I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.
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

1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature.
It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.
The House is voting on it today.
