🧵 So I wrote the Wired story on the burnerverse, and as part of my reporting, I spent months reading and listening to the convos 20-something men have when they think no one is looking.

It's easy to dismiss the Cornell 7 as outliers, or super privileged frat bros, or byproducts of the Greek system. They're not.

It's also easy to say they're the worst-case scenario. That they represent the nadir of toxic masculinity, or a culture that teaches men from an early age that young women's bodies are disposable. But they don't.

That Snapchat thread? That's the norm. That's the baseline. That type of language is EXTREMELY consistent with the convos these guys are having when they think no one is paying attention. Because most of the time, no one is.

coverage about “looksmaxxing” missed the crucial point that it’s not about ‘optimization’. it’s a fascist on-ramp that encourages violence against women& children by insisting on sexual dimorphism - the basis of gender hierarchy, which in turn justifies gender based violence

Jesus fucking christ. They made a woman appear for a criminal court arraignment even though she was 9 months pregnant and she gave birth while handcuffed to a bench *inside the courtroom*

Did you know a Palestinian man is responsible for designing some of the world's most iconic symbols?

The "no smoking sign," the male-female bathroom sign – and so, so much more.

Today marks the launch of the trailer – and the kickstarter – to make this film a reality:

I’d like just one of these idiot 22 year old radfems to explain to me what policy solutions they have to end sex work which aren’t “more cops, more raids, more entrapment stings, push sex workers even further into the margins where they’re easier to exploit.”

psa: if you have SNAP & live in NYC, you’re eligible for Healthy Bucks for cheaper groceries! Healthy Bucks is a city program to shop at local farmers markets with SNAP. You can spend $10 and receive $20 worth of produce including fresh fruit and veggies.

As we shred tens of billions bombing a sovereign nation unprovoked, tap water in southern West Virginia looks like this.

Revolutionary Joy is children in Palestine and Lebanon and in Sudan finding space to play amongst rubble. Not a bunch of mid 40s-60s white people doing the cupid shuffle outside an ICE facility or at a demonstration that's allegedly Anti-Fascist.
