Someone asked a while back if it’s acceptable to point out Trump’s mental health and dementia and say he’s unfit.
Is that ableism?
No.
Mental health and cognitive health are necessary for presidency. Being in a wheelchair or losing a limb or something has no impact on mental abilities.
There was more than one woman (supposedly). And it was women who worked for him or with him.
Sorry I can’t give you a resource as I saw a video by such a woman on Instagram and the search feature on Instagram is basically garbage. I can’t find it but if I come across it again I’ll reply and add it.
I believe she said she used to work for him (or with him) and that he harassed multiple women there. And said that multiple women have come forward but I only saw her video.
So I’m not trying to spread false information. I can’t confirm that info but that’s what I recall she said.
That’s different than 1 woman who may have ulterior motives like revenge. Although statistically speaking, false accusations are incredibly rare.
But , we can’t dismiss the possibility that aipac/gop/dnc is using the lefts intolerance of sex crimes to clear out competition.
As for the timing. Yes the timing is important but. If you knew a rapist was about to get elected, maybe that would motivate you to speak up even if previously you just wanted to forget and move on.
Because you might think. He’s a bad person and people need to know because if he gets in that position, he’s going to be even worse and do it more to someone else.
There is too many unknowns right now. I typically side with victims first (tentatively) because , again, statistically they are more likely to be truthful. But I’m also open to the possibility of being played by people that see him as a threat to their power.

Well this says 4 women
If I was Iran and I had the resources.
I would design water mines with propellers and encrypted tracking.
Move them around when letting someone pass and move them back to where they were. That way if some asshat thought they could just track the previous ship’s route to bypass the mines, they would be in for a surprise.
I would also move them around a bit all the time.
I would also have the coordinates be encrypted in a way that it seemed like it was easy to break. But actually it was a fake out and gave the wrong coordinates to whomever tried to hack it.
Surprise mf-er.
Pentagon would be like. “We so smart. We totally figured out their encryption and we know where all the mines are”.
Because people who think they are hot shit always fall for that kind of thing. Always.
I would also have a lot of fake mines all over. Those would be where the fake-out coordinates said they were.
That would definitely make the Pentagon think they cracked the encryption and also maybe waste a bunch of missiles on trying to shoot them.
Anyway. That would be my strategy.
Protecting women from trafficking and pimps is denying them agency?
I specifically said I’m against criminalizing sex workers.
This is akin to denying critical race theory.
Stop and think about who benefits. It literally is the Epsteins of this world benefiting from this glamorized false narrative about how sex work is.
I would never hold it against a women for choosing sex work. What I do have a problem with is the systems that have made sure she doesn’t have any better options.
These false narratives that it’s empowering.
And the men in power who push this narrative that her only value is whatever they like about the way she looks.
So do nothing because the world isn’t perfect. ?
As I keep saying. There is scientific evidence supporting the harms of sexual objectification. The harms of making prostitution legal.
You can pretend it’s not true. Doesn’t change the reality.
When I was in grade school. I guess sometime in the late 90s, We learned about global warming in school.
I remember thinking it was terrifying that we would all be cooked alive.
That night I had this terrible dream that it was a hot sunny day but we had to stay in the house until dusk. And when I did venture out, our outdoor dog was dead and the yard was full of dead birds. And it was so silent.
I still remember that dream.
If Iran is sharing toll money with anyone, its China.
In my teens to early 20s. I often found myself sleeping on the hard surfaces. A tent outside, a sleeping bag outside, or a friend’s bedroom floor. You know, just wherever I was.
When I was in my mid 30s I was in the process of moving and was selling my furniture and bed.
Long story short. I had no sofa or bed for 3 days leading up to the move. I had to sleep on a hardwood floor.
It was unbelievably rough. Like. I could not believe that sleeping on a few blankets on the floor could be that awful.
Hadn’t I done this dozens of times not that long ago?
Wasn’t I fatter now; So in theory, there was more cushion?
And since I was in the process of packing and moving from a 2nd story apartment. I was pretty sore all of those days. And then had to sleep on a hardwood floor.
I’ve also since bought an air mattress for this last time I moved so I didnt have to sleep on the floor. Cause f that.
