Leslie Feinberg (September 1, 1949 - November 15, 2014), c. 2000. Photo c/o Equality Forum. Leslie Feinberg, who would turn sixty-seven today, was a pioneering transgender and butch lesbian writer and activist who fundamentally altered the mainstream discussion surrounding gender, sexuality, and society. Feinberg’s writings, particularly “Stone Butch Blues” (1993) and “Transgender Warriors” (1996), were key contributions to the queer canon. “Stone Butch Blues,” Feinberg’s best-known work, is the partly autobiographical story of Jess Goldberg, who narrates “into adulthood…and comes to grips with [their] complicated…sexual and gender identity at a time when practicing a so-called alternative lifestyle invited stigma, open discrimination and, in many settings, menacing opprobrium.” With “Transgender Warriors,” Feinberg laid the groundwork for much of the terminology that continues to shape the fight for trans rights; “[t]he struggle of trans people over the centuries,” Feinberg wrote, “is not his-story or her-story. It is our-story.” Beyond hir (Feinberg’s preferred pronoun) writing, Feinberg also was a lifelong activist: ze organized a 1974 march against racism in Boston, was an early AIDS advocate, and spent much of hir life fighting for reproductive justice. But it was “Stone Butch Blues,” according to Shauna Miller, that “changed queer history. It changed trans history. It changed dyke history. And how it did that was by honestly telling a brutally real, beautifully vulnerable and messy personal story of a butch lesbian.” Leslie Feinberg died on November 15, 2014, of complications from tick-borne infections, including chronic Lyme disease, which ze suffered from since the 1970s; ze was sixty-five. Feinberg, who is survived by hir spouse, Professor Minnie Bruce Pratt, attributed hir health crisis to “bigotry, prejudice and lack of science,” issues ze wrote about in “Casualty of an Undeclared War.” #lgbthistory #lgbtherstory #lgbttheirstory #lgbtpride #QueerHistoryMatters #HavePrideInHistory #LeslieFeinberg

This is not a costume, it’s just an outfit I really like, but with my hair now being purple, black, and a little bit blonde, I realized with quiet horror that I’ve accidentally assembled a genderbent 30-yr-old Yugi Muto cosplay

I would also like to point out another alternative to an Amazon product: The Storygraph as an alternative to Goodreads! You can upload your goodreads data to The Storygraph. It is still in beta, so they are making changes and improving things all the time, but I find it functions in a similar way. Unlike goodreads though, you can do ratings in increments of .25 stars, and you can add content warnings as a tag in your review. I also think the personalization is better and more fun because you can see graphs of what you’ve enjoyed. My only complaint is that they don’t have author pages, but I think they will add those at some point. Oh, and the reason I’m bringing this up: when you want to purchase a book you see there, they link to bookshop.org by default!

American Airlines Effectively Bans Power Chair User From Flying

Hat Tip to @vennsync for letting me know about this.

This is completely asinine, @AmericanAir . https://t.co/sJ8KpU2Xnj Without notice (or frankly a good reason), you effectively banned a massive segment of the disabled population from flying to a significant chunk of the US. For folks in a hurry, here’s a summary:

— UrbanCripple (he/him) (@UrbanCripple) October 31, 2020

[meangirlnurse]

per that article, the justification for banning power chair users from American Airlines flights is because American Airlines has been damaging people’s chairs too often, so it decided to simply ban anyone who needs a power chair that they feel is too large 

the whole situation is outrageous but that strikes me as some kind of particular flavor of outrageous

[meangirlnurse]

you can email the American Airlines customer relations department to complain specifically about disability-related policies directly at this link.

“In Aden in 1927, a young French socialist named Paul Nizan found a microcosm of the mercantile capital of the nineteenth century, but here stripped to its bare elements, devoid of the cosmopolitan cultural façades of Beirut or Alexandria. ‘There was no news except what came in cables came from the agencies.’ European newspapers piled up unopened in the corners of bedrooms. 'No theatres, no publishing houses, no libraries… all the décor was forgotten and temporarily abolished.’ 'Every second of time they passed–or passed them by–was subject to the pressure of the world market… In Aden, this pressure was an immediate presence, there were no intermediaries.’ 'Every heart hung on the electric waves that traveled under mountains of sea which no shareholder of Shell tried to imagine.’ 'These men were replaceable parts of an invisible mechanism that slowed down on Sunday, because of religion, and was periodically jammed by the violent accidents of economic crises. This whole mass of machinery, bolted together, without safety valves, vibrated like a structure of sheet iron.’ 'They were men obsessed, and they were dying by inches in the service of anonymous capital.’”

— Jairus Banaji, A Brief History of Commercial Capital (2020), citing Paul Nizan, Aden, Arabie (1970)
