I dislike the way that people dance around the oppression of women when it comes to conversations about history. Lots of people acknowledge that women were seen and treated as property, but the horror of that experience is rarely conveyed. When teaching about women's rolls in ancient cultures there is always that comment about women not being able to own property, that they were property themselves, and were expected to be submissive to men. But what does this actually look like?

It looks like rape. Like mothers being seperated from daughters. It looks like being forced to cohabit with and serve an owner who will force himself on you and breed you like stock. It is the sadness of miscarriage and the realisation that your body won't hold up. It's mutilation and violence. It's watching the deaths of your friends knowing that none of them lived a truly happy life. It's watching your daughter grow up knowing that she will be sold into servitude and raped until she dies, the same fate you face. In some cases you didn't even have a name.

Women's oppression is the oldest form of oppression, and yet we are still so strongly gripped by patriarchy that there is a refusal to acknowledge what that actually means. We have barely even started earning our rights in the west, and our sisters still face the terror of what I have described above. Women are always one step away from losing everything, and yet the movement meant to fight for women's liberation is being overun by men and misogynistic women. It's easier for them to uphold the status quo than challenge it.

Women need to learn their history, the grim and horrifying reality of it. The truth of our existence under patriarchy. If we don't seek out this truth, then history is doomed to repeat.

Spoke to a gen z person the other night and apparently the young folks don't know about the very legal sites from which you can access public domain media (including Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and other Victorian gothic horror stories)?

Like this young person didn't even know about goddamn Gutenberg which is a SHAME. I linked to it and they went "aw yiss time to do a theft" and I was like "I mean yo ho ho and all that, sure, but. you know gutenberg is entirely legal, right?"

Anyway I'm gonna put this in a few Choice Tags (sorry dracula fans I DID mention it though so it's fair game) and then put some Cool Links in a reblog so this post will still show UP in said tags lmao.

Spreading the news to my followers - if you weren’t aware of this before, here’s the link to Project Gutenberg - https://www.gutenberg.org/

Project Gutenberg is a gigantic collection of books that are in the public domain. You can read the books through the site or you can download them in various formats so you can get the format you prefer for your eReader of choice.

It is free.

It is legal.

I was reviewing the list of the top 100 books downloaded yesterday and I saw a fair few that I had to read for college classes - so if you’re a college student and your professor assigns you to read Plato or any number of older works, check here before you buy a copy.

I reread the Anne series several years back - they were free through this. I need to reread Pride and Prejudice at least once a year, and my e-book version is from this. Someone recommended Jekyll and Hyde to me a few weeks back and I got a free copy from this. When I went to Haworth on my last holiday before the plague times, I brought books by the Bronte sisters with me to read or reread that I downloaded from here. It’s a great resource.

linguisticparadox

Yes yes yes! I was honestly so flabbergasted that this young person hadn't heard of the gutenberg project! It's been around for AGES, maybe longer than the kindle has? And it's such a huge project and wonderful resource! It used to be a household name (or maybe that's just my family, thanks to my dad being a cheapskate nerd [affectionate]). I was so glad to be able to share this resource and others with them though, and I wanted to make sure no one else was missing out!

If you look at the first reblog from me I also recommended a few other resources, most of which were from www.archive.org, home of the Wayback Machine! They run openlibrary.org, where you can check out ebooks of some public domain titles! They even have the Bone series by Jeff Smith!

And archive.org itself has all kinds of public domain media including music and movies! For Dracula fans, here's a radio show adaptation of the book, starring Orson Welles! And here's a 1920 movie adaptation of "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," starring John Barrymore, the grandfather of Drew Barrymore!

I'm so excited to see people falling in love with classic media through Dracula Daily! Let's keep that fire blazing!

wanderingchaos

Also, if you can't handle reading things, check out libirvox.org! it's a free audio book project taking public domain works and people doing free audiobooks! there's a lot of great stuff on there, but it takes things in the public domain and makes audio books out of them!

it's a super nice project, and you can find some really nice readers there!

athenadark

Also don't think a book is old because it's in the public domain

lots of writers and publishers are prepared to waive future profits for entirely petty reasons

because of this the entire works of Philip K Dick [petty writer who found himself with lots of hangers on during his life] and HP Lovecraft [his publisher - who was his wife and hated him] became public domain on their death

Sherlock Holmes entered public domain this year, it's always worth checking because you can save a fortune

and the more popular the classic - the more likely someone has uploaded it

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

elfwreck

Want audiobooks instead?

LibriVox has free public domain audiobooks.

Public domain works in the US are:

Anything published (in the US) from 1927 or earlier (this number goes up every year for quite a while), and

Anything published between 1928 and 1963 that wasn't renewed, and

Anything published before 1989 without a proper copyright notice.

(Don't go looking for things in that third category unless you've studied a LOT about copyright law. Mostly that covers things like "weird little newsletters" and "self-published booklets" and sometimes fanzines. But most publications have a copyright notice in them.)

