so like.

i’m jazzed as hell about some of the diverse democratic candidates that got elected on tuesday, of course.

but i’m mostly sad about christine hallquist, first openly transgender candidate from a major party for governor in my beloved home state of vermont, whose campaign received so many death threats that she had to decide not to publicize any of her appearances, essentially meaning that she couldn’t campaign effectively since she had to base her campaign strategy around not being murdered, which is being cited as one reason she lost the election to phil “but do we really need to fund education?” scott.

and this wasn’t publicized. to the degree that i, a human who tries to stay abreast of at least local news, knew nothing about it until my father mentioned it over dinner today.

so like. it would be cool if we spread that information around too maybe.

I was waiting for the night bus at 1am the other night, eating fries, when a dude, high as fuck, tried to harass me. It took several “I don’t want to talk to you, please go away” for him to finally move, but I think it helped that another man was giving him the death stare and clicking his tongue at him. He then checked I was okay and whether I knew the guy or not. Good dude.

Shout out also the man who silently switched places with me on another night bus to be a buffer between me and a guy who had threatened me. Thank you

Men: this here? This here is what you need to be doing as allies. The men who harass and insult women are not likely to take our complaints about it seriously. But you, another man, they will listen to. 

I was pumping gas at like 10 PM one night, and these bunch of drunk guys came walking up to the gas station, and one of them yelled over to me if I wanted to see his dick.  His friend says to him, “You don’t have anything she wants to see.” and apologized.  It was pretty awesome.

this is all we want from men. to recognize the wrongs done by other men, and acknowledge it. not give us shitass defense like, “not all men do that”
