If misogyny disqualified men from your respect, you could all spend a lot less time being like "Oh my god, I'm so shocked to discover that he's hateful and stupid," later.

ICYMI: Art Subs are OPEN ✨ We love art that's steeped in memory & awareness. Art that eats donuts & watches cartoons on Saturday mornings. That lives next door! Whose parents are immigrants. Even art that’s lowbrow. Art that reminds us of our humanity. ✨

Donate to We Lost Everything to a Fire. Help My Family Rebuild., organized by Chloe Clark On January 24th, our childhood home burned down. Our parents lost 50… Chloe Clark needs your support for We Lost Everything to a Fire. Help My Family Rebuild.

I'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link!

Tara has short gray and brown hair and big brown eyes framed by sparkly silver glasses. Her left hand is touching the side of her slightly tilted head. She is wearing a purple lipstick and a purple sweater and seated while a few people mill around behind her.

@tarabetts.bsky.social's poem THIS β€œACCENT” I CAN'T LOSE & THEY CAN'T PLACE explores the identity and expectation caught in the cadence of a voice. Here, she shares just one thing about the piece: buff.ly/yMTx1Nq

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the TaΓ­nos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Hurting Children is the Point: The Right Wing Authoritarian Mindset The motivation that hides in plain sight is the key to understanding what's happening

The Epstein horrors have made something clear that has hidden in plain sight and helps explain fascism and our present crisis.

The Right Wing is motivated by a desire to hurt children and make sure their lives and futures are destroyed.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.