There's also some oddball exemptions here and there; copyright law is a tentacled mess. But those are the basic guidelines. (Except for audio. Audio has its own set of rules. It's weird.) (I mentioned tentacles, did I not? Double the amount of them you were thinking of.)

There are a lot of works from the 50s and early 60s that were not renewed, especially short stories published in magazines.

Project Gutenberg began in 1971; the first text was the US Declaration of Independence, shared through the university computer system. That was the start of "hey computers + public domain text = FREE BOOKS FOR EVERYONE."

noswordinourlake

Adding on that Project Gutenberg is not just Eng language texts either! I know specifically about the French texts because I did independent study French lit in high school and all my sources were Project Gutenberg acquired (Candide my beloathed) but there's many open source texts available in a number of languages.

browsing the top 100 books downloaded in the last 30 days can be really fun too, interesting to see how things change

rostekhorn

Oh man, yeah, young people definitely need to learn this. I read so many public domain things when I was fresh out of college and penniless but still needed entertainment. Just going straight to Wikisource works too:

And yes, Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain. But I got bored with Sherlock Holmes after a few months, and became much more pumped when I discovered his mirror opposite, Arsene Lupin. Because when you're not only young and penniless but living through the Great Recession, what you really want to read about isn't the world's greatest detective solving crimes. It's the world's greatest thief robbing fat cats blind while pantsing the police along the way.

This is so powerful that in the old times they made a whole-ass index of every word in the Bible, called a concordance. It is now possible for every electronic book

instead of saying “let people hate religion” say “let people hate christianity” because i promise you that the first one sets off big sirens in every jewish and muslim person’s head.

scallioncreamcheesebagel

its rly funny that the notes if this post are full of terfs w urls like “terfvania” and “rad-femme-fatale” saying shit like “actually judaism and islam are barbaric patriarichal religions that oppress women uwu”

radfems proven once again to be antisemitic islamophobic racist shitheads

jennifercheckdidnothingwrong

all Abrahamic religions are patriarchal and oppress women, you guys are just too stupid to use any critical thinking

somehow thinking women shouldn’t be seen as lesser or oppressed is bad, but religions declaring that women are lesser or dirty or sinful are totally fine

radzinha

Abrahamic religions: women are fucking shit, let’s rape and kill them

Women: this is bad

Some stupid fuck with like one brain cell: this is racist and you’re literally a nazi

Did op forget the Torah is in the Bible it’s literally Volume 1 of the Bible (The Old Testament)

Did op forget that Islam is a religion that worships the same God they worship in Judaism and Christianity did they forget Mohamed wrote about Jesus, son of Mary, and in fact revered him as The Prophet and Messiah but didn’t believe he was the son of God? That Jesus is the most frequently mentioned person in the Quran with 93 different mentions?

I don’t just hate Christianity. Christianity is only one offshoot of a monotheistic cult invented by woman-haters in the Levant like seven thousand years ago. All branches of that cult hate women.

fretami

im ethnically jewish, and its not antisemetic to criticize judaism as a sexist, misogynistic, and homophobic religion, as long as you apply the same level of criticism to christianity, islam, and other religions.

radfems are showing ideological consistency and moral consistency

chadradfem

Anyway I hate all religions. Fuck Mohammad the pedo warlord, fuck the Torah and the Talmud, fuck the bible, fuck your god.

push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.

push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.

get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.

stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.

buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.

buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.

strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.

organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.

have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.

push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.

message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.

think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.

become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.

lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasn’t a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you.

i’m a female ultradistance runner and i always assumed that i was hurting my heart, just like what happens to men: i know many middle aged male runners who have had some kind of cardiac event, despite being very fit. this explains why my mother is still racing, while my father had to stop. this is such gorgeous news.

pointlessblogofmine

If it’s so bad for them, are we sure they did all the running after prey animals?

Our was it Mother Nature’s idea to kill them off quicker?

womenarehuman

Society: Men are the superior sex!

Science: Well actually, you have inferior immune systems, you are more likely to die in childhood, you have less ability to fight off cancer, you're less likely to survive a famine, you're more likely to have a genetic disease with only 1 X, you're more likely to have mental deficiencies with only 1 X, you don't live as long, and we just found out that running can kill you.... So men are actually rather frail, evolutionarily speaking....

Women: (Having dealt with the drama of a man with a simple cold.) No shit Sherlock. 🙄

marmorada

This is fucking crazy. I remember SO MANY articles about male runners that dropped dead of sudden cardiac events where the family and media were totally blindsided because “he’s a runner, he was so healthy!” and it being all very traumatizing to my cardiophobia because supposedly it proved anyone can get a surprise cardiac event. Like are you kidding me

queen-mayhem

Oh yeah, this is also a factor in why women perform better in ultra-distance running. I read about it in an article about that woman who beat the fastest known time for the Appalachian trail. Her strategy was, "I can't run faster than a man, but I can run more than a man." So she rested less and ran more, and despite keeping a slower running pace, she blew the previous guy's record out of the water. Beat him by more than a day.

