Was interviewed about the Galliano thing. Besides the usual stuff about what he obviously didn't do to repair harm, & how easy it is for those who want access to rubber stamp things for those with power / $ I noted that real repentance work is about *humility* & *relationship* & it matters.
So: Fuck Max Miller and reminder that abusers are everywhere and demanding accountability is the absolute moral baseline.
Rabbi Danya RuttenbergAnother day, another reminder that about 15% of US women & 4%of men have been injured via intimate partner violence (IPV) & 30% - 60% of IPV perps also abuse children in the household. Accountability for perps + safety for those harmed. Always.
Well FUCK What must Rowling’s lawyers have threatened to cow AMNESTY like this. “In particular, we apologise to Beira’s Place and other groups, which we categorised as gender critical organisations, which we should not have collectively labelled as anti-rights.” But truth beats TERFs.
Lee HurleyAmnesty have issued an apology to JK Rowling and the rest. Adjust your expectations, and donations, accordingly www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/an-ap...
Reminder that the Golden Age of Comics began in 1938 when a couple of Jews started making stories about fighting evil. So many of the people in power now seen so much like cartoon villains bc those archetypes were literally created after some of the most horrific human beings of our known history.

Now says: "The claim 'vaccines do not cause autism' is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism." Whoa #EpiSky #pediatrics #NeuroSky #PsychSky
Never mind that the *commandment* to care for, defend the rights of & yes, love the stranger / non-citizen among you appears more times than any other *commandment* in the Bible. The white Christian nationalist church of patriarchal repression and hate has never been big on core ideas.
huck mason@betsyshirley.bsky.social pointed out that this no-girls-allowed Christian gym's covenant replaces the Bible's usual triad of "the orphan, the widow, and the stranger (stranger = poor and/or immigrant folks)" with "the orphan, the widow, and [the unborn]." interesting.
