here's two articles about how JK Rowling just posted on X an upskirt photo of Freda Wallace, a transgender woman, after deadnaming her and misgendering her repeatedly online.
The wealthy author escalated a social media spat that resulted in posting a photo from a 2023 event at the Institute of Economic Affairs in
Rowling posted the picture taken from below because the trans woman, she said, was "refusing to debate me."
Thank you for posting without the fucking destiel meme

i’m always thinking about that news story where a three year old boy who wandered away from his house and ended up in the middle of the woods was found by this local great pyrenees farm dog who herded the kid back to his unrelated owners house. and the guy was like. whose kid is this
that dog must have been like. hmm. this isn’t a goat. some human must have left their puppy behind by accident. i have to bring this to management. surely my owner will be able to sort out whatever has occurred. that kid was like i’m all alone and scared and omg a big fluffy puppy is here to help. and that fucking farmer looking at his dog like. who’s toddler did you steal???

Not getting a ton of reporting in US news, but the Trump administration is going after donors to Palestine, including going as far as international extradition under the guide of "counterterrorism"

just witnessed something devastating
guy on the subway with one ear pierced, little gold hoop. other guy on the subway very quickly and subtly googling "which one is the gay ear". it is not the gay ear. visible disappointment on his face as he puts his phone away.
it's really gross and dismissive to hear white people (especially white men) mock an era of social conversations that arguably would not have been happening were it not for the black lives matter movement, an era that has been labeled with a word that came from aave that was bastardized and then turned into a joke. mocking a period when people were taking casually bigoted jokes seriously and demanding that others do better because you found the people doing it sanctimonious and annoying. it just feels pretty... gross and childish.
"here's my original character, Man Who Sucks But Loves His Daughter Very Much" and it's a guy who worships at the altar of patriarchal violence and the woman he uses as an excuse and an effigy to absolve him
well i think his daughter should tell him to kill himself
I think trying to initiate societal conversations to get people to reckon with their own bigotry is actually pretty fucking hard. I think figuring out a way to communicate your point to people who aren't theory brained, aren't online, aren't plugged in, don't have any familiarity with the topic, etc is pretty fucking difficult and I think that reactionary backlash from bigots makes it even fucking harder. sorry if the "woke 1.0" era was too cringe for you or you thought the people involved were annoying. a lot of them were still extremely valuable steps that we were starting to crawl up until bigots and people who think it's fun to talk like bigots took a sledgehammer to it. and even still the fragments of those steps are still around and would be really fucking good to find if you gave a shit about other people.

there are a lot of loud online lefty commentators who speak very derisively about "woke 1.0" and who consider themselves "dark woke" (some of them use that like, half ironically, but still) which as far as I can tell mostly means saying that you believe in policies that benefit marginalized people while also gleefully using slurs and insulting people from those same marginalized groups. and maybe I'm just a snowflake but I think that's a serious problem that reflects that these people didn't learn a damn thing from what they call "woke 1.0", an era which I would argue was actually an attempt to have important fucking conversations and figure out ways to navigate doing that on a large scale. were there a lot of annoying and over zealous people? yeah. that's literally true of pretty much any group of people. but it started as a genuine attempt to talk about racism and misogyny and homophobia and transphobia etc as serious things that do a lot of damage. even when you're "just joking" or being ironic or what the fuck ever.
the fucking dark woke bullshit (I hate typing that phrase) wants to skip over the part where you have to address your own bigotry and stop making fucking jokes out of it and go straight to "I am not actively hostile to you or people like you on a personal level so it's kinda dumb of you to focus on criticizing me for using slurs when other people who make the same kind of bigoted jokes I make actually do fucking hate you"

