Out of 10 men , one makes a sexual joke at a woman, two laugh, three fake a chuckle to fit in, and four stay silent.  None of them speak up. Later, none of them still believe they're the "good guys." But from the woman's perspective , the laughter, the silence , the looking away, it all creates the same environment. So when women say "most men are the same," this is what they mean: not that every man harassed women, but that most men helpmprotect the system that does.

Yea, I see the resemblance to the other nine men. Taking it in seriously.

During #WomensHistoryMonth, I can personally reflect on this, and feel amazed at how women have made history despite this built in disadvantage.

Backwards, in heels, and harassed.

Reaching net zero by 2050 β€˜cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits Achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a single oil shock and bring health and economic benefits while insulating the country against future costs, the government’s climate advisers have forecast. Eliminating the UK’s reliance on fossil fuels by adopting renewable energy and green technologies, such as electric vehicles and heat pumps, would be the best and most cost-effective option for the future economy, the Climate Change Committee (CCC) found.

"avoid difficult language" makes me so sad

wrestling with language is how you get all the secrets and delights out. it's like a piΓ±ata.

So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?

Post links if you can.

Buy stuff if you can.

They hate when people stand up.

ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time.

But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned.

But I talked with many Trans friends, and it’s so much worse. They are in fear for their lives.

β€œThat's a problem for people who interpret polls for a living.”

That undersells this result. I think it’s a problem for American society itself.

Who wants a Grammarly pre-loaded with all my smutty fanfic inspiration suggestions? It emphasises the importance of picking a few key lines to put in the summary field to tantalise a potential audience.

I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs.

This video is lowballing it.

Also "the concentration camps and mass deportation apparatus of the Nazis were created through the legal system" is something we need to sit with and digest here in America, like immediately

I'll own to taking perspicacious analysis from Charlie Jane for granted, but THIS really did focus some fuzzy thoughts I have about the artists who get to have a detachable oeuvre, who never will, and how that feeds into larger cultural deficits.

I like retail and service work. I just don't think it points to a great intellectual or economic state when you've got Pulitzer Prize winning journalists economically backed into a "vow of poverty" side hustle gig economy.
