“Land sparing” is a stubbornly persistent legend/myth that needs challenging! Land sparing approaches don’t actually spare land, yet they do function to sustain the productivist worldview & reinforce industrial farming systems Thanks to @adamcalo.bsky.social & the other authors for writing this 🙏🏽

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything.

Big fan of this book (obviously): www.sonorajha.com/how-to-raise...

Sonora Jha

HOW TO RAISE A FEMINIST SON

A love story that will resonate with feminists who hope to change the world, one kind boy at a time

From teaching consent to counteracting problematic messages from the media, well-meaning family, and the culture at large, we have big work to do when it comes to our boys. This empowering book offers much-needed insight and actionable advice. It’s also a beautifully written and deeply personal story of struggling, failing, and eventually succeeding at raising a feminist son.
Informed by the author’s work as a professor of journalism specializing in social justice movements and social media, as well as by conversations with psychologists, experts, and other parents and boys, this book follows one mother’s journey to raise a feminist son as a single immigrant woman of color in America. Through stories from her own life and wide-ranging research, Sonora Jha shows us all how to be better feminists and better teachers of the next generation of men in this electrifying tour de force.
Includes chapter takeaways, and an annotated bibliography of reading and watching recommendations for adults and children.

Praise For How To Raise A Feminist Son

"Jha issues an urgent, fervent plea to raise feminist sons in this trenchant guide. At times touching and always impassioned, this is an excellent resource for like-minded parents."
—Publishers Weekly

“You can’t punish your way to a more feminist world, I’ve long believed; you have to create, encourage, invent that world, especially in how you raise kids, but that’s only one reason Sonora Jha’s book is exhilarating and inspiring. It’s a beautiful hybrid of memoir, manifesto, instruction manual, and rumination on the power of story and possibilities of family I can’t wait to put in the hands of everyone raising kids or thinking about how we do it and how it could be different.”
—Rebecca Solnit, author of The Mother of All Questions

Read this thread & also the NYT story (which will, be warned, make you physically sick and very distressed indeed, so keep that in mind). The campus police DID NOT TELL THE PROSECUTOR all that Jane Doe said. The campus police *omitted* her most important statements about what those men did to her.

Every single newspaper that reported that Jane Doe “changed her story” should be rushing to publish retractions right now. This case should be a lesson in taking a DA’s victim-blaming statements at face value. Victims do not report to the police because they thought nothing happened to them.

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

From the jump, this writer is shadowboxing. I don't think anyone who opposes the use of AI in writing-intense courses is arguing that writing is the ONLY way a person learns to think. But that does not diminish how critical it is to the development of one's point of view.

Opening of September 29 New York Times opinion piece by Joe Cruz entitled, "What If Writing Isn't Central to Thinking?"

Most college professors I know believe that students learn to think — critically, creatively, reflectively, tenaciously — only by writing. At Williams College, where I am a professor, writing skills are among the very few general education requirements.

It’s no surprise, then, that universities see artificial intelligence as an existential threat, and have launched an arms race of countermeasures: more proctored essay exams; test-taking rooms shielded from the internet; requirements that essays be composed on platforms that track all edits, so the word-for-word genealogy can be verified. I’ve heard professors rejoicing when they see typos or grammatical errors in an essay, as if they proved that a student wrote it without any help from A.I.

But what if we are mistaken in treating writing as the highest cultivation of thought?

It’s true we shouldn’t expect state and local police to defend voters from ICE at the polls. But it’s not so much because it’s logistically tricky or because they’re scared or outnumbered or were told not to, but because they’re all law enforcement, and this is how law enforcement works.
