Yet Another Kiri Bloggish Thing: alexandraerin:... →
alexandraerin:
It’s astonishing to consider that the same side of the political spectrum that wonders how people can be poor if they have phones and fridges is the one that always says that the definition of “rich” is too broad, the people who say things like “How am I supposed to send my…

Yes! I was really concerned that after the SOTU excitement died down, lawmakers would forget about the minimum wage thing. Pelosi and two other Dems are backing a bill that would make the minimum wage $10.10 an hour and index it to inflation in the future. HUGE deal.

If you account for inflation and productivity increases, it should ACTUALLY be...

satire is humorous social critique that speaks truth to power
calling a nine-year-old girl a sexualized, misogynistic slur is not satire.
specifically, a nine-year-old Black girl, who has already had to endure months of the racist media belittling her beautiful given name, and undermining her magnificent performance and her obvious genius as a child actor.

It takes but a second to replace women’s health with sexual or reproductive health. It’s really that easy… and then you aren’t erasing our trans sisters.
Trans however-they-may-apply. Trans siblings? Partners? Allies? What’s a good non-gendered term?
Is “friends” too presumptuous?

I will never tell my children that if a boy picks on them it means he likes them. I will teach my children that “Anyone who cares about you or loves you would never dream of hurting you.

This.

It’s probably all the pretty colors. People who don’t know anything see a brilliantly pink or...
