You should be worried. The suspected thief was white and you are presenting some random Black man as a criminal.

Colleague dropped 'Enemy Feminisms' in our group chat weeks ago. I doubt I will read it in full, but this short interview contains so much, I could spend a good amount of time just digging through each point...

"This bifurcation at the moment of feminism’s origin—where one founder wants to keep world institutions, just infused with maternalism, and the other says we must abolish everything for women to be free—is never actually resolved [...]." - @reproutopia.bsky.social

Leaning In to State Violence - Sophie Lewis interviewed by Aya Gruber - Inquest

In ‘Enemy Feminisms,’ philosopher Sophie Lewis engages with the feminism of racists, colonizers, fascists, cops, and jailers to better understand what a truly liberatory politics needs to look like.

Sometimes I wish I’d STFU about shit. But I’d rather be honest than be a liar, no matter what.

Olympia was pretty good. I really liked the cinematography and editing. I mostly liked the acting and writing too. It made me so nostalgic for Chicago/the Chicago arts scene 🥹

I hope that at this stage, we will not continue to be in denial and try to force "normal"

Chantal James @chantalalive.blacksky.app · 10h

People need to stop the thinking that’s like “well when things get back to normal we’ll do this.” Remember how we said that about COVID years ago & we’re still in a pandemic? The United States is not coming back to glory & that shouldn’t be the goal. But WE can try to survive if we get together.

Also in the news report, the child is four years old.

For four years, people have been circulating surveillance images of a Black man carrying a baby in a car seat and joking about him being a criminal...

This c+p story has been floating around since 2021. Sometimes it will say it happened in Beaverton, but not always. I don't know when the photo was added but CNN reported that suspect was "described as a White male with long, dark brown braided hair. He wore a multi-colored face mask."

Reading other people’s arguments online has actually changed my mind about several things tho so please keep arguing.

Mista NoItAll @misstanoitall.blacksky.app · 19h

I observe people on here with obviously diametrically opposed perspectives argue & wonder wtf is the point? Nobody is changing the others' minds. Wasting time that could be used building with like minds to formulate a plan. I guess they just like arguing & attention (of any kind). 😩

I used to learn so much on Twitter, watching people debate/push back. Poetry Twitter used to be really good for that.

cognitive dissonance is a helluva drug @hnysuklchocolat.blacksky.app · 19h

speaking for myself, i post into the void but also comment on others' posts

sometimes it's worth correcting/refuting/engaging bc there are ppl who see it for whom it'll be useful

can you even think of how unsafe and disrespected it feels to BE either woman in this discussion? sitting by while everyone decides if you have big titties people should just automatically be horny on sight? if you don't people should ignore you or immediately determine you as a non sexual being?

This was a show (on Prime I think) called The One. Folks was having existential crises bc their soul mates would be same gendered and they hadn't considered the possibility of LGBTQIA relationships.

If you could take a test and find your soulmate with 99.9% accuracy, would you do it?

Would you get married immediately?

If you were already involved, would you leave them for the soulmate?

yes to the first q (i like the idea of an assessment producing a result). no to the second q, and probably no to the last one. if i've gone so far as to romantically commit myself to someone, it's for a reason. soulmate is some other relationship.
