my feminism has limits because unfortunately I do really like media that is an earnest portrayal of male friendship. it’s disgusting I know

it was obvious charli and lorde were going to make that thing cute like that they are both sweetpeas

#I love calling things sweetpea I couldn’t imagine lorde being super angry about it #moth.txt

does anyone have a book recommendation from a critical perspective about the concept of terrorism? by critical I mean someone aware of its political element and its definition being tied to excusing those with significant power (eg the state). I’d love to know about the usages of the word across time, the intricacies of the legal definition and its hypocrisies. potentially also the hypocrisy in distinguishing between political violence you like and political violence you don’t, eg mandela being a terrorist of his time but now he has been rehabilitated in the western imagination (whereas someone like castro has not been). or the suffragettes and how they were viewed at the time versus now where their violence has sort of been obscured. though I’m now talking about numerous books but I’m sure something like this must exist right

at this point it seems like everyone on ariana grande’s team must fucking hate her and also they must hate women so much

#I’m not saying people should be able to control her but this is becoming insane #and it sort of feels like it’s taking the piss. does no one close to her care #moth.txt

she added a note about one of her claims though. I thought 6x stronger sounded like a bit much lol. to be clear though the video isn’t particularly about sex differences it’s about misconceptions about what paleolithic women were up to (and by extension paleolithic humans in general)

#persistence hunting is controversial apparently too and there’s lots of examples of #other kinds of hunting being popular eg traps and ambush hunting #but many of those activities were also not exclusive of women #anthropology #feminism #moth.txt

I like sav brown fine but I do find it incredibly depressing that women with good instincts can’t even be relied upon anymore to name what something is. maybe not the male gaze which is a film studies term I believe, but this phenomenon has been written of elsewhere and ‘eroticism’ doesn’t exist separately from power relations. it’s like a bog standard feminist observation about female self-surveillance under patriarchy…

also it’s accurate to talk of the self-surveillance inspired by abrahamic religions but that is also an aspect of the patriarchy and class control. organised religion, of all things, does not exist outside of political and social reality either! I’m in a bit of despair at how the current culture seems to cause otherwise very intelligent women to reject any form of self-criticism of their own practices and ideas. people are obsessed with ideas of identity and personality type, ‘personal development’ and growth, but there is so much effort put towards always being 100% fine with everything you ever choose to do, to never consider how those choices are conditioned or constrained, to never turn the critical eye inwards. anyways this isn’t really about this one person, it just made me think how depressing it all is. and now I need to go out and take a walk.

Family members said the author of the landmark comic book memoir ‘died of sadness’ after the death of her husband last year

rest in peace marjane satrapi ♥️

#it seems she died of a broken heart )):#marjane satrapi #articles #moth.txt

a strategy against getting lost in algorithms or infinite scrolls is to start a list of ‘things I want to check out during breaks’, eg longer-form videos you have seen, articles you have come across and not read yet, even albums you want to slowly chip away at, etc. it could be anything

and when you come to take a break in your work day, or just relax on an evening and want to stop being bombarded with random stimuli, just pick up your list of things to look at and decide which one seems good. it doesn’t have to be complicated or taxing, whatever fits your current state. the idea is just to avoid the time-waster that is looking for things to do or getting stuck on doing a bunch of short things in quick succession that disturb your sense of peace/makes your brain short-circuit

a lot of debates I see between radical feminists online, or disagreements, are not even really disagreements, they’re just the expected fallout when one person is tackling an issue from a pragmatic point of view, and one is tackling it from a theoretical point of view

take an interesting discussion I saw between two radical-leaning women, one of them was saying she would like to share radical feminist ideas and writing with her socialist friends, but many of them would reject it as soon as they find out there’s some association with ‘terfism’. the other woman was arguing that that is simply their own issue and they clearly need to unpack the liberal ideology present in gender identity theory and allow themselves to think critically. the initial woman then says okay, but most people are discouraged from thinking critically, so now what?

