For the tl; can't read folks:

Being a subsistence peasant as an absolute nightmare and especially if you were a woman or doing "women's work," where meeting your "respectability" could be nearly impossible for many households.

This week on the blog: More Peasants!

This week, we're modeling the full(ish) structure of women's labor in a pre-industrial peasant household, very roughly assessing the work required for textiles, farming, cooking, cleaning, childcare, etc.

Now with pie chart!

I support abortion at any point during pregnancy for any reason.

I’m getting set up with a mutualista, which is basically like health insurance that supplements the public healthcare here, and they’ve already asked me for my preferred name, which is really nice.

I don’t want people to mistake what I’m posting about most for what I think is most urgent or most important necessarily. I just. I don’t know what to say, you know?

The reason I haven’t been talking about all the fascist bullshit in the US on here that much is mainly that I’m still processing the whole ordeal of having to emigrate, honestly, and part of me doesn’t believe that I won’t be forced to go back somehow.

I will say this: if you think getting out of the US is a possibility for you, you need to start unpacking what that means and what you need to do to get that done as soon as you possibly can. It took my family four months to leave, and that was with a lot of resources and moving lightning fast.

Just to be totally clear, I am not a lawyer and cannot give legal advice. I also recommend seeing an endocrinologist to advise you about HRT before going on it, if that’s at all possible for you.

Rabbit Cohen @bathyspherehat.bsky.social · 2d

You can get HRT from a drug store without a prescription here in Uruguay, by the way. Not sure about puberty blockers.

Things are really scary over there. Sending my love.

I may also be able to give limited advice about emigration from the US in general, but I only have specific experience coming to Uruguay.

If you are in the US and considering migrating to Uruguay, feel free to contact me about my experience as a trans person fleeing the US.

Don’t get me wrong, the animal abuse is horrible. But how is it surprising?

Rabbit Cohen @bathyspherehat.bsky.social · 2d

The shock from leftist gentiles about the whole Hasan Piker dog abuse scandal has confirmed for me that a lot of y’all care more about dogs than you do about Jewish people.

But that’s not how the etymology works. The word “antisemitism” was specifically coined in the 19th century to refer to the hatred of Jews. You can’t just reverse engineer the word and decide it means something else. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/anti-Se...

I am ONCE AGAIN asking gentiles to learn one (1) thing about Neturei Karta apart from their stance on the State of Israel.

In fact, Ultra-Orthodox Jews (among many other sects) angrily reject Zionism precisely because it's against - not merely unnecessary to - Judaism. Here, so you learn something about Judaism:

I’ve also been playing Fire Emblem Engage in Spanish, and I’m pretty sure a teenage boy in that told his friend that one of the steps when he makes pickles is to put the jars in his bed and sleep on them like a mother hen.

Playing Animal Crossing in Spanish is wild, because my Spanish isn’t that good yet, and every conversation in that game is completely unhinged.

I don’t post a lot here because this platform and its culture sucks. One of the ways that it sucks is that people on here are constantly feigning rebellion against Bluesky itself while refusing to actually use other options like Mastodon.

So it turns out that if you post extremely thinly veiled threats directed towards the Bluesky CEO, you get banned? Wao.
