Also, how often do cops get falsely called on folks in a weaponized way in California? There are some well-known examples, but does that anecdotal evidence point to a larger issue? And in several prominent cases (i.e. barbecue becky, the woman who called the cops on the kid selling water, the guy chalking his house),…

I am fortunate enough to have a job, and there is no way I am going to spend $500 on a console in this uncertain economic climate when my PS4 looks fine and I have a bajillion games I still need to play. I was also a late adopter to the PS4, so maybe I’m not the best example, but it does seem ill advised to release an…

Thank you for this, Ashley. People in my feeds have been mocking her, but I don’t think it is funny. It’s dangerous. We laugh at how ridiculous Trump and the conservatives are, but in the meantime they are in power and causing a lot of damage. And to their base, this makes perfect sense.

I don’t wanna kink shame anyone - if you wanna watch your wife bang a young dude, that’s great. Not for me, but whatever. But then don’t try to activate your followers to oppress other people, man.

I’m an old straight white guy, and what worries me about todaytimes is that it seems like being a racist, sexist, homophobic shitbird is what passes for being transgressive to some of the youth these days. And I think that far-right extremist groups are actively involved in recruiting these kids first by getting them…

yeah, that was some grade a bullshit. Also, this “since white dudes run the world, all white dudes never experience any adversity and all of us are equally complicit in the fascist shitshow that is this government” is bullshit. The republican party is basically white identity politics playing poor whites off of poor…

I want him to revisit UGK’s catalogue.

I just want the gross racial stuff gone. I want to see hot asian people fuck without gross “me so horny” things. I wanna see hot black people fuck without gross “bull” references. I’d also like the misogyny gone. And the incest.

I started buying physical copies a couple years ago, and I have a ton of comics on a tablet. I love the ritual of going to the store, getting the books, and reading them. i love how the art looks in the physical copies. I love letting my friends borrow them. i love having a stack of comics to sort through. I love…

Part of the reason why I have posted stuff on my feeds is so that my POC friends and colleagues can see that I do actually care about this and it is taking up space in my life and it matters to me and I realize that I am a part of the system enabling this racist violence. It is my small, insufficient way of saying I…

The (white lady) friends I know who are posting are feeling really fucked up and upset about things, and are trying their best to deal with it in at least some way. Knowing them, it doesn’t feel performative. It feels like this is one way they are channeling their grief and rage. I posted some stuff too, because I am…

Also, there are some great catch 22's here. If you say nothing you are being silent and complicit. If you say something, you are silencing other voices and centering yourself. If you retweet a black activist, then you are using black people to make yourself look woke. Not to mention piling onto the well-meaning…

Are you a doctor? No? then shut the fuck up. Or listen to a doctor. better yet, listen to a doctor in spain or italy, where they are overrun with COVID patients and are having to decide who lives or dies because they do not have the capacity to treat everyone.

I see the deification of black people all over people working on or at least sympathetic to social justice issues. I’ve been hearing “elect black women” and “hire black people” for the past three years. There has been a shift in social justice nonprofits to fire their white lady ceos and get a black man or woman ceo.…

My parents had a family friend who was a drag queen (who identifies as male), and he was integral to my conceptions of masculinity and gender growing up. To see the possibilities of what being a “man” could entail, even if I chose not to explore what he was modeling, was invaluable to me. I think there is a net…

It also seems like they are so committed to women as victims that they can’t imagine a world where women have agency and choose to do things that the leaders of NOW don’t approve of.

Someone in my twitter feed was like ‘klobuchar is the candidate that will be able to DESTROY Trump in the debates,” and all I could think was that trump could eat his boogers during the debates and his fans would still vote for him. The debates between T and the dem candidate are going to be totally useless. There is…

“Three said they were marginalized by the campaign and felt that their problems only worsened when they were addressed to higher-ups and human resources. Megan Lewis, a field organizer who left in December after a seven-month stint, said that there despite filing an HR complaint about the off-putting atmosphere of…

I spent time in Italy. From my experience it was a pretty sexist society and seemed decades behind what I was seeing in California in regards to women’s rights. Maybe that’s changed in the last 15 years.

I appreciated him calling out how he felt. However.
