i do think there's an element of this which is that -- at least from *my* last view of the BDS list, many products and companies on it are either exclusive to one industry/not consumer-facing, or already higher-end products

it's really easy for me to boycott SodaStreams cause I-

Love it or hate it, this should be required reading for *any* student of contemporary trans literature or history. What a remarkable book.

Alright I need a short story break before I dive back into another gargantuan anthology, so let's read one of the oldest transfemme books I'm aware of!

Autobiography of an Androgyne is one of the earliest "trans memoirs," published a solid 15 years before the commonly cited 'first' trans memoir.

It occurs to me that the Doctor's polyethnic identity in recent times recontextualises Peter Davison's casting in quite an interesting way.
(For context, although you'd be unlikely to guess it by looking at him, Davison's paternal family is Guyanese. He has close relatives who are visibly Black.)
Peter Davison, a fair-skinned blond man, as the fifth Doctor, circa 1982.

I have actually never seen a politician say anything even remotely like this. Whatever the follow-through, or not, even the fact he said this is really, really something

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

We will be celebrating Canadian Small Presses at the Small Press Party Friday Night!

This is going to be a great event for readers and writers who love our precious small (but shiny!) publishers and want to show them the love!

Presses are awkward to hug but the people who run them ... less so!
A graphic for the Canadian Small Press Party, 7pm October 17th in the Celtic Room.  Text: "Canadian Small Press Party: Chat with authors, editors, and guests of honour, enter the raffle to win cool prizes, and have a drink as we celebrate Canadian small press book pubishers!"

Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

Whilst we're on the subject of shocking living things, did you know police departments routinely shock human beings with tasers until they die and chalk up their deaths to a fake medical condition they call "excited delirium" that was invented by taser companies to absolve themselves of liability?
