Love using mathematics to prove weird facts like this.

maybe intersectionality isn’t a game of who can be oppressed in the most ways but rather a framework for understanding our relationship to power.

Good presentation on ologs.

This blog post shares such a radically different view of transmasculinity that I’m not sure how to process it.

Knot theory is far more complicated than I initially gave it credit. Would love to learn how they found the counter example via computer search.

whatever sort of sexual degeneracy you think is being normalized in society because of triggering erotica is an absolute drop in the bucket compared to the fact that the current standards and norms of romance and sex are barely one degree of separation from what they were when women were explicitly considered property.

People’s body autonomy surrounding food is violated traumatically all the fucking time. unfortunately because we consider dinner to be a neutral activity and sex to be this incredibly fraught and almost magical one, we ignore the massive amounts of coercion, pressure, and violation surrounding food.

I think the advice the author gives is silly. It ignores the human tendency to respond to criticism. Furthermore, the advice they give goes both ways: why are people who don’t need the advice or feel like it doesn’t apply interpreting it in bad faith and so complaining about it to OP?

I now prescribe some actual solutions to this problem as the author describes it. One is to not have your posts leave the context they were written in (e.g. private accounts, insulated networks a la Hometown, or even tag whitelists). Another is to not allow people to comment on your post, or at least make referring to it relatively inconvenient (e.g. the blogosphere), and so just let it sit. A final suggestion is to not post advice at all. This last one ignores the human desire to share with others, and so really reads as “stop using social media.” Ah, well.

Interesting posts on sexual consent.

Wonder what Tom Dougherty would think of this post.

The ideal household has three people in it: one who would rather cook for three than ever have to do laundry or dishes, one who would rather do three peoples’ dishes than ever have to cook or do laundry, and one who would rather do three peoples’ laundry than ever have to cook or wash dishes.
