“We inhabit a culture that privileges novelty and growth over the cyclical and regenerative. Our very idea of productivity is premised on the idea of producing something new, whereas we do not tend to see maintenance and care as productive in the same way.”

“Why Is My Curriculum White?” (2015)

https://www.luu.org.uk/campaigns/wimcw/

‘Why is my Curriculum White?’ is a national movement aiming to challenge the persistence of Euro-centric hegemonic narratives across curricula. This movement aims to encourage a broader diversity of course content and perspectives, to help provide a richer and more global education.

It’s like the people who believe they’ll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, but who learn it doesn’t work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you. If you see what I mean.

My favorite line in Sense and Sensibility (the book, not the film) occurs when Elinor is forced into conversation with this arrogant shithead guy at a party who does nothing but talk himself up and sound like an idiot and Austen writes: Elinor agreed to it all, for she did not think he deserved the compliment of rational opposition. OMG. It’s 2019 and this is still such a fucking mood.

YCDT Merch Is Available Now!!

🚨 [LOUD SCREECHING] 🚨

We’re sososo excited to announce the first OFFICIAL YCDT SWAG!! We teamed up with designer Sara Lyons and the rad printers at Cotton Bureau to bring you a limited-edition design on your choice of a super soft tee, crewneck, and/or hoodie. If you wanna show yr love for the pod on your bod, make sure to order ASAP - this stuff will only be available until March 13 at 8 p.m. local time. And THANK YOU! We’re still giddy that people besides our moms wanna support us this way!  A NOTE: When we decided to work on merch with Cotton Bureau back in the fall, they offered women’s fitted tees in a more inclusive range of sizes, which we loved. It’s one of the reasons we were interested in partnering with them in the first place! Unfortunately, economic realities forced the co. to stop producing that brand of tees in late January. We get that this is a bummer. Half your pod squad can’t fit into juniors’ sizing, so we Know What That Feels Like. But we hope you can understand how this happened, and we hope you can still be accommodated by the other [tbh actually unisex!!!] tee and sweatshirt sizing instead. Regardless, plz know that we take this kinda shit seriously and will do our damnedest to make sure any future pod clothing fits every body.

Mood

[oodlenoodleroodle]

I’m getting fed up with this whole “feminism as an identity” thing. Time for “feminism as an action.”

So instead of asking “can a feminist do x?” ask “is doing x a feminist action!”

Can a feminist take her husband’s last name? Mu. Null. Question un-valid, please un-ask question.

Is taking your husband’s last name a feminist action? No it isn’t. It doesn’t challenge the patriarchy in anyway, it is the status quo thing to do, it is what is expected of women, and it carries a lot of historical baggage about ownership and shit like that.

But that’s okay, your life choices don’t have to be 100% dictated by your politics unless you want them to. And it’s okay to really want to take his name while recognizing that you also want to do the feminist thing and keep your own, and it’s okay to feel conflicted and have a hard time making the choice. But no more of this enabling “as long as I made the choice myself it is a feminist choice” -bullshit. Own your choices, even the ones that aren’t informed by your feminist politics. You are still a human being and people do shit that contradicts their politics and even interests all the time. Just stop pretending that everything you do is feminist because you are a feminist, that’s not how it works.

^^this is why bell hooks challenges us to say “i support feminist movement” or “i support feminist action” rather than “i am a feminist.” she says that once we say “i am a feminist” and make “feminist” an identity rather than a political movement or a set of beliefs and the actions resulting from those beliefs, we can become complacent and think the battle is over.
