Repeating my past recommendation to leave Spotify.
I have recommended leaving them in the past for their exploitation of artists.
Recently, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek invested $700 million in military AI company Helsing. And he is also now their chairman.

“In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

When we understand that oppressors fear us most when we fight for each other, it becomes easier to fight for liberation with our entire lives.
Recall those, throughout history and now, who fought for us with everything they had, so that we could be alive today.

OK SO, 25% book tariffs are set to go live April 2. this is tricky for a number of reasons but the simplest is that most books are published & warehoused in the US, even those by Canadian authors, so this makes it infinitely more complicated than "Buy Canadian Authors" or slapping on a sticker

A lot of global academic conferencing is centered around the US, and US academic orgs have to be thinking very seriously now. You cannot continue to carry on with in person conferencing as if foreign scholars have no impediments to travel.

This thread!
Boy howdy, do I, a trans woman, have some thoughts about how the gender revolution put a lot more emphasis on letting girls do boy stuff, and almost none on letting boys do girl stuff, which if anything reinforced the idea that girl stuff is inferior if not shameful.
I think it's one of the strongest examples of how our gender revolution to this point has been incomplete, mostly a half-effort of increasing tolerance for women doing "masculine" tasks without actually degendering most tasks, while it remains taboo for men to indulge anything seen as feminine.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument.
Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed.
3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened.
Erasure.
