In 1986 we occupied the Dean’s office & built a shantytown in Harvard University Yard to force the university to divest from companies profiting from apartheid S. Africa. They threatened us with expulsion. We said, “F*uck you, we won’t do what you tell us.” Students! Thanks for keeping…

dawg they’re all dead. the missiles you gave bibi killed them

By genetically reengineering cows -- and maybe humans, too? -- plus some stratospheric geoengineering with sulfate aerosols or giant umbrellas in space, I'm pretty sure we can tackle climate change without having to address the root causes!! Sounds awesome! Cheer up, kids!!

In terms of this argument 'men built the world by themselves so women should be grateful' (false btw), how were girls supposed to build and invent when they were married off and pregnant at 13? And, pregnant again at 14. And, again at 15. In repeat. And, then dead by 23.

Good article in The Observer about the Future of Humanity Institute being shut down by Oxford. The journalist who wrote it asked me for my thoughts, and here's one thing I said that didn't end up in the article:

val, again I trust don’t trust people who talk about “nice guys” much more than I do “nice guys”. Because that person is also trying to sell me something

Out of curiosity - I feel like I frequently meet adults who express that when they had a severe injury as a child, their parents didn't believe them and if/when they did get care, their parents never apologized for almost killing them. Is this common?

Good for her but Jesus Fucking Christ.

I've seen multiple posts trying to make a leftist case for the 'straight men aren't getting enough sex' nonsense by suggesting it's a symptom of a broader decline in pro-social behaviors.

As if the 'sex' in question (undesired by women) is not definitionally antisocial

If you don't believe in magic, come see our jade vine.

We should all be worried about Republicans bringing back the Comstock Act, but also we should be asking why Louis DeJoy is still U.S. Postmaster General and what Democrats are planning to do about it. He will be essential to Comstock 2.0. He should be out of a job.

One of the most stunting liberal beliefs you have to uproot is that the United States bumbles its way into the horrors it creates rather than facing the fact that they are calculated decisions on behalf of capital. It’s not short-sightedness or miscalculation, it’s empire.

Every college administrator lying about their students posing a threat is opening the door to state violence against them

Moira Donegan It's wild how often having *too much evidence* is used to discredit victims

There is no way to try assault in the perfectly sterile 'objective' environment the legal system pretends to aspire to when so many people believe sexual abuse is deserved or not real or just wholly unimportant. And the court absolutely knows that.

Tell me again about how gender is not a meaningful lens for understanding power, about how women are not an oppressed class. Look me in the eye when you say it.

At the Supreme Court, lawyers debate how many organs a woman has to lose before she can be allowed an abortion to save her life. At the New York court of appeals, lawyers declare that if a man raped too many women some of them have to shut up about it, out of fairness to him.

Unpopular opinion: Dependence on a man is not liberating for women, actually.
