I never worry about anything and everything always goes wrong

[Parul Sehgal @parul_sehgal]

Pelicot writes not as victim or survivor but as the site of the crime. It's unlike anything I've read. But the book's formal challenges + peculiarities have scarcely been engaged--

who would have thought that in order to rein in cost blowout to one of australia's shitty fake little state-funded marketised voucher systems of social care, you would have to re-nationalise all or part of that system... who would have thought this....

JCO reminds me the most fun part of being a feminist is getting to be a bitch about things

[wow @rather_normal]

Sometimes I feel like such a dour feminist when I’m reading - I get frustrated with myself that I can’t put it aside to enjoy a work of art on its own. Reading Stoner I felt a little haunted by the wife and daughters interior perspective, completely hidden from view

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

memorable portrayal of a time not so long ago in the US when Philip Wylie's "Generation of Vipers" was a part of the Zeitgeist. men didn't obliquely hint that women were the cause of their own failures & women were just plain evil; in those days they came out clearly & unambiguously to state it, restate it, & restate it. this perspective, embedded in "Stoner" like a fossil in a rock.

Finally, some good old fashioned feminist writing!!!!

[wow @rather_normal]

Bri actually interviews a lot of smart people who make a compelling case that “having children” and “climate change” don’t really have much to do with one another. But mostly we hear from a suicidal South African professor

[wow @rather_normal]

Hand wringing in the ABC about whether it’s ok to have children in the context of climate change - gives an excruciating amount of air time to the viewpoint “if YOU, personally, like being alive, have you considered it’s only your various privileges that make you think that way?”

@stillreezy I like reading court judgments and coroners reports. Very much looks like doing work

Crimes the met police CAN'T solve:
-93% of tool thefts
-90% of car thefts
-82% of burglaries
-54% of all crimes
-52% of cases where someone shot an officer of the metropolitan police.

Crimes the met police CAN solve:
The words "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action"

@maximumwelfare One of my favourite bits is asking “is this thirsty merc??” when a song is playing in public. Finally a discourse for Me

@CindyCalysm Lib friend tried to tell me that if Palestine was a state then Israel couldn’t attack it under international law. Something Israel famously loves to respect 🤨
