feminist next door

They call you a feminist killjoy because misogyny is fun for them.
They were careless people … they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

I don’t care that these guys explicitly prefer the exclusive company of men. I care that they prefer the exclusive company of men, but they sell that as “feminine,” (whatever the fuck that means), so they horrifically abuse women as a convincing performance of heteronormativity.
The first year we did the women’s march in NYC I climbed onto a garbage can to take a photo of the people stretching down the avenue. When I snapped it I just started crying. An NYPD officer came over, looked at me and said, “you do need to get down, but I get it.”
Confirmed Deaths — 1.671 = Caused by attacks launched by US & Israel — 44 = Caused by attacks launched by Iran If we start the war, we target schools and freshwater facilities, and we out-murder the other side 38:1, what does that make us? Who wouldn’t hate us for this?
The state department put this notice out at 4:45pm TODAY. “Americans should depart now using commercial means.” 4 days into a war we instigated, knowing that Iran had, on multiple occasions and having little other leverage available, promised to retaliate against Americans and Allies within reach.

“Well, I don't think they [European leaders] are gonna push back too much," he told reporters Monday. "Look, we have to have it. They have to have this done. They can't protect it." What the fuck
What a sad display of pusillanimity, watching our leaders openly admit that the system is broken and then mindlessly go through the motions like animatronic amusements.
1) the standard for “lifelike” is almost certainly, “does it feel real when I stick my dick in it” 2) giving men robot girlfriends does not make them less likely to assault humans, it makes them more practiced 3) I fucking hate it here
Translation: they’ve finished scrubbing and re-manufacturing whatever is there.
In the future scientists will describe the fall of the United States as, “basically everything stopped needing to make sense, like at all”
This is either a gallery of obliviousness or a lineup of unapologetic indifference and I’m not sure it matters which. (1 of 2) Senators Durbin, Kaine, Rosen, and Fetterman
SNAP benefits increased under Biden, not because an abnormally large number of recipients were added, but because the admin increased the per person allotment under the Thrifty Food Plan from an average of $4.80 /day to $6.20 /day. The most recent prior cost of living evaluation occurred in 2006.
This is why, beyond the dishonesty of it, I won’t be cajoled into performative politeness by people who don’t actually care what you think and simply want to censor what you say. To be clear, refusing performative politeness - e.g., “bless his family” is not the same as being a racist piece of shit.
The NWS, along with most other prime DOGE targets - government agencies designed to prevent Americans from dying and feed robust public institutional data to adjacent markets like insurance, housing, and finance - is feeling the strain of trying to run an institution using a corporate profit model.
