it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

Her framework of "enemy Xs" is in my opinion very valuable for the left, rather than claiming that regressive, authoritarian forms of various isms (whether feminism, socialism, whatever) are "not *really* Xism..." and I learned a lot from her historical-critical analysis.

11. @reproutopia.bsky.social - Enemy Feminisms

Speaking of breaths of fresh air, Lewis' willingness to directly confront regressive, authoritarian forms of feminism (including TERFism and anti-porn feminism) without playing "no true Scotsman" is genuinely refreshing and important.

"Why don't Americans..." they do. There's brave acts happening out of sight everyday.
Why don't YOU support them when they get arrested or provide material cover for them?

The cover of NIGHT NIGHT FAWN by Jordy Rosenberg which has a black background and three tone warm lettering incorporating a silhouette of a bird

NIGHT NIGHT FAWN by @jordyrosenberg.bsky.social is not, or ought not to be, legible as the product of the familial doctrine of grieving teleologically geared toward quiescence & conciliation.

the review this gorgeous book deserves 🦌

I'm thrilled, thank you Frank

"Far from to forgive all, in this book, to understand all is precisely to entertain the loving and revolutionary imperative of non-forgiveness."

What if, furthermore, this trans survivor embarks on this project from inside their mom’s brain? massreview.org/2026/03/24/n...

What if, asks NIGHT NIGHT FAWN, a trans survivor of a sadistically anti-trans childhood deploys the force of their own queer birthright—a need for or utopian entitlement to the giving and receiving of abundant, comradely mothering—in all willful persistence against the violent harms of their mother?

Another way of stating this is that the relation between the institution (motherhood) and the many embodied labors (mothering) is dialectical. Probably the third thing yet-to-come—the as-yet-nameless thing that is neither but born of their conflict—has yet to emerge fully into the web of history...

In "This Watery Place" (2025), @riislover667.bsky.social theorizes conception, gestation, birth, and postpartum “as processes against the static image of the mother.” Far from auto-generating “motherhood,” the materiality of gestating makes a mockery of cisness, individuality, and maternal identity.

ughh solidarity Rhys! I loved Confessions so much that the moment I finished it I threw myself at the nearest person with clumsy abandon. Hope you get to read Fawn soon

Square Peg, Round Hole by Sophie Lewis

"Having read SCREAM WITH ME first, I more than once mentally thanked Lisowski in UNCANNY VALLEY GIRLS for the respect she affords [horror films] merely by refraining from jamming the square peg of horror into liberal feminism’s round hole."

The Extended Universe: How Disney Killed the Movies and Took Over the World How Disney Killed the Movies and Took Over the World

"Hang on a second, I thought IP was a system designed to protect artists and their creations!"

None of us are immune to propaganda. But if we want to understand media power we have to understand IP properly, not the fantasy version.

Read The Extended Universe, out next month!

I hear you. I wonder if, then, in my mind, the 2 aren't v distinct: the nub for me is that the "hero" turns out to be, besides & at the same time as participating in revolutionary agitation, upholding and enforcing systemic and vile oppressions. Is this almost always going to be a tiny bit the case?

Logging on, seeing that an all-too-belatedly revealed truth about César Chávez has got us all reeling and brokenheartedly tapping our "kill your heroes" sign. We know that it is our collective struggle--not any leader--that deserves reverence. But god, that sign can be hard to live by tho, can't it.

The outcome of the first Prairieland trial does not mean that resistance is impossible.

But it does mean we have to

—teach all potential defendants not to cooperate with police

—teach all potential jurors about jury nullification

—and take these steps to build redundancy and resilience:

I Wrote a Movie Review. Cops Took It From a Protester’s Home to Make the Case That He’s a Terrorist. Prosecutors used a copy of a horror movie review I wrote seven years ago to say that antifa protesters against ICE are terrorists.

The Trump administration turned a 7 year old movie review into an allegation of “antifa” motives in the Prairieland protest case.

It was and is surreal!! It is unthinkable that the guilty verdict has come from
