ah two of my faves, what a treat!!! my fav things I’ve read this year are def enemy feminisms, the politics of emotional life, and everything for everyone: an oral history of the New York commune 2052-2072 (also the main subjects of my lectures/conversations/monologues over the last six months)

Love this! I wrote about Noem with Lewis’s enemy feminisms framing, may be of interest: blindfieldjournal.com/2025/06/04/n...

Spring Hill Prison lockdown ends after inmates start riot, light fires A group of 11 prisoners refused to leave the exercise yard and lit fires at Spring Hill Corrections Facility.

So called "prison riots" are a last resort protest against intolerable, inhumane conditions. We need an investigation and full transparency around what prompted this. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Experimental philosophy

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.

'Turning women's wages into a political piggy bank'

Week in Review:
Humour mixed with anger at the first day of a 'people's select committee' on the Government's controversial pay equity changes.

I hope some of you actually take some joy in these pathetic images of this ridiculous and now boring military parade. It's a fiasco and everyone gets to point and laugh. More hard days ahead but for today enjoy.

Not Our Sister: Kristi Noem as an Enemy Feminist? By Peyton Bond This piece gestated as a review of Sophie Lewis’s Enemy Feminisms, though I see now it has become something a little different. The book so struck me that I quickly joined the dialog…

I used Sophie Lewis’s ‘enemy feminisms’ framing to try to situate her in line with other historical fascist women here (with the help of some of your writing, love your work): blindfieldjournal.com/2025/06/04/n...

Those concerned about violence might want to start with violence against immigrants, by ICE here, by illegal deportations to gulags and third countries, the violence against so many federal departments, against the law, the climate, the public lands, waters, civil rights, reproductive rights...

Every time they say “we can’t afford that,” remember: they could afford armored tanks, a dictators birthday parade, and enough tear gas to choke a city. They just don’t want you fed, safe, or alive.

newsrooms of the world did u know that when Rümeysa Öztürk gets out you can pay her to write an editorial, and then publish it? did u know that if all of you did this it would be a whole thing and a good one

Oh this makes me cry

Coloured screen shot: A close-up image of a brown kiwi bird standing on a dark green background. The kiwi faces forward with its long beak pointing directly at the camera, its small eyes wide open, and its feathers appearing soft and fluffy.

The Week That Was:

Under urgency, Govt rushed bills that kill kiwi, silence pay equity claims, & punish striking workers. A war on wāhine, workers, & wildlife all in one week. Meanwhile, developers laugh all the way to the bank

Hika mā!

Voting rights don't stop at the prison gate

Rights are not privileges – they are rights. And history shows that when they are taken away, they are not easily restored.

Why I’ve told my principal I will not teach the new proposed English curriculum 'If the ministry is unable to provide us with something fit for purpose, it is not my job to compound the harm it will cause to my students, but to protect them from it.'...

Prisoner voting ban a call made in the absence of politics

From Auckland University - Opinion: Stripping thousands of people of the right to vote shows the Crown never believed in sacred democratic principles to begin with.

‘I do not care’: PM dismisses human rights concerns over prisoner voting ban The Government is banning all prisoners from being able to vote, despite criticism from the courts.

People Against Prisons Aotearoa spokesperson and UoA criminologist Dr Emmy Rākete said the total voting ban was an “attack on democratic principles”.

“The Supreme Court has already ruled that banning prisoners from voting is unlawful. The Government is spitting on the rule of law,” she said. #nzpol

She wrote an article in the student newspaper. That’s all she did. The U.S. can’t call itself a free country if that gets you sent to jail.

This right here. Spreading "perfect victim" or "innocence" narratives is dangerous and cedes ground on the fact that *all* people deserve dignity, humane treatment, and access to due process. Feeding into perfect victim or innocence narratives isn't just irresponsible messaging, it is copaganda.

and, as @interruptcrim.bsky.social says, defunding is the basement floor - abolition is the sky we are reaching for
