I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

Again, I truly *loved* this week’s episode of Heated Rivalry, but IT IS A WISH FULFILLMENT ROMANCE. The success of a gay hockey romance TV show, largely watched by people who are neither hockey players nor hockey fans, is not “proof that the world is ready and all we would do is love you”

remember, if you have a winter cold, eat more clementines than it seems like you really should, and then eat a couple more. it will make you feel better, not in the sense of health, but just in the sense of "clementines are so good and eating them is great"

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things.

There’s no third option.

who deserves a redemption narrative?

Transgender is like driving stick: it's strictly disadvantageous at this point in time, but it's really fucking fun, and you'll look really fucking cool to anyone whose opinion matters.
transgender is like driving stick: it's really fun but some of you have never done it before and instead of trying it you'd rather be a huge bitch about it

One resource that collegiate and PWHL players should absolutely look into is Harrison and Rachel Browne's book "Let Us Play".

Perhaps this (and similar resources) is something that can be provided to players when they are drafted.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

You would also be helping to recompense the Temu theft since I can't do anything about it (I can't even get the relevant page to load, perhaps owing to some regional restrictions). 🥲

The death of Lia Smith shook many in the trans community to their cores, while online it seemed like the top priority of non-trans people was to insist there's no proof that the 21-year-old's ban from her beloved swim team caused her suicide.

Re-sharing as it was one of our top stories this year.

I need every cis person who is framing the OU situation as an academic controversy to read this for the context they are missing and so desperately need to be loudly fighting against.

I think we lost it in editing but I talked about that very thing. Real rural life is virtually invisible — no art for dollar stores and meth clinics. And its racial diversity is erased. Actual rural people, especially poor ones, cannot access its aesthetic power
This is really important, because it is also about who can access the rural aesthetic. It's not always rural residents!
Maybe related, maybe not — I talked with Emily Keegin about rural aesthetics and politics

I deliberately brought only a knitting project with me on this trip so I would work on the knitting but honestly, I actually just want to be spinning right now and I resent the knitting.
