'Make sure the jokes you’re doing aren’t adding to the horrible shittiness of the world. People confuse the subject and the object of a joke. The subject can be anything as long as the object of your joke isn’t using your power to make someone else feel shittier.” Despite its audacity, its scatology, Black’s finely calibrated comedy never failed to abide by that dictum.' #BethanyBlack

This guy is nothing but a #white #TechBro, who delights in dumping on #black people. His latest target: #ChristopherBouzy and #Spoutible.

I don’t know how many times I’ve blocked this guy, only for him to pop up again and again. He’s #toxic.

This is #PunchingUp, btw, and NOT #dogpiling. Dude has a HUGE following, and needs to be outed for the #bigot that he is.

Noticing v. anecdotally - in #academia - how quickly 'n often monoligual speakers of English in my #UK context go on the defensive (in their tone of voice - a mix of sarcasm/affront) when presented with non-English sources and references: eg. 'would be nice to have an English plug-in for that!' or 'not all of us are multilingual' and 'I don't feel this is a very inclusive space'.

Apparently there's some controversy about "small dick energy" being "body shaming," because @gretathunberg used the phrase to respond to Andrew Tate, who was being a fucking MAGA douchebag on Twitter, bragging about his polluting vehicle collection.

Greta correctly told him to get a life and stop waving around his "small dick energy." Good for her. A perfect example of the kind of #punchingup that needs to happen.

As a man, I'm the very first person to admit that perhaps one third to one half of male behavior could be considered toxic and capable of causing harm, especially to women. But also to human rights and the climate.

I try to avoid that behavior at all costs. I hope that in time, all men will come to see their role as protectors of the Earth, of justice, and of those who are weaker. Not flashing their brute strength or having dick measuring contests.

So when someone talks about #toxicmasculinity or #smalldickenergy why would I be offended? It's nothing I want anything to do with.

The term "small dick energy" is not remotely #bodyshaming. It comes from the scientific fact that monkeys who have smaller balls tend to yell louder to compensate.

With humans, toxic men tend to flaunt physical strength, weapons, vehicles, and machinery, while attacking women and playing the victim.

THAT'S small dick energy. Maybe we should call it "small ball energy." Whatever. People should quit tone policing and focus on shutting down toxic male behavior wherever it rears its ugly head.

"Small dick energy" comes from dicks of all shapes and sizes.

I'm realizing I should do an official #intro post here!

My name is Emily and I live in #portlandoregon with my husband and six year old. I chose the #scots server, because I love Scotland, and would move there if we could! We visited on our honeymoon way back in October of 2010.

I'm mostly here to #read but I post occasionally. My kinks include #bikes, #bikebus, #books, #crafts, #music, #HomeRecording, #punchingup ... I'm like a parody of a Portlander, basically.

Oh, and #kitty.
