I got really interested last year in the history of alchemical and Aristotelian-Christian thought about the nature of substance, purity and impurity, and how those ideas were applied to humans in the Inquisition and the Conquest. (Un)luckily those ideas are still alive and fucking us up today

TODAY: @sirosenbaum.bsky.social on a wretched little amicus brief filed by a bunch of philosophers on a court case involving trans girls in sports, and which does "not consider or even mention any real, flesh-and-blood women and girls or the lives they lead" flaminghydra.com/purity-tests/

Purity Tests

Among the cornucopia of horrors pouring out in our daily news, you may have missed this one. It’s an amicus brief, though not it’s not at all friendly, arguing that trans girls shouldn’t play sports o...

Most folks with ecology-focused anarchic politics are vegan, so that makes sense to me. I do eat meat, but I try & only eat meat where I know exactly where it came from. The majority of my cooking is vegetarian, but gods do I love meat.

Yeah, its real similar but importantly less smoky & less salty than U.S. bacon. The one I've been using was cured with black peppercorns, juniper, bay leaves, garlic, & nutmeg

Beleive you me, there's some pots of beans you make where you're gonna want to add some dashi. Just like toss a packet of powdered dashi in there towards the end or make the broth seperately then add it to the bean pot. Either way.

Another day on campus, another new pal 😍

A red-spotted purple butterfly, who landed on my leg. I'm wearing Prada trousers, so maybe the butterfly came by to respect my drip.

This is a really important article, co-written by settler scholar Leon Laidlaw and Fallon Aubee, a Metis Two-Spirit survivor of both day schools and prison incarceration. I'm particularly blown away by the study showing that of the 99 gender-diverse incarcerated people studied, HALF are Indigenous

Trans-affirming prison policies are being revoked in parts of Canada and the U.S. We need to protect Two-Spirit and trans people in prisons

They found 38 unmarked graves of Indigenous children at Immaculate Conception Mission in South Dakota and it didn't make the news outside of Indian Country.

heggseth's weird podcast rant (delivered to 800 generals and admirals for some reason) is just another sign of how this is a tv presidency. they don't really know how to do policy. their instinct is theater. encounter a problem? put on a spectacle

Chuck Schumer tells reporters at White House that Trump seemed completely oblivious to impending increase in health insurance rates and closing of rural hospitals: "By his face and by the way he looked, I think he heard about them for the first time."

I'm in love with the Lorwyn Eclipsed art direction, but very bummed about there being more UB sets than in-universe sets next year. But tbh I've had a ton of fun the past few months focusing only on pauper commander. Building new, fun casual decks for $15 total whips ass

From a transcript of a faculty meeting discussing this:

Faculty are being told to not teach on gender and sexuality at all, regardless of their field, and the Dean isn’t even sure if the faculty *can accept papers from students that discuss these topics*.

FACULTY: But if a student were to take a research
topic that they wanted to research... and they wanted to address something that doesn't fit into the binary composition, are we to tell them, 'you may not write on this topic?' Or are we to treat it just like any other
topic, because we didn't bring it up and we're not talking about it in class?
DEAN: Good question. You were not allowed to discuss that, nor allow that in the classroom setting.
Period.
FACULTY: So a student could not submit a paper about a research topic about transgender?
DEAN: As part of the curriculum setting; correct.
FACULTY: So they cannot submit that paper, and we
vould have to tell them '
vou need to do a diftereni
paper.'
DEAN: That second part I don't know about, but ! need to get back to you.
