I would like to thank the snow for being one thrilling thing of beauty that can be experienced on the level of the city when everything else has been destroyed in either the most corny or murderous possible way

new editions of wittig's novels in english! i think any question of wittig in modern feminism must grasp the concept of a lesbianism beyond the sexed body, go beyond wittig's limitations on race, analyze the woman/lesbian/nonbinary fluidity of being, and contest universals vs differential multitudes
Gabriel Ojeda-Sagué on new editions of Monique Wittig novels, which offer us "a feminism without gender" to envision "a radical reconstruction of the relationship between" us and our bodies. https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/monique-wittig-feminism-gender-lesbianism-review-gabriel-ojeda-sague/

This Watery Place is a phenomenal book that has reoriented my understanding of how we imagine feminist politics now @riislover667.bsky.social
closed out 2025 with my friend and comrade Emma Heaney's miraculous book, simply the Marxist feminist memoir and theory of gestation I've been waiting for: "What if it is this society that is mere and meager in the face of our projects to make each other?"

Blessings to this sweet friend in the new year. Let this be the year we convince each other to divest from mass murder & universal immiseration and move toward a social organization in the image of this shockingly beautiful planet and the desperate protective regard we feel for those we love.

went to see Hustlers in Jersey City in 2019 and the way the entire packed cinema **lost it** at JLo's anti-Wall Street speech: "You see what they did to this country? They stole from everybody. And not one of these douchebags went to jail, not one."
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

There are so many things I find striking here but I especially think it's important to note the implication that these Two-Spirit women knew each other, or at least knew OF each other. There's another source I remember where it is said Two-Spirit trans women regarded each other as sisters.

In 1889, one of the 5 batée on the Crow Reservation told a white physician the number of Two-Spirit trans women she knew of in nearby communities: "Flatheads, four; Nez Perces, two; Gras Ventres, six; Sioux, five; Shoshonis, one." The physician also mentions other communities with Two-Spirit people.
Been really thinking a lot lately about how in the Great Plains and US Southwest, trans women went from being widely visible in supported roles in their tribal communities as late as the 1850s to being recorded as "the last berdaches" by 1900. In 50 years. That's genocide, gendercide, transfemicide.
