The gavel just came down on #COP28, surely one of the most surreal climate summits to date. The main COP agreement is anything but "historic," as a few of today's headlines seem to suggest.
But there was something bigger happening in Dubai: a clear move toward delivering on clean energy.

@scorpiontongue true. And yes, I recognize it as a fair energy.
My reservations with KYLR as a slogan probably only really come from the fact that, one, I haven't even ever met a rapist that I know of; two, the fact that I was brought up on continual indoctrination saying that, on the one hand, people are constantly falsely accused of rape, and — on the other hand — that as an AMAB person I am inherently a pedophile and a rapist and a danger to all women and children around me if I am not entitely asexual (something my mother out and out told me to my face, and consistently treated me and my dad like), as well as, to a lesser degree, the fact that there is a startling incidence of trans women falsely being accused of sexual crimes.
But crucially, none of that is truly relevant to the phrase itself, or what survivors mean when they are saying it, and all of it centers me and my uncomfortableness over defense of survivors and the community as a whole, so it's why I don't let it control what I think or what I do or what I say.
