Avid reader, bumbling goof, trans inclusive, difficult woman. Let's be buds. <3

From March to March I am only reading books written by women & NB authors (with few exceptions). 📚 📖 📙 Comment your recs on my pinned post! All genres welcome.

There is no freedom of mind without unfettered access to new ideas. Education is a requirement of freedom, not an optional facet of it.

This year I am centering the voices of women. Give me your book/comic recommendations!

Yes, trans women are women.

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books
I'm less than 10 minutes in to the Hasan/ethan "debate," and I'm already dead. Lol

I've lost track of how many times ethan has talked over Hasan or cut him off screaming while demanding Hasan ask him a question. Like, wtf is this? How in the world is this 4.5 hours long?

1000%

These are all great examples of how internalized ideals of individual exceptionalism hurts us all. Stop blaming yourself, and start asking who benefits when you accept responsibility for things you have no control over.

If you aren't subscribed to Dr. Manhattan, what are you even doing?
the system profits off of your self-blame. because as long as you’re mad at yourself for buying too many things, for not having enough savings, for not picking a better major, you won't organize, strike, demand or revolt. instead, you demand that it’s your fault even if the system is rigged.

Sitting in the park, having an admittedly late breakfast and listening to Ella (I've Got A Crush on You).

This was the best way to start my day. Wishing you all the peace I found here.

the question isn't: will fascism take over?

the real question is: how much of fascism have you already normalized?

The way she holds up his pic like, "Have you seen this billionaire?!" I laughed so hard.

I'm still going no spoilers for #Sinners but hands down one of my favorite things about this film (and it is HARD to choose a fave aspect) is how Coogler demonstrated consent. Like, it just shows how rapey most mainstream media is.

I'm so sick of people hyping up the 50s. It was a shit time for most people. The only thing I want to bring back from this time is the corporate tax rate. Period.

I started Susan Faludi's #Backlash today. Published in 1991, the first page could easily be used to describe the 2020s. From the benevolent sexists take on protecting women from the need for success to blaming the "infertility epidemic" on women's liberation, this book has it all!

Welp, my evangelical christian apologist maga sister posted a video to her Facebook that equates abortion care to genocide.

After the day I've had trying to talk with her about it, I'm watching #Hacks for the first time over Hawaiian BBQ. Ava is making me feel like a well adjusted adult. Lol

Rafah no longer exists.

Israel has flattened an entire city to build a buffer zone and carve Gaza into military corridors.
This about permanent occupation and ethnic cleansing.

Rafah no longer exists. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently occupy Gaza.
Israel has completely wiped out Rafah, turning a fifth of Gaza’s territory into a giant buffer zone. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently remain in Gaza and ethnically cleanse its people.

Make no mistake, Judge Hannah Dugan is ENFORCING the law, and she was arrested by fascist criminal gangster thugs for doing so.

Ok, so I have seen the first 22 seconds of this 47 SECOND tiktok making the rounds.

It's important to hear the whole thing. I can't wrap my mind around people promoting misrepresentation of what she's saying as a good faith effort to educate people. Literally, WTAF.

Watch a Texas legislator compare women he wants to charge with homicide for having abortions to spanked children.

"The goal isn't to punish," Rep. Brent Money says. But "to  keep them out of a situation that is dangerous for them."

Revisiting Assata Shakur's autobiography again today.

If you haven't read #Assata you are missing out.

At times heartbreaking, frustrating, bewildering. Her ability to highlight problems still prevalent in modern america hits the gut. Also she's hilarious.

Holy fuck. #Sinners is a PERFECT film. Get out there and see it yesterday before it's gone from theaters. Now I know why people have seen it two or three times in the days since it opened.

I can't even think of another movie that exists on this level. Just WOW.

My partner and I once spent an afternoon getting #chatGPT to admit that--metaphorically--it poops.

I can't imagine we are the only ones engaging in this kind of exercise with #AI. Lol

The Trump Administration is attacking women.

And a lot of this sh*t ain’t legal. I asked my @demwomencaucus.bsky.social sisters to break it down.
