On a black background, we see the picture of a woman, twice. She's a cis white woman, in the dark, naked, her long brunette straight hair falling on her breasts. No make up. The first iteration of the picture has a pink filter, the second a dark lavender one. Band name and album title are written in that same dark lavender tone. Everything feels chaotic, everything feels like it's all falling apart, and I've surprised myself by making this album. I really thought I had nothing left in me to say, to do. I seem to go through these feelings after each album is completed, but this time I really believed it. Until out of the blue, early Spring 2024, I wrote a lot of these songs. We had released in the weeks prior "Avert Your Eyes", as a single-only, written as an intention. The new album is a need. This is saturated solace. Like an alt of myself. This is what I feel. I don't want to have to find more resilience, again and again. I want the sufferings to end. I hope we get there. "Along the Way" ' track o7, is dedicated to the trans community and trans kids especially. -Sylvia Solanas and a white and purple picture of a woman standing, processed through several filters.

Q: So, to be clear, you've made a key part of the DCU going forward about a government official abusing their power by having masked thugs come in the middle of the night and expel innocent people from the planet. A: [Grins] It's just totally fiction, Brian. This is, like, something that can never happen on our planet, but that's the beauty of things like comic books — you can explore things that would never, ever happen on our world.

On Gen Z masculinity: "On one hand, there's this idea of Gen Z as super-duper woke and all that. And then there's this idea of young men being so Andrew Tate, MAGA masculinity. And neither of those ideas are wrong, but I think that the two have clashed into each other in a really strange way, so that my generation is full of men who are embarrassed about their masculinity, but also insecure in it, and so really need to own it. And so it's this clash of 'Oh my God, I'm a man. That's not cool these days. That's not chill.' And also, 'It's so not cool for me to not be a man. I have to be so masculine and so perceived as a guy doing "guy" correctly' Plus it has to be nonchalant. You can't be trying ever, you're not allowed to try, and you have to not care about your masculinity or about lack of it." On expectations for men: "The expectations for men have gotten higher, and I think that's fine. But I think there's some statistic about women doing better in general, just in terms of the workplace, mental health. They have more community. Another thing that I've noticed just being in college is that girls have so many more friends and have the capacity to be more vulnerable with them and, just, guys don't have that avenue. I think that's a major part of everything, where there's a lack of meaningful community for guys. But, and I think that kind of goes back to the point where the expectations are higher and women don't necessarily need a guy, a man, because they're doing so well, they've been able to provide for themselves. So I think that's a trend that we're heading in." On his generation's fears around dating: "I think the fear of rejection is definitely there. Because you're constantly being surveilled, even in public. You can be photographed or videoed anywhere. It almost seems like we're all just policing each other now. It's impossible. I'm policing myself online. It's this constant. It's like a surveillance society."

What is Autism?

from @dr-nicky.bsky.social Neuroqueer Heresies
What Is Autism? Autism is a genetically-based human neurological variant. The complex set of interrelated characteristics that distinguish autistic neurology from non-autistic neurology is not yet fully understood, but current evidence indicates that the central distinction is that autistic brains are characterized by particularly high levels of synaptic connectivity and responsiveness. This tends to make the autistic individual's subjective experience more intense and chaotic than that of non-autistic individuals: on both the sensorimotor and cognitive levels, the autistic mind tends to register more information, and the impact of each bit of information tends to be both stronger and less predictable. Autism is a developmental phenomenon, meaning that it begins in utero and has a pervasive influence on development, on multiple levels, throughout the lifespan. Autism produces distinctive, atypical ways of thinking, moving, interaction, and sensory and cognitive processing. One analogy that has often been made is that autistic individuals have a different neurological "operating system" than non-autistic individuals.

Charlie Kirk = Charlie Hebdo ? Un parallèle indigne ! SnJ cgt radio france Nous avons été choqués d'entendre vendredi matin 12 septembre dans la matinale de France Culture Guillaume Erner dresser dans son billet d'humeur un parallèle, selon lui pertinent, entre l'assassinat aux États-Unis de l'influenceur d'extrême-droite Charlie Kirk et celui de nos confrères de Charlie Hebdo il y a 10 ans, qui avait suscité le mouvement de soutien « Je suis Charlie ». Si tout assassinat, qu'il soit ou non politique, est condamnable, toutes les opinions, en revanche, ne sont pas égales et ne peuvent être mises sur le même plan au nom de la liberté d'expression. Charlie Kirk était ouvertement raciste, sexiste, homophobe, opposé à l'avortement... Fervent partisan des armes à feu, dont la liberté de port justifiait bien selon lui « quelques décès chaque année », il revendiquait également son refus de toute forme d'empathie, un concept selon lui « inventé et new age ». Ces idées d'extrême-droite qui incitent à la haine sont contraires aux libertés démocratiques et peuvent même constituer en France des délits. Dresser un parallèle entre son assassinat et celui de nos confrères, engagés dans un long combat contre la haine et le fascisme, pour le droit à la caricature ou au blasphème, est totalement inacceptable et indigne de nos radios de service public. Le pluralisme, oui. La banalisation des idées de haine, non ! Paris, le 16/09/2025 La CGT Radio France - Le SNJ-CGT Radio France Maison de la Radio, pièce 9D57 116 Av. du Président Kennedy, 75016 Paris cgt@radiofrance.com / snj-cgt@radiofrance.com

“Care work is hardcore. It is life and death work. It is fevers and risk and birth and illness and screaming and love and transference. It is transformation and hope. It is quick thinking and deep patience. It is resentment and anger. It is sacrifice and gift.” (full quote in alt text)
- Lucy Jones
“Care work is hardcore. It is life and death work. It is fevers and risk and birth and illness and screaming and love and transference. It is transformation and hope. It is quick thinking and deep patience. It is resentment and anger. It is sacrifice and gift. In these years of car-ing, our vulnerability becomes so stark. I thought mothering would just be changing nappies and cuddling a baby. Instead it took me to the edge of what it means to be human. It tested my empathy to the limit, it challenged me intellectually, it required me to answer and ask questions constantly, to consider metaphysics and the origins of matter.” Matrescence, Lucy Jones, page 245 (Penguin)

All these platforms are dumpster fires "moderated" by bad actors but we gotta start somewhere: this one is now clearly in the hands of a crypto-fascist shilling for Identitarian National Socialist state capture so he and his ghoulish oligarch fin/tech bros can enthrone themselves at the head table of a corporatist security/surveillance protectorate. These venal dissociated masters of the universe with their interplanetary fantasies and nativist lies have nothing but contempt for the non-rich. Their unbridled techno-feudalist asset takeovers and labour exploitation/gamification will further dispossess and immiserate us all. They are ontologically anti-humane and they are our ENEMIES. We're outta here Don't give up Pick a side Love CST
