I had a really productive conversation with Jude here, and wanted to thank him for consulting me on the dominance feminist perspective. So many others are satisfied to shy away from the crux of the matter and avoid the sex-antagonism at the heart of 'crises' of masculinity. Give it a read!

i realize the title is a bit counterintuitive but the answer is that you cannot as an individual guarantee your food is safe. we can, as a collective, push back HARD on dismantling food safety regulations, and put pressure on an unpopular administration to keep our food from killing us.

Just a little FYI: if you're looking for a good May Day/International Workers Day film to watch, Salt of the Earth (1954) is hard to beat. Based on the 1951 Empire Zinc strike in New Mexico, the film includes some of the workers as actors and was one of the first fully independent US films.

let me try to spare ppl some pain today, and repeat something I said in a talk on resistance to Trump last week: you do not have to take advice on how to protest from those who are not themselves willing to protest (and in the NYT ed board’s case, who see disciplining protestors as part of the job)

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

On this day in 1886, Lucy Parsons, a Black anarchist born into slavery, marched with her children at the front of one of the largest labor marches in US history, as workers across the country demanded the eight hour day. Two days later, striking workers were shot.

ICYMI Belgium listened to sex workers' needs and decriminalised sex work! Criminalisation of sex work creates vulnerability and increases violence. These laws were brought in while increasing sentences for rape and centring consent within the law.

I'm gonna be real: I find this just... wildly icky on multiple fronts. For a publisher to make professional publicity material that talks about the fanfic origins of a book they're publishing, when it is Harry Potter, essentially promoting HP (while profiting off it???) at this moment of all times?

The Hand is a stop-motion masterpiece -- and one of the very best animated films. Director Jiří Trnka made it as a protest, attacking the dictatorship that used him as its pawn. But the film has more layers than many realize, as we discover: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/revisiting...

ppl are discussing the illogic of transphobes declaring that "trans women are men" but also "trans men are men" with regards to sex-segregated spaces. I think these reactions make more sense once you recognize their obsession imagined purity & contamination: juliaserano.medium.com/penises-priv...

I'm glad someone finally fucking said it, because implict to this whole conversation is erasure of the fact that trans women are capable of being harmed or assaulted, and erasure of the fact that these exclusionary laws don't just make us "feel bad", but actively endanger us.
