I’m thrilled to be able to share with you an essay reviewing three recent books by Julie Bindel, Kathleen Stock, and Helen Joyce. These three books exemplify the intellectual and political commitments of the so-called “gender critical” movement. lareviewofbooks.org/article/…

Rest in peace. And thank you for speaking out so many years ago about the abuses of children in the Catholic Church when no other public figure would. What you suffered as a woman at the height of her career was inexcusable. Slan, Agus Beannacht de leath #sinead #sineadoconnor

Hegemony means believing your opinion is valuable in every conversation.
It is so wild to me that there are queer & trans discourses that I, a queer & trans person, know not to participate in because they aren’t my lane, but cishets are merrily commenting on *everything*…

ASTROLOGY BUT WITH 10 FEWER SIGNS

This shit is so ridiculous. Blanchardism is just astrology but with 10 fewer signs.

Cis allies, we desperately need you on this one. Call your congresspeople, ESPECIALLY if they're dems/you live in a blue state, and make very clear that caving on trans rights is NOT acceptable.
National trans funding bans are looming, inserted into multiple pieces of must-pass legislation. Indications are that Republicans will play shutdown politics over it. Meanwhile, some Dems indicate "they may compromise." Subscribe to support my work. erininthemorning.com/p/natio…

Seriously, I'm enjoying this season so far but it desperately needs to be queerer. S1 hit bare minimum required queerness for a good season of Trek, and this season hasn't been anywhere near that.
if these two don’t kiss I’m not sure what we’re doing this for

Saying that we are still in a pandemic means we want to make society open and accessible to everyone, and not leave people who are chronically ill, or higher risk behind. Pretending that the pandemic is over does the opposite.

I saw a tweet a day or two ago speculating once again that Musk is trying to tank Twitter on purpose as part of some master plan. And as always, I thought, "Nah, it's going to be something dumber and pettier than that." Sure enough...
To understand Musk's renewed obsession with X and focus on financial services, you REALLY need to understand the X/Confinity merger that became PayPal. And, particularly, the Peter Thiel-led coup that kicked Musk out as CEO/Chief Strategist. Here's how that happened. 1/🧵

I have recently discovered one of the rare shining exceptions. I don't know how their reviews are, but Resonant Arc's deep-dive podcasts are fantastic. I've devoured their Xenogears and Xenosaga series and am about halfway through their FFVI, all in the space of about two weeks.
the Nostalgia Critic "The Wall" review is famous for being a weirdly high effort hack, simplistic, bad-faith reading of the source material. the thing is: most video games commentary on youtube is and has always been operating on exactly the same level as that review!

And I should note that I am very not a podcast person, I rarely make it through a single episode.

This is a *perfect* example of antisemitic Holocaust narrative appropriation/inversion, which I’ve been working on for a little while. It happens all the time in right wing rhetoric, esp. around contentious issues, so here’s a 🧵 that might help recognize it for yourself 1/
