« For Atkinson and other "political lesbians," lesbian potentiality was a generic potentiality. It did not precipitate from the lived experiences and knowledges of lesbians in the present. Such a radical feminist approach to lesbian existence becomes a temporal problem, the lesbian existing almost outside of time itself and therefore not truly existing as anything more than a concept. » this is a valid critique although i question the insinuation that there were no political lesbians who were also lived-experience lesbians

quit with the playful “we both know better”-ism; you can’t criticize someone for not appreciating fucking in its whole breadth and then defer on the question of how you like to fuck

« Although incredibly limited in its articulation of what produces sexual pleasure, » academics should not be allowed to write this phrase without a lengthy footnote about what unarticulated sexual pleasures they think are missing

what is “coming upside”

coming inside
coming out
coming upside
coming down

somehow we went from “feminism just means being really good friends with other women!” with a wink to “feminism just means being really good friends with other women!” with no wink

90s fashion was bad but 90s fashion on gay women was bad in a way that i want to fuck

this author is claiming that lesbianism effectively ended in the 90s as a coherent political concept but i would like to submit as a counterargument that dykes in the 90s were really fucking hot

(i’m reading a book by a young person on lesbian feminism, and realizing that my feelings on the subject might actually be part of a Pattern of young female-and-female-adjacent queer studies majors looking to the 70s and 80s with interest instead of dismissal)

young millennials and zoomers do not care about your fake queer/lesbian binary and they will make being a dyke cool again

watch out kids, lesbianism is coming back

« “Americans were playing a basic game — ‘Trump wants dirt on Biden,’” says Suriya Jayanti, chief of energy policy at the American Embassy in Kyiv at the time. “What was actually going on in Ukraine was this crazy web of shifting alliances and oligarch pockets and horse trading and back-stabbing, and in our American myopia we had limited understanding that if a tree falls in the forest and America is not there to hear it, it still falls.” » you’d think we would have learned this lesson a while ago, yet

« This week, Mr. Biden and the White House Twitter feed boasted that the president had delivered a large increase in Social Security checks to retirees this year. That increase is an adjustment for cost of living — and it is the result of prices rising faster on Mr. Biden’s watch than they have in four decades » lmao that’s one way to spin it
