Tomorrow is #TransDayofRemembrance. For a while I thought I didn't have anything to say about it that I haven't already said but then I started thinking about why we do this and what it means. So here is a short essay about that.

We say their names.

Idag är det Uppsala kommun som väljer att göra dålig reklam för sig själva.

De nekar Martin, 14 år, personlig assistans. Martin har cerebral pares, epilepsi och talsvårigheter, men kommunen menar att hans funktionsnedsättningar inte är permanenta.

Tupinambá-kansan edustaja kiteyttää alkuperäiskansan ongelmat yhteen lauseeseen: he eivät voi syödä rahaa.

Ilmastonmuutoksen edetessä uskon tästä tulevan akuutti ongelma yhä suuremmalle joukolle ihmisiä – ja kenties lopulta jopa ultra-rikkaat havahtuvat.

Mutta onko tuolloin jo liian myöhäistä?!
Ilmasto | Mielenosoittajat yrittivät tunkeutua COP30-kokouksen tiloihin
Brasilian hallituksen mukaan mielenosoittajat edustivat alkuperäiskansoja ja poliittisia ryhmittymiä.

Went to an “antique books” show.

Saw these book covers.

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

Oh look. There really are "no go areas" in England.

And they're marked by St George's flags

NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’
Black and Asian staff left feeling ‘deliberately intimidated’, according to chief executive of one NHS trust

Idé till appspel:

Birgit GO

Ta promenader, bevaka kvarteret från ditt köksfönster, koka blaskigast kaffe, strid mot andra spelare på anslagstavlor, fånga och mata små hundar och barn i detta AR-spel från företaget som gav dig Jaluro och Jaluro Inferno.

The trans accommodation paradigm is demonstrating its own failure in real time. We need to work towards building the project of trans liberation on former ground moving forward.

Det här. 🔥

Det är den bok i hela Bibeln som ägnar _mest_ tid åt vad en kvinna känner eller tänker.

Och hon erkänns en egen röst, en egen vilja, en egen sexualitet (!) och en egen lust.

Gud nämns inte ens i hela boken och ändå är det "Helig skrift" på ett sådant sätt att en del kallar det "Guds ord".

Trevor Philips, "What is the implication of the white poppy?"

Zack Polanski, "The white poppy began after WWI, mainly from women's groups, who talked about peace and antifascism"

"So on the same day we remember the fallen, it's also about looking to the future and saying, we want a world of peace"

Jag är en emotionell läsare över lag, men när jag fick tag på novellsamlingen Berättelser Ur Djupet av @standupmackan.bsky.social, blev jag rent kroppsligt indragen i berättelser som rörde mig ända in i ryggmärgen och fick mig att gråta, längta – och vilja veta mer.
Mina tankar kring boken:

How interesting. Politicians in Finland are talking about the exact same thing today, calling the current plan "impossible to achieve"... Coincidence?!
Is there a stronger indictment of the state of UK politics than this coming from the mouth of the leader of the Opposition?
