I love pattrice jones's (co-founder of @vinesanctuary.bsky.social) wonderful entry for the letters E J A N S P W remembering Jane Goodall (see comments for link)

Jane sees apes.
Jane appeases apes.
Apes jape Jane.
Jane senses ape sense.
Jane spews ape news.
We see apes anew.
Jane passes.
We weep.

"Animality offers oppression an alibi. A racist, xenophobic,
homophobic, transphobic, and misogynist worldview functions
within a human/animal binary. One aspect of animality used to justify oppression is that (animal-like) bodies are unruly yet manageable." Hope this helps!

Thanks for asking. I'm not sure why you think I would get pissed off or change the subject. Yes, I studied with Mary Daly. Yes, I reviewed her book in 1991 or whenever. Please consult the recent editions of my books, including the updated "the Pornography of meat" where I write:

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails

the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

Michael Wolff suggests in an email (in 2015) that if Trump were to say in public that he had never been to Epstein’s house or on his plane, Epstein would have leverage over him.

Which…means that Trump was at his house and on his plane and that Epstein had the receipts to prove it. So.

Stop using the language of the rapist.

It is not sex with children, it is rape of children.
It is not underage girls, it is children.
It is not sex trafficking, it is rape trafficking.

EPSTEIN: even today, after the release of the key Epstein-Maxwell emails in which Epstein says Trump knew about the "girls" but hasn't "barked" (presumably, talked), the NYT reports that the WH is intensely pressuring the House NOT to vote to release more? How much worse is what we have not seen?

Now in a position of power at the network, Ms.
Weiss is the one concerned about leaks. She has complained that her comments at private CBS meetings keep turning up in media reports, asking if the company can identify the leakers, according to three people familiar with her remarks.

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23
