one of rgu's best takes about rape and incest is that rape and incest are not deviant. they are exceedingly normal. they are, in fact, the logical extension of patriarchal romance and the patriarchal family -- the same logic that underpins those structures facilitates abuse, rape, incest, and csa. many people, even those who nominally understand the idea of rape culture, conceive of rape as a deviation from cultural mores, and even more people view incest as an aberration, a twisting of the Family (which is Good) into something unnatural and evil. but rgu correctly identifies that rape and incest are outgrowths of patriarchal society, not alien intrusions upon it. incest is merely a symptom of the problem which is the patriarchal family itself. rape and domestic abuse are merely symptoms of the problem which is patriarchal & heteronormative romance and society itself. rather than rape being deviant, it is resistance to patriarchy which is deviant; rather than incest being abnormal, it is a girl holding out a hand to another girl in pain which is abnormal. because 'abnormal' does not mean 'bad' any more than 'normal' means 'good'. "fall in love normally, get married normally, have a normal family, and have a normal life -- but normal has nothing to do with us!"

Happy Victory Day at Greasy Grass! ("Battle of Little Bighorn"), June 25, 1876

150 years ago today, combined Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho forces got revenge against Indian-killers George Armstrong Custer and the 7th Cavalry.

There were many brave akicita (Native warriors) there on the field.

Stories vary about the death blows to Custer himself. According to Cheyenne oral history, Buffalo Calf Road Woman fired the shot that knocked Custer off of his horse which eventually led to his next two fatal wounds.

Once he was dead, women used their awls to poke holes in his eardrums "so he would listen to us in the next life."

As Native people, we continue always to defend what is sacred.

Observed today:

Two little girls playing gently with a daddy long legs.

Girl 1: can it die?

Girl 2, in a calm happy even tone: of course. Like all living things it can and must die.

Dogs serve as a kind of virtue eater for Americans to pour all of their kindness into without the risk of improving society or being nice to someone with any agency

how many people on this website like actually absorb the fact that race is a social construct? that race is indeed assigned at birth and reinforced socially through an entire lifetime? that race is fluid and racial privilege is granted and taken away arbitrarily based on what white supremacist power structures benefit from the most? that racialization is relative and changes over time and space? that there is no genetic evidence that race is biological, that it’s a farce in the same way the idea of biological sex is?

Admitting they could understand such oddball behavior from someone with an amazing creative vision, sources close to area painter Dina Paulson told reporters Tuesday that the 34-year-old woman is not nearly a good enough artist to justify her eccentricities. “Dina’s work is okay, but she clearly doesn’t have the talent to pepper her vocabulary with pretentious French phrases that nobody understands,” said acquaintance Allison McCarthy, adding that Paulson also insists on speaking in an obnoxious singsong lilt despite the fact that the self-styled bohemian struggles to secure group shows or sell any of her canvases.

I don't think this is fair - We did get the renter's rights bill which is going to help so many low income people!! And also the workers rights bill. There's a reason why the Tories hate these! Also they abolished the Two Child Limit which took 450,000 children out of poverty and lifted the incomes of a further 1.5 million families with children! Not to mention starting the process of re-nationalising the railways.

I get why this government was a disappointment to many people and they did many things that were bad and a betrayal of their voters. But they did do some good things that really mattered!!
