For Pride, I want to share my favorite medieval poem: Even Bochan by Kalonymus ben Kalonymus, a transgender Jewish woman born in the 13th century. Her profoundly moving words are proof that we have always been here, in every community. Full text: voices.sefaria.org/sheets/11532...

Oh, but had the artisan who made mecreated me instead—a fair woman.Today I would be wise and insightful.We would weave, my friends and I,and in the moonlight spin our yarn,and tell our stories to one another,from dusk till midnight.We’d tell of the events of our day, silly things,matters of no consequence.But also I would grow very wise from the spinning,and I would say, “Happy is she who knows how to work with combed flax and weave it into fine white linen.”

The writing is very evocative and pulls you straight into the world and it all works together. I occasionally recommend it to people with the appropriate morally obligatorily tags.

It does. I've personally had a rescue girls complex my whole life (playing house? no, I was a fairy who would rescue children from abusive families and everyone playing with me had to get with the program) so this is reductively bait for my moral algorithm. I am definitely NOT the target audience.

For the record, now that we know the Constitution is not inherently a one-way ratchet, I think we should just fucking go for broke on the ninth amendment. My theory of Constitutional interpretation is "fuck you, everyone gets rights, what do you mean, I can't hear you."

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

I can't remember the theorist offhand, but there's a Black scholar who talks about the urgency of white supremacy. "We can't address racism right now, we have to address [emergency]." And there will always be an emergency. It's a common strategy used across most modes of oppression.

I've only tried the chocolate and celery bitters from Scrappy's. I will absolutely have to try their cardamom. I don't think they sell sample packs, but I really wish they did. They're my favorite bitters company in general. They have an orange one that's literally the best orange I've ever tried.
