If you tell women to change their behaviour to avoid being raped, what you’re really saying is, “make sure he rapes the other girl instead.”

There will always be a woman who is more vulnerable less sober, less confident, with fewer friends around her, or walking alone in a darker part of town.
She deserves to be safe just as much as I do.
Safety shouldn’t depend on which woman was easier to target that night. The problem isn’t women’s behaviour. The problem is men who choose to commit rape as an act of violence.

This take is unpopular because it’s real immature, btw.

I’ve literally watched white classmates develop real empathy for Black people because of To Kill a Mockingbird. Fiction can expand how folks understand motivation, fear, contradiction. The shit essays and self help books barely touch.
Autobiographies always have a spin but good Fiction often doesn't tell you what to think. It drops you into situations where every choice costs something, and you have to sit with ambiguity and imperfect decisions, which builds REASONING.

I've learned about West African traditions, Constantinople's politics, and political struggles of the Ottoman Empire from fiction. Malcolm Gladwell is cool, but he didn't improve my vocabulary like Ursula K. Le Guin.

Fiction isn’t just entertainment. It’s mental rehearsal for being human. Escaping into a book can be as good for your brain and self regulation as meditation.

And yeah, let me add one more chaotic perception I've had: Many “non-fiction only” men I've met are uncreative as hell and tend to treat women like achievements.

No. You are perfectly capable of reading two and a half books per month, and if you’re not able to purchase books you can easily get them from the library. What’s truly anti-intellectual is trying to discourage people from reading at a time when millions aren’t reading at all.

The anti-vax movement is going to go down in history as one of the most sad, bizarre, and destructive social contagions of modern times.

[Nate Higgins @natehiggins]

It’s 2025 and we’re watching a white person abuse the power of her position in the chair of our Parliament in an attempt to silence a black woman calling out racism.

Are you kidding me?

This deserves a lot more attention. This should make you sick.

This is the natural result of decades of underfunding education and refusing to combat misinformation.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.
