Maybe one of the reasons I feel less threatened by the right than the left is that it feels like it's much easier to violate the bad laws implemented by the right than it is the bad laws implemented by the left
My friends were doin drugs like weed and psychedelics even when they were illegal. You can at least manage to do abortions even when illegal, you can still have romantic relationships with the same gender (tho you can't get married), you can do sex work under the radar. BUT
Want to run a business without a license? Want to not pay taxes? Want to hire employees without bundling their healthcare in to it too? These things all feel much more dangerous, they leave paper trails, and way more points of weakness for other people noticing and reporting you

The largest survey dataset on human sexuality in the world is now yours to explore!
This is an extremely powerful tool that allows you to answer almost any question you have about sexuality correlations.
Let's take a tour through some cool stuff I found at bigkinksurvey . com:
People who say they have secure attachment, report having the highest number of sexual partners.
The more mental illnesses someone has, the higher bodycount they report. This spikes for males at the tail.
our ancient curse was that men go die in wars and women do childrearing. but we've gone and lifted men's curse and not women's, and the resulting fury at the inequality is the thing we call feminism. we won't find equality again until we solve childrearing
Re: everyone being like nooo children are great
Yeah ok they are great. I believe you. But moms are clearly in the trenches and from the outside it looks rough
Also jfc obviously men still die in wars but the percentage is way way lower than it used to be.
Just searched my name on Twitter and basically 99% of the (high number) of mentions are viciously negative. It's so crazy that just being an openly weird slutty woman generates such universal hate, completely unaffected by high commitment to (trying to be) kind and truth seeking
the thing about this that makes me saddest isn't that people hate me, but the overwhelming hate with nobody defending me. People are ashamed publicly to support me, they don't want to be called a simp or cringe. I get it but it's a little pang that makes me feel alienated
I think I had some shock when I saw how positive the reception was to the decker photo. People just overwhelmingly called him based, chad, respect for him increased. I knew it would be better than the way people treated me but I don't think I expected the gap to be so huge
Thread of photos from families in each quartile of income in the world: first photo is from the poorest 25%, last photo is richest 25%.
Based on these photos, which income bracket are you in?
First up: Toilets
i've heard ppl who lost a lot of weight talk about some angry cynicism when people start treating them better, even ppl they've known for a long time.
I'm having a bit of that now that twitter seems to like me. i've been consistently myself this entire time, what's happening.
literally last weekend i had multiple ppl come up to me at a party and go 'oh are you aella? i see you on twitter cause everyone hates you'.
if the thing that causes ppl to like me is that i just publicly was patient and knowledgeable with a doofus then this feels kind of shallow and fickle and bad incentives for me. Like what, i win the tribal allegiance game by doing very easy, low-brow things? oh no
i feel like i got friendly with the anti-woke coalition over the past few years, but now it feels like they're walking off a plank into extremism and i feel frustrated about it. Being anti a bad thing doesn't make you right by default; righteous revenge is not compassion
i cant believe i went through years of being super trans-cancelled, shinigami eyes labeled a transphobe due to my sin of being nuanced, and now im feeling like im about to become an insane woke trans defender in the eyes of those who moved further right than me
maybe this is cliche af but my calibration method is something like "Imagine you were really, deeply in love with someone, but also had good boundaries around not overexerting yourself, betraying yourself, or lying. From love, what would you say, how would you act?"
