finally a good decision ~ a nobel in literature that matches my aesthetics -- no but seriously i love her and she has been such an influence on me in so many ways, really happy with this one esp compared to bob mf dylan (or the mere possibility of murakami haruki l-o-fuckin-l)

i guess this is the kind of strategy one must adopt in this context. though .. can it be that there are no slurs for trans people in spanish? this i should know about already obviously given i am trans and live in spain! will do a bit of research here

I have wondered the same. Has this administration so successfully ‘flooded the zone’ with 4chan-style discourse that now literal hate speech from the head of the DoD fails to be newsworthy? And newspapers are hindered by their own style guidelines which prohibit printing slurs?

hegseth is of course insane, but i feel like his use of a literal slur in his most recent fiasco ("tr*nn**s") has been weirdly ignored. here, we see that it is papered over in translation by being replaced with a neutral term. why?

The most surprising realization I had in the last years was how important it is to be public about your refusal to participate in harmful acts therefore giving others "permission" to do so as well. It really matters.

Believing that other people are real is antifascist praxis.

there's an irony in the fact that one of the main problem people in this domain used to be a philosopher of fiction writing quite literally about imagination

Terror Lists to Shield the Gangster Capitalism of a Lunatic State: From ICE Raids to Palestine
On August 26 the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) placed three names on the sanctions list built after September 11th: Palestine

Shocking abdication of scholarly ethics by the American Historical Association which hired a Washington DC lobbying firm to ensure anticipatory obedience and quash a popular movement to condemn Israeli scholasticide in Gaza: www.chronicle.com/article/a-sc...
In the past, AHA executives have been quite content to let members pass popular resolutions against such events as the Iraq war, and to make official statements opposing events like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Regarding Palestine, though, they have decided that the AHA cannot take “institutional positions on an active geopolitical conflict,” lest the Trump administration take notice and find some way to revoke its congressional charter. Over the last 20 months or so, they have taken a series of what they have called “unusual steps” to quash every effort by the AHA membership to pass a resolution against the mass atrocities in Gaza, including vetoes of three separate popular resolutions acknowledging those atrocities as a genocide.

How many students were kicked off their campuses for protesting this stuff? It's not just the psychotic openly genocidal propaganda, it's that the people in power in the US made it so that if you criticize this openly, your life could be destroyed.

I find it genuinely shocking that people don't universally recognize the phrase "biological men" both as a dogwhistle and as a way of framing a conversation that assumes a highly specific conclusion. Don't forget: "A is a biological X" implies that A is an X! Not ok!
