & was confirmed via diagnosis. And became an intense focus of research/understanding/learning my specific traits.

Welcome to the club! Attending virtual autistic adult support groups was super helpful for me understanding self & others.

He blocked me too😎🎉

What’s adorable is that you completely overlook an incident of actual violence because you’re so butthurt about a push notification that you didn’t even get.

Getting Jedeed’s Substack posts via email = me at a Nazi bar?

How’s your view up there on Chud Mountain?

Grocery delivery has been great for me,ymmv of course. Whenever I’ve had a rare issue with fruit or veggies being on the over ripe/wilted side, or something gets thawed—I’ve had no problem getting a refund.

I aim for early morning deliveries,especially in summer—but they also use insulated bags.

A single push notification about anything in the grand scheme of everything else + lived experience doesn’t make me feel better or worse.

Then again, I don’t waste my time by having push notifications turned on. That’s a super easy hurdle for any human to clear.

Solidarity friend, I also check multiple boxes. ICYMI: Amazon has a discounted annual Prime fee if you’re on SNAP & even delivered groceries can be paid for by SNAP.

Having groceries delivered since 2020 vs multiple bus trips=healthier meal prep & better management of my disabilities.

I was held up at gunpoint once in my life, by a man. Getting held up at gunpoint is never acceptable. I should avoid all men. Oh shit, you’re a man!

You’re the one who started by saying it was sent to *every* user, implying that it was a consistent, deliberate act—which is a very different goal post than zero as an acceptable amount.

Using your logic:
