There's a point where the Matrix stops being a metaphor for trans existence, and becomes just a literal description.

Yes but then again: Jim Crow was a minstrel character, California was named for a mythical island in a hit book, Lenin took the title of his breakthrough pamphlet from a polyamorous romance novel, and the American revolutionaries couldn’t stop quoting and stealing lines from a 1713 play about Cato

Every time I wear a baseball hat I walk around like “look at me I’m butch now” and everybody appeases me bc it’s easier.

The infamous "loss" webcomic, usually depicting someone bursting into a hospital and working his way through. The characters have been replaced by the "reverse bimbo" meme girl, going from more "ordinary" to more sexualized as she movez

Like unless you’re a scholar there’s no need to have a perfect working understanding of every detail of every page. Fuck around, see what’s going on.Does it keep your interest?Can you identify and apply the central argument?Sick keep going. If not jump to whatever is interesting.

In my personal opinion the best way to read theory is to not treat it like a novel but super sporadically, jumping from one text to another as your interest grows. It’s easier to get a taste for style and thought when you’re not anxiously staring down 400 pages.

A new, oversized hardcover book by Jake Berman, The Lost Subways of North America: A Cartographic Guide to the Past, Present, and What Might Have Been. The cover is black, and it shows colored subway lines like on a typical map.

A map of Los Angeles labeled “Pacific Electric Railway System,” showing the extent of that system across the region.

A map labeled “Dallas Steetcars” that shows the various routes the cars once took.

Two maps of a proposed, never built, rail loop that was considered for downtown Chicago in the 1980s.

Oh, is this book cool. Full of gorgeous newly drawn maps of transit systems that were destroyed and ones that were imagined by haven’t been built, like a dream book for a different, better urban life. (Your city is probably in here.) At bookstores everywhere next month.

Since I’m branding myself as a poet on here have a poem and a selfie for higher engagement.
