Yes all cops. Do Piracy. Trans rights.

Mexico amends its constitution to cut the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030 and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss’s calls, messages, and emails after their shift ends, in the most significant overhaul of Mexican labor law in a generation.

I remember trying to look up clover references, so I searched clover. Prior to the update it would have given me photography and stock images in abundance, interspersed with art, and I could further limit my field to be ONLY photography or stock images. This time around: it gave me Clover, the character from Totally Spies, specifically involved in inflation art, because that's what the algorithm decided to push at me since it wasn't massively popular and it clearly needed more attention. I couldn't narrow my search, because the references I wanted were old and thus had no keywords. Mass-uploaded photos by amateurs and professionals alike often just had numbers for a title. There was no way out. It was just me against the Clover inflation art.

they can cry it’s about ‘biological sex’ all they want but that absolutely falls apart when your actual law says it’s literally about cis people feeling “discomfort or distress” at the thought of sharing a space with a trans person even if that trans person shares the same ‘biological sex’ as they do

toxic masculinity predated the popularity of the term male loneliness epidemic, and even that was first popularly used in an article about gay men struggling with lack of touch due to men being socialized to not be affectionate. Straight men didn't come into the picture later with incels adopting it as a push to pressure women into casual sex- literally the opposite of the initial meaning (gay men have decent amounts of casual sex which does not alleviate the problem).

So based on that information the issue has existed unnamed for a long time. Depression is another term used for this problem a lot, and the decreased life expectancy from men's significantly more fatal suicide attempts (because guns and weapons are primarily chosen for gendered reasons). Based on that we can see there likely was a sharp uptick around the time of collapsing third spaces where men no longer have anywhere to go to hang out with friends, exponentially increased by difficulty having your own property (to make things like massive DND tables for gaming nights to host). Combined with increasing social media problems and that impact on mental health, it's likely that men were hit with "skin hunger" more often than women who comfortably touch other people more casually than men do. This can have psychological effects of increased mood dysregulation, anxiety, loneliness, and other mental health impacts.

I would disagree that women have it the exact same experience of this change though because women tend to deal with things like eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and sexual assault as more key issues that are worsened for their demographic in the past couple of decades. Women are likely dealing with something along the line of hypervisibility where authentic connection is difficult to find. In contrast men face some of those issues, but even when presented with the opportunity to physically touch people they tend not to do it affectionately which is what wears on the mental health a lot.

Rejecting platonic touch itself is a fairly modern issue- it coincides with increased city infrastructure development in britian and north america as well as puritan fears of homosexuality. The people who worried the most about being outed for homosexual relationships (called something else at the time) would have been upper class. Lower class people could get away with more homosexual sex acts, if they were topping. This was related to retaining masculinity. Effeminate gay bottoms were the full spectrum of "trans women" "non-binary" and "gender non-conforming man" that later got separated out by later models of gender and sexuality, so it was heavily stigmatized. So when platonic touch became associated with queerness a couple hundred years ago, it was a slow tailspin of problems for the ability of men to find platonic companionship that's considered to be psychologically important for basic human welfare i.e. close friends you can hug. (Hugs per day is actually a common metric this stuff is studied in. Men tend to be hugged by their significant other(s), mothers, and not their same gender friends or fathers- and the hugs between men are rougher, shorter, and have less physical contact.)

President Donald Trump blamed the Capitol riot on former President Joe Biden, claiming that “THE BIDEN FBI” had placed agents in the crowd that had assembled in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6. 2021.

Trump’s post came in the wee hours of Sunday, at 12:38 a.m.

“THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6,” he wrote on Truth Social. “If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies.

What a SCAM – DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT”

"There was no attempt to engage. No appearance of curiosity. No indication that they had come to listen. They had come to perform."

This doesn't just mean, "Don't automatically think negatively of ugly people," btw.

It ALSO means, "Don't automatically think positively of attractive people." It means, "Don't assume someone is correct because they're charming, or funny, or eloquent."
