« the women of the Tucson Feminist Media Collective showed their constellation their summer heatwave by recording themselves frying an egg on the sidewalk, much to the chagrin of a local policeman. »

« International Videoletters was conceived by American, Canadian, and Australian feminist media workers at the New York conference as a solution to feminist communities' feelings of isolation. The feminist press reported factual details of protests and events, but it provided neither the immediacy nor the intimacy feminists craved. Film and video could provide audiences with a more sensory experience of other communities' activities, and, as conference participants with experience working in video production and public access television pointed out, video was quick, easy, and cheap, meaning it could do so with an immediacy that film could not. » it's only gotten quicker, easier, and cheaper (hint, hint)

@coriander really though the E is extremely important to the pronunciation lol

@coriander unfortunately the meaning of were-man has shifted but i think the pronoun thing could work

@noelle you might hold some non-neo liberal feminist positions but i generally don't have a beef with them :P

i'm just easily annoyed by the Sheryl Sandberg “Lean In” types who conflate some women's financial success as businesswomen with an actual ideal feminist future, ignoring all the poor women who will never have access to that future (poor women do not count to neoliberals because they are not sufficient consumers)

again, i am not at all concerned that you might hold these beliefs :P

@noelle when i say "neoliberal" i pretty much mean "equates market value with actual value" which i know for a fact you don't do

is there a neoliberal feminist on our FTL

@coriander i think we should use he-man for all masculine people and reclaim man as gender unspecified

my posts are not formatted for passive consumption

a number of people have followed me in the past week but they generally don't like my posts

it's okay; i understand; they're an acquired taste—but also: lmao

the opinion of many Americans, whether they are fascists, climate activists, leftists, or antiracists, is that the US Government does not currently have the capacity to enact that alternate future

responses to this vary, but of course the fascists respond with fascism

it is unsurprising that people who work in media would place an outsized importance on the role of rhetoric, but our current crisis is not the result of savvy Republicans using strong language to get votes, but the fact that many Americans do not see a future for themselves in this country, and some segment of them believe that through fascism that state of affairs can be changed

you have to do the work of building for them an alternate future if you want them to take a different stance. simply negating their current position is not enough
