Happy birthday Mewtwo!
Nearly back on our feet, but have had to deal with some issues with our bank and bills unexpectedly that mean we could use a little assistance. Even a few bucks does a lot. Thank ya.
Coming off of Covid, and haven't been able to work. Getting back into making many happy or gripping things for everyone, but if you want to help with gas and groceries while I dig into work, it'd be wonderful.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

One of the most powerful things I ever heard from a victim of abuse was 'they only need to persuade other men they're not abusers, and they're all great at that'. It's why every woman sees luminous neon warning signs, and men don't see anything.
The onus is on men to believe, look, see.

For fuck's sake this is not "how men behave" it's how abusers behave. To whatever extent it's how too many men behave, it's because those men are abusers.
And people who cater to abusers ... are also abusers. David Gelernter should never be allowed near students again.

Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind."
This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students.

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:
In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles.
"The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.
