If capitalism is about competition Are failing that too ex: Skydance ex: privatized equity ex: horizontal takeovers ex: all the gambling stuff ex; how insurance is (not) working I think maybe we should rethink how this works

Be Cheap Support peace (probably is a better slogan than Be Humane Support Peace)

Oberlin is its own mess Its racism is not good its labor practices have gotten even worse but I went there bc it's full of nuerospiciness was needblind in its financial aid at the time was a good school without being cuthroat competitive and a biggie was it had no fraternity and sororities

A lot of writers, readers, booksellers, etc. on the website are talking about how book bans have a disproportionate impact on living BIPOC/queer/trans authors, and it's true. But a lot of people don't know where to find those books. That's why, this year, I'm going to make a thread for you!

It's Banned Books Week. My fellow librarians, listen carefully: your book displays should be almost exclusively writers who are alive. Yes, I know classic literature is also being banned, but most of those authors are dead. They aren't suffering financially from bans and challenges.

and rape culture Its also a fantasy so it doesn't have to get everything right (gender essentialism and hierarchical stuff, still not great, but also...amazing context and content to think about )

000

them through sex Its sex positive but it talks about how the kind of men who want to break women, and their magic, don't want consent in the first place, and are jealous of women's magic (and the fact that they are more powerful) and they need to subdue them Its a very interesting take on rape

There is a fantasy series called the Dark Jewels Trilogy Its matriarchal and has gender essentialism in it which is meh and also sparkly animals, which is fun and trauma, lots of dealing with real trauma One of the things it explores is that you can break a woman's magic through rape, or empower

For every person who thought Me Too went too far and every one was over reacting I think about Epstein and all of its ripples (why do we shave our legs, who says that is attractive?) And I think of College rape And how it is so cultural movies depict it as the norm and romantic yeah....

Hey everyone, I'm really in a bind. I was just told earlier today that my job will be terminating me on October 13th, exactly one day before my upcoming requested paid medical leave to recover from bottom surgery. I intend to fight this in court, but I could really use some help in the meantime.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

the horrific cornell gang rape case has me thinking about emma sulkowicz who alleged she was raped as a student at columbia in 2014 and never got any justice. it has me thinking about the physical and mental weight young women are forced to carry while their safety is subsumed by male potential.

I’m not exaggerating when I say she could be legendary. She could put Medicare for All together or something of that magnitude. Not to mention getting folks together to do something on SCOTUS and voting rights. Course she’d need a skilled ally in the House and Jeffries ain’t it. But who knows.
