pdf of the quoted essay by jeremy waldron
Can someone please write out what theyre saying? The closed captions on screen are too short and fast for me :(
I tried my best, here's what she says in the video:
Everbody wants third spaces until a homeless guy shows up. Now theres a lot of talk about third spaces for a reason. We need places to form community beyond just home and work, but that begs the question of who gets to be a part of our communities? You want more parks, more libraries but then you complain when these public infrastructures are, well public.
For the unhoused the importance of public spaces isn't just a matter of wanting somewhere to chill with friends it's a matter of existence and freedom. In his landmark essay "homelessness and the issue of freedom," Jeremy Waldron argues that the freedoms of the poor are dispraportionately restricted under the law since their material conditions coerce them into a state in which they must choose between survival and the violation of the law. He writes that freedom exists for the homeless "only to the extent that our society is communist."
Now before your redscare ass starts to hemmorage over the C-word let me explain, but first let's define our terms. Specifically let's distinguish between postive freedoms and negative freedoms. While postive freedom is the capacity to act according to ones free will, negative freedom is the capacity to act free from the coercion of others.
So things like loitering laws [and] public indecency violations though they apply to the rich and poor alike, they apply disproportionatly to those who posses no private property of their own and thus who exist solely in the collective space, and so while a homeless person may posses the positive freedom to, say, physically lay down in a park, they have their negative freedom restricted since they'll be forcebly removed for doing so, because of the regulations placed on public spaces that prohibit certain actions that are typically relegated to the private, like sleeping, pissing, showering.
All these actions are natural and necessary, and yet theyre prohibited in the public space. And this limitation is no problem for owners of private property, since the public is conceived of as being complementary to the private.
However, as Waldron notes, "This complementarity works only for those who have the benefit of both sorts of places" so if youre homeless you're stuck in a situation where you're forced to violate the law in order to survive, because in order to exist, one needs somewhere they can exist.
There's oftentimes a contradiction with how people consider the homeless if they even consider them at all, people don't want them pissing in the streets, but they also don't want them pissing in the Mcdonald's bathroom. People don't want encampments, but they also oppose the construction of affordable public housing.
There seems to be a desire for increased public life, but only a certain kind of public.
But if you want to advocate for community building then we need to reconsider who gets to be a part of our community.
should be able to leave kudos on scientific studies. i liked your paper dude keep at it
sorry, Dr. Dude
Dude et. al.
need y'all to know that most academics have publicly searchable email addresses and this not only makes their day but they can put nice emails in their giant packets for applying for jobs or tenure. "hi i read your paper for a class and it was very helpful, im at xyz college and the class is blah with professor blah" is sufficient and ENORMOUSLY helpful
It seems that, once again, when you can't kudos, commenting is the way to go
if you thought me solving that sudoku puzzle was hot wait until I get my hands on a rubiks cube
Imagine if we did the “public libraries are punk” thing for other subcultures. Imagine if people made shirts that said “Soup kitchens are grunge” or “Mixed Use Urbanism is Juggalo”.
RIP to the legend
This goose fucking rocks and had a crazy life!
I really just have to summarize Thomas's entire life:
He was in a committed relationship with a male swan named Henry for 18-24 years before a female swan named Henrietta showed up and mated with Henry.
Thomas was initially jealous of the pair and attacked them, breaking 2 of the 5 eggs Henrietta had laid. However, once the remaining eggs hatched, Thomas warmed up to them and helped raise them.
Henry couldn't fly because of an injured wing, so Thomas taught the cygnets how to fly.
When they needed to reduce the goose population in the pond where Thomas and the swans lived, they dyed Thomas's feathers red so he wouldn't be separated from Henry.
Henry, Henrietta, and Thomas remained in their happy throuple for years and raised 68 cygnets before Henry died in 2009. After Henry's death, Henrietta found another swan and flew away, leaving Thomas alone.
Thomas finally met and mated with a female goose in 2011 and had his own babies. However, another goose named George stole them and raised them himself.
As Thomas grew elderly and blind, he was relocated to a wildlife center where he raised orphaned cygnets.
His caretaker at the center described him as "pretty high maintenance."
Thomas died in 2018 at the age of around 40. He had a funeral that included a small coffin and a procession that was led by a bagpiper. He was buried under the stone where Henry was buried, the two finally reunited in death.
Before and after his death, Thomas has been celebrated as an icon of the LGBTQ+ community for obvious reasons.
actually re "he tells me what to do, he tells me why to do it, he tells me how to do it, he tells me when to do it", grace & rocky accidentally (semi-accidentally) falling into a dynamic where rocky is In Charge Of Grace....... grace cannot be trusted to sleep properly, or eat properly, or manage his own time. so rocky is doing it now. they never have a direct conversation addressing it. rocky tells grace to do things and grace listens and they both feel very normal about it. insert optional sex activities but honestly that's not The Point that's just one of many areas of which rocky is in charge. rocky makes the decisions because he cares for grace and grace lets rocky make the decisions because he trusts rocky. two weirdos stuck in a spaceship together for years can have a little lifestyle D/s, as a treat
flash forward to erid, after grace is capable of processing language again and is excitedly meeting with as many eridian scientists as rocky will allow, and an anthropologist asks about human relationships being so intense about power exchange and grace is like .......Ah. Okay. I am, uhh, I am a statistical outlier. With that. Can we table this thought I have to process something.
