oh absolutely, we are here. it’s just that it isn’t new. it’s always been the rich in charge since humanity started organizing. sometimes they’re a little less open and obvious about it, and now they’re making themselves quite open. it is *always* a struggle to assert our rights against them

when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment *even after the schools ended any racial preferences* then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"
I genuinely think we should start calling businesses and schools falling to the anti-DEI movement “segregationists” because they are re-segregating. And earlier rounds of segregationists *also* explained their preferred policy in race-neutral terms (“state’s rights” and “freedom of association”).

Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man
The responsibility for resisting and correcting this behavior shouldn’t fall solely on a specific gender. If you’re a man of conscience and you see another man mimicking Nick Fuentes, fuck him up on sight before the women even get a chance. I mean that.

I saw a patient last week with ME who in 2023 was told by the MECFS service to ‘get back to the gym’. She did 20 minutes, collapsed and hasn’t walked since. The advice is still out there, still wrong and the harm is real.
Cochrane is stubbornly refusing to withdraw the 2019 review recommending exercise therapy for ME/CFS despite being supplied with ample evidence that it doesn't work and causes harm for #pwME with post exertional malaise.

In honor of that, I ask you to get a card to your local public library today!
If you ALREADY have a card to your local public library, check out their digital resources! Their summer programs!
And yeah, they have books too.

Spot on criticism. Adams Family is weird to the bone.
Look at Gomez. He would be passable but he’s criminally insane with a love for life, his wife and pinstripes. And you can’t hide that.

The 11th annual international Gender Census 2024 is now open until at least 13th June 2024!
survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
