This is too good not to share excerpts. It gets to the heart of both Graham Platner's appeal and the backlash to "girlboss HR feminism"
For the antifeminist leftist, the HR Lady symbolizes the empty triumph of managerial liberalism and girlboss feminism, to be vanquished by a

Syria’s Mandatory Imperial Tribulation | Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
In an interview, Elizabeth Thompson recalls how the country formulated a liberal constitution in 1920, before being denied by France and Bri
Michael Young: Your book How the West Stole Democracy from the Arabs: The Syrian Arab Congress and the Destruction of its Historic Liberal-Islamic Alliance examines a key moment in modern Syrian history, the period between November 1918 and July 1920, when we see a thwarted effort to establish an independent Syrian state with a liberal constitution. What are your main takeaways from this period?
Elizabeth Thompson: Thank you for this question. I see two takeaways. First, that left on their own, before colonization, a full spectrum of Syrian leaders committed to a democratic regime. The constitution they adopted in principle, and with full ratification of the first six articles, remains arguably the most democratic constitution in the Arab world to date, reflecting the political culture they inherited as Ottoman citizens. This finding forces us to ask new questions about modern Syrian and Arab political history.
the rest of the interview doesn't really raise many new questions in the way that's suggested here IMO but it did sure make me want to read her books. I've been going through archival files related to Syria and Lebanon from the 20s through the 60s for months and I am tortured every single second by what could have been

working in the UNESCO archives is always so weird. Major Names will just pop up where you have no particular reason to expect it. like badum badum I'm reading correspondence about setting up a symposium on social sciences in economic development in Beirut in 1957 and wait what is WASSILY LEONTIEFF doing here. yada yada reading about a cultural center maybe being set up in the UAR and hold on is he writing to THAT Taha Hussein?! (he is)
Aldous fucking Huxley just showed up on this letterhead as "Chairman, Cttee. for the Study on Symbols" "(deceased)"
you have to forgive the printer because it's one of the most machine-ass machines we interact with on a day to day basis. that thing says kerchunk. hardly anything says kerchunk these days. you can't get mad at her when she kerchunks up a little.
Crazy that tech has gotten so bad that we're doing printer forgiveness now

I forget if I showed the beautiful Tyrian purple that they made in the synthesis chemistry lab that I collaborated with at the art museum. They’ve been synthesizing mostly blue pigments and dyes from throughout history. This was my first time seeing Tyrian purple in person and I was so excited!
Historically it was made from murex snails and was hugely expensive and used by royalty, but chemically it’s similar to indigo so the class was able to create it in the lab without snails.
My fiance and I are having multiple surgeries soon. We dont have dates yet, but we are told to expect consults within the next month or so, and to expect things to move quick after. These surgeries are gender affirming, but they're being pushed through so quickly because they're also going to treat severe, life affecting medical conditions we both have. This is amazing, especially because insurance will cover most of the medical costs.
But there's one massive issue. Hospitals generally cannot feed us. So we need to bring our own food which is going to be incredibly expensive (breakdown below the cut) and on top of that, weve been prescribed medication that insurance wont cover, so we need $85 for that.
I do art as seen below, I have a patreon and kofi for those. I have a GFM up to help with this and that explains a lot more too. If you'd like to help outright, here are some links.

$5 has been recieved since this was posted. I had posted previously about needing medications for both myself and my fiance that insurance wouldn't cover, we got mind, and we arent far from gettinf his. We are currently estimating between the med for him that insurance won't cover and the food for the weeks in the hospital after surgeries, we will need $1,245. Obviously insurance hasn't yet processed everything, but insurance is expected to cover everything else. All things considered, this is extremely cheap for a handful of gender affirming surgeries + surgeries that will treat long term organ damaging health issues. It is also not something we can achieve by ourselves.
Huge thank you to anyone who shares or helps. It feels really surreal to be getting all this scheduled during pride month in an increasingly fascist country.
after the things I've seen in these files going all the way back to the 40s when people supposedly had penmanship I will not be taking criticism about my handwriting ever again
24/7 is a time of indifference, against which the fragility of human life is increasingly inadequate and within which sleep has no necessity or inevitability. In relation to labor, it renders plausible, even normal, the idea of working without pause, without limits. It is aligned with what is inanimate, inert, or unageing. As an advertising exhortation it decrees the absoluteness of availability, and hence the ceaselessness of needs and their incitement, but also their perpetual non-fulfillment. The absence of restraints on consuming is not simply temporal. We are long past an era in which mainly things were accumulated. Now our bodies and identities assimilate an ever-expanding surfeit of services, images, procedures, chemicals, to a toxic and often fatal threshold. The long-term survival of the individual is always dispensable if the alternative might even indirectly admit the possibility of interludes with no shopping and its promotion. In related ways, 24/7 is inseparable from environmental catastrophe in its declaration of permanent expenditure, of endless wastefulness for its sustenance, in its terminal disruptions of the cycles and seasons on which ecological integrity depends.

As a former librarian I'm actually required to remind you that many libraries that subscribe to Libby are opted into a program that lets you subscribe and access magazines for free with no wait
And that this is actually a really fun, low cost way to not only access news and larger cultural magazines, but also to get free patterns for many different crafts that you can screenshot if need be and that lower the financial barriers to entry for trying new things
From my experience working in both academic and public libraries, many libraries are use it or lose it funding-- I have to say this because a lot of patrons feel guilty for how much they use the library and how often they're using it funny enough, but the worst thing you can do for libraries is not try out new features and not use what's already given to you as much as possible.
The numbers that come as a result of your patronage are how most libraries justify their continued existence in times of financial hardship, which sucks but, go check out some magazines on Libby!

it may interest some of you to know that there is likely an autoimmune/inflammation component of many mental illnesses that we do not fully understand yet. the immune system and the nervous system are very connected both to each other and to all our other systems in ways that, again, we do not fully understand
reminder that psychology is both a very new and also a very SOFT science. if someone in psych is confidently positing that science understands the way the brain functions and malfunctions, they don't know enough to know how little they know. we do NOT understand the brain like we act like we do.