The article points out that at the end of a race, male ultra-distance runners are in bad shape health-wise. They link to a study showing that male ultra-distance runners, but not female ultra-distance runners, display pulmonary edema at the end of a race. Female runners show some signs of cardiac stress, but men show a lot more, a lot more significantly. Interestingly, that study compared time-matched subjects - so it isn't just because the men are running faster. It was a small study, so take it with a grain of salt. But it suggests that long-distance running is harder on a man's heart than a woman's heart.

ms-andrie

Running is also the most egalitarian sport with retirees regularly outperforming teenagers. And if a female long distance runner in her 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's has better cardio health than her male peers, (and live longer than them) just HOW sure are we that it was men who were the persistence hunters. Mix this in with the average prehistoric woman being stronger than modern female athletes. Throw this in with colourblindness being more common in men by an order of magnitude: Yeah. Women were better hunter gatherers.

becausekaiserislousy

This fact blew me off.

Maybe I, even with physical challenges (scoliosis, myopia) and mental, am stronger than a male with same problems.

#no he's homophobic :|#one of the many reasons why I don't speak to him anymore

kiefbowl

male ally:

1. he will clean the house, the public spaces, the common areas, the work space (and anywhere a woman may tread) fully and with complete competence, so that it is hygienic and sanitary and nice to look at and pleasant to be around. he will do this without any expectation that a woman or any woman will assist him.

2. he will not consume any material classified as media that depicts women (fictional or real) in positions (sexual or not) of humiliation, torture, bodily harm, pain, torment, dehumanization, commodification, or death, which have been made for the express purpose to tantalize, titillate, or arouse an audience of men, and he will not masturbate to the thought of such media.

3. he will expect no children, no marriage, no servitude or attention from any woman, and will not expect any woman to forego her own health and safety to uplift his quest for legacy and import; nor will he expect her to prioritize him and his goals, his desires, or needs over her or another woman’s. rather he will, when possible, prioritize her own self-fulfillment and self-actualization without her asking.

4. he will not rape.

5. he will kill rapists. he will not punish a woman who kills a rapist, but indeed he will try his best to spare her the pain by killing the rapist for her. when a woman kills a rapist, he will aid in uplifting the woman in the community in announcing and celebrating her good deed. he will expect no same approval and distinction and will do his work quietly and unassumingly. He will find no pleasure in the act and expect no reward, not least which from the rapist’s victims.

6. he will speak when spoken to by a woman, and he will do so in a manner of utmost respect. he will otherwise cast his eyes down as to prevent her discomfort, and make no act or sound to gain her attention. he will be appreciative for any attention a woman deigns to give him, and he will not expect any attention further than she gives.

7. he will disown any god, all gods, and take no interest in the pursuit of godliness. the matters of theology will only be discussed, known, and understood by women, and he will have no desire taking part. he will not listen; he will not concern himself. he will not argue with a woman about the affairs of gods and spirituality, up to and including god's lack of existence. he will understand that he has no valuable insight regardless of his agreement in such matters.

8. he will labor graciously to provide a world that fosters the health and imagination of women, with no expectations for his own rewards.

9. he will not wage war; he will not fight in a war.

10. he will accept death before he waivers on any of these tenants.

could an average, able-bodied person reasonably walk from where you live to a library, in good weather?

yes, because i live at a school/college etc with a library

yes, very easily

yes, there's a library in a reasonable walking distance

yes, but it'd take a while / terrain would suck to navigate

yes, but it'd take so long / be difficult enough to do that nobody would

no, there's no library in a reasonable walking distance

So while it’s true that the Enterprise is not as big as people think, that goes double for the Falcon!

A good way of thinking about the relative size is by using a bridge comparison:

The Enterprise bridge has space for 11 people to work, as well as a significant amount of space between stations to move around comfortably:

[Bridge illustration by Tobias Weinmann via here]

And the whole thing fits in the nipple thing up on top of the saucer:

Meanwhile the Falcon (beloved weed bus) has a cockpit that seats 4, with only 2 main operational stations, and zero floor space:

And since Serenity was mentioned too…

Serenity has a bridge more comparable to La Sirena - with 2 stations at the front and quite a bit of floor space.

And for those interested in a visual comparison:

(Boeing 747 for scale as well as the Delta Flyer because Why Not)

TLDR: The Millennium Falcon is pretty dinky, so I propose *true weed bus status* goes to the excellent smuggling ships of Serenity and La Sirena. The Falcon is herby demoted to man on his weed bicycle with his pet monkey and a gun (to be clear the monkey is Solo)
