Amazing to live in a country where the secret police are handling inter-chud beefs. It's like the Night of Long Knives playing out in the parking lot of a Dollar General.

I didn’t see a place to add this in my story (in the quoted post) but I found my great grandfather’s US citizenship application, in which he had to swear he was not an anarchist. (He was an Italian immigrant in Boston, and it was a few years after the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti.)

I honestly suspect that he vacillates like this in order to push what people will accept as a norm. The news cycle has moved on from him kidnapping the president of Venezuela, or threatening to invade Greenland, or colonizing Palestine or— it’s not distraction. It’s abuser behaviour.

Not a serious question. The reason to boycott the Harry Potter series is not just because of J.K. Rowling’s heinous views. Any money she makes from the show will be used to terrorize trans people. She has made this abundantly clear. This is not a theoretical.

In 1984, the historian David Noble showed that when the US military and American manufacturers automated their factory floors, they consistently chose systems that were slower and more expensive but which moved decision-making away from workers and into management. The point was not efficiency - it was frequently extremely wasteful - but control.

Want to re-emphasize what this bill does. It implements a $1,000 bounty for anyone to sue someone they suspect is trans and using the bathroom.

(h) (1) Any individual who, while accessing a multiple-occupancy private space designated for use only by such individual's sex, is aggrieved by the invasion of such individual's personal privacy or is otherwise harmed by a violation of this section by an individual of the opposite sex may bring a cause of action against such individual of the opposite sex. In bringing such action, the individual may seek either actual damages or liquidated damages in the amount of $1,000, as well as declaratory and injunctive relief.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

The impact that @alokvmenon.bsky.social has had on early-modern asexuality studies continues to reverberate! This slide is from Theo Northcraft's paper "Dis/covering Chastity: Dealing with the Revealing(s) of Britomart" at the Early Modern Asexualities symposium currently underway. #RenAsexy

A screenshot of a slide in the colors of the ace and trans flags. Highlighted on the slide is the quotation, "Politicize what they call natural. Naturalize what they call political," from Alok Vaid-Menon. The slide is by Theo Z. Northcraft (he/they), ABD; theo.northcraft@mail.utoronto.ca; The University of Toronto.

It just further shows how the ace and aro experience, and the struggle against compulsory sexuality and its associates, is in fact, very, very old. In seeing our experiences in old texts, we can also see a path to ace and aro liberation.

This conference has been a wonderful breath of fresh air for me, having been so used to the idea that asexuality and the ace experience is something "new" - it's just so amazing to see these experiences mirrored and seen in what is seen as "old".

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.
