Sophie Lewis

They also offer a lot of insight about what liberatory feminism *doesn't* look like, informed by research from Lewis's newest book 'Enemy Feminisms,' out from @haymarketbooks.org

Leaning In to State Violence - Sophie Lewis interviewed by Aya Gruber - Inquest In ‘Enemy Feminisms,’ philosopher Sophie Lewis engages with the feminism of racists, colonizers, fascists, cops, and jailers to better understand what a truly liberatory politics needs to look like.

"When feminist struggles enter phases of rapprochement with the state, they throw Indigenous, 'deviant,' Black, sexualized, sex-working women and other gender minorities under the bus." @reproutopia.bsky.social talks with Aya Gruber about truly abolitionist feminism.

Was really good to revisit it alongside you, Helen, and I'll not soon forget your sparkles ✨

A cardboard bankers box sitting on top of an office chair filled with assorted odds and ends as I cleaned out my desk

I need some help. Got laid-off on Friday: unannounced budget change + my position was first cut, so it was a total surprise. Thanks to a tax status loophole my employer manipulated, I cant get unemployment. In short im SOL

Anything you can give would be huge

Ohio SB 1 banned DEI, forced closure of Ohio universities' cultural centers, cut degrees in Africana studies, Asian studies, disability studies, and gender studies as well as philosophy, geography, and music; and forces faculty to publicly post syllabi. What novelist supports these things?

I think that maybe, before or during reading and according attention to Michael Clune's novel, comrades might want to check out his January 29, 2025 testimony on Ohio Senate Bill 1 (tweeted/brought to our attention earlier this year by @sarahbrouillette.bsky.social) cc: @patblanchfield.bsky.social

I am grateful to Ezra Klein for demonstrating over and over how liberals got us here. The constant appeal to the right by throwing away both principles and the most marginalized. Constantly coming around to an issue too late & only after you’ve helped destroy actual opposition. He’s a case study.

Love is contraband in Hell,
cause love is an acid
that eats away bars.

But you, me, and tomorrow
hold hands and make vows
that struggle will multiply.

Rest in power Assata

Next month! With @reproutopia.bsky.social

I've seen a lot of people misunderstanding what this does and does not mean and Melissa does a great job explaining it's first and foremost a media strategy. Importantly, none of this is new and has been used against other groups and activists (Muslims/Palestinians, BLM, immigrants)

At least 43 outlets shared anti-trans misinfo after Charlie Kirk shooting: TJA | Xtra Magazine A report from the Trans Journalists Association found that 43 outlets published misinformation about “transgender ideology” after Charlie Kirk’s killing

Research conducted by @transjournalists.org “identified 43 outlets including the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic and The Daily Beast running with the disproven stories of a ‘trans shooter’ and ‘trans bullets.’”

The modus operandi is always to sprinkle legitimately valuable voices amid the genocide apologism isn't it 😩

Meanwhile, this is their Opinion section today. Benny Gantz for eternal genocide-as-usual, and Thomas Friedman for "democracy". What a joke

we have to figure out how to act like we are all each other’s makers—because, inevitably, we are

The thing my book will do that i think is genuinely different from the histories of Disney is argue that Walt's obsession with IP and technology is of a piece with his politics and his aesthetics: that IP management is a form of propertarian cultural domination in line with whiteness and patriarchy

#TOBLSPA

stop throwing yourself wantonly into the moshpit everybody, my wife says it's the end of DBS (Dumb Bitch Summer) and the beginning of TOBLSPA (Taking Our Bodies' Limitations Seriously and Proactively Autumn)

This thread was about Shymaa. It turned out she was shot by a quadcopter, and she may lose her leg. Im so so scared for her and her baby, I really need yall to support her if you can

While I got my knuckles rapped by corporate America for being rude and tasteless about a guy who dreamed of the stoning of me and everyone I love, Fox's Brian Kilmeade advocated explicitly for the state murder of all homeless people -- on live TV, no less -- to virtually no response.

this always made me giggle too!

working my way through ENEMY FEMINISMS by @reproutopia.bsky.social and can’t help but laugh that one of the shittiest “feminist” orgs ever was called Women Against Pornography (WAP)

Eat sh*t RFK

This is utterly ridiculous. Karen wrote multiple threads over the last few days condemning gun violence and political violence. She wrote one post about Kirk directly and that was only quoting him. She’s an opinion writer. She did her job.

That Wild “Wired” Article Is Not a Case Against Surrogacy It’s a horror story about Silicon Valley, and an extreme example of what happens when we conceive of children as property.

It's too easy to hear the story of Cindy Bi suing her surrogate for murder & infer that what we need to get rid of is surrogacy (rather than the way parenthood is organized under capitalism).
So many ppl sent me the Wired article that I ended up writing my response: www.thenation.com/article/soci...
