Library socialism 

" Library Socialism is connected to several strains in radical thought, like usufruct -- the idea that property could be held in common, but that individuals could assume control over them as needed and enjoy both their use and the use of the fruits of the property, but on condition that they not destroy the property and that they return it when they're done with it.

Also connected is "the irreducible minimum": the commitment by a society to ensure that every person who lives in it must have the basics for happy, fulfilled life, regardless of their status.

Finally, there is "complementarity," the idea that the world can be improved by combining the things we find in it -- just as different metals can make alloys that are stronger than the sum of their parts, the right combinations of our selves and our work can be more than any one of us can accomplish on our own."

A message from Leonard Peltier, an indigenous activist who was framed for murder in 1975 and jailed; his next scheduled parole hearing will be in July 2024, when Peltier will be 79:

"For those of you who are thankful that you have enough food to feed your families, please give to those who aren’t as fortunate. If you are warm and have a comfortable shelter to live in, please give to those who are cold and homeless, if you see someone hurting and in need of a kind word or two, be that person who steps forward and lends a hand. And especially, when you see injustice anywhere, please be brave enough to speak up to confront it. I want to thank all who are kind enough to remember me and my family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for continuing to support and believe in me. There isn’t a minute in any day that passes without me hoping that this will be the day I will be granted freedom. I long for the day when I can smell clean fresh air, when I can feel a gentle breeze in my hair, witness the clouds as their movement hides the sun and when the moon shines the light on the path to the sacred Inipi. That would truly be a day I could call a day of Thanksgiving."

nb erasure gripe 

I kinda feel like anything like “the two genders”, “ladies and gentlemen”, “he or she”, etc is becoming more and more of a cognitohazard to me, somehow

it’s more and more uncomfortable and jarring and infuriating

I wish I could chill a bit maybe but at the same time no, fuck this

Thanksgiving PSA 

And to be clear the other side is bad too

I've had so many partners & friends not invite me to things bc they've determined the environment isn't one I'd like

But only I know that

You can invite us to things, you don't have to exclude us to be respectful

Just keep us informed

Thanksgiving PSA 

If someone trans or even cis queer invites me somewhere I assume that place is safe for me

If I know better it's socially difficult for me to explain my concerns

Be upfront; let us decide our own safety needs and make it easy for us to make a decision based on them

Thanksgiving PSA 

Please don't invite trans folks to your trans unfriendly family spaces without warning

Please don't invite any marginalized folks into spaces unfriendly to them without telling them that is the case

This holds for anytime of year to be honest, but especially today where folks invite us to spaces bc we don't have family... But to be blunt being around your trans missic family isn't better than being near ours and def not better than being alone