and then grace barrels back over to rocky (who was in the other room, which is about the limit of their distance tolerance) to say Were you ever going to TELL ME??? and rocky (listened to that whole exchange) says Grace didn't know question??? I decide what clothing Grace wears! I keep making you wear dress just for nice swish sound! Grace knows this! Grace gets giggly about this!
and grace sits down on the floor and says I might be an idiot. and rocky says Yes Rocky Grace know this. Rocky's idiot. while he pets grace's hair and thinks about which books about kink to give to that anthropologist first
sorry for romanticizing the mundane but the fact that laughter is infectious is so incredible to me. like yeah it's just a reaction to stimuli but the way it feels to hear someone laugh and feel yourself compelled to share that joy is really something. and it's so simple and requires no skill but it's so special and important to me.
this is so effervescent

Finally bought some dye and have been having so much fun with optical color mixing. I decided to start with cmyk primaries to get some vibrant color options.
So far I've only mixed up the main batch of colors, but I'll split them up and create a palatte of tints and shades once I have access to a scale again.
I don't have any fancy tools and have been blending the fiber by hand, so it's probably best I have a forced break for the sake of my fingers. Once I'm done I should have a very useful set of 57 2g swatches to play with! (Plus 5 more for a set of grayscale swatches)
If I'm still up for it, I might repeat the whole thing with my classic red, yellow, blue primary dye set. For a truly massive set of heather swatches.
I'll create a comprehensive guide to all the color mixes and my process once I'm done, but in the meantime here's a mixing guide for the colors I've already done!
The ratios are presented in the same order as the wool swatches in the photo above it. I didn't simplify any of the ratios so you'll have to deal with 2:2s instead of 1:1s, oops.
For anyone curious, I used brilliant yellow, deep magenta, and caribbean blue from Dharma dyes on their corriedale wool for my base colors.

reading problematic fanfiction but shaking my head so random tumblr user who thinks thought crimes are real knows I don't condone it in real life
ignore my boaner 👍
fictional characters can't consent because they aren't real.. but YOU can consent to reading heavy themes, and you can withdraw consent by clicking the back button and stopping any time, it is your choice to read stories that include or exclude consent 👍
I love when puritans are so far up their ass they circle back to being more perverted than the original concept
Ough... what if my author made me...
ive always been willing to die on the hill of cis women being able to beat cis men in sports so nobody will ever ever make me concerned about trans women in womens sports even if i was delusional enough to believe that was a comparable situation. do i think a cis woman could beat a trans woman in fucking pickleball or whatever? Buddy I think a cis woman could beat a cis male bodybuilder in sports. You will not get me
this feels too important (and correct!!) to leave in the notes
Research has shown that women, due to specific reasons, have regularly produced faster times than men in marathon swimming.
The sport’s governing body says there is little difference in performance between genders. Should men and women compete head-to-head as indi
Uncover the unique differences between men’s and women's gymnastics at the Olympics. Explore how these events contrast in style and rules.
Women outperform men in many sports, and in many instances, the men's versions of these sports are rewritten into completely different versions so that they can't be compared.
And if your reaction to this is "well women don't outperform men in skills that we typically find impressive" I would implore you to think about why things women tend to be better at than men are valued less by society.
If your reaction is "well that's cherrypicking examples, its such a small handful of formalized sports" I'd implore you to think of why so many popular sports are structured around the specific set of skills men are better at.
Because the answer starts with m and ends with isogyny.
Worth noting with olympic shooting specifically it was a mixed event, until a woman started beating them, at which point it became gendered. Gendered shooting is like gendered chess, it's not even a game of strength.
By gendering sports that were once mixed, it shunts women into a lesser league that deprives them of funding thus leading to fewer women in the sport.
Mixed shooting or chess or whatever gets a set number of advertisers. If women start winning then they can get a bigger slice of those advertising dollars. However, if the formerly mixed league is gendered then the men's league will get more money and expand the talent pool whereas the women's league will get less money which will shrink the talent pool. This will lead to a disparity in talent that will be used as "proof" that the initial unjust funding was "just"
Something similar happened in UFC when women started to win too much. The funding structure was changed to the point that women champions could literally no longer afford to train. This led to a shrinking in the women's talent pool and a widening of a once shrinking talent disparity.
Don't forget that a lot of the women that would best men in sports might be POC and they can't be having that.
Look at how the Williams sisters were demonized for just beating white women. Constantly.
Grace and Rocky are living in like this whimsical space adventure. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Eva Stratt just ordered her fifth assassination this week trying to stop WW3. The other day she replaced Jeff Bezos with a homonculus clone grown in a lab so she can repurpose Amazon into a humanitarian aid distribution network. She had a team of lawyers trick a demon into extending her lifespan by 30 years just so she can live to see through Project Hail Mary.
