Due to being a refugee, I only get invited to interviews for menial and service jobs. Because of my disability, I can't work those. I live on modest and sporadic freelance earnings and can't afford surgical expenses. Please help if you can 🙏

Good News: On my last follow up, my FFS surgeon was confident things were okay.
Bad News: The whole process was way more expensive than I anticipated and all the money I had set aside to help me get through my revision next month is now gone.

It's interesting just how joined up the network of celebrity misogynists is. I don't think it makes sense to cast Epstein as, like, the sinister puppetmaster behind it all. I think that flatters him far more than he deserves. What it does show, as in this video, is how...

A bunch of women and girls get abused and all the discussion is about the political manoeuvrings of the men involved. You have to laugh, don't you?

Great clip of @taliabhatt.itch.io on "Gender Ideology," fascist conspiracies, and the danger trans people pose to the far right.

"Non-binary" umbrellas a lot of different and even divergent things, and sometimes there is a rather ugly tension between those who use it to express repulsion from womanhood and those (who are very often transfem) for whom it is additive to womanhood or kin to it
There's a lot unexamined about the unstated prescriptivism and norms around non-binary identity in Western, anglophonic contexts, but it's really operative in how the Woman is constructed as this binary, regressive, unqueerable positionality.

You're not doing androgyny by way of masc-as-neutral presentation? You're feminine but not read as an effeminate male?

It's "non-binary people don't owe you androgyny" until the queers who get read as feminine women claim a non-binary identity. Then the androgyny debt collectors come a-knocking

In fact eroticized exploitation, abuse, domination, and violence are in fact normative parts of male heterosexuality—they’re largely constitutive of how men define themselves as men. The big feminist and queer intervention in sexual politics has been to say that this is corrosive and unnecessary.
Presented without comment. I just want everyone here to know.
I want you to know what you're looking at the next time you see this guy being interviewed or RTed by an Abundance bro.
