I’ve had mixed feelings about reading it. I already believe her and don’t know if it’s constructive for me emotionally (SA survivor x2, post-therapy) AND being present is the right thing to do. Maybe I’ll buy it and put it in the little free library in my neighborhood. 🤔

It's Asexual Awareness Week (or Ace Week)! Did you know #asexuality isn't just one thing, but an entire spectrum with many identities and experiences?

No matter where you are on the ace spectrum, you are part of our community!

Happy Ace Week! Ace week runs this year from 19th to 25tb October.

This week should be about ace joy, as much as it is about awareness, education etc. but we know this week can be difficult too because with increased visibility there also comes acephobia.

I’m thinking of Federici’s Caliban and the Witch and wondering about self-starvation as resistance, power, opportunity in a changing world that devalued women’s work in the shift to capitalism.

Fwiw, it was one of these stories that got me into ED recovery.

In a historical context where art is being ripped off and stripped of its nuance, I find old school plagiarism equally abhorrent.

UKL’s quote was embedded in their thread without quotes or attribution.

I’m not assuming anything.

That thing about a gun in their mouth? That’s plagiarized from Saul Williams.

@philmandelbaum.bsky.social plagiarizes and blocks when you point to the source material. Gotta wonder about a “creative” scraping Ursula K LeGuin, thinking no one is going to recognize her style, content, and widely circulated NBF quote about art vs inevitability.

I fixed your direct quote for you.

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”

Ursula K. LeGuin

The Trump administration is reopening the Irwin County Detention Center, which subjected women to forced medical procedures with no oversight. This is deeply disturbing and dangerous. Read my full statement:

This entire argument by Louisiana and the conservatives questions are premised on an erasure of Congress’ enforcement power under the 14th & 15th Amendments.

Literally swinging for the fences to wipe out the premise for the legitimacy of Congress’ power to enact civil rights statutes.

If you’re hearing news about a cancer break-through and wonder what’s hype and what’s not, here’s a good explainer of the actual findings in animal studies.

This is some elegant science that pulls together several lines of long-standing inquiry, and yes, it’s a BFD.
