Facebook has twice deleted the following comment and admonished me, a deadass male-identifying, male-presenting man, for saying hateful things about an identifiable group:
Men are pigs.
- Dr. Greg House
I was going to appeal the second deletion. marshalling arguments expertly (for I am a goddamn expert at this) about satire, sarcasm, sardonicity (there’s the noun English lacks) and how, for the benefit of Zuck’s dim learning machines and vapid stuffed animals, “men are pigs” very obviously does not mean all actual men are actual pigs.
I was also going to point out that “men are [virtual] pigs” is an archetype useful for behaviour comparisons, and also for shouting late at night just about anywhere, without signifying actual hatred against actual men.
Anyway, Facebook has deadlines and I was busy, so I didn’t appeal. Maybe if Musk takes over Twitter tomorrow I’ll use House’s immortal line to stress-test his libertarianism.
Rock on Nora, people will follow you wherever you are.
I’ve been suspended twice on Twitter now. It sucks. Hope it gets resolved soon. I appreciate your voice on there.

I appreciate your voice! Thanks for the pep talk on needing ways to organize that aren't at the mercy of social media tech giants.
You're such a repugnant C U
"After careful review" LOL
12 hour ban (I think? not over yet) for answering Nick Knudsen musing about how to stop "the war of religion". My answer? Stop breathing. Life is war.
Of course it was sarcasm.
