I think it’s a mistake to think of the pro-natalist polygamy of Elon Musk as a departure from the “traditional” sexual conservatism. The tradition, really, is not primarily about male monogamy so much as male domination; the collection of multiple women affirms this, rather than subverting it.

Your periodic reminder that, 150 years ago, a desire to read fiction was considered both a sign of mental illness in women and a symptom of it. The groups devoted to banning some books because they're "immoral", "obscene", etc. are just growths from the same bad root.

We live in a golden age of bootlegs, I hope music fans realize and appreciate this. Back in the mid 90's i had to buy bootlegs from a sketchy cd store in a failing strip mall for outrageous prices or from this Australian guy with a coke problem. Now all that shits on YouTube for free it's great

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

Just listened to @kristinwrites.bsky.social book of poetry. As I was lying here, relating So Hard, Timbit jumped up and started giving me kisses. I think some of those were for the author. The book is wonderful. It’s not expensive. If you like poetry, add it to your library.

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

Being autistic can't make you racist etc but being autistic in an anti-autistic society can impede your progress unpacking privilege. Being autistic and traumatized by ableism means collecting "things not to do" with no way of prioritizing them and allistic ppl will receive inquiry as oppression.

Social skills programs tend to teach autistic people "that they have to become normal in order to have friends. It’s not true. There are a lot of autistic people who have friends without becoming remotely normal. Oddness and friendship are entirely compatible." realsocialskills.org/2017/10/04/a...

Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights. These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms
