The introduction defines the term in the way we'd recognise from Disney, as imagining anything and then engineering it down to reality. The rest of the pamphlet, however implies a much more wartime connotation: that aluminium supplies are Going To War but you can […] [Original post on social.coop]

Section of the pamphlet featuring an illustration of a man in a suit and a photomontage that includes an electric heater, a lightbulb, and a woman doing her hair. Text reads:
"When you do your 'imagineering' on the products you expect people to buy tomorrow with the War Bonds they're buying today, remember that the high reflectivity of aluminum for light and radiant heat will make your products stand out in the markets. Data and information on this characteristic of aluminum can be supplied promptly on request; the aluminum can be supplied just as soon as the needs of the war job are met."

Section of the pamphlet featuring an illustration of a woman surrounded by an aluminium pail, pie dish, and saucepan. Below is a photomontage of aluminium foil cigarette packaging. Text reads:
"Today, of course, aluminium has gone to war. But indulge yourself in some "Imagineering" if the use of a non-toxic metal enters your plans, and don't forget there'll be lots and lots of aluminum available when Hitler and Tojo are licked."

[transphobia] I had almost convinced myself that Róisín Murphy would come around but nope, properly doubling down on the transphobia. Didn't think I'd be mourning twice for this woman's body of work.

Tweet from Róisín Murphy that reads: "It was never real. Terribly sad though. Absolute havoc wreaked on children, families and society." The tweet includes a graph speciously attributed to Harvard's Cooperative Election Survey showing a change in U.S. 18-22 year olds that identify as nonbinary from 3% to 2% from 2021-2024 and a change in people who identify as transgender in the same population from 5.5% to 3.5%.

Twitter conversation in response to Róisín's initial tweet. A user writes "I thought the statement you made back in 2024 was the last time you would speak about this topic" to which Róisín repiles, "I was told over and over to 'go and get educated' well I did."

My parents have spent all summer replacing the windows and sliding on the house. It looks so nice and really brings out the architecture! I'm officially declaring it #MidwestModern

Picture of a house with a shallow peaked roof and four new windows. The first floor is clad in brown and tan brick while the upper floor has dark brown sliding with tan shake siding above and below the windows. There is a deck off one side, a garage out of frame off the other, and red steel scaffolding in front of the first floor.

Reading up on László's contribution to this #RedNetwork #PBP split and it's so disheartening. Like 1. What sort of fictional working class voter are you chasing who wants socialized health care but just not for trans people? and 2. How are you blind to the fact […] [Original post on social.coop]

Quote from László that reads: To organise on commonly-held demands is ‘independent mass action’ which will drag the entirety of society to the left. Revolutionary realpolitik demands this sort of compromise. It does not demand to abandon principles, however. The truth is that there are demands which are of the utmost importance but around which a mass movement cannot be built, for instance trans rights. It is only through deferring trans rights for now until we hold political capital built around other demands that we can wield our future power for this specific minority.

I'm really being a hater these past couple days but like how did Dublin Front Runners decide that this graphic was a good thing to post publically? If anything this will dissuade any women or genderqueer folks from thinking the club could ever be for them.

Membership Update from Dublin Front Runners showing location and demographic trends over the past four years.
Men in the club increased from 256 in 2022 to 426, women from 59 to 74, and non-binary/genderqueer members were 3 in 2023, 4 in 2024, and 2 in 2025.

The graphic also includes 'Trend Highlights' which read:
"📈Growth: Club membership has grown by 59% from 2022 to 2025
🔄Consistency: Women's representation has stayed stable at around 15-19% with 2024-2025 on par so far. With 7 months still to go - this shows our initiatives are working!
🌈Inclusion: Non-binary representation peaked in 2023-2024, which we are looking to increase."

Made this erasure poem a few years ago but it feels like it hits harder now. #poetry

An erasure poem made from an article titled "Lower fertiliser sales effect profits" from the 28 Feb 1970 issue of the Irish Farmers Journal. The poem reads:
the past has
been rather unexciting.

no small

appoint
ment
to
the present

and it is pleasant to see War
as we hold Imperial
shares

now
an enormous figure,
over the
yard-

in
fibres
and plastics
is

sowing
problems
on the door-
step

revealing
clay

The concealed inner reserves
of damp

clay

turned
out on the
banks
of
next year.

ed but
worried

predicts no reason to
believe
