here's two articles about how JK Rowling just posted on X an upskirt photo of Freda Wallace, a transgender woman, after deadnaming her and misgendering her repeatedly online.
The wealthy author escalated a social media spat that resulted in posting a photo from a 2023 event at the Institute of Economic Affairs in
Rowling posted the picture taken from below because the trans woman, she said, was "refusing to debate me."
Thank you for posting without the fucking destiel meme
yeh 👍
Konrad Curze saves a baseline child who ends up sticking to him because they're alone and scared and he's "big and spooky and scares the bad people away" and he tries so hard to get rid of them without violence cause come on he's not a complete monster but fails and ends up becoming an unwilling adoptive father who just carries his baby everywhere cause he cant trust any of these assholes [his sons] to watch them thats it thats the post
You know, I don't think I'll ever get over how that one post I made about women as knights in history, made it all the way to Reddit only for a bunch of redditors to argue that women couldn't actually be knights because:
- "the term is gendered" (it's not, and feminine equivalents were sometimes created specifically for the purpose)
- "they didn't actually do things as knights" (who didn't? The Hatchet women fought the Moors. A few other Orders had women as masters of arms. Both martial and formal examples)
...and a few other reasons that come down to "I don't like imagining my manly men in steel had women in their ranks, girls have cooties".
And the reason I say this is because recently, Wikipedia updated their page on "Knight", specifically adding a section about women with the title of knighthood, and what function they performed. And I know: "Wikipedia is not an academic source"--but every academic institution will accept the sources and articles used to back up wikipages, which confirm what has been said.
Knights were sometimes women. 🤷
I saw this and needed to answer.
The gendered versions of 'knight' come from Romance languages, and literally just change the word to fit the gender of the subject (within a binary). So it isn't like English, where a female knight has always been a 'Dame', but, using Spain as an example, the word for Knight in Spanish is 'Cabellero'. This is the default masculine.
The feminine word for Knight? 'Cabellera'.
Similarly in French: "Chevalier" becomes "Chevaliére".
In Italian, "Cavaliere" becomes "Cavaliera".
Outside of Romance languages, "knight" is just a title for a social rank, so even the English Dame is by default a knight by rank, but may not have the title (although not impossible).
So it's not a silly infantilisation, than using a word for the knightly class and gendering it in a binary, which means we can actually tell that, yes, women as knights existed, enough that the feminine form of the word pops up now and then, so we know it existed.
ooh, where one could read that original post??
Just a note about translations and ... well, patriarchal bullshit.
When you say "Hatchet women fought the Moors" I was like "hey, that seems to be part of my local history, how have I never heard about it?", and when I googled it ... I actually have heard about it, it's the Orden del Hacha from Catalonia (Orde de l'Atxa in the original Catalan). But ... there's something odd going on. Why the fuck in English they have translated like "Order or the hatchet"? You know, in Spanish and Catalan there's no really a difference between "Axe" and "Hatchet": There's a single word for them, "Hacha/Atxa". But in English, there's a difference. A Hatchet is a hand axe, pretty much the smallest one you can think of:
So It's pretty remarkable that whoever translated the name of the order to english first decided to use "Hatchet" and not "Axe". I'm pretty sure if this was a order of men warriors the name would have been pretty different. Specially when THIS was their coat of arms:
So dear academic-who-translated-this-first: Does that look like a hatchet to you, motherfucker?!?!?
Important inclusion I was not aware of, thank you very much friend. :)
I’m going to be chuckling over ‘Does this look like a hatchet to you, motherfucker?!?!?” for the rest of the day.

