"Women, Life, Freedom” against the War Genocidal imperialist projects will never liberate us, nor will patriarchal nationalist regimes protect us. A statement from Iranian, Kurdish, and Afghani feminists.

This statement by Iranian, Kurdish, and Afghani feminists argues that we must oppose the US and Israeli assault on Iran while also refusing to endorse the repressive Iranian government.

Genocidal imperialist projects will never liberate us, nor will patriarchal nationalist regimes protect us.

Well fuck

Wowser

A black and white illustration of a pregnant woman sitting on a chair. Another woman is supporting her from behind, while a second woman is sitting in front of her, ready to help deliver the baby.

For centuries, a “gossip” was a woman who attended another woman's delivery. The word was a corruption of “god-sib” or “god-sibling,” meaning “sister in the Lord.” The gossips offered support to mother and midwife. Only later did the term take on a derogatory meaning.

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while:

Disability, Eugenics, and the Value of Human Life The eugenicists Your worth is not tied to what you can do. Your worth is not tied to your health. Your worth is not tied to all the things you can do...

if you're in the mood to read a strong affirmation about the worth of disabled lives in the face of a eugenicist administration.... so was i, so i wrote one: buttondown.com/theswordandt...

Amazing

A pocket watch shaped like a skull with engravings of skeletons. The skull opens to reveal a clock inside.

This 17th-century watch is a "memento mori," a reminder of the shortness of life. The inscription roughly translates: "Thus passes wordly glory remember your end." It was sold by Christies in 2017 for £12.5K.

Part of McGinnis's illustration for The Odd Couple, depicting Walter Matthau climbed in an armchair with his feet on a coffee table. His legs have at least an extra femur's worth of length proportionate to his body.

Cover for a Hard Case Crime novel called Little Girl Lost. The McGinnis illustration shows a sexy dame perched on a brick wall, with one (normal) leg and one weirdly long leg with a gigantic elongated foot, the whole looking like she's had some kind of HR Geiger designed oar surgically attached to her pelvis.

Robert McGinnis, who has just died, was a genius and I own a book of his art, so I'm saying this fondly, but he did sometimes do strange things with the human leg

Still one of my favourite articles I go back to

Hell yeah

Known as Lord of the Dance, Rudolf Nureyev was one of the 20th century’s best-known figures in ballet. He was also an avid collector of fine carpets & tapestries. His gravestone in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, France, resembles a lavish oriental carpet made of thousands of mosaic tiles.

Kneecap holding the head of a king George statue beheaded in Melbourne by protesters

Guardian article with the headline: Statue of King George V beheaded in Melbourne on King’s birthday holiday

Love that someone brought the severed head of King George to the Kneecap gig in Naarm.

Of all the possible scenarios related to the attacks, this I did not consider
