Every friend group has that one friend who was dissected in 1854 and is now a brain in a jar of formaldehyde, screaming soundlessly from deep within a museum's basement a continent away.

When I started making artwork that directly dealt with my experiences with depression, reading about what Darwin went through was really eye-opening.
Hope your day was better than Darwin’s, on this day 165 years ago

This is the definition of cruel and unusual punishment. The state of Tennessee botched an execution and tried to hide the gory consequences as witnesses twice watched a woman survival the supposedly “lethal” injection. The death penalty is a crime against humanity.
Holy fuck. SCOTUS overturned the circuit court ruling, sending Christa Pike to her death, and then the state of Tennessee botched the execution and she’s still alive.
There are no fucking words.
There are no fucking words.
After SCOTUS allowed Tennessee execution to go ahead, Tennessee botched the execution
SCOTUS, over the liberals’ dissent, cleared the way for Tennessee to kill Christa Pike. The alarming order from DC was followed by even more disturbing developments in Tennessee.

With the evolving Cornell University story, I have been reflecting on my fourth and final year at St. Thomas University in 2015 in Fredericton.
One of my professors, Jan Wong, wanted some of our class to work on an investigative series on rape on campus.

This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7:

As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

Your life will be much better without this kind of "friend" in it. A fantastic reward in and of itself.
you will be rewarded with:
- uncomfortable silence probably
- maybe you will lose that friend idk is that such a big deal

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

All of this is happening to college students at the very beginning of their adult lives.
It shapes everything that comes after. And it shapes society for the rest of us too.
Imagine what our world would look like if all of those women had been able to complete their educations, free from violence.

Kat is right about all of this.
One of the reasons that college sexual violence is uniquely devastating is because it changes the victim’s entire future.

What about her future? What about how hard she worked to be there? What is to become of her life now? What process of justice could possibly right these wrongs? And how much more will she lose in the process of trying to get it? How much more of this are we all supposed to tolerate?

Campus rape is really widespread; statistics suggest a significant percent of women who go to college will be raped there; feminism opened up a good conversation about it around 2012-13; it's weird when people treated Cornell like an isolated rather than dramatic example of a pervasive problem.

Did you know that the author of that article gets $0 if you pay?

on Wed, trans activists took their HRT at a govt office and refused to leave without a commitment to fight those hospitals.
