Hey all! Mai's family needs urgent help keeping her mother alive after her surgery. She's in the ICU receiving life-saving care but this care comes at a cost. The medical system in Ghazzah has collapsed and the cost of care has skyrocketed to prices that cannot normally be afforded in the strip without outside help. Please if you can, send help to Mai's family.

Every single dollar counts!!

Facebook’s promise to “bring the world closer together” and Twitter’s self-mythology as a “global town square” are marketing exercises that borrow democratic prestige to dignify websites concerned with generating revenue and directing the herd. When Facebook built a tool that it suggested employers could use to suppress labor organizing content, or deployed algorithms that systematically steered vulnerable users toward extreme content, or promoted content that helped to spur the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar, the platform was performing as expected. When Elon Musk started visibly boosting ideological allies (read: amateur phrenologists and spurned lovers of apartheid), apparently suppressing enemies, and seemingly adjusting algorithms by whim, he was not corrupting some neutral edifice. He made the governance question legible to people who’d preferred not to see it. The landlord had always been there.

It is not possible to thoroughly analyze and make sense of cis-ness without attention to the ways in which it was birthed out of the racist and capitalist colonization, enslavement, and genocide of Black and Indigenous Peoples and is simultaneously perpetuated through anti-Black racism. Not only was this evident in cis-het men participants’ ranking the photo of a White, cis-passing trans woman as more desirable than photos of other women, but it was also evident in how they spoke of the range of women presented in the photos with the White, “cis-passing” woman being viewed as warm, kind, non-threatening, and nurturing in comparison to photos of more “visibly trans” women of color which were described with harsher features, such as “sharp” facial structure, strong, mean, and “ratchet.” Race, class, and gender intersected in how women were viewed not only in terms of desire but also in terms of “passability.” The racialization of “passing” as cisgender elucidates, in part, why trans women of color may be more vulnerable to being seen as trans and thus targeted for anti-trans violence.

Western ontologies of “body reasoning” remain prevalent shaping the ways in which individuals are interpreted in society. When individual’s interpretations of other’s bodies do not line up with preconceived notions of sex/gender, they are left without the cultural tools to make sense of the individual in front of them resulting in panic, confusion, and violence. The body and the symbols that attach value to some bodies and not to others are central to cis-ness. Trans bodies are excess or surplus to the binary logic of cis-ness, and, thus, they are not only undesirable but unnecessary. It is this lack of value attached to trans bodies and trans people that allowed many participants to justify, understand, and/or make sense out of the murders of Black trans women.”]

Below is a screenshot of a transcribed exchange between RuPaul and Judge Judy. It says:

RUPAUL: Am I saying it right? Geshikhte? I have an app that gives me a Yiddish word of the day.

JUDGE JUDY: Incorporating Judaism into your personality is maybe something you don't need.
