This week, some thoughts
Great, now they’re all in the same room: study links “climate change skepticism” to right-wing misogyny and white nationalism. For having the lion’s share of power, white men sure seem to find a lot to be upset about. Might just be easier to sink that time and those resources into a solid therapist, but who am I to make suggestions?
Sex and Prosperity: “Women’s freedom is central to making our societies more prosperous, more equal and more environmentally sustainable.”
Related: it’s ironic that it’s the same people (conservative white men) who are against women’s access to abortion and birth control (see: global gag rule, abortion bans), and are racists paranoid about “white replacement.” Since restricting access to fertility management disproportionately affects non-white women, that means more non-white babies, no? I mean, obviously, thinking things through to their logical end point isn’t a strong suit of the reactive right, but for the sake of consistency, it really feels like they should pick misogyny OR racism. White male privilege, I guess, to support two morally repugnant, indefensible positions that also contradict each other.
Life goals: Maid of honor wears T-Rex costume after being told she could wear ‘anything.’
I don’t know Kate Lewis at Hearst Magazines, but I am now a fan: 100% going to try her to-do list hack.
Worth a reminder every once in a while: How to Complain.
