I enjoy this place, but the people in charge of it are obviously so embarrassed that their userbase ended up as left-leaning as it is.
according to bluesky, working for ice is a protected class against discrimination lol

This is what epistemic vandalism looks like. Not just erasure, but insisting on a standard of communication that is by default dehumanizing, degrading and degendering, laundered as neutral language on pseudoscientific grounds.
Encoding bias into how we are even referred to.

The BBC claims to have “research” that supports its decision to use abusive transphobic terms for trans women.
But it will not share that “research”.
At the most basic level research is not research if it is not published.
It is just a lie. The BBC is lying.

RIP Michael Parenti, you were a real one. Let us mourn him with a brief clip from the legendary Yellow Parenti speech. He will be missed.

Parenti was one of the finest American Communists of his era… this does admittedly sound like a backhanded compliment but he was really good!

LENA, THE CRYPTOZOOLOGIST'S WIFE - A defeat, I'm afraid. The people of this archipelago tried to build something new, something *different*. The rest of the world didn't like it, so they came and ended it. This was forty two years ago.

Parenti, a great voice against empire, dying on the same day as yet another murderous escalation by empire's most perverse little demons turned inward to terrorise their own. Got a lot of thoughts that can't go here but I know this, it doesn't stop till we win.

did he take the bait, tim? when he was on his hands and knees begging for his life as they beat and murdered him, was he taking the bait you warned about?
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Stand up for immigrant and trans and queer people in Minneapolis
honestly, being a trans woman in minneapolis right now is crushing. it feels like the whole world has abandoned me. i can't leave my house, i've been sick for two weeks, and i'm going to start being charged rent in a month.
your shares and donations would be potentially life saving.

One of the defining characteristics of bad social science is that it's frequently applied to non-Western societies in ways that no one would think to apply to Western societies.
Because if you did, you'd get absurdities like this!

"Applying this logic would lead one to necessarily conclude that England under Queen Victoria was a non-gendered, non-patriarchal society."

For my upcoming book's final entry, I want to examine the claim that "the gender binary is colonial", which depends a lot on the scholarship of Maria Lugones and Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí.
So let's take a closer look at their work, shall we?

The funniest anticommunist interaction I had, was at a wedding, where we started singing the internationale, and someone asked us to stop, cause the idea of socialism made her really uncomfortable.(she had of course no such problem with more rightwing songs, sung by other people)
