- Reposted by Chrissie PaintingOn trans Bluesky, there are many posts circulating describing Epstein's anti-trans views and ties to prominent transphobes. Anti-trans politics fit neatly into all of this because the existence of trans people threatens the idea that men are naturally superior to women.
- These men hate the left, labor organizing, feminism, #metoo, and human rights movements because all of these are pushing for equality and accountability, presenting a threat to these men's ability to dominate and abuse with impunity.
- Have you voted for your favourite 3 critters for Bug of the Year? If not, show some love for noke waiū, an enormously long hairy noodle that can glow in the dark! Head to bugoftheyear.ento.org.nz to vote by Feb 16th. @tepunahamatatini.bsky.social @siouxsiew.bsky.social
