iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Bruins and Goldeneyes are each only in town once this season and I'm missing both due to scheduling conflicts; this is why we should never expand leagues and instead should make every team visit my city four times a year.

Delights from this weeks' Swedish class, my conversation partner is watching the OC and made sure I knew what happened before season 4 so we could agree it was ett sorglig teveprogam. (I was like don't worry, I'm 37, I'm aware what happened on the OC)

Sister Helen Prejean started writing and speaking out because of her belief that if the violence innate to the death penalty became visible to the public we would be shamed into abolishing it, and I keep hoping one day we prove her right.

Beginning attempt 1 at basic home screen printing and it is already not quite looking like the video tutorial but we'll see! I'm trying photo emulsion first but I'm also v intrigued by drawing fluid because it's closer to my experience with stenciling on shirts.

I'm really glad that Code Switch included this part of my interview, because I think these are the points that so often get lost in the discussion of trans panic and why the WNBA might be an ideal target for those anti-trans groups to latch onto. www.npr.org/2026/09/15/n...

We're talking about actual bigotry and the belief that this group of people shouldn't have, like, the same human rights as another group. It legitimizes them. And so the WNBA is a big platform for them to be able to do that. But I think what's actually really insidious about being the target is that transphobia is rooted in white supremacist ideas of who is allowed to be a woman and what a woman should look like. Those beliefs have, you know, negatively impacted Black and brown and non-Western women throughout history.

So what you have is a league in the WNBA that is full of Black women, 7-foot-tall women, masculine women, women who don't fit kind of the traditional markers of conventional white Western ideas of womanhood. And so I don't think it's surprising that transphobic ideas around the acceptable kind of woman are coming and impacting this league.

And I think the last piece that I will say is, I think, in some ways, the lack of visibility that the league had for a lot of years really protected it. Like, it wasn't as successful as it should have been because of racism and homophobia and misogyny. And once it becomes successful, the flip side of that is it really does become a different kind of victim of those ideas. And the fact that you have a league that is all women, predominantly Black women, largely queer women who have been successful and they don't need men to do it, and their product is not necessarily for men. I think that's a threat to the status quo. And so it's not just about protecting women's sports. It's actually about dismantling them from the inside.
