the fundraiser for Renée Macklin Good’s family has well surpassed its goal and is now closed — if you want to help Minneapolis residents as the city is terrorized by ICE raids, please turn your attention toward this fundraiser for local families, as well as Adelina Olivarez Cardona and Arturo Sanchez Chinos, both of whom are currently being detained.

additionally, you can support the family of keith porter jr, who was shot and killed by an off duty ICE agent on new years

My name doesn’t matter, but my sister’s name does. Ronza is not dying from a bombing right now, but from something slower: brutal cold, severe anemia, and a body that no longer has food or warmth to protect it. At night, the danger grows her blood weakens, her limbs go cold, and the exhaustion never leaves. This is not poetic language. This is her condition today.

According to circulating news, the crossing may open next week. For us, this is not a political update it is a matter of time and survival. Ronza needs to make it to that day. If you are reading this, your presence here can make a real difference: share, donate, or simply say her name out loud. Do not let Ronza become another forgotten number.

Gofundme - Vetted #213

As far as I can see the last donation was 7 hours ago, so if you have anything to donate, this family would appreciate it with all their heart!! They deserve it!!

Please please help us

god the promised bride is still one of the best short stories ever. not even as part of larger canon

story about how capitalism and patriarchy prey similarly on you. how you cannot escape your fate without becoming unrecognizable to yourself

"Why are you crying?” he asks, and when he’s spoken, he turns the first of his faces away from her. “Tomorrow is the Day of Going Forth,” the promised bride tells him. “Which means that tomorrow I will be married. And I know that this is certain, because all of the arrangements have already been made, and everyone keeps telling me how happy I must be at last.” “But I also know that it can’t be true, because this is not who I am. It is not who I will ever be. I cannot give myself up to be shaped by this match and this commitment. I cannot be bound into this life that they have planned for me.” “Then become something else,” the Trawler-man says, with the first of his two faces. “My currents are kind, and your flesh is pliant. I will make you something that cannot be bound.” “But I am afraid,” the promised bride replies. “I have seen the bodies that come back from below. I have seen the obscene outcomes of the dreadful river.” The Trawler-man laughs, and says, “They send you to their factories and fields to harden your palms, burden your back and choke your lungs. They strip you of your dignity and they turn your hair white and your gums bloody as they rot you from within. Why should their outcomes be natural, and mine obscene?” The young bride says, “But either way I become a vessel - for your purposes or for theirs."ALT

why should their outcomes be natural and mine obscene !!!!!

Feminists do kill joy in a certain sense: they disturb the very fantasy that happiness can be found in certain places. To kill a fantasy can still kill a feeling. It is not just that feminists might not be happily affected by the objects that are supposed to cause happiness but that their failure to be happy is read as sabotaging the happiness of others. We can consider the relationship between the negativity of the figure of the feminist killjoy and how certain bodies are “encountered” as being negative. Marilyn Frye argues that oppression involves the requirement that you show signs of being happy with the situation in which you find yourself. As she puts it, “It is often a requirement upon oppressed people that we smile and be cheerful. If we comply, we signify our docility and our acquiescence in our situation”. To be oppressed requires you to show signs of happiness, as signs of being or having been adjusted. As a result, for Frye, “anything but the sunniest countenance exposes us to being perceived as mean, bitter, angry or dangerous”. If an oppressed person does not smile or show signs of being happy, then he or she is read as being negative: as angry, hostile, unhappy, and so on. Happiness becomes the expected “default position” for those who are oppressed, such that it comes to define the sphere of neutrality. You are either happy: or you are not.ALT
To leave happiness for life is to become alive to possibility. The concept of feminism as “becoming alive” was crucial to second wave feminism even in the mode of its critique of the happy housewife, which seems at one level to deposit feminist hope in happiness. In The Feminine Mystique, for instance, Friedan recognizes that some women may be happy as housewives—by saying this, she also implies that making women happy is not the point of feminism.ALT

and everyone keeps telling me how happy I must be at last. (excerpt from sara ahmed, the promise of happiness)
