Two-thirds of NYC’s income growth since the pandemic went to the top 1%. The richest 0.001% — about 50 families — saw their average income soar from $315 million in 2019 to nearly $600 million a year. It’s time to build a city that works for everyone.

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 5d agoBreaking News: Robin Morgan, a prolific feminist writer, radical activist and former Ms. magazine editor, has died. She was 85.
Bourgeois women’s rights infrastructure has been the form of counterrevolutionary capture of the world historical force that is feminism. This dialectical progression is one of the processes that defined the 20th century. Thats what I have to say today.

Im truly loathe to have a take at a time like this, but I want say that what I’m mourning with Dolly is not her exceptionalism But her representativeness. Every town and neighborhood has 5-10 (or less or more) women who spend their days making sure kids have books to read, .
In the past weeks, several amazing feminists around the world with whom I had the opportunity to conduct oral interviews have been reading my book (here the incomparable Nighat Said Khan) 😳. I am lucky to have had the opportunity to write the lives and ideas of these fierce intellectuals.
There is a window of possibility for trans childhood that kids opened up in the early 2020s. You see this is the public sociality of trans kids on the subway, in first-year college comp classes, on the playground where two little femme friends run together in mutually produced and adoring freedom.

It still comes up when I talk to confused and trans-antagonistic therapists. This article has done lasting harm, with a few others, in turning liberals towards fascism
Pluto books! One group that might be interested is Ppl with new babies who often have a hard time with reading so i will mention that my book is very small and easy to hold in one hand and each essay takes about one-two feeding’s worth of time to read for a 1-6 month old (before they get quick w it)
Lots to say about this quote from Phillipson but I think a key element is how cis people are understood as 'biological' and therefore as having material needs (services, spaces) where as trans people are an 'identity' and therefore only have cultural/recognitional needs ('not being pilloried').
This one won’t get much play outside of New York city but just a huge L for mercenaries and sell outs last night
