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.

What we should be talking about is supporting community colleges, and vocational high school to offer affordable cosmetology classes. The wait lists are insane. At least in the Black community, anyway, hairdressers and barbers play an important political role.

digital drawing of control games’ characters, jesse and dylan faden, portrayed in their teenage years. they both sit with their legs crossed, back to back to each other, jesse turned to us. dylan is wearing his P6 outfit, jesse is dressed as civilian. it is implied that dylan is drawing, but we can’t see his hands (or his face), only paper around him. messy black lines surround the floor around jesse though, and she touches them with her right hand.

Shreya Ila Anasuya - THE POISON PALACE @thresholdrose.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
In the Secretum Secretorum, Alexander is said to have been targeted by vishkanyas, or mythical Indian poison maidens. THE POISON PALACE, my debut novel, takes that proposition seriously. To celebrate the arrival of both galleys, please give me a page number and I'll give you a quote.
A book cover with a green background (and against a yellow background) and the image of a femme person with her back to the viewer. She is wearing a red upper garment and gold tone jewellery in her hair, ears, neck, and arms, and a five-headed snake is wrapped around her neck. On both sides of her are two crumbling ornate pillars, wrapped all over with oleander and datura flowers. The text says THE POISON PALACE: A NOVEL by Shreya Ila AnasuyaA book cover for THE POISON PALACE against a swirling yellow patterned background. The cover itself has a dark blue background with red and gold detailing. It shows a young femme person between two red pillars, wearing a red and gold outfit and wrapped all over with a green snake. The pillars are covered with gold leaves and white flowers, and have war helmets facing outward and accompanied by green snakes with their maws open on the bottom of each pillar. The author's name is written below the figure: Shreya Ila Anasuya.

If you think that enough people abstaining in a race will send a signal that someone will pick up, then I think that notion has to be engaged with as, if nothing else, plausible. If you think that /nothing/ will make the State pick up the signal you wish you might as well do lesser evilism.

This is an important "as long" clause, and it is the inverse of the anarchist, anti-electoralist argument. /If/ you have reason to believe your lack of a vote will incentivise politicians to do things you want them to, then you can discuss it.

scribble comic on being "born trans" cuz im always thinkin about it. #pepperbloomart
photo of a smeary ink comic in my sketchbook.
panel 1: "as a kid in the 2000s, my impression of trans people was mostly this." on TV, a woman states, "my soul is trapped in the wrong body."
panel 2: "in the mid 2010s it was more like this." a tumblr post reads, "my parents assigned me the wrong gender at birth."
panel 3: "throughout the eras of discourse there was one throughline." a figure waves a big pride flag and states, "nobody made me trans - i was born this way."
panel 4: "so if i definitely AM transgender, but if i definitely WASN'T at birth, where do i fit in?"
panel 5: me prancing around in a tutu. "i was not a transgender child. i loved girly stuff. ballet, barbies, the whole 9 yards."
panel 6: "actually i didn't even question my gender until all my friends were doing it." a friend asks, "we're all jumping off this bridge, you in?" i reply "oh hell yeah!"
panel 7: "but i did start to actively ID as trans after a few decades of the crushing expectations of womanhood." the word "womanhood" is massive, crushing me.
panel 8: "masculinity was my escape. maybe i didn't have a male 'soul,' but i WANTED one." i'm laying on my bed, gazing sadly at r/ftm.panel 9. "if we understand 'man' and 'woman' as social constructs, shifting among different places and time periods, then we must acknowledge transness is a construct as well." doodles of the same woman, dressed in clothes from around the world.
panel 10: "which is kinda scary! cuz if transness isn't inherent, then--" a strawman transphobe bursts in shouting "TRANS IS FAKE"
panel 11: transphobe grabs me by the shirt. "you admit it! gender is a social contagion! you're making the kids MORE TRANS!"
panel 12: "to which i can only respond" -- i shrug and smile -- "yeah! pretty cool right?"
panel 13: my fursona dressed as a girl and a boy, dancing with itself. "judith butlet famously described gender as performative. cis and trans alike, we act out gender to reinforce it."
panel 14: boy fursona vanishes. girl furzona is handed a paper with the trans symbol on it. "but you don't need to be handed the 'trans script' to try a new role."
panel 15: "after all--" my fursona wearing a beret in a folding chair. "you're in the director's chair!"
panel 16: me chillin'. "maybe if womanhood was defined differently, i'd still be a woman. but i CHOSE to transition. and i'm damn glad i did."

what cis people fail to understand about transphobia is that it's not "treating trans men as women and trans women as men," it's "constantly occupying the status of Third-Sexed Unhuman who can be gendered in whichever way is most convenient at any given moment"

So this is a sticky question with scholars who work primarily on it - my sense is there isn't a strong consensus except that we should not carelessly retroject modern ideas of race into antiquity. They have concepts kind of like race, but not identical, and think about them differently.
