Men think they're doing their share of housework. They're not. The gender gap is taking a toll on women's mental health and is not showing signs of getting better.

related to the previous post.

"New research from the university suggests that women who carried the bulk of the housework load at age 25 still bear the same heavy burdens decades later as they move into middle age β€” and that "women's domestic workload only increased during the child-rearing years."

Chotiner: How long did you stay with Calypso?
Odysseus: Seven years
Chotiner: As her prisoner?
Odysseus: Yes. I was bewitched.
Chotiner: And another year with Circe?
Odysseus: It's complicated.

solidarity with my faculty colleagues in public higher ed in this state, now more than ever, who are being told what they can and cannot say in the classroom by a political party full of people who want to live in Nazi heaven and are happy to say so

It is just after 9 p.m. in Minnesota and I'm reminding Minnesotans to eat, hydrate, take meds, etc.

Reminding folks not in Minnesota that Minnesota is still under attack from the federal government & we really need help. See below post/links.

I was proud to author an ordinance in 2023 moving mandating a 30-day rental pre-eviction notice in Minneapolis.

Sadly, we’re barely going to pass the temporary 60-day notice tomorrow and then face the threat of a veto.

Thank you Saint Paul for being pro-human.

Don't even have all that many people on my timeline and so, trust me, the guy's arm getting broken has been more than fully shared, it has achieved shared-ness and then some, zero need to keep re-sharing

Inventing victimhood to justify punching down is such a reliable indicator of bad people and bad politics. Abusers, moral panics, bigoted populism…

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

Well, I hope as a "cis white gay" Ben Appel enjoys himself when these same people get around to attacking the "homosexual agenda", because they're sure as fuck going to bring back that greatest hit.

I fucking HATE ladder pullers like Ben.

Too bad there aren't any rich people who could run ads with this information on every social media and regular media channel.

I'm sure they are then going to pass that on to consumers, right?

right?

Jesse singal literally wrote a whole article about an imaginary me and then asked people to be furious at his fantasy version of me.

my first book (2020) was about online neonazis and my second book (2024) was about christian theocrats. they gained strength, voltronned and became a government. my third book (2027) is going to be a history of notable sandwiches so i hope this means we will be governed by sandwichocracy

ALSO AS A PETTY ASIDE: I googled him and did not see ben appel vs transgender people on the first five pages (using incognito to try and avoid skewing results, if that works still!), which was disappointing. but also, if you say that, you should be telling the truth.
