"no girls want me because i'm only 5'7" is something a lot of guys think i will respond to with "i'm not like other girls, you have so much more to offer that you just can't see" when in fact i am like other girls and i find that kind of guy very boring

the giveaway that something is chat gpt is if the first word is made into a question that gives the whole thing a weirdly urgent casualness. "champagne? poured. eyebrows? on fleek" that sort of thing like a brand twitter account where there's formality lurking underneath if that makes sense

aging research is very much not my field but as far as i can tell "biological age" seems made up to make rich people feel better about themselves

yeah I feel like some degree of these beliefs is unfortunately common/widespread. every time i see someone on instagram with cancer, the comments are horrifying. i think we had done a pretty good job of keeping people like that away from the levers of policy for a long time, but not anymore

Sometimes I will randomly remember that they took away Roe v Wade and then the second wave of shell shock hits when I remember that Dobbs was 3 years ago

i also don't love that your suffering counts more if you and your children are charming on camera. parents of local fuckups shouldn't be living in fear either tbh

getting a bunch of instagram content of us citizens in my community whose parents are being deported to mexico. first was the parents of two marines, then a paletero with a daughter at stanford and another at harvey mudd crying in front of his cart. hell isn't hot enough for the people who did this

It is simply accurate to call this regime segregationist.

Grocery shopping has been extremely painful lately. But at least I'm paying more to eat because of the inscrutable whims of the most evil man alive

I’m gonna be honest: The way guys on here talk about birth rates makes my uterus want to collapse in on itself like a dying star.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

apparently they don't take responsibility for their own past, believe in irrational crazy things "like astrology" and the phrase "more like africans than asians" has been put forth twice, with him insisting that only (light skinned) cambodians of chinese descent care about education and i uh

may not surprise you to find out that this book has gotten remarkably racist. it is from 2010! i don't think i can stomach 1500 more pages of this. my question was "what does it feel like when society breaks down" and his question seems to be "what is fundamentally wrong with cambodians"

Brett Kavanaugh and his clerks need to read this --->

trying to read a book about pol pot by a british journalist who does not speak khmer and i am not sure how much to trust it when he periodically says things like "[in cambodia] girls flower into women as soon as they enter their teens, and fade when they reach 20" .... cool?

It’s not that misogyny has ever been unacceptable in public. But ten years ago there was discursive room for feminists to discuss the injustice of all the ways women’s dignity and safety are eroded by men’s sexual entitlement. Not we have to be like, “No, women’s minds are not ruled by the moon.”

“You want women to be equal in public life? But don’t you know that the institutions that structure public life contain other injustices? The demands of my very coherent moral position state that the world must be perfect before women deserve to take an equal place in it. Checkmate, feminists 😏”

It was a mistake, too, for feminists to abandon the idea that women’s inclusion in all institutions on equal terms is a prerequisite of justice in itself, no matter what the institution is.

this is a GOOD speech

It feels so relentless! Sometimes I tune it out but then sometimes the nastiness of it really hits me

"illegal aliens" i don't like to hear them talked about like that. they are not from mars they are from oaxaca

I'm glad to see the pushback here from warren but jesus things are so dark

my friend is a citizen with undocumented parents who've been here for thirty years and it is now just a mainstream opinion that these people, who've worked backbreaking jobs as long as i've been alive, should be refused medical care

i'm a scientist you pretty much nailed it
