Martha Nussbaum, “politics of disgust”
I really like this analysis of homophobia (toward men) as a fear of proximity to primary objects of disgust
She also points to similarities in antisemitic and homophobic rhetoric of Jewish ppl/gay men as “cosmopolitan,” unsanitary, transmitters of foreign contagion

This website was literally so fucking stupid. You used to be able to just fucking edit somebody’s post. Like just change it entirely. Nothing was stopping you. What the fuck. Imagine logging into your youtub account and some bozo changed your funny comment to say you love being a dummy. That’s what used to happen here. Every single day.
It was the fucking best
but mom how will other people know that you, a white Texan, are a Christian
Jesus
I bet those two are couple now..

This is such a great story

In 2020, looks like the infamous Keystone XL pipeline is finally going to be built. The pipeline will pass near many Native communities and reservation lands in western South Dakota, and a portion of the pipeline will be built under the longest undammed river in the contiguous United States. The portion of the pipeline which crosses the US-Canada border is tentatively scheduled to be constructed in April 2020.
– On 21 January 2020, the South Dakota Water Management Board (the state-level agency that oversees water rights) approved 5 critical water access permits for TC Energy (formerly TransCanada, the developers of the pipeline) to tap water from the Cheyenne, White, and Bad rivers for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. Throughout 2019, Oglala / Lakota and other local Native communiities consistently criticized the Water Management Board and the South Dakota governor’s support of 2019 legislation which would’ve severely punished activists protesting or even “encouraging” protesting against pipeline construction; during the dispute, in May 2019, the leadership at Pine Ridge reservation unanimously voted to ban South Dakota governor, Kristi Noem, from entering the reservation until and unless she rescinded her support of the law. The ACLU and a local judge eventually had the legislation dismissed as unconstitutional.
– The next day, on 22 January 2020, the White House and US Department of the Interior announced that they were granting a critically important “right of way” permit for the construction of Keystone XL pipeline on about 45 miles of land in eastern Montana. The Keystone XL pipeline had basically been stalled in 2015 by the former US presidential administration. The key roadblock to building the pipeline? The US federal government still hadn’t granted Keystone XL and TransCanada access to some BLM land in eastern Montana, making this Montana landscape the only meaningful remaining obstacle preventing the oil pipeline from beginning its construction on US land.
– 29 January 2020: That same notorious “anti-protesting” and so-called “riot-boosting” law that got South Dakota governor Kristi Noem banned from Pine Ridge? On this day, Governor Noem formally announced before state congress that she will again reintroduce a slightly altered version of the law before the legislature this year. The House State Affairs Committee agreed to introduce the draconian anti-protesting bill, HB 1117, on her behalf. Observers believe the law is clearly and specifically meant to intimidate activists intending to protest construction of Keystone XL.
– In several stories in late January 2020, the Williston Herald reveals that a spokesperson for TC Energy confirmed that TC Energy filed a critical updated status report with the US District Court of Montana in mid-January 2020. TC Energy said that it would be moving heavy equipment into storage yards in Montana and South Dakota in February 2020 in anticipation of construction; worker camp modules will then be installed at construction sites in April 2020. The worker crew sites have already been permitted by each state. The company also claimed that it will be building access roads to these sites soon, including some access road construction in Nebraska. TC Energy claimed that, in April 2020, they will build the 1.2 mile segment of the pipeline that crosses the US-Canada border.
The pipeline will be built under both the Missouri River and Yellowstone River, the longest undammed river in the contiguous United States.
Why might the State of South Dakota be so antagonistic towards Native organizers and activists in recent months? Why is South Dakota so excited about criminalizing protests against oil pipeline infrastructure? Here’s a look at how the Keystone XL pipeline passes directly through Native land, especially in western South Dakota.
Reminder that South Dakota’s arbitrary political borders contain 9 formal reservations. Western South Dakota includes the site where the Six Grandfathers landmark was destroyed, and western South Dakota was also the site of the Wounded Knee massacre [29 December 1890]. South Dakota also contains the US county with the lowest median household income [Buffalo County, home to Crow Creek Reservation].
Here’s a look at where the pipeline will make contact with the Ogallala Aquifer and the ecologically unique Sand Hills ecoregion:
Here’s a look at where the pipeline will cross under both the Milk River and the Missouri River at Fort Peck in northeastern Montana:

in case you don’t understand what this post is suggesting, the issue lies in the wild amount of drug seizures involving specifically 280g of crack cocaine, which completely breaks the natural pattern of bigger quantities being rarer
therefore- very good chance this increase in arrests is tied to police forces planting crack cocaine on unsuspecting civillians and arresting them for it

Do you know what this is? This is The Heart from Auschwitz.
An act of defiance. A statement of hope. A crime punishable by death.
On December 12, 1944, locked inside Auschwitz, Polish teenager Fania turned twenty. After spending a year in a concentration camp, Fania didn’t expect her birthday to even be remembered - but her best friend, Zlatka, risked everything to make her a birthday present, a paper heart.
Simply making the heart - or carrying it - could get either of them killed.
The heart was signed by many of their friends, bearing notes in Polish, German, French, and Hebrew that announced "When you get old, put your glasses on your nose, take this album in your hand and read my signature again,“ and “Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!” It was an act of great sacrifice and love for a friend.
Less than 40 days later, they began the Death March from Auschwitz to Ravensbruck, and from Ravensbruck to freedom. Fania carried the heart under her arm the whole time. And survived.
Fania donated the heart to the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Center in 1988, where it is a featured piece of their exhibit. You can read more about the story of Fania and Zlatka Meg Wiviott’s Paper Hearts, coming September 2015.
