Today, I would like to present a deep dive into feminist history that got away from me.
Like, really got away from me.
It is about the futility of a politics of appeasement. It is about the unburial of a neglected feminist history. But most of all, it's about lesbian feminism, and sins unforgiven.

the pro-trans argument is finally up
Note that, at this point, the Idaho/transphobia side of the case had been allowed to present for more than double than normal 30 minutes the SCOTUS claims is standard procedure for each of the two arguments in a case.
Also note that the trend, per SCOTUSblog, is to exceed the 30 min rule.

im pretty well versed on presidential authorities and i do not believe the president has a big “cap credit card rates” button on his desk
could be mistaken but that and the language of “call on” suggests to me he is begging companies to do something voluntarily

the blue people avatar movies now having a white kid in dreadlocks just sort of hanging around the blue aliens is certainly communicating something politically, but I don't think anyone involved in creative decision making on these movies could say WHAT it communicates with any self awareness

It’s legitimately amazing how using a chatbot UI for your LLM has successfully gaslit whole swathes of the media into treating it as a verified source for news about itself.
In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

If you're a creative, twitter is already useless because it suppresses outbound links; if you're a VISUAL artist, twitter has a built-in feature that lets anyone edit your work however they want with an AI. What's even keeping anyone there.

So the paper I worked for in Denver for over 2 years has fully erased me. They changed the byline for every story I wrote for them to their Assistant Director who doesn't report.
I left on good terms, that isn't enough. I'm trans.... why would it be? Now's a good time to pay for trans-owned media.

IMO this entire 'the US will sanction a country for blocking twitter' should be the last straw and an obvious reason for reasonably normal people to stop using it.
