The #neilgaiman article is a reminder that men who pose as feminist allies can sometimes be the worst offenders because they know the language tht can make abuse feel confusing or worse, consensual.
And it takes years to pick through the web of beautifully articulated gaslighting
Sha'Carri missed the last games for smoking weed, Semenya, Niyonsaba and Wambui have been barred from competing because of the way they were born, yet this fucker is allowed to compete? Every single one of his teammates are cowards, the federation are cowards, and IOC are cowards
"I support genocide, I support killing all you guys."
City University of New York public safety officers attacked pro-Palestine students chanting for Palestine during a graduation at the College of Staten Island.
i hate when celebrities or anyone refers to the genocide of palestine as a “very complex situation” it is not. this is the most documented, clear cut display of colonialism and imperialism in the modern day history of the world. and a widely documented mass murder.
Guns are a uniquely American problem.
The rest of the world has mental health issues.
The rest of the world has ideological & philosophical division.
They have social media, pot, porn, cellphones & video games.
What they don’t have — is more guns than people, they don’t have more than 500 mass shootings in less than a year, they don’t have a populace paralyzed with fear that their child will be next. That THEY could be next.
At least, not until they arrive here.
After a British gunman killed 16 people in 1987, the country banned semiautomatic weapons like those he had used. It did the same with most handguns after a 1996 school shooting. It now has one of the lowest gun-related death rates in the developed world.
In Australia, a 1996 massacre prompted mandatory gun buybacks The rate of mass shootings went from once every 18 months to only one in the 26 years since.
Canada also tightened gun laws after a 1989 mass shooting.
So did Germany in 2002, New Zealand in 2019 and Norway in 2021.
Meanwhile here in America… since the Columbine massacre, there have been a total of 304 fatal school shootings in the United States.
Since 1999, 440 people have been killed and 1,243 injured in shooting events at K-12 schools.
Since Sandy Hook — mass shootings have nearly tripled.
121 people have been killed and 281 people have been injured from school shootings since Parkland.
And there have been well over 100 incidents of gunfire at K-12 schools since the Uvalde school shooting.
In 2023, in the 632+ mass shootings recorded, 597 people died and 2,380 people were injured.
In total last year in this country - more than 40,000 people died from gun violence. That is an average of almost 118 gun deaths each day.
Every year, approximately three million kids are exposed to gun violence.
This. Is. An. American. Problem.
There are more civilian owned guns in this country than there are civilians.
It’s not the pot, the porn, the video games, it’s not the wrong kinds of locks, or too few “good guys with guns”, and it’s not the mental health issues.
Every country on earth has those things. And they don’t live this way.
It’s the guns.
To get an idea at how bad things are, these nations didn’t release a joint statement over TWELVE THOUSAND CHILDREN being murdered, but as soon as trade takes a hit—
BREAKING: South Africa files case against Israel at the International Court of Justice for genocide.
“Acts by Israel are GENOCIDAL in character, as they are committed with the requisite specific intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza.”
On the international day for children around the world
More than 6000 Palestinian children in Gaza got killed in the last 43 days by the Israeli army
Thousands more lost their entire families, parent and loved ones.
Ceasefire now

Your yearly reminder that Columbus’ wrongdoing wasn’t “normal for the time.” His torture of indigenous people was so horrible he was recalled to Spain & used by the rest of Europe to criticize Spanish colonialism. There’s no reason to celebrate him. They knew not to in the 1500s