I don’t know what age you get to where it’s no longer possible to sleep on hard surfaces.
But a warning to those of you in your mid 20s. That day is coming.
But it is worse.
That’s my whole point backed up with research.
And it specifically makes the world more hostile for women and girls.
It perpetuates the very systems that harm us under the guise of “sexual empowerment”.
Please think about who benefits the most from sexual objectification of women and girls.
It is not women and girls. No matter how you spin it as “empowerment” or anything else.
It’s a little better. I honestly feel that most of my community is not insane. That’s something.
Tech oligarchs in the U.S:
“But you were supposed to be stuck to only using ours! How did we not seen this coming!”
There are a handful of decent humans there who oppose it all. They have protested and been beaten up.
Mostly young people. Not very many of them. But I think that’s pretty courageous considering they are literally surrounded by wolves.
What must it be like to live in a country surrounded by insane fascist. ?
Oh… Nevermind I guess I know.
Well.
But at least most of my fellow U.S citizens aren’t in support of it.
I think Israel must feel like literally everyone is maga except like 2 people you know.
Swansea university in Swansea Wales.
Yep. Every classroom door had them.
https://hwb.swansea.ac.uk/hwb/student-id-card/
All Swansea University students are issued with a Student ID card, sometimes also called a library card.
Your Student ID card allows you to: swipe in to record your attendance at lectures
borrow items from the library
use the library printing, copying and scanning services
access certain study rooms and labs
identify yourself at University exams
obtain sports and student society memberships
Also I don’t think these are too expensive. I’ve worked at a lot of places that had security badge swipes at the doors.
Other Countries will publish their reports.
So it doesn’t matter what the brain worms say.
Okay so you don’t actually know anyone who has aged out of sex work .
My “puritanical views”. Is this a joke?
My stance is I’m against human trafficking. I’m against pimps. I’m against workers being hurt by johns. I’m against the promotion of misogyny and objectification of people. I’m against capitalism turning human connection into just another thing to exploit for money. I’m especially against the harms it perpetuates in society.
And I’m against people resorting to the high risk sex work because it’s the easy choice when there should be better options for people.
People have more value that tits and ass. Or a hole.
They actually do.
You can pretend the risks and statistics I gave you aren’t real.
It doesn’t make them false.
Also I certainly don’t appreciate your strawman what-aboutism argument.
We aren’t talking about people who do labor jobs. We are talking about sex workers.
Jesus. How can you possibly believe that sex work is good for women. I mean. Seriously. How fucked up is it to believe that ?
Why would you support the systems that harm women the most. Why. ? Do you hate women ? I can’t see why anyone would think sex work is a great career opportunity for women except people like Epstein and trump.
Cause those are the types of people that benefit from women being exploited this way.
How does making sex work legal help a 40 year old with no skills or job experience?
Decriminalizing sex work is much more effective at reducing crime on the sex workers.
If you don’t believe me, look into the Netherlands.
They have a huge problem with sex trafficking because it’s legal to sell sex there.
It doesn’t protect anyone. It encourages sex trafficking and pimping. Especially for foreign victims and young girls.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_trafficking_in_the_Netherlands
In 2017, it was estimated by the Dutch National Rapporteur on Trafficking in Human Beings and Sexual Violence against Children that more than 6,000 people in the Netherlands fall victim to human trafficking each year.[6][7] Two thirds of the people trafficked, about 4,000 people per year, fall victim to sexual slavery and abuse.[6] This group consisted largely of Dutch women, including minors (1,320 girls each year) who were preyed upon by so-called “lover boys”.[7] The other 2,000 victims of human trafficking were largely foreigners who were put to work by organized crime groups.[6]
I know it sounds like legalizing it would help sex workers. But the reality is that it doesn’t.
Objectification of bodies never leads to good ends.
https://eclj.org/geopolitics/eu/legal-prostitution-and-human-trafficking-in-the-netherlands?lng=en
How about instead we invest in free education and job training and pay people a living wage so that the dangerous sex work isn’t their best option for survival.
“Urges public interrogation of victims”.
She’s literally a Republican in just about every single way.
This is why I don’t want bondi being investigated right now. I can wait 3 years.
They have a decent metal scene.
