It was cut for length because there was a LOT of that. Thank you!

It was hot outside, I wrote about it for @theipaper.com.

The i Paper @theipaper.com · Jul 1

"For the 20-odd years since I moved to Britain from the US, I’ve had to put up with this weather snobbery from my fellow citizens, who can’t comprehend the concept of architecture built for specific climates," writes Cat Conway

The comments on this are doing a really good job of reminding me why I don’t use this platform.

I remember this. Sigh.
This dude is like, the origin story of so much of my personality

oh for fuck sake shannon

That’s just one of life’s little ironies.
Once upon a time there were people called editors who would spot that kind if thing but it was determined spell check could do our jobs, so…

Sorry, but at this point if you genuinely think there's no difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, you are actually too stupid to function.

guess I’m not the only one who “misread” it, then.
Saying “very much all those things” is a false equivalency. Vulnerable people like you and me are rightfully scared, their access to education is literally being erased and resources are blocked. Being flippant about it is insensitive, at the least.

You don’t know any women in academia, do you.

Try google. As a PhD yourself you should understand the importance of independent research.

Dr Cat Conway @demoisellechaton.bsky.social · Feb 7

Respecting my choice not to respond is the only respect you seem interested in granting me and you need to do your own homework because I am not currently employed to be your educator.

Dr Cat Conway @demoisellechaton.bsky.social · Feb 7

Since everyone dunking on me in your replies is crowing about how they ARE both the same, ACTUALLY, I’m not the only one who allegedly misread what you said.

Keep well. I’m done here.

Dr Cat Conway @demoisellechaton.bsky.social · Feb 7

Right now, there are three by-elections that retake the House. Democrats on the ground are mobilising voters to make that happen. Elected officials are gumming up whatever they can.

Just because you refuse to see it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. But thanks for making everyone else’s job harder.

Dr Cat Conway @demoisellechaton.bsky.social · Feb 7

Go ask them then

Dr Cat Conway @demoisellechaton.bsky.social · Feb 6

Imagine still thinking the Democrats were the bad guys as being trans is effectively made illegal in the US and Gaza becomes a Trump casino.

Have the day you voted for.

Dr Cat Conway @demoisellechaton.bsky.social · Feb 6

Except you weren’t. But whatever. I see where you stand on it.

Dr Cat Conway @demoisellechaton.bsky.social · Feb 6

And they’re nice and young and blonde and subservient, just as he likes them

Dr Cat Conway @demoisellechaton.bsky.social · Feb 6

Yeah because women were never DEI candidates everrrrrr

oh I see, you’re a transphobic white supremacist.
Please take all that back to whatever rock you crawled out from under. I don’t know what gave you the impression I would be at all receptive to this rhetoric but I am absolutely not. This may be a public forum but it isn’t Mumsnet.

Are you really doing a “both parties are the same” when one wrote an entire treatise on its fascism and the other said “y’all, this is what they want to do and that’s really bad, we will not be doing that”?

Not sure why you felt I needed to see that sexual predator surrounded by girls applauding him for being able to write his name

The fact two highly qualified, amazing and influential women lost the Presidency to ~Donald Trump~ should tell you everything you need to know about how safe women are in the US.
