gameshow voice: is it gay subtext or are the writers just so catastrophically bad at writing female characters that the only relationships in the entire story that feel human are the ones between the men.

excerpts from erin in the morning's article on the ioc's ban on transgender women and sex testing policy

mortalityplays

there is no single argument against including trans women in sports that doesn't boil down to "women aren't supposed to be good at this" and it's fucking insane to me that every woman in the world isn't up in arms about the way this issue has laid institutional misogyny bare to the bone

the thing about nonfiction is you come out of it with several more books to put on your to be read list and it's only gonna branch out from there so really the only solution is to read every book in human history starting at the beginning

The attack on Saturday morning hit Shajareh Tayyebeh schoolin the city of Minab, in Hormozgan province, as the United States and Israel began launching strikes on targets across Iran.

The victims were between seven and 12 years old, according to Iran's Tasnim and Fars news agencies." End id]

*about to accidentally reveal an experience gap through my rash generalization about what i believe to be wrong with greater society based on a single event that happened to me personally* and another thing about how chaste today's clowns are,

#sorry this tweet is just not fucking true #the first people the Nazis targeted were communists and socialists #and the first concentration camps were used to imprison them #AND. it should be noted. that they disproportionally targeted jewish communists #so that even though the early camps weren’t explicitly meant to imprison jews they still were much more likely to be arrested and imprisoned #can we start doing a bare minimum of research before we start jumping to these comparisons I am fucking begging you people #any decent historian will not be this vague about who the nazis targeted. they made it perfectly fucking clear who they were going after #that’s why one of the first things they did in 1933 was organize a boycott of jewish businesses #sorry I am just so fucking sick of these poorly thought out comparisons to nazi germany going around completely uncontested

ive always been willing to die on the hill of cis women being able to beat cis men in sports so nobody will ever ever make me concerned about trans women in womens sports even if i was delusional enough to believe that was a comparable situation. do i think a cis woman could beat a trans woman in fucking pickleball or whatever? Buddy I think a cis woman could beat a cis male bodybuilder in sports. You will not get me

Research has shown that women, due to specific reasons, have regularly produced faster times than men in marathon swimming.

The sport’s governing body says there is little difference in performance between genders. Should men and women compete head-to-head as indi

Uncover the unique differences between men’s and women's gymnastics at the Olympics. Explore how these events contrast in style and rules.

Women outperform men in many sports, and in many instances, the men's versions of these sports are rewritten into completely different versions so that they can't be compared.

And if your reaction to this is "well women don't outperform men in skills that we typically find impressive" I would implore you to think about why things women tend to be better at than men are valued less by society.

If your reaction is "well that's cherrypicking examples, its such a small handful of formalized sports" I'd implore you to think of why so many popular sports are structured around the specific set of skills men are better at.

Because the answer starts with m and ends with isogyny.

2026 I Will Not Obsessively Ruminate On Stupid Bullshit That Makes No Sense And Is Not Real

endykelopaedia

forgot how white this website is and expected there to be more uproar about the US bombing my home country, nigeria, on christmas day. my mistake!

endykelopaedia

Sokoto state, a majority Muslim state in north-west Nigeria was bombed on Christmas day. It is still unclear how many bombs were dropped and where. Confirmed is a bomb dropped on a Mosque in Jabo, killing 5 people.

Trump has claimed that this is in retaliation of the "Christian genocide" happening in Nigeria, committed by "radical Islamists" of the ISIL (ISIS), and the specific choosing of Christmas day was to reify that this is a religious based retaliation.

This Christmas, I am in Nigeria. My family is majority Christian. We are without fear of being persecuted on the basis of our religion. So, what is going on?

There is no Christian genocide in Nigeria. Nigeria is a complex country that faces a lot of violence, exploitation and subsequent neglect from our government. But it is not Christians being targeted in our country. This insidious piece of misinformation has been dutifully organised by US officials for months and gained steam on platforms like X and Truth Social.

I do not believe though, that this action was done to fight Islamic terrorists or protect Nigerian Christians. The reason being:

Sokoto state is not a state with ISIL activity.

This is another display of US throwing its weight around, conveniently, onto the most oil-rich country in Africa.

Do not believe everything the US tells you about its foreign affairs. The US will gladly spill blood on the flimsiest of justifications just to continue gorging its empire.

Please keep love in your hearts for the Nigerian people.
