Uh
Sorry about that.

"Would the insurance carrier underwriting your workplace's policy against s*x harassment claims, immediately drop your corporation's coverage upon learning you hired this guy to run the business?" is a literal question of literal policy, thanks
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
You can play politics with everyone except oddfellows. Actuaries don't play politics.

So funny to see the left's circular firing squad forming around Cuomo. Disagree on policy, not purity.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
So, uh, if we are to disagree on policy — how's your policy of contributing materially to Substack, which launders the reputations and finances of violent extremists, lending your view here any eunoia, arete, or phronesis —?
Or is Aristotle a Leftist?
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Let's continue on that branch - how has Cuomo's work product and his fidelity to serving the interests of his constituency before his own, lent him eunoia, arete, and phronesis?
Yeah, he has experience. He knows the lay of the land. I'll give him that.
That's only one leg
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Is it sound policy to delegate the ultimate authority of a powerful executive office to a person whose prior performance in that office shows that he or she might just be susceptible to undue influence from a corrupt, higher executive —?
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
What if it's a different office? What if the evidence of prior wrongdoing was sufficient enough that he or she was asked to resign by that higher executive? Whose concerns are sufficiently credible enough to warrant a discount of faith? A state attorney general? A sitting US President?
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Is … Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., here, (retired US Senator, VP, & POTUS as well as recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom With Distinction) in this exploration of a framework of trusting the power of executive offices to people, is he a powerful Maoist directing a struggle session —?
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I'm just wondering where the line is between acknowledging a dozen violations of the fiduciary trust placed in a public official, sufficient to merit a public callout by the most powerful member of one's party & government - vs a "purity test"

Is it a bot? Spotting bots has become a lot more difficult since someone told them to be more polite.

Probably not a bot, but definitely someone who wants to normalise "trans people don't deserve human rights"

Then it was curated to the GOP party line, and those posts & comments stopped going live

Being transgender in the USA is wondering if you will ever again see the trans person you spent an evening flirting with
The one who deleted all his/her/their social media profiles in November 2024 and vanished from everything and everywhere
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Being Transgender in the USA is being a world famous voice actress who dies due to an untreated GI infection because no health insurance, buried under her deadname because her estranged birth family owns her burial plot and claimed her body
Take Me Back to Eden (@chromesthesia.bsky.social):
Ugh i hate this. Can people stop tormenting marginalised people and fight the powers that be? ✊🏾
No because they tell everyone to hate trans people

Being transgender in the USA is being the victim of a hate crime and then one's brutal murder the punchline of a "joke" broadcast on national television, & never apologised for, not even in a dedicated segment in the 50th anniversary special acknowledging "jokes that aged poorly"
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Being transgender in the USA is knowing that the first Trump administration had a test balloon EO for years exempting EMS be exempt from providing legally mandated lifesaving healthcare solely to trans people, and no-one but trans people ever said word one about it, except "you're overreacting"
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Being transgender in the USA is commenting that there are many places in the USA where it is illegal to be transgender, but nowhere in America is it illegal to be a Nazi, and being criminally harassed & threatened for months and years by hundreds of Nazis & transphobes over this
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Being transgender in the USA is repeating "These neoNazi transphobes are a real danger to us and to everyone else, who will do X, Y, then Z; they planned for this" for a decade and then watching people who get paid $$$$$$ a year to know this stuff act surprised AND throw us under the bus
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Being transgender in the USA means dying early of trauma stress related disorders because one major political party knows and exploits this as a desired goal, and the other lost its way sometime in 2007, I guess, maybe
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Being transgender in the USA is pretty soon going to become an international humanitarian crisis if it isn't already, one which will have no remediation for, because the US was the country sheltering GNC political refugees and now will be the one genociding us

SE Gyges (@segyges.bsky.social):
If you have a free day of your time, you can schedule a test drive for a Tesla. They will block out the time slot for you. Ideally, you will show up and make sure you spend as long as possible on the test drive.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Counterpoint: I won't even go out in public into a parking lot where there might be Teslas, because always-on cameras + face recognition + "full self driving" + "we don't know why this Tesla ran over this trans woman and then caught fire, killing her" is not on my agenda, much less …
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
"The doors wouldn't open after it steered into a lightpole and caught fire, killing the passenger(s), notably this one trans woman" —
Like, these are now realistic, not-paranoid, potential threat models
SE Gyges (@segyges.bsky.social):
They are, yeah. If you have a serious concern for your safety in this way you would not want to go on any tsla test drive that successfully leaves the dealership.

It's always within TOS to wish someone would grow a conscience and repent and liquidate their ill-gotten wealth, redistributing it to those harmed, in pursuit of making amends, with a long life of unremarkable but productive real public service away from the levers of power

Also, Rahm Emanuel's use of "that's why everything is locked up at CVS and Walgreens" is a GODDARNED STORMFRONT MESSAGE BOARD TROPE
cool lich doritos 🦝 🏴 (@comrade-raccoon.bsky.social):
Aren't they walking back on locking stuff up anyway? Like, they found out that it's bad for business because people don't buy as much stuff
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
That, and - the jobsworth analysts / solution vendors that jumped through an ecological inference fallacy to justify the policies turned out to be merely slapping together a posthoc justification for the desired tack of some exec tasked with "solving this problem" without more staff hours
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Guess what the most effective way to solve the problem of shoplifting and theft is
It isn't "there's only one or two employees in the store at a given moment, who clopened" understaffing
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Theft rings walk into a store and look in the stockroom first thing to look for OSHA violations / chaos. The more they count, the more attractive the store is.
If everything is faced, stocked, sparkling, and safe, they roll on. And that state of affairs only happens when there's enough staffing
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Guess which stores and staff don't get hours

Screenshot circulating of an interview with Rahm Emanuel that concentrates on him being a middle school s*x pest; not enough attention paid to him parroting 2020-era Republican talking points about "too much liberty"
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Everyone believes in a line dividing liberties from violations; where they draw that line is what's important, not the (D), (R), (G) or (I) (or whatever) next to their names
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
"These people have a right to live their lives free from your extortion" always has been and always is going to be a deeply unpopular message to the people who want to force others to live by the edicts of their cult / religion.
"You don't have the right to force them" is the necessary line.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
If a politician is throwing drag queens and trans people under the bus as "too much liberty", that politician is shaking hands with Nazism and needs to sell their first, second, and third vacation homes and donate the proceeds to trans people & drag queens, then retire forever
