the concept of due process becomes real muddled when the state can snatch you from being a legal observer, or from attending a music festival, or for providing mutual aid, charge you with terrorism, & leave you in legal limbo for 2 years. which is what’s happening to 61 people in the Cop City RICO!

A snippet from a Sinner review that reads: “Among the film’s welter of ideas is that cultural cross-fertilization equals appropriation or theft — that Blues music would have remained “pure,” if not for those evil white spirits, as represented here by, yes, Irish-Celtic folk music, whose artists stole the Blues from Black People for purely selfish ends.”

One of the worst analyses of Sinners I’ve read—completely missing how the film explores Irish colonization, forced assimilation into Western whiteness, & the Irish vampires’ attempt at appropriation as trying to find lost cultural connection. Vampirism was a symbol for whiteness, not white people.

Hasan Piker was detained by ICE and chose to talk to cops instead of shutting the fuck up.

Why Disability Studies Scholars Are Protesting a Prominent Textbook A group of authors see problems not just with this edition of the reader, but with previous editions as well.

I don’t have a lot of capacity to deal with this but I just found out the sixth edition of the Disability Studies Reader is out. Four years ago a bunch of disability studies scholars, activists & artists protested our inclusion in this textbook.

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!
