Here's an in-depth discussion of the implications of marketing wool from gay sheep & how it "obscures the brutal reality of an industry that exploits sheep sexuality at every turn" by @gnrosenberg.bsky.social & @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social (reposting their posts too) newrepublic.com/article/2036...

"Once a farmer starts taking an animal’s consent into account, is it possible to still be a farmer?" There's the question. What female sheep can refuse being made forcibly pregnant? Why not end that sexual exploitation? But no, here's The Guardian's take www.theguardian.com/fashion/2025.... 1/2

Our piece is here. Our core argument is that a) it's very hard to determine the "sexual preference" of animals and b) the issue here is less violence against "gay animals," but rather that this case shows the schism between profitable and unprofitable animals.

Two weeks ago, Grindr put on a fashion show of wool from "gay" rams rescued from slaughter. The media and the Internet swooned. But this feel-good story is a window into the dark role of forced reproduction in animal agriculture.

Just in time for your Thanksgiving feast, @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social and I killjoy the gay ram story over at @newrepublic.com. Sorry, but *all* animal farming is predicated on exploiting the sex of farm animals. Oh, and those rams (probably) ain't gay. Enjoy!

"Animality offers oppression an alibi. A racist, xenophobic,
homophobic, transphobic, and misogynist worldview functions
within a human/animal binary. One aspect of animality used to justify oppression is that (animal-like) bodies are unruly yet manageable." Hope this helps!

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails

the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

Michael Wolff suggests in an email (in 2015) that if Trump were to say in public that he had never been to Epstein’s house or on his plane, Epstein would have leverage over him.

Which…means that Trump was at his house and on his plane and that Epstein had the receipts to prove it. So.

Stop using the language of the rapist.

It is not sex with children, it is rape of children.
It is not underage girls, it is children.
It is not sex trafficking, it is rape trafficking.
