  • Robert Jordan’s wheel of time series was pointlessly gender-essentialist in many dumb ways (I loved the series anyway and it was a huge formative influence in my life) but many of them were amusing, such as this very statement:

    Men forget but never forgive.
    Women forgive but never forget.

    Stripped of the arbitrary binary (there was SO MUCH ARBITRARILY BINARY STUFF in WoT😭) it does seem to describe two overlapping normal distributions of people that MAY have some correlation to reproductive caste that has not been proven but is thought provoking.



  • Instead of “if you’re not with us, you’re against us”,

    It’s “as long as you’re against them, you can be with us.”

    And frankly, that’s what we need right now.

    First past the post voting is fucking garbage but this is how you’re supposed to engage it; it’s NEVER EVER EVER EVER going to be good for supporting the lesser of two evils.

    Instead, the best thing it can ever do is punish the greater evil

    And these are VERY DIFFERENT GOALS.

    If people were voting to punish the Trump campaign, Kamala would have won.

    Notably, people very much voted to punish Kamala instead. Even the ones on the left. And boy did we show her -_- now we ALL get to suffer.
