fridge is bare bones empty (like soooo empty, it's depressing) and we need groceries + medicine for kalen who is currently a sicko (aka he's been feeling like shit lately).

aiming for $500, to last us until the first or second week of July, and that should give Kalen plenty of time to recover and hopefully we'll finally be moving back (though i'm tired of holding my breath because i'd asphyxiate at this point).

if you can chip in $5 or $5,000, please feel free. I'm tired, I've got a bunch of health issues myself (including following up with a rheumatologist and additionally starting TMS for my depression (so I don't kill myself like i've been feening for), have to start laser hair removal soon, it's pride month and Kalen and I both have a little sugar in the tank, etc.

payp*l or ko-fi

could write a book very long Poast about how patriarchal men and women of all stripes and creeds have their own version of viewing rebellious white women as this sort of ultimate, socially corrupting force and a threat to male-dominated civilizations. they extend this anxiety against white queer people as well, but white women get the worst of it as they’re at the foundation of white men’s complaints about losing control over their birthright.

[pure]

white conservative men and women think rebellious white women are destroying western civilization by being disobedient to white male supremacists

white leftist men and women will tolerate a white woman’s rebelliousness so long as she is careful to not critique misogyny from progressive men

then you have a type of de-colonialist, anti-racist, and anti-imperialist who credits white women with inventing feminism, which they say is brainwashing third world women and women of color into disobedience against “their men.” or they will accuse these women of “wanting to be white” in order to discipline them.

if you’re not exposed to gender/women’s studies in academia then you may not know this but there is/was a pattern of some africana “feminists” and womanists who say that caring about misogyny is a white woman thing, and we don’t benefit at all from demanding that men of color stop engaging in violence against women. it’s understandable that white women are feminists, because white man bad. but “our men” are good. so, we shouldn’t make them too mad with all of this female liberation talk because that’s the stuff of white women.

there is more but i’m finna make dinner lol.

anyone else notice how when "digital assistants" were just supposed to do specific tasks when you asked for them we had Alexa and Siri and Cortana, but now that they're being marketed as smart enough to take actions and make decisions on their own they've got names like Claude and Devin

Neo is too good for this show. This man's expressions are so perfectly on point it almost hurts. I love him and he deserves the best shows.

see this is exactly what I'm talking about. this labour is so incredibly invisibilised that there are real human beings, walking about amongst us, leading normal lives, etc., who earnestly believe that machines can make an item of clothing from start to finish.

Hey just in case someone on here doesn’t quite understand how labor intensive making a garment is, here is a list of things that (to the best of my knowledge) cannot be done by machine alone, from a costumer/tailor in training

Cutting - in my opinion, the most labor intensive part of the process. The amount of time/effort needed varies depending on the pattern and if seam allowance is included or marked separately, but no matter what this process can not be done by machine. Each and every panel and piece of fabric that goes into a garment must be cut by hand by a person.

Pinning/clipping - pinning (or clipping) is the stage at which you align the pieces you are going to be stitching together and hold them together with — you guessed it! — either pins or clips. This can not be done by machine.

Stitching - the actual sewing. This can be done by a sewing machine, but that machine still needs to be operated by a human being.

Ironing/pressing - two words that mean the same thing. The iron itself is a machine, but once again, it needs to be operated by a human being.

Finishing - depending on the technique you use, there are certain finishing techniques that can only be done by hand. But, let’s assume we’re talking about fast fashion, which is usually just finished with a simple overlock/serger. Once again: these machines need to be operated by people.

These are just the basic steps to making a garment, and don’t include textile arts that I am not as knowledgeable about, such as weaving, knitting, and crochet. Also, it is important to note that there are a lot of things that can only be done by hand, such as certain stitches and decorative techniques.

Also, the machinery being operated in textile factories is not equivalent to a domestic sewing machine. We’re talking about one of these guys:

See that gray cylinder under the table, behind the knee pedal? That’s the motor. These machines can sew through your fingers bones and all and not even stop. The people in these factories and sweatshops are operating heavy machinery, and are subject to all the risk that comes with that in addition to all of the work I mentioned above.

Please respect textile workers and continue the fight to eliminate the use of sweatshops and exploited labor in the fashion industry!
