Sometimes I Think

I like grandma activities and video games. Madness Combat may be my special interest I fear. Hell yeah!

Emi Koyama has passed. 🥀

[genderkoolaid]

Extremely sad to see. She was apparently only 51.

Folks, if you don't know who Emi Koyama was, you should. Her website (eminism.org, which is a delightful pun) has a ton of her work entirely for free.

You can read the Transfeminist Manifesto in particular here. Emi considered it a historical document and she wrote a very good self-critique in 2008 (included in the document) on the subject of the Manifesto, white feminism, and the lack of inclusion of trans and genderqueer people who aren't trans women. I highly encourage everyone who wants to involve themselves in transfeminism to read her work, not because it is perfect, but because I do think Emi Koyama's Manifesto represents the best intentions for transfeminism: the desire to challenge cissexism, to take activism seriously and compassionately, and a commitment to being open and honest about where we fall short and how we can do better.

I really appreciate this quote from her, which I hadn't seen before, on the subject of feminism needing to "fit in" trans people:

Cis feminists do not own feminism. We don't need to "fit trans people into feminist theory"; we simply need to challenge cissexism in feminist movements and theories. Trans people do not need to be explained by feminist theory; we need to start from the fact that trans people exist and matter.

And it would be a crime to not mention how hard she fought specifically for women of color, to challenge racism and imperialism (white/western and non-white/non-western) in feminist spaces and in general, as well as her intersex activism, and far more. She had such a drive to contribute to, engage with, and push for more and better feminist discourse.

You will be remembered fondly, Emi Koyama. Thank you for all your work and for all your life.

Image ID: Red text in all capital letters reading “EVERYONE GET MORE ANTI-WAR NOW” followed by many exclamation points. The words “anti-war now” are clearer than the rest of the words.

Fucked up that I missed out on the formation of ALL the komatiites. I should have been there in the Archean and Proterozoic.

[voidlesslove]

I need a komatiite in my life to love, cherish, and put under a microscope

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.

[word-for-today]

Word for today: wisdom of repugnance

The logical fallacy that because something disgusts you it must be bad