Well as a "fan" I would be "serviced" by some THEMES AND MOTIFS #themesandmotifs #artwithmeaning
Some of the 2010s-era Loki stans were annoying but some of them were very justified. They put Tom Hiddleston in handcuffs and a muzzle. Then they put him in chains and a collar. Then they had him look waifishly sad in a prison cell. Then they put him in handcuffs again. Then they chained him up again. Where else were teenage girls going to see that.

the concept of senshi and grace having segments on tenna’s show came to me in a vision from on high
i have understood so many things about online leftist culture by the fact that when i said "your local community has people you will morally and politically disagree with but you cannot lock them out of accessing any tangible service you’re organising" one of the tags responding said "this isn’t about proshippers in here you’re not welcome" like. folks. focus with me. some of us are homeless here.
There's a disconnect happening here because the primary function of social media for most casual users is to form a circle of friends around the usual things that friendships are built on: shared interests and lifestyles and ideas of what is important and what is unacceptable. When people are mainly doing leftism on social media, this encourages thinking of leftism as centered around establishing high-minded social clubs.
For anyone who still isn't getting it from someone who helps people IRL: There's a difference between whom you're helping to feed at the mealshare and whom you're choosing to hang out with for fun after the mealshare. You don't have to invite a hungry person with opinions you don't like to play board games with you, but you do have to help keep them from starving if you're serious about leftist organizing.

Another yearly reminder that badjokesbyjeff and writing-prompt-s harassed actual Palestinians and started the idea that all gfm accounts are ran by a ‘scam ring’. Neither ever apologized and have pretended this never happened as they still post regularly.
(Writing-prompt-s made an ‘apology’ stating any posts about the incident was due to moderators as they hadn’t been running the blog for some time. This post was deleted eventually.)
You know this is always the post that drags out these trolls. They can’t just keep to themselves and move on. No one even mocked them. I was very late even seeing them! Imagine this is how you spend your days on here. Commenting on posts that tell you about people who hate Palestinians.
Remember everyone: donate to legitimate charities who can do more good for more people with your money instead of blindly trusting some random blog coming into your DMs on Tumblr.
Remember gazavetters consistently has to update blogs marking them as scams and spammers so them being listed does not necessarily mean they have been properly vetted. Many of these blogs are scams.
Stay safe out there.
There is no “many of these blogs are scams” by the way.
When gazavetters marks a fundraiser as scam, this does not mean that they are not people in/from Gaza.
It means that gazavetters has determined, reliably, that the people to whom the fundraiser belongs use lies to get more money from people, have threatened people, or have created a fraudulent copy of the spreadsheet.
It does not mean that they are people not in/from Gaza. If that is determined, then they will not be on the list. If they are on the list, they have been properly vetted.

And they still deserve aid, regardless of morality!!!
"crochet can't be made by machines" went from being a cool fun fact to being a call to action of "so if you see mass manufactured crochet in Target, that was made by a person and they were underpaid and you should boycott it" which is true, it was made by a person, but EVERY item of clothing you own (that you did not purchase from a company using ethical labor) was made by a person being underpaid (at *best*.)
Sewing machines are operated by *people*. Knitting machines are operated by *people*. Yes lots of the process is automated but you cannot tell a machine "make me a t-shirt" or "make me a knit cardigan".
Higher awareness of fast fashion, and the true human labor and abuse behind it, is GREAT, but let's not pretend that the crochet hat in target is THE problem. Every article of clothing in target is the problem. "All clothes are made by people" is the jumping off point here into understanding this issue it's not just crochet it's the whole thing ahhhhHHHHHHHHHH
If you've ever seen images of sweatshops in the early 20th century, in New York or the UK or other developed countries
Guess what
Your clothing is still made in a place that looks like that. The only thing that's different is the tech level of the sewing machines and the race of the workers 
This also applies to all plushies. Every single plushie is made by people, there is no way to make them without human labour.
Unless you buy them from small scale makers who make them themselves, this means they were made in a factory, the same way clothing is.
🚨 My sister is dying, and I don't know how to save her.
Tomorrow, her oxygen support may be withdrawn because we simply cannot afford the treatment she needs.
I'm writing this with a heart full of fear, wondering if this will be my last plea before I lose my sister.
If you have the ability to help, please don't wait.
If you cannot donate, please share this message.
Your kindness, your donation, or even your share could be the reason she gets another chance to live.
I am creating this campaign on behalf of my sister, who is currently in a critical medical condition and urgently needs treatment to survive
