- Reposted by ManogirlThey're trying to tell us that they always get what they want. That there is nothing so hideous that they won't do it, even if it's kidnap a five year old child and then, when they lose, really try even harder to make him suffer more. Fuck them.

- Reposted by ManogirlThe most maddening thing when talking about sex pests in media is that the genre actually doesn't matter. They're literally everywhere. And they love to form their own creepy networks. But if you respond in kind, somehow you're the problem.

- Reposted by Manogirlone of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

- Reposted by ManogirlWhen you mock someone for their appearance and/or abilities—whether they're fat, have limb difference, don't have "conventional" facial symmetry or whatever—all it does is shows that YOU are ableist or bigoted. Attack people's actions, policies, viewpoints! Not bodies. This is not hard.

- Reposted by ManogirlWe had a lot of discussion early on about "what if someone requests 100 whistles and doesn't know how to use them effectively" but our inbox tells us that 100 whistles is also dozens of potential interactions with people in their community, along with a new feeling of agency and determination.
- Reposted by ManogirlI think people often wonder this, and it's a great question, so let me explain the advantages of 3D printing whistles. There are many. The 3D printing effort started from one of our organizers who started by sourcing mass-produced whistles.

- Reposted by Manogirlwe say this guy chases polls or the Baileys or whatever, but the reality is that he’s just misaligned with Democrats. the polling is clear that this is not what Democrats want. Chuck is an ideological, pro-cop centrist. He’s saying this because it’s his policy preference. It’s what he wants.

- Here's what I know about costs going up: in 2020, at the start of the pandemic, I had to start buying DC in cans again because well, McD closed and I stopped leaving the house for work. A twelver of cans was $6.99. Six years later, that same twelver is $11.99. Fuckin' ridiculous.

- Reposted by ManogirlPlease understand that this is what is happening here. Abusive men are in a feminized network encountering mechanisms meant to protect people, and they are appealing to a popular audience attempting to undermine those mechanisms by characterizing them as shrill, hysterical, "paranoid." Feminine.

- Reposted by ManogirlI understand y'all hav valid reasons to despise some of our leaders. But using abelist language or making fun of age, disabilities, bodies, injuries, etc. is gonna be an instant block for me. Criticize policies, choices and deliberate behaviors. Stop spreading hate & shame.
