"War on Women"--that's a term I used to hear a lot but haven't heard in a long time. Is that just because I'm off most social media, or because our oppression has now been completely normalized and/or it's deemed transphobic to even mention how women are oppressed?

I have always wished I had the superpower of puffing up like a blowfish with sharp venomous spines when in danger so that I could go wherever I wanted at any time and any man that tried to grab me would be impaled and poisoned. What a hell world where any girl or woman has to fantasize about this.

@AnneBevan @WendyCarter Selfies have filters, Zoom sessions don't. They love looking at themselves when they can be as fake as possible. Live video feed (with a microphone, oh noes!) just shows how male they are.

All climate models will have to be redone. Iron doesn't trap carbon in the massive amount of thawing permafrost as was once expected.https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/02/210209113807.htm

Tennessee bill would allow a male partner to block a woman's right to an abortion. https://www.thecut.com/2021/02/tennessee-bill-would-give-men-power-to-veto-abortions.html

@Trashdove I save different colored string for art projects. And then I never actually do art projects.

@RockTheBoat @Yemaya Those from well-off families typically don't take out student loans for public colleges and universities. It's those from poor and middle class that do it to survive and have no other options. Student loan forgiveness would automatically provide relief to those who truly need it. And it would also stimulate the economy and create a lot of jobs, again helping those who truly need it.

@Lilitu @diversity_racket @kathleenbee @thepaltrysum I talked to a lot of voters during the 2016 primary, across the country, registered in various parties or none. I heard over and over "I'm voting for Bernie but if he's not on the ballot, I will vote for Trump or not vote". People were pissed and their lives sucked and Hilary and the Dems certainly weren't offering anything except to their corporate masters. If people don't see an improvement in their material wellbeing they will demonize those worse off than them, act out, and look to a demagogue for the answers.Trump didn't really improve their lives but he validated their anger while the Democrats didn't and won't offer anything to actually improve ordinary people's lives. With no place left to go politically, some will stick with Trump or whomever comes next because at least he makes them feel part of something.

@kathleenbee @thepaltrysum @Chronic-Yonic @diversity_racket My friend said the other night "The Republicans don't want to help people and the Democrats do." I almost fell out of my chair. NEITHER PARTY WANTS TO DO DAMN SHIT TO HELP PEOPLE! When they have the power to do so, they help Big $$$ not people!

I had a nightmare last night that I was being exposed to high levels of testosterone and when I looked in the mirror I freaked out because I had a full mustache. I hadn't noticed because I was always wearing a facemask. 😷 Trans cult and COVID anxiety all rolled into one!

@Gelatinousrube They always escalate. Men will get away with all they are allowed to get away with.

I got asked my pronouns today (not at work thank goodness) and I ignored the question for the first time. Nope, not doing that anymore.

Spinster is like the modern equivalent of Women's Consciousness-Raising Groups.
