I'm so sorry about not updating the past few days. I was committed to a mental health ward Wednesday and just got out today, didn't have my phone or anything. I don't have any messages from anyone from the school like I thought I would, so as soon as I'm able I'm going to call and find out. I'm sorry that I don't have anything else right now.

update on transhumanistfem

I called her school yesterday to give them all the info I had, and today I got a Tumblr message with her name. I spoke with the head of counseling at the school this morning and gave him her name, and he just texted me to say he believes they have found her contact information. He's going to update me as soon as he knows more. Please be praying, y'all

“Q: Can you explain why you are so opposed to pornography?” A. Dworkin: “I find it strange that it requires an explanation. The men have made quite an industry of pictures, moving and still, that depict the torture of women. I am a woman. I don’t like to see the virtual worship of sadism against women because I am a woman, and it’s me. It has happened to me. It’s going to happen to me. I have to fight an industry that encourages men to act out their aggression on women–their “fantasies,” as those aspirations are so euphemistically named. And I hate it that everywhere I turn, people seem to accept without question this false notion of freedom. Freedom to do what to whom? Freedom to torture me? That’s not freedom for me. I hate the romanticization of brutality towards women wherever I find it, not just in pornography, but in artsy movies, in artsy books, by sexologists and philosophes. It doesn’t matter where it is. l simply refuse to pretend that it doesn’t have anything to do with me. And that leads to a terrible recognition: if pornography is part of male freedom, then that freedom is not reconcilable with my freedom. If his freedom is to torture, then in those terms my freedom must be to be tortured. That’s insane.“

“If his freedom is to torture, then in those terms my freedom must be to be tortured.”

Read that. Read it again. This is exactly what “liberal feminism” proposes. That women’s “freedom” is in femininity, in masochism, in self-objectification, and thus in “choosing” what was already defined by patriarchy as “freedom” for women, which is actually just about upholding male supremacy and convincing and raising women to believe we freely chose it.

My true freedom is not to be found in the dictations of patriarchal society, and in order to truly, freely choose anything, I must divorce myself from the hierarchy I was raised into and ask myself these questions; what would I choose in a world without male dominance? What would I choose if I had not been born into a world where society had already determined what a woman is and should be, and groomed me to fit or want to fit this constructed idea of womanhood? Who would I be without patriarchy?

PLEASE SEND ME ANY INFO YOU HAVE ON HER

I live in the same city and know what street she worked on but not where. I also know what school she went to and am friends with multiple students and faculty members. Somebody please give me a name or any other helpful info!!

[transhumanistfem-blog]

I’m sorry. I couldn’t take it anymore. I went off my meds two weeks ago just so I’d actually be able to follow through with this. The threats, the lesbophobia, the Orwellian thought policing. I’m not allowed to be a lesbian anywhere, even the so called “lgbt” community, the place where we are supposed to be accepted, hates lesbians and tells them that their sexuality can be changed and that there’s something wrong with not wanting dick, something wrong with our innate, immutable, sexuality. Lesbians are vanishing due to “queer culture” and between being isolated and watching my sisters vanish and getting threats for existing as who I am and acknowledging reality, I couldn’t take it. This has been a long time coming, it just took a while to get the nerve to do it. My mental health has taken such a toll from all this that this seems to be the only way out. Goodbye.

Her title is “Gone forever” and her description is “see you on the other side”. Now transhumanistfem is dead too. This is making me cry. We were mutuals for years and she was the nicest person ever. I can’t believe this. You will be missed angel:’( This feels less like a nightmare​. I don’t know what to do

Cookbooks

A NYC grad student working on food stamps for her thesis has released a free cookbook for those living on $4/day.

oooooh this is so nice!

[ransomdracalis]

I believe it’s important to eat well, even when you’re strapped for cash. It’s good for your health and energy! This cookbook is full of delicious and healthy recipes, the ingredients of which are fairly inexpensive.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THIS WOMAN AS A FELLOW WARRIOR AND A FANTASTIC HUMAN BEING.

Boost so hard. Feeding yourself well is a challenge when you”ve got little income

[vrabia]

I HAVE BEEN USING THIS COOKBOOK FOR MONTHS AND IT’S AMAZING 100/10 RECOMMENDING EVERYWHERE

(just to give you an idea, my food budget is 30 euro/week at most [about $38] and I have to maintain a healthy diet due to weird medication side-effects and yeah, basically this book is a lifesaver if you’re broke but need to watch what you’re eating)

[adramofpoison]

Reblog to save a life. Because it’s easy to find food for $4/day, but most of it tends to be garden variety junkfood

[natashakhan]

(The pdf is free, I repeat, the pdf is free) 

[ericainchoate]

And yeah, even if you’re not going to use 90% of the recipes, it’s always good to have spare recipe reference points. To quote a dear departed Portland television pitchman, “Free is a very good price.”

[hoomie]

If you can afford to buy it, I urge you to do so! It’s a great cookbook with great pictures and it’s important to support the author! (If you can!) :)

pointing out well off, apparently liberated sex workers as proof of how ethical and wonderful the sex industry is is honestly akin to disallowing criticism of sweat shop labour because there are also a few people making great money sewing couture dresses. we KNOW there are happy and successful sex workers, but that doesn’t exactly compensate for the literal millions of other, unwilling ‘workers’ forced into sexual slavery??

condemning sweat shops and wishing to punish those responsible for these working conditions also doesn’t equal hating those rich couturiers, funnily enough !! so I know this seems to comes as a shock to a lot of you but no ‘the sex trade harms women’ doesn’t mean ‘I hate strippers because they’re gross and slutty’
