The Politics of Rediscovery | Los Angeles Review of Books By always relegating work by women artists to the zone of the neglected or forgotten, we risk only understanding them in this way.

"the language in which rediscovery is couched is often about reorienting the individual artist, assimilating her into the canon of greatness, rather than actually dismantling the structures of power that have led to such women being ignored in the first place."

The “migrant facility” at Guantanamo Bay will be a concentration camp. If you need a Jewish person to say it, that’s a concentration camp.

A paperback copy of Laura van Dernoot Lipsky's book, "Trauma Stewardship: An Evertday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others" and a folded pair of glasses sit atop a pandanus leaf mat.

One of my best friends recommended this book to me awhile back, but I never fully finished reading it.

Excerpt from Meta's Hateful Conduct policy reading "We do allow content arguing for gender-based limitations of military, law enforcement, and teaching jobs. We also allow the same content based on sexual orientation, when the content is based on religious beliefs."

Excerpt from Meta's Hateful Conduct policy, in an item on social exclusion, reading "except for sex or gender-based exclusion from spaces commonly limited by sex or gender, such as restrooms, sports and sports leagues, health and support groups, and specific schools."

Excerpt from Meta's Hateful Conduct policy that reads "We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like 'weird'."

I've seen so many posts about meta's updated policy on hateful conduct that I finally took a look for myself and... this is SO deeply concerning

Grew up on the water, and can't read/watch a lot of popular fictional media about pirates b/c they usually have a lot of details that don't make sense. This is such a good thread (long but worth the read!)
