At the hands of other MEN you fucking ignoramus misogynist shit
We need a word for man on man crime. Oh I know!

PATRIARCHY

We keep telling you it hurts men too but you’re too fucking busy telling us we’re too ugly for you to fuck us, as if we were waiting for your pathetic penises.
FIMS*

My goal for 2020: to get the half-sleeve tattoo done on my upper left arm - Arabic calligraphy of women’s erotic and love poetry.
I don’t have 5yr plans. Or 10yr plans. Just every day plans of the fuck-the-patriarchy kind.
I will write but I am increasingly pulled towards longer essays and not 800-1000 word opeds that I’ve written so often over past two decades. I’m bored with reacting to headlines. I want to make and influence headlines, not react to them.

My #2019ReadingGoal was to read a book per week. Yesterday I finished book #50. I’m now trying to decide on the two books to take me to my goal. I will write about it all at the beginning of the year. I have LOVED it.
I have focused on writers of colour, especially queer womxn. Next two books will probably be by Nigerian and Omani women. #2019ReadingGoal
I’ve collected all the books I’ve read this year together on a shelf and I’m excited to post a picture of the pile! #2019ReadingGoal

Hey @ABCaustralia - you praise #PromisingYoungWoman 👇🏽

Its premise is what I asked on @QandA: How many rapists must we kill before men stop raping women?

You’ve banned episode of Q&A I was on because I asked that. Is it because I’m not white & blonde? mobile.abc.net.au/news/2019-12-1…
Should I dye my hair blonde next time @ABCaustralia?
Is it because I’m not white and blonde @ABCaustralia?

Oh yeah guys remember that dude in the square in dbh playing his guitar and singing? Doing his little Jim jam?

So anyway,

Connor, a deviated android post-revolution who never met Hank, opts out of returning to the DPD and instead finds a love for music.
It's slim pickings for an artist, even doubly so for an android one. There's still a lot of hate out there, and more often than not he's typically faced with bigots chasing him away than sympathetic ears willing to listen to what he creates. Him and his second-hand guitar.
He makes maybe a few bucks a day, if he's lucky. Enough to buy maybe a coffee, which would be nice, if he could drink any.

Connor spends his days playing away out on the street where he can. He doesn't have vocal cords like a human, so his voice never tires. He doesn't grow

I just finished a stint in @Twitter jail for "hate speech" (I quoted Jay-Z's song "The Ballad of OJ & used the N word instead of some euphemism like ni99a).

Whoever is in charge of "hate speech" at @Twitter is more dedicated to silencing black folk than actual hate speech.
@Twitter In any case.

Recently I gave a brief, incomplete primer on white supremacy. Any time I discuss racism, I’m obligated to confront my own internal biases, and check my own internalized #misogyny.
@Twitter What follows is directed to any men reading this. Any women reading this: please feel free to add to, amend, or correct this diatribe. The LAST thing I want to do is mansplain misogyny to women.

First of all, all #patriarchy is sexism.

1/ It’s unfortunate that in today’s world of an instant information nation, both the ability to (1) receive info, and ability to (2) tweet/post/publish opinions, that we as humans naturally feel that we must defend/spin/advance our agenda IMMEDIATELY after an unfortunate event.
2/ In any policy debate, there will be exceptions to each side’s “narrative.” Everyone knows this. Pundits who pontificate daily know this, but so do regular people. Anyone who says otherwise is not being honest.
3/ Gun control won’t solve all gun crime. Getting rid of gun control won’t solve all gun crime. Both sides know this, but both sides argue as if that’s not the case.

In my neighbourhood there was a serial sex predator breaking into women's homes and sexually assaulting them in their own beds. It's bad enough that women routinely have to take more precautions than men to do basic things like go for a walk or a jog. 1/ #sexualassault #crime
I can't describe to you what it's like to be afraid to do something as necessary as falling asleep in your own bed at night. This is what happened to many women in my neighbourhood. 2/ #VAW
At the time this was going on, a lot of women talked to me about their fear, about being afraid in their own homes, being unable to fall asleep or stay asleep in their own beds. There were a lot of exhausted women in my neighbourhood. 3/ #crime #fear

"Flood the Zone with Shit."
-- Steve Bannon
When you ask why CNN, for instance, regularly hosts Rick Santorum, for instance, remember the Bannon Cannon: Flood the Zone with Shit.
--thread
2. There are individual journalists doing everything in their power to save the republic, this noble experiment. There are some media houses, particularly print media, that are too.
By and large TV media empires are, without exception, in the Flood the Zone with Shit business.
3. There is no excuse for any legitimate news organization to ever spread a lie.
That is a fact.
The idea of "balance" cannot be so twisted that it leads to "Balance the truth with a lie." It simply can't. To claim so is to flood the zone with shit.