I know I keep talking about this one stupid fucking ex senate candidate and it feels kind of dumb but this is such a pure distillation of so many of the problems I have with a lot of allegedly progressive people (who coincidentally happen to mostly be white and american). they don't give a shit about misogyny or racism, they're willing to forgive war criminals, they will sacrifice anything and anyone for any candidate who says that they have the three litmus test policy positions that these people care about. and like those positions are good, but it seems like these people won't even look into any further into their platforms or ask any questions they don't wanna know the answers to about other things these people might want to do once they get into power, etcetera. they have no interest in holding these people accountable for anything. it's disgusting and disappointing, and frankly it's what happens when a movement uncritically accepts a bunch of "ex" edgelords and doesn't push them on any disgusting shit they do so long as they say the right thing on certain topics.
and many of them will die before considering taking action outside of making commentary online and also elections

there is an internet lefty pundit who went really, really hard for graham platner, dismissed every controversy, and mocked everyone who was alarmed by any of the stories coming out, right up until the rape allegation. at that point, she immediately withdrew support. she was talking about a presidential run for him. she is surrounded by people who were also backing him heavily but she is one of a few who went above and beyond. in the wake of the rape allegation, she talked about how she was shocked and she felt betrayed by his campaign, and how devastating this was etcetera and so forth. she then did a mini podcast tour that was half "he really betrayed a lot of people.. it kinda came out of nowhere, really. he thought he was untouchable" and half "I do feel bad and like, looking back in light of this new allegation, all of those other things seem worse now, but idk I don't really regret how I acted. I think I did the best I could with the information I had I'm just sorry it ended up hurting people"
in one of those podcasts, when asked if she would have done anything different, she said "my thing is, I care about the policy and not the person. i don't care if bernie or aoc is a secret nazi, as long as they vote the right way in congress." which is an incredibly stupid thing to say. first, the idea that she wasn't invested in him as a person is laughable in its face. she wanted him to be the face of the movement. she thought he could be president. that's not how you talk about a guy you're just supporting because his platform is okay. second... I get that it's meant to be bombastic and provocative, but it missed the mark and landed with a thud in the realm of "in poor taste" and "tone deaf". what she means is that we, the public, have no way to know what's in a politicians heart, or what they do behind closed doors. the only thing we can really judge them on is their public record. which is generally a true thing. I may not love bernie or aoc, but there's nothing in their public behavior that strongly suggests alt right leanings of any sort. we have no reason to question that about them.
but platners public record, prior to this most recent allegation, involved: four tours in the military in active combat units, including time as a guard at abu ghraib - service which he was vocally proud of and which he said he enjoyed. a stint as a mercenary at the company that absorbed blackwater. a nazi tattoo. a reddit history that, while it did have some vaguely left ish posts, also included him talking about how much he enjoyed war and combat, his longing to have been able to fight in other wars like vietnam and the genocide of native americans, as well as some racism and misogyny for good measure - at best it indicates a dude with wildly inconsistent and flimsy political beliefs that are largely vibes based. a cheating scandal. and a domestic violence allegation.
there was every reason to be suspicious of this man based on information available to the public. this idea that we can't know what he's like behind closed doors doesn't hold up, because we have a lot of evidence that he should at the very least be put under heavy scrutiny for, if not outright disqualified. pretending that it's unreasonable to have expected anyone to care about what he did and what he believed in his personal life because we can't see what's in his heart, we can only judge him on his actions, does not fucking hold up. it is a uniquely bad rationalization, and she has done it on a minimum of three podcasts so far. four, if you include hers.
she is being scrutinized more than other people because a) she went so hard for him, b) she has put herself in a spotlight as a face representing the people he betrayed, c) she is not showing any signs of genuine reflection on her own culpability in this. also, frankly, no one really expects better of most of the people who are still standing by him. they're disgusting and beyond redemption. and no one else who has dropped him has been so loud about it. yes, her cohost is also extremely responsible, but he was off working on something else when this news hit. their producer guys are also on the hook but they aren't the faces of the pod. there may be some misogyny in the amount of focus she's getting but frankly I would put more blame on the other people in her ecosystem for not also stepping up and taking some of the heat off of her than I would the people who watched her and trusted her analysis and trusted her to care about people who watched her do abuse apologia and make excuses for a war criminal and are appalled.
if you must, you can also use things like sa and dv. they avoid the bad words without being childish in a way that imo inherently makes it seem like you're not taking it as seriously as you should be, because if you were taking it seriously you wouldn't fucking call it grape.
