basic glitch

like “old white racist, once credited and acclaimed for a woman’s work, has died at 97” isn’t as compelling of a headline but it is more accurate

Rosalind Franklin and the damage of gender harassment Spurred by a recent report on sexual harassment in academia, our columnist revisits a historical case and reflects on what has changed—and what hasn’t

James Watson, der "Entdecker" der DNA, ist verstorben.

Ein guter Anlass, um auf die Geschichte von Rosalin Franklin und auf den Matilda Effekt aufmerksam zu machen.

4 frame comic. 1st frame shows a frame from the ai video of trump dumping shit from a plane. Text reads : here's why i think ai art is The quintessential aesthetic of fascism. 2nd frame shows a frame from the trump Gaza ai video. Text reads : Its the closest that oligarchs can get to artists' power to create universes out of thin air. 3rd frame shows ai picture of trump as a pope. Text reads : they see art as a threat because it questions and deciphers the myths, dogmas, lies and illusions that fascism is built upon. 4th frame shows a frame from ai video of mysk dancing with trump. Text reads : ai art being soulless, depthless and uncritical is a feature... not a bug.

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People “What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social get a load of this! (It ties into my deeper thoughts about how vampire trends match economic downturns but that’s too scary for a Sunday night.)

Doris Payne aka Diamond Doris.

She already has an autobiography and a documentary. Now her story is being adapted for a forthcoming Codeblack Film starring Tessa Thompson. 💎🎬👑

Can't wait. Her life is cinematic and she has finesse.

Ten years ago, Misty Copeland became the first Black woman principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre, marking her place in history. Tonight, the dancer who used her platform to advocate for diversity will dance for ABT one last time. bit.ly/4nbjv6d #mistycopeland

Passing is not the goal of every trans woman and does not need to be the goal of every trans woman

soso der vergewaltigungsfan und enkel eines glühenden nationalsozialisten rechtfertigt seinen rassismus mit den verweis töchter schützen zu wollen

Unsere Existenzen wurden politisiert, damit ist unsere offene Lebensfreude politisch.
Drag, Glamour und Glitzer gehören zu einem CSD genauso wie politische Forderungen, Redebeiträge und Proteste.

Queer Culture darf niemals verstummen, auch nicht in schwierigen Zeiten.

Die Menschen, von denen #Merz spricht, posten hier kaum, werden nicht gebeten, Artikeln zu schreiben, werden nicht interviewt – es ist an uns, ihre Geschichten zu finden & ihre Stimmen lauter zu machen. Sie müssen keine Ärzt*innen oder Reinigungskräfte sein, um unsere Solidarität zu verdienen

Ich kann mich nur wiederholen:

Wer sexualisierte und geschlechtsbezogene Gewalt in Zusammenhang mit Migration stellt, will nicht geschlechtsbezogene Gewalt verhindern, sondern Rassismus schüren.

Au­to­r*in zur Stadtbild-Debatte: Der böse Traum vom gereinigten Deutschland Woran will Bundeskanzler Merz eigentlich das irregulär Migrantische erkennen? Seine Äußerungen zum deutschen Stadtbild sind menschenverachtend.

"Wovon auch immer Merz so tief ergriffen war, als er in der Münchner Synagoge Tränen über das Leid jüdischer Menschen in Deutschland vergoss, eines muss klar sein: Wenn er die Straßen und Plätze dieses Landes von migrantischem Leben reinigen will, dann reinigt er meines mit."

Ich hab übrigens in der letzten Woche eine Patientenverfügung und meine wünsche für meine Beerdigung bzw für die Bestattung generell aufgeschrieben.

Ein ganz lieben Gruß geht dabei an @thanatos.bsky.social, dessen content mich seit Jahren immer wieder daran erinnert und auch inspiriert hat.

As promised, if you’re inspired by the march today but don’t know how else to get involved, how to sustainably fight fascism, that can look a few different ways. Here’s a thread of thoughts, short of nationwide withholding of labor / sustained protest:

remembering fondly the absolute fury of a David Attenborough thread on a forum, that had his name and date of birth to that year's year as the title, and then the first post was like "these are the years he's lived so far"

YOU NEED TO START OFF POSTS LIKE THIS BY SAYING THE PERSON IS ALIVE AND OK

Markey wears a trans pride flag draped over his shoulders. The closed caption reads "trans people because trans righs are human rights. We" The chiron underneath reads "No Kings Rally Underway In Boston"

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

i love the word theorem. it’s like a theory but gayer

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

ridicule is an extremely effective protest tactic and foil for authoritarianism

You know what I like is that we're taking frogs back.
