People will remember the NYT for their anti-trans crusade. One day you will report as though this never happened and as though you always accepted trans people but people who accept them now will remember. You traded your reputation to profit off a culture war.
Oh this thread got a mention!
Phase two: the viral reframing. A user named lauren posted a reply to my challenge post that received 1,500 likes, followed immediately by a two-word follow-up that received 1,700. I will not reproduce the content here, not because it was devastating but because it wasn't - it was a rhetorical deflation, a way of treating the argument as beneath serious engagement, a performance of dismissal for an approving crowd. This was the hinge. Before lauren's posts, the episode was an argument. After them, it was a spectacle. The 1,500 likes were not likes for a counter-argument. They were likes for a social permission slip - permission to treat me not as someone to argue with but as someone to laugh at. Everything that followed was downstream of that reframing.

here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared
It’s unbelievable to hear a politician (especially a US politician but increasingly Irish ones as well) recognise that Ireland is a nation founded on rebellion, revolution and fighting against oppression rather than being a punchline in some boring Yank joke
Holy fuck hell yeah

The Dublin Inquirer asks: “Who will be Fox Cop?!”
An Instagram post from “fleshfueled”. Text caption over a picture of an exhausting-looking man: “POV: You realize the system only works because we're always divided. Men vs women. Black vs white. Left vs right. Rich vs poor. While the people at the top stay untouched.”
Who’s at the top?! Who’s at the fucking top?!
