On early Bluesky, I was a main character because I publicly stated that socialized gender is a valid analysis of gender. I’m back on my WST BS and I wish a hardy Read Theory to anyone arguing socialized gender is a modern TERF concept. Combahee River Collective Statement, 1977:

Excerpt from the Combahee River Collective Statement, 1977:

As we have already stated, we reject the stance of Lesbian separatism because it is not a viable political analysis or strategy for us. It leaves out far too much and far too many people, particularly Black men, women, and children. We have a great deal of criticism and loathing for what men have been socialized to be in this society: what they support, how they act, and how they oppress. But we do not have the misguided notion that it is their maleness, per se—i.e., their biological maleness—that makes them what they are. As BIack women we find any type of biological determinism a particularly dangerous and reactionary basis upon which to build a politic. We must also question whether Lesbian separatism is an adequate and progressive political analysis and strategy, even for those who practice it, since it so completely denies any but the sexual sources of women's oppression, negating the facts of class and race.

Maybe the Fifth element future isn’t that bad?

The scene from fifth element, where Bruce Willis reaches past his pure white cat to grab a piece of mail delivered via memetic system to his bedroom. A Chinese food truck, in the shape of a boat, and its proprietor float outside. The proprietor is smiling enthusiastically painting to the mail.

Remember the immortal words of Jack Donaghy this Primary season.

Two panels from 30 Rock. The top panel is Kenneth. The bottom panel is Jack jumping into the conversation from Kenneth’s side.

Top panel:
“I don’t register Republican or Democrat. Choosing is a sin, so I always just sit out the primary and complain during the general.”

Bottom panel:
“That’s Republican, we count those.”

Looking through a Progress Report of the Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport and found this section sharing minority employment levels. This is from March 1978, 3 months before SCOTUS ruled racial quotas unconstitutional in the Bakke Decision, the first major ruling against Affirmative Action.

I will never, ever, hand it to KKKathy Hochul… This is a really promising statement though, especially mixed with MTA stating they won’t stop congestion pricing! This is how you resist Trump! Use the legal loopholes the Republicans have carved out over the last 50 years against them!

STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL ON CONGESTION PRICING

Public transit is the lifeblood of New York City and critical to our economic future — as a New Yorker, like President Trump, knows very well.

Since this first-in-the-nation program took effect last month, congestion has dropped dramatically and commuters are getting to work faster than ever.

Broadway shows are selling out and foot traffic to local businesses is spiking.
School buses are getting kids to class on time, and yellow cab trips increased by 10 percent. Transit ridership is up, drivers are having a better experience, and support for this program is growing every day.

We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. The MTA has initiated legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York to preserve this critical program. We'll see you in court.

WE ARE NY