anyway that itself is an interesting discussion about a carrot versus the stick approach to getting people to engage with feminist theory but I won’t keep on with it. I do think feminists could benefit from becoming a little more pragmatic though

the police obviously really fucked up with henry nowak because most of them are incompetent and can’t even explore the most basic claims being made at the scene of a crime. but the idea anyone is being fooled into thinking the police are operating a system of policing in favour of minorities and immigrants and against white british people is crazy……… this was an extraordinarily fringe case based on all its characteristics

#nowak does not scream a very british surname but I’m simplifying bc #that is what these people are sincerely arguing #I fear for people disrupted by the violent protests but it is difficult to be mad about the worst two people you know #fighting it out…#moth.txt

I wouldn’t say the trans movement is divided on the sex industry bc the movement is very western-directed and liberal, but politicised trans people are very divided on it and it falls neatly along class lines just as you’d expect. more affluent trans people from the global north generally do not give a damn about trafficked trans people from poor countries. I am 100% serious when I say trans people in countries where they face considerable threat from the existence of the industry would be better off divesting from these people and partnering with feminists in this goal but of course that is not going to happen bc they’re too opposed on identity stuff!

but I hope these clear class divisions at least make pro-sex work liberals who want to give a damn about other people pause for thought and consider whether the aims of being pro this industry are compatible with their ostensibly pro-trans politics. whatever brings people to see the light on this issue awomen 🙏

the way micarah tewers sewing youtuber was almost killed by medical misogyny when she went to the emergency room in agonising pain and they decided she was probably drug-seeking, waited an hour before giving her anything, gave her a painkiller (morphine) that she told them doesn’t work well for her (it didn’t work and she began throwing up as a result) and refused to offer her the one she said has worked for her in the past (she was screaming and couldn’t walk), then they gave her an antihistamine(????), then gave her a fucking antipsychotic(!!!!), before finally taking her to get a CT scan and realising she needed emergency surgery for a hard mass stuck in her intestine. only then did they ease her pain because she went under. it was the day before her wedding was scheduled too. and she said she was usually hesitant to go to the hospital because she worries about doctors thinking she’s faking symptoms but knew she had to go this time because it was unbearable )):

people are literally so evil I’m sorry I don’t think I’d ever be able to forgive the medical staff for putting me through something like that

people understand the concept of stolen land irt colonial capture and mass displacement but people rarely move from this idea to its next conclusion: almost everywhere is stolen land. you in your ex-coloniser country are also likely standing on land that people who had previously enjoyed right of habitation on were violently displaced from by ruling classes (classes bc what groups of people were responsible varies country by country). in england this displacement, called the enclosure movement, led to mass starvation of the now landless population who previously could farm on common lands or on pockets of land belonging to the nobility. it acted as the blueprint for overseas colonial privatisation of land and natural resources and the ensuing displacement (if not for the direct murder). you are also standing on land that was stolen from common people

india and ireland are good examples of this kind of privatisation that didn’t feature as much direct settlement on the land by the british (which we can contrast with cases that did, eg north america, but privatisation of land looked very different there for many reasons). much like in england the british destroyed the traditional ways of life of people who had previously had rights to subsist from the land. in ireland peasants only occupied less favourable land and had to farm the one thing that would grow well, potatoes. in india access to common forests and water sources that could act as backup food for years when famine hit were privatised. in ireland the potato blight hit and unable to access other sources of food 1 million people died. in india two droughts about ten years apart caused famines. many people usually weathered those because they had access to different sources of food, but now those had been stolen. between both of these famines I think about 30 million people died. and in both india and ireland these cases of mass starvation happened whilst the british were producing a surplus of food in these countries and shipping them overseas for sale on european markets

#inspired by me remembering wild camping is illegal in so many places bc the land is owned by whoever #like they really destroyed people’s ability to have access to and experience the land…#things so many used to believe would always be the case I guess #displacement #land privatisation #moth.txt
