I have lost count of how many articles The Australian have written about me.
“Bossy ‘feminists’ are the new patriarchy” 😂😂😂 Does The Australian do satire too?
And OMG I got them to talk about radical rudeness and Dr. Stella Nyanzi and footsoldiers of the patriarchy! I’m a fucking boss, as the youth say!
Also, I’ll always treasure that front page, kittens
Talking of front pages: here’s what The Australian and an Egyptian pro-regime newspaper have in common. Murdoch is, after all, a regime unto himself
I must admit though, my favourite has to be that I’m the “new patriarchy.”

#Saudi feminist Loujain Al-Hathloul has been in solitary confinement for more than 7 months. The #Saudi regime detained her in 2018 for her fight to end the ban on women driving & male guardianship. Support her nomination to the Nobel Peace Prize.

Loujain Al-Hathloul, 29, has been waterboarded, subjected to electric shocks and threatened with rape. We remember you, Loujain. #FreeLoujain
Here is a thread with background that I have been posting since Nov 2018 when reports first surfaced of the torture that Loujain and other detained women’s rights activists have been subjected to #FreeLoujain

How many men must we kill until men stop raping us? I will continue asking that question. It ignited a firestorm after I asked it on #qanda on Australian TV & I will keep on asking it. Half of rape victims drop out of cases even after suspect is identified theguardian.com/society/2019/n…
On that #qanda episode and in my book I quote feminist psychiatrist Judith Herman: “The legal system was designed to protect men from the superior power of the state but not to protect women and children from the superior power of men.”
And I will keep on asking that question until there is more outrage at the second half of my question as there is at the first half.

I’m about to board to start my journey home. #Australia it has been an intense and wonderful week of seeing good friends, making new ones, speaking at @UNSWCentreIdeas #unswideas, @wheelercentre #broadside2019, and appearing on #qanda. I stand by everything I said.
It is fucking ridiculous that the ABC has pulled the show from repeat views & that the government is involved via a ministerial statement & parliament inquiry. Such censorship & govt interference are dangerous & sinister esp in light of raids against the media in #Australia.
It is instructive that outrage over daily and actual violence against women and gender diverse people does not warrant such swift investigations or govt action. Instead, asking “How many rapists must we kill until men stop raping us?” terrifies white men into action.

He nearly cried when Tetsu finally pulled away, hole clenching on the phantom feel of the tongue teasing him, he’d felt his balls tightening again, gut swirling, he’d been so close, so clo---
Denki felt the air punched out of him as he was filled to the brim without warning, hips jerked backwards, hole enveloping the thick, pulsating cock to the hilt, breath caught in his throat he choked out an aborted moan around Shinsou’s cock as a second orgasm ripped through him,
painting the furs beneath him in streaks of thick semi-clear white, he loved his mates… fuck he loved them so much… always knew just how to please him, how to touch… filled him so well.

Dear friends at @Church_Militant @LifeSite and Tradition Family and Property, who write articles, start online petitions and organize protests whenever I speak. Let me save you some time and effort. Because, lately, here's what usually happens when you do this. (Thread.)
1) I am invited by a Catholic organization (school, parish, retreat center) who knows full well of my ministry to LGBT people. So the organizers are already aware of this one aspect of my Jesuit life, and are, in most places, either neutral about it or openly supportive of it.
2) This is especially the case when I am invited to speak about LGBT Catholics per se. Obviously, the organizers support this LGBT ministry, and they often invite me with the support of the local bishop, as with the LGBT family retreat at the Jesuit Center in Wernersville, Pa.

Okay, so I’m creating a master thread for this “Reviving Moderation” conference.

First thought: I feel like I’ve stepped back into 1993. So much beige.
Also, the emcee just claimed Abraham Lincoln as a moderate of his day, so... okay.
And now we’ve jumped ahead to Dwight Eisenhower.

I really, *really* want to ask him if he thinks FDR was a moderate, too.

2). A meme was flown across Twitter over the past few months, coming to my attention again yesterday. I saved it so I could do this little investigation!
3.) According to this meme:
A. U.S. Immigration passed laws in accordance with the passing of the McCarran Walters Act of 1952., Revised & Re-Affirmed in 1965.

Chapter 2, Sec.212: As the PROHIBITION OF THE ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES IF THE ALIEN BELONGS TO AN ORGANIZATION

Every day next few days I'll share one #depression/#anxiety insight from my own experience. If it helps anyone a wee bit, it'll be worth it.
1. "#Happiness" can scare #anxiety patients. In our heads, things are always going wrong. Fear of a "happy" moment undone is doubly painful.
Sorry, this won't be a daily affair as I had earlier imagined. But here's insight #2 based on my brush with #depression/#anxiety.
