To commemorate Trans remembrance day I am including various readings found on @TheoryReads (twitter). https://twitter.com/TheoryReads/status/1329936851906523136?s=20

WHY BLACK GENDER CONVERSATIONS WILL ALWAYS FAIL UNLESS WE CENTER BLACK CHILDREN

“Everything I know about being femme I learned from Sula”

OUR GENDERS ARE MORE THAN OUR BODIES: AFFIRMING TRANS IDENTITY BEYOND APPEARANCE

You Could Never Misgender Me

While /r/CTH was still unbanned, we had a Pride Month collection dubbed the "Gay Agenda". If you go to Perusall you can still read them.

Happy weekend, hope everyone of you comrades is safe and cuddled up with a nice book this coming holiday.

I <3 you all

    Debt: the First 5000 Years by David Graeber

    It's really good, and really thought-provoking. I can only read about a chapter a day because each one gives me a lot to think about.

    So far the thing that's resonating most with me is the distinction between intangible debt that mostly serves to create social relationships and obligations, and monetary debt which can be purely transaction. The whole "gig economy" is turning activities that used to be the former, like giving your friend a ride, into the latter and increasing social alienation as a result.
