It was a bit more depressing than I thought it would be seeing Manchester City play. Knowing that they have been found guilty but we play on like it’s nothing is such a bad look. Months of this ahead too. What a dark cloud

I had to watch the city-liverpool game late, which means my rage is delayed as well but burns no less hot for the wait. UGH get them out of this league.

Ordered this for my dad’s birthday and it came for mine. Who was this present really for…
The art book After Review: The 25-26 Arsenal Season, by Poorly Drawn Arsenal, propped up on a piano. The cover shows a cartoon of Mikel Arteta being thrown in the air.

Players are called out when they fuck up. As are managers. And fans. All are required to explain themselves. But for as long as I can remember we've been told not to question refs, to treat them as some sort of infallible being not subject to the same human pressures as everyone else.

Actually the name differences are regional and they’re still called Samoas where they use Little Brownie Bakers, as they have been. Just like the peanut butter and chocolate ones are called Tagalongs in those areas and Peanut Butter Patties in the regions where they use ABC Bakers.

Whenever a beloved celebrity dies, I check to make sure they weren’t transphobic. Gloria Steinem went from Transsexual Empire-inspired transphobia in the 70s to full support in later life. Heroes change their opinions when they realize they’re wrong. www.transgendermap.com/issues/topic...
Anti-trans views and reconsideration
In February 1977, amid increasing anti-trans sentiment surrounding transgender athletes in general and Renée Richards in particular, Steinem published an anti-trans article titled
"If the Shoe Doesn't Fit, Change the Foot." Steinem claimed "transsexuals are paying an extreme tribute to the power of sex roles. In order to set their real human personalities free, they surgically mutilate their own bodies..." Steinem also embraced the conspiracy theory of "the transsexual empire" promoted by Janice Raymond.
In 2013, Steinem addressed z "words circulated out of time and context" from those previous writings:
So now / want to be unequivocal in my words: / believe that transgender people, including those who have transitioned, are living out real, authentic lives. Those lives should be celebrated, not questioned. Their health care decisions should be theirs and theirs alone to make. And what / wrote decades ago does not reflect what we know today as we move away from only the binary boxes of "masculine" or "feminine" and begin to live along the full human continuum of identity and expression.
In 2021, Steinem signed an open letter supporting trans women and girls, saying, "I am proud to sign this letter because we all must fight against the unnecessary barriers placed on trans women and girls by lawmakers and those who co-opt the feminist label in the name of division and hatred."

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...
stick a pin in this metaphor

…because these covers are a microcosm of the entire conflict; Walden's book is mostly built on writing and other objects left by Sylvia Drake, Charity Bryant, and others. Her work includes many elements from these records that Cleves does not refer to in her book, and many of her interpretations of those records are different from Cleves's interpretations, often intentionally so. In addition to her historical basis, Walden's book includes fictional dialogue and story elements that are original to her work, some of which are inspired by Walden's own life.

literally no one on bluesky dot app can decide for me, in my personal circumstances, what compromises make sense. I have hard lines that other people find extreme. and I have places where I've made compromises that other people find abhorant. I just know I'm trying & doing my best, so that's that.
