seconding a focus on sexology; we don't need another Institut für Sexualwissenschaft incident.

off the top of my head:

  • The History of Sexuality (Michel Foucault 1976 – 84 + 2018)
  • Transgender Warriors (Leslie Feinberg 1998)
  • Gender Trouble (Judith Butler 1990)
  • Undoing Gender (Judith Butler 2004)
  • Caliban and the Witch (Silvia Federici 2004)
  • Black on Both Sides (C. Riley Snorton 2017)
  • The Stonewall Riots (Marc Stein 2019)

 

including all the works of Judith Butler and Silvia Federici.

more academically:

  • Kinsey Reports; The Kinsey Institute: The First Seventy Years; and any other expansions on the work of the Kinsey Institute
  • Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Healthcare: A Clinical Guide to Preventive, Primary, and Specialist Care (Kristen Eckstrand, Jesse M. Ehrenfeld 2016)

 

you can probably farm the bibilographies on these.

support a “right to work” instead of UBI. Work is great and it’s more than making money, you achieve self-determination through work etc etc.

this is common in most of western/northern europe, to the point that most social services for citizens or 'integration' support for immigrants ends at employment. the assumption being that any employment is all anyone really needs.

you've been fired from your last three jobs because of your worsening depressive spirals? but it didn't stop you from getting that temp job last week! do some yoga or something smh.

you're a migrant who doesn't know the local language? well, it didn't stop you from getting a job! take a night class or something smh.

you want to switch careers or further your education? but you're already in a career; clearly your education is fine! attend a conference or something smh.

you have no friends or family and no freetime to develop your hobbies and interests? but you have a job! get drunk with your coworkers on Fridays or something smh.

workwork. okiedokie. zugzug.

All the time spent thinking how to solve a problem is also work.

try telling that to every manager i've ever had.

you can hear this pronunciation in this talk from Evgeny Poberezkin, the author of the whitepaper.

growing up, the most common 'counterargument' (read: dismission) to 'global warming' i heard was 'great, i love summer!'

i had to become a singer before i had the lung capacity to sigh hard enough.

Did you look for a nest or another bird in the original shrub?

i didn't see anything in the bush at first glance. i tried to see if it was leading me somewhere, but it didn't seem like it. i didn't want to stress them out by approaching them too quickly or digging thru the bush.

they did seem very small, so it's possible they don't know how to feed themself. it's not too far, so i can try checking on them sometime soon. i don't want to invade their home, tho.

my guess is it was trying to get you to help one of its friends or something.

that was my first guess, but it didn't seem like it was leading me anywhere.

i'm a little worried now.

I’d have had a good search around the area befriending crows can actually bring you some benifit like shiny gifts

when i was homeless, i shared my food with a crow. i got them to bring me coins by feeding them double portions when they brought monies.

or in some cases crow bodyguards as they actually recognise individuals as friends etc.

that's my current relationship to the corvids in town. a long time ago i rescued a magpie from two seagulls, and since then all the corvids no longer fly away when i come near them. the magpies even defended me from a seagull one day!

but they otherwise don't approach me, and we don't 'communicate'.

i was walking along some bushes when a bird flew out from a bush in front of my path into a grass clearing. it was a very small crow. it made two quiet, short, high-pitched peeps in rapid succession, hopping in circles. i tried to walk around it, but it kept blocking my path and making the exact same peeps at me.

i got back on the stone path, and it hopped up right next to me, and starting ripping up grass and throwing it over my feet. i chuckled, and it stopped, looked up at me, and… peeped again, before continuing to bury my feet in grass.

i continued walking and it followed right next to me till the end of the path before watching me walk away and then returning to its bush.

i didn't recognise this bird, or seen a bird do this to me or anyone else before. i'm on especially friendly terms with the corvids in my neighbourhood, but they don't normally approach me.

any ideas? have you seen something similar?

 

Today EU governments will not adopt their position on the EU regulation on “combating child sexual abuse”, the so-called chat control regulation, as planned, which would have heralded the end of private messages and secure encryption. The Belgian Council presidency postponed the vote at short notice.
