Guys: What steps do you take, on a daily basis, to prevent yourselves from being sexually assaulted?
Replying to @Faile
At first there is a kind of awkward silence as the men try to figure out if they've been asked a trick question. The silence gives way to a smattering of nervous laughter. Occasionally, a young a guy will raise his hand and say, 'I stay out of prison.'

Do a bad job. Empower your coworkers to do a bad job. If you are having to pick up the slack of several other people, that is a staffing and management & labor exploitatoin issue, it's not the fault of your coworker who can't juggle it all.

I remember the gymnasts who didn't land after getting lost in the air. The ones who died. The ones who were paralyzed for the rest of their lives. The ones who had catastrophic injuries that altered their lives. The fact that Simone walked out of that meet safely is everything.
One former US elite gymnast I talked to said that if it was someone other than Simone Biles who had made that same error, they would have certainly blown a knee, at minimum. Another said if it had happened to her instead of Simone, “I probably would have ended up paralyzed.”

A reminder that regardless of CDC mask guidance, it's not cool to tell women to smile more

Charging the officer is not justice. It’s one step in a flawed process towards accountability. Justice is a country where Daunte is not pulled over. Where he is not killed. Where Black people can live free of fear from police violence. Where we can thrive.

Glad you asked. Because the largest strike in human history is being led by communists. And the US and West has no interest in promoting political activity it does not want to see within its own borders unless it is demonizing it

Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.

We are shot while sleeping #BreonnaTaylor We are shot while jogging #AhmaudArbery We are shot while playing #TamirRice & the list goes on BUT the fact that this man made it all the way to the #USCapitol without being shot or killed is the true definition of #whiteprivilege.

In the past 24hrs, there have been 37 airliner crashes, each plane w/over 100 ppl. 3,700 dead! Oh wait — sorry. Correction: In the past day, 3,700 Americans have died of COVID-19. Because if 3,700 Americans had died in 37 plane crashes in just one day, all hell would break loose!

All of a sudden Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are worried that someone in America might get a $2,000 check "who doesn't need it." Funny. They had no problem giving a $1.4 billion tax break to Charles Koch and his family with a net worth of $113 billion. What hypocrisy!

This is what authoritarianism looks like: Trump not conceding after losing. Sen. Graham pressuring Secretaries of State to not count ballots. Michigan GOP pushing to not certify state's election results. Giuliani creating fiction.

Perhaps the greatest anti-slavery speech ever uttered is “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July,” by Frederick Douglass, in 1852. I wanted to make the speech more accessible. Here’s a thread with an abridged version of the speech we should reread every #FourthofJuly. 1/

“Times of discomfort”? Girl, please. People are getting killed. People were tear-gassed and violently removed so your daddy could execute your brilliant idea of crossing the street to pose with a Bible you pulled out of your $2,000 purse. Karen, you might wanna take a seat.
Ivanka Trump: "I've found that my greatest personal growth has arisen from times of discomfort and uncertainty."
