Here's the facts, jacks.

All you shrilly protesting these assault allegations as fake-outs, I know what would solve those problems: an investigation by the @FBI.
But you don't really want that, because that would put so many of you up to scrutiny.

Because so MANY of you participated in this type of behavior.
How do I know this? Because even though I didn't travel in these rarified circles on #BeachWeek, we all know these stories.

All. Of. Us.
A kegger in the woods I was at, a girl stumbled out from the forest behind her crying because one of the guys assaulted her.
We all knew who it was. We were 15. We didn't know what to do, or even if we should do anything.
Frat parties in my college town: notorious for being the scourge of high school girls for rape.
A drunk married man whose toddler daughter I took care of grabbed me and tried to kiss me at a party while his wife was inside.
I headed back inside to the safety of the party, for fuck's sake. I was 15.
And this behavior isn't only reserved for girls; I hung out with young gay men who were even more vulnerable than us because many of them didn't have good family ties.

Being gay often meant making family away from birth family.
And there were vultures that hovered around them.

We all knew them by name. In some cases these fuckers were offering places to crash to these kids, only to assault them.
SO I SEE YOU, GENTLEMEN.

I see right through your shrill "LIES, CRAVEN WOMAN."
As Shakespeare said, "The lady doth protest to much, methinks."

You got that right, JACKS.
So:

WHAT'S IT GONNA BE?

A fair investigation into these allegations, or more Hamlet's Gertrude, gentlemen?
I know the answer.

Se you on the battlefield.
Addendum:
We're going have to decolonize the brains of half the damned white women in this country. WTF.

As a young woman, I was never the most visibly rebellious in social circles. My persona was somehow both feminine and inconsistent. Maybe I was more "Art School Disestablishmentarian" than true punk rock; regardless, the embrace of counterculture was deep and wide.
Time passed. We grew older, and things changed. We got more bills, children, responsibilities, and we can't actually live in squats any longer.

But some things stayed true. The greatest part of being punk was the on-the-job training in how to rebel against the popular--
and often unjust--cultural and political narratives.

We learned about Reaganomics from the people who suffered the most under Reagan's policies, when social welfare programs, college tuition grants, and support for the mentally ill were gutted.

Here was my night: Handmaid's Tale (a particularly grueling one) followed by an early (for me) dare-I-say responsible bedtime. After all, our son is done with middle school, and they're having a ceremony, so I try to do my parental duty to be not-completely exhausted at it.
But our son--14 years old, a tender age under any circumstance--is distraught. He comes in our room and tells us he doesn't want to go to the ceremony.
Genuinely, flat-out doesn't want to go.

All of our reasonable points about going notwithstanding, he isn't swayed.

"I don't want to get AR-15'ed," he said.

The news on our side of the world is fundamentally grim these days, but at least I can shed some light on people's lives that are fundamentally grimmer.
Sigh. Where oh where to begin? I guess here, because it's the first photo I found from my time there.

This is Hebron in the West Bank.
Hebron is the home of one of Islam's holy sites, the Ibrahimi Mosque.
It also happens to be a Jewish holy site named after Abraham as well.

Because of course Judaism and Islam (and Christianity) are fundamentally linked with Abraham. aljazeera.com/news/2016/02/r…

Do I feel a thread coming on, like the flu? Possible.
This Gaza situation. I don't know if people (by people, I mean "people who can't find Gaza on a map, or don't know it's Occupied by Israel, or how close it is to Europe, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt...etc.) understand how dire it is.
When I was in Gaza 20 years ago, it was dire.

So unless you're dead inside yourself, the photos of the student walkouts should at the very least trigger a reaction that they are too young to bear the burden of the adults who were charged with their safety.
And of course they're young. But these are the faces of disappointed rage, disbelief and sorrow that the adults in the room were petulant greedy brats.
For myself and many of the adults I know, our kids were among those who walked out; our kids are the same age as the Stoneman Douglas victims, and the Columbine victims, and all the other high school shootings since Columbine.

These are Courtlin Arrington's parents.

I'm going to tell you a story. It's going to seem sad--which it is--but it should also bring you a sense of existential relief.

thread:
We're in the Sixth Extinction. There's no doubt about this. No climate deniers, or evangelicals, or people who just don't want to listen can refute this basic reality.

There just aren't the facts to back it up.
We're dying. The planet is changing.
