The first PCT hikers of the 2026 season set off today, and I'm so excited to hear their stories + also so jealous. Record snow levels ended my 2023 thru hike early, but I genuinely think about that trail every day

A Judith Butler Apology Form

From: Date:

Reason For Behaviour:

[] The media convinced me that feminism was solved in the 1980s
[] I never actually read their work
[] I miss not thinking about gender
[] I didn't realize how much of society is built on gender
[] I was jealous of their nonbinary swag
[] Mercury was in retrograde
--
[] I will hereby respect Judith Butler and I will NOT talk down on the best feminist thinker of our lifetimes

Political Heterosexuality, or: The Tragedy of Feminism On the specter that is haunting feminism.

Today, I would like to present a deep dive into feminist history that got away from me.

Like, really got away from me.

It is about the futility of a politics of appeasement. It is about the unburial of a neglected feminist history. But most of all, it's about lesbian feminism, and sins unforgiven.

Becky Chambers' Wayfarer series (four books) is also excellent! It's more mature than Monk & Robot imo because it's set in a wider galaxy w/ various tensions and histories, but still gentle sci-fi and has her usual trans/nb rep. The third book is my favorite, but they're all great

Depends on if you're focusing on Christianity or multiple traditions, but Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg (@/theradr.bsky.social) & Cindy Milstein (@/cbmilstein.bsky.social) could be good people to add!

I cried a lot playing @sunsetvisitor.studio's 1000xResist so it's a complex kind of joy, but it was also an incredible game/narrative. I've genuinely never played anything like it
