One of my crows. They leave me bones.

Shout out to me and only me for ending a meeting with “I must go, my crows are here”.

It is very appalling and sometimes quite frightening to see how trans-exclusionary feminists have allied with rightwing attacks on gender. The anti-gender ideology movement is not opposing a specific account of gender, but seeking to eradicate "gender" as a concept or discourse, a field of study, an approach to social power. Sometimes they claim that "sex" alone has scientific standing, but other times they appeal to divine mandates for masculine domination and difference. They don't seem to mind contradicting themselves. The Terfs (trans exclusionary radical feminists) and the so-called gender critical writers have also rejected the important work in feminist philosophy of science showing how culture and nature interact (such as Karen Barad, Donna Haraway, EM Hammonds or Anne Fausto-Sterling) in favor of a regressive and spurious form of biological essentialism. So they will not be part of the coalition that seeks to fight the anti-gender movement. The anti-gender ideology is one of the dominant strains of fascism in our times. So the Terfs will not be part of the contemporary struggle against fascism, one that requires a coalition guided by struggles against racism, nationalism, xenophobia and carceral violence, one that is mindful of the high rates of femicide throughout the world, which include high rates of attacks on trans and genderqueer people. The anti-gender movement circulates a spectre of "gender" as a force of destruction, but they never actually read any works in gender studies. Quick and fearful conclusions take the place of considered judgments. Yes, some work on gender is difficult and not everyone can read it, so we have to do better in reaching a broader public. As important as it is, however, to make complex concepts available to a popular audience, it is equally important to encourage intellectual inquiry as part of public life. Unfortunately, we are living in anti-intellectual times, and neo-fascism is becoming more normalized.

A data analysis by @ettemedia.bsky.social shows just how insane the Australian campaign against Randa Abdel-Fattah has been.

And yes, technically he wasn’t an anti-pope and proceeded the great Schism by a hair but I do not care. All of Avignon is a travesty.

And Fournier was a true believer.

Yes, my lapsed Catholic arse still has mick hyperfixation.

One of the reasons we know so much about about the Cathar heresies is because one of the Avignon popes (Jacques Fournier) was the inquisitor of Montaillou & his insanely meticulous records went with him to Avignon after he killed it off.

Ugh, Cheetos and the Gang are starting The Maga Papal Schism because they’re all pouty about Pope Leo giving them dust.

Given the original schism is one of my top five favourite Catholic hyperfixations, I’m beyond pissed at the Magats co-opting something again.

According to Mehr News Agency, a semi-official Iranian outlet, Kamal Kharazi, a former Iranian foreign minister, was injured in what it described as an attack on residential buildings in Tehran by the United States and Israel on Wednesday. Kharazi was considered a veteran policy expert and a moderate politician and the head of Iran’s Foreign Policy Council, which sets the country’s overall foreign policy. Two Iranian officials said Kharazi had been overseeing engagement with Pakistan for a possible meeting between Iranian officials and Vice President JD Vance. The officials said the targeting of Kharazi is being viewed as an attempt to derail diplomacy.

This is the sort of gangsterism that even Genghis Khan found to be offensive, it breaks a taboo that predates the very idea of true international law.

Dude, you gots to get yourself immersed in the uxoriousness. And congratulations!

RIP Edward Said, you would have loved ChinaMaxxing.

Ok, Madam Ding Dong is just as good as when you call me Hot Bitch. Thank you.

Hey, I can help. Let’s text.

Such terrible news. Aside from his great work, I'll miss his dry wit at the state of things here very much.

@kudelka.bsky.social was a bloody good egg.

if you're wondering why your trans friends everywhere are a little on edge right now, it's because a story about a radical conservative christian student abusing rules and processes to deliberately target a trans instructor consistently gets reframed to omit the entirety of the anti-trans bigotry

"I did not hit her, I did NAHT. Oh hi Grimace!"

Gonna stop looking at the Epstein Files in a second because I'm frankly way too skeeved out to keep going but I will say this: the CSAM isn't blacked out nearly enough while the faces of guys in ties are obscured by vanta black rectangles the size of the sun.

To everyone on Bluesky finding out about Walliams and despairing at the fact that "I read those books to my kids" I just want to reassure them that it's OK. He didn't write them.
