  • I’ve managed better than a lot of people, and it’s because I have been incredibly gifted with some of the best friends I could ever ask for.

    I agree that it won’t end until humanity ensures it ends. I don’t want to sound pessimistic, but I don’t believe that will ever happen. It may be reduced, and I hope it is, but I don’t think it will ever go away. The most important thing is early and empathetic help. We need to be better as a society in reaching out to those that have been hurt and giving them all the support they need. This stretches well beyond sexual abuse, too. Mental health is something we are culturally just now embracing, and we need to be more proactive about it. We need to create safe spaces for those that need it before we know there are those that need it, lest we let those in truly difficult times endure the worst of it. We can do better. And while I don’t think it will ever end, I think we can do better about helping those in trouble. No one deserves it, and no one deserves to suffer because of it.


















  • Fine, I won’t use any form of grammar or spell check on this post, so you can shove the AI argument up your ass.

    It’s fine to call me out that I shifted positions, so I’ll connect them so you don’t think I’m moving the goal posts. Accountability isn’t separate from atrocities, it determines whether they stop or continue unabated. We’ll look at Minab, since that seems to be something you like to talk about. The details about that came from inside the house… US goverment officials leaked that to PBS and Bloomberg. The government’s own people exposed it to the press. That doesn’t happen in China. And your idea of equal is itself unequal. You are weighing the foreign actions of the US with your thumb on the scale, and then looking at what China does within its own borders as though those people don’t matter. Humans are humans. It doesn’t matter where the problem occurs. Whether China is acting within its own borders or without, it’s still a boot crushing humans, and fuck you if you think otherwise, honestly. And as far as the argument for the US getting worse, I don’t disagree. However, the reason you know it’s getting worse is because you can read about it in our own papers.
