Multiple women came forward and their complaints were ignored.

This is the culture Hegseth wants to foster.

He doesn’t want women to be safe.

He won’t let them come forward anonymously.

Rape culture is alive and well.

I don't think he wants women in the military at all, tbh...

And, thank you! I hope you had a great day!

Truth be told, even here on bluesky it feels like a similar situation except for the opposite party. Here it's like a Democrat echo chamber, where as on 🐦, it's a republican echo chamber. Granted, the good thing being that at least bluesky feels like somewhat of a safe space.

especially friends! Anyway, I hope you're doing okay otherwise. If youre up for the movies like I said Frndly has that 99c deal or we can watch some random ones. I know what it's like to not be in that mindframe though so no stress about it at all.

there than I did on the bird if that's what is important.
I would highly suggest having an acct that's not listed in your linktree to avoid the *holes who seem to follow you around just to harass you. I hate that you're still dealing with that! I hate when good people get treated like crap and

It's less stressful for me to voice my opinions there because it's usually on someone's post vs my own acct page. The stuff I share the most about is from my chronic illness acct which also serves as an awareness platform for multiple causes, news and information. I feel I make more of a difference

As much as I hate supporting META I'm on Instagram. Mainly for my chronic illness and art communities and tv depending on which acct I'm on. I feel like I'm able to get well informed by some key people on there that aren't here or the bird. Really it's a lot of stuff with my family though.

because that was draining. I got a lot of harassment for talking about masking, comorbidities, dangers of covid and being immunocompromised. Oh and homelessness conversation. That's always a "fun" one.
I didn't have a lot of issues with the trans support discussions. I think only once or twice.

saying we're making shit up and self-diagnosing rare diseases and doing it for attention. Things like it's so popular to have EDS or POTS. People giving others shit for sharing mutual aid posts. The worst though was the covid arguments. It's why I started spending the majority of the time on my TV

On my regular acct on the Xbird I only had political issues a few times. Usually when I talked about welfare, school lunch programs and disabled low income people. Mostly what I got there was harrassment for disability and chronic illness. Surprisingly many doctors who ganged up on disabled people

sense of power if only for a moment.
It was a VERY safe space until recently. It's still pretty safe for most because of the fact there are so many aligned people to jump in if someone says anything negative. That's one benefit to the echo chamber!
More people to have your back.

who are being negatively affected there. I only had a few isolated incidents there but I report people diligently and will go to the point of seeing who they're connected with to see if they should be reported as well. They just go and make new accts of course but at least I feel like I had some

The echo chamber is kinda the running joke here! lol
My son said he lasted a couple of days then bailed.
One good thing are the moderators are pretty on top of things here vs there but I too feel the need to make a difference in raising awareness for the misinformation and to be an ally for those
