you can discuss the problems within academia literally forever and you probably should but “historians are trying to keep information from you” is always going to be an anti-intellectual, reactionary opinion, sorry, literally no way around that

Eman Abdelrahman, @emiiii980, (#213) is a 25 year old Sudanese who has tragically lost her home when the RSF has bombed it on June 24th, 2023. Not only she has lost the place she has grown up in, but her younger brother has been martyred. Grieving over the loss, Eman and her family moved into her relatives' house, but they could not support her, so she decides to rebuild her home!

In May 2024, she has brought 20K bricks, a refrigerator, and kitchen utensils. Unfortunately, the city Eman and her family intend to move in has been bombed by the RSF! Then, in July, the situation has gotten worse. The RSF closes in on Eman's location, so she needs to evacuate ASAP! Eman has been asking for our help, but donations would trickle in little by little or stop completely.

Now we are in November. The window to evacuate has diminished all because the Sudanese pound has inflated. So we are back to square one again. Eman wants to rebuild her house once again! So let's help her achieve the short-term goal of 37K in the next 3 days! 36,007 CHF has been raised. There is 1,993 CHF left to go!

My friend has given 5 CHF, and you can match her! But you are more than welcome to give more. You can also participate in the book raffle hosted by @/magnus-rhymes-with-swagness if you show your proof of donation!

(Make sure to pay attention to currency exchange! $10 USD = 8 CHF!)

the fucked up and unhealthy nature of greek myths is a feature, not a bug. if you’re going to engage with greek myths you need to be prepared to engage with fucked up narratives at face value. send post

i need everyone to know that community is what will save us all in every single way imaginable. you forming a bond with your neighbour or coworker might help them move house or feel less alone or have the courage to leave an unhealthy living environment. you helping a stranger might provide them with hope. in turn, being able to lean on your community in times of need will save you. your broader bonds with your community are the revolution we need. our society seeks to divide and separate us in so many ways but we are all so much more united in our struggles and joys than you are made to believe. we need to hold onto each other very tightly.

the destiel meme was fun when it happened and for like two months after that now it just rings like you can't 1) grow up 2) get a fucking grip 3) respect the people affected by serious real life events

so a lot of ideological tradwives pursue the line of argument that feminism denigrates traditionally womens work (i.e. housekeeping, childrearing) by suggesting that feminists want to push all women to do "men's work" and dismiss the value of mothers and homemakers.

setting aside the obvious untruth of this- feminists have always been the strongest fighters for recognising the worth of womens work- its interesting when juxtaposed with the tradwife line that retiring from paid employment and settling into domestic life is relaxing, natural, and suitable for womens more delicate selves. they suggest that feminism pushes women to run themselves ragged rather than living a relaxed existence at home, cared for by their husbands.

but this itself is rooted in the devaluing of domestic labour, because it understands it as easy, simple, and fundamentally Not Real Work. its an important part of the tradwife project to glorify homemaking while also denying its difficulty, to promise women they will be valued in their domestic role while stripping away recognition of that value. its not an original observation that tradwife influencers often live in massive sparkling homes clearly cared for by domestic servants while they show off their hobbies, but its important to note this is not only a way to attract viewers to an idealised vision but also a systematic tactic to devalue the real worth of domestic labour
