#theory of appropriatism

[gravityr00m]

[introvertedlass]

I love that you've created a safe space for people to come and vent if they need to.

I'm very disappointed in Chris. I never bought into that whole real-life Disney Prince image that Disney, Marvel, and his PR team tried and succeeded with the General Public to believe, I didn't believe it, but I never thought he would be this horrible. He's almost the absolute scum of the earth. The absolute scum of the earth is the former 45th president. Or as l like to call him orange 💩.

I knew he wasn't a true activist, I knew he wasn't perfect but I didn't think he was a person who would allow an anti-Semitic, fat shamer, body shamer, nazi lover, nazi sympathizer, cultural appropriater into his life, much less a group of those type of people and then turn around and marry a person like that.

The thing that makes me angry is how he has disrespected his fans. Respect is what he owes his fans. Respect is what all high-profile people (actors,pro athletes, etc.) owe their fans. He has chosen to be disrespectful to his fans by having his PR team, himself, and his family run with the narrative that all of his fans are crazy and unhinged when, in reality, it's a small portion of fans that fit the narrative that he, his family and PR team have been pushing.

At this point, it doesn't matter if it's real, PR, taxi cab theory, or booty call gone wrong. His behavior is inexcusable as well as his attitude towards his fans. WOC and Hspanic/ Latino women have supported him, but as the truth comes out about AB, because it will, there are too many screenshots of her and her friends' SM that show the kind of people they are he will lose more fans and nothing, no amount of cute Dodger photos will bring back the fans he has lost, the ones he is currently losing, and that is on him. He chose to associate himself with her and her friends. He chose to marry her. We, his fans, are people too, and we don't have to support him or his bad behavior. He is now a racist in my book because he chose to marry one. He's an anti-Semitic and a nazi sympathizer because he chose to marry one. He supports fat shaming, cultural appropriation, and body shaming because he chose to marry someone who does all three.

I haven't watched Ghosted, nor will I watch it. I will not be supporting any of his projects from now on. I can't be a fan of his anymore.

I know I'm rambling, but I just needed to get this of my chest.

Sorry Anon. This is quite late. I hope you are feeling better now.

Just decided to reblog this with some updated information from the reblogs: Leslie Fienberg actually goes by she/zie her/hir now. I believe she's still trans, but those are now hir's pronouns. (I think I worded that correctly)

I also noticed some notes in the reblogs that included some noteworthy additions:

Different regions use language differently.

Some cishet spaces still use the term "butch", particularly in the UK. Not sure about other terms.

We should be careful not to look at historical language through a modern lens. Sometimes the different values clash. A theory is that trans and nb people were still viewed through their assigned gender at birth so that's why it was used? Though I haven't seen any evidence of this.

I also have my own thoughts on the subject:

A thing I've personally noticed is that trans men who desire to ID as lesbian tend to have already been part of the sapphic community(ies). I just don't see this so much as "a man wanting to be a lesbian" as much as a person not wanting to leave a community they were a part of and label they were proud of.

The people in the notes calling the ask gross need to stop. Even if you disagree with many people in this thread and think that trans men can't be lesbians (I don't consider myself qualified to make a judgement on the subject.) this person is obviously in distress and is concerned with their own identity. They and their inquiry are not "gross". If I had come here as a newly found LGBT+ person and thought that I wasn't allowed to bring up certain concerns with my identity without being considered gross for, what, daring to be a transman still feeling comfortable with the lesbian label in this person's case? I'd've left and never looked back. I'd be under the impression that me being confused about thing I'm insecure about concerning my identity would inevitabl6 leave me viewed just as disgusting as I felt growing up in a conservative household as an LGBT person. I mean, dear God gouls and fools sometimes trans and nb people still hold connections and relationships to their sex assigned at birth and don't want to completely sperate themselves from every single part of it. Not all trans people want to be exact copies of their cis counterparts. Sometimes LGBT people get confused and contradictory and lost, and you know what? They're usually scared, and how dare you mock or turn your nose up at someone in your community asking for help because they're confused. Jesus fucking Christ on a Roman torture stick.

As far as trans exclusionaries calling lesbians attracted to trans women bisexuals or calling trans men lesbians; The entire point is to not let trans exclusionists define terms not explicitly owned by them.

Sidenote: Trans exlusionist radical feminism appropriaters don't say "Bisexual lesbian", if anything they tend to find it offensive. They just decide for you if you're lesbian or bisexual by their standards.

Quite frankly, trans exclusionist are gonna find any way to use trans & nb's actions and behaviour against them. Remember how many of them call feminine trans women "men performing femininity" and then say masculine or even androgenous trans women "aren't even trying to pretend"? Often one right after another? You're not gonna win playing a rigged game. You can't play chess with someone throwing the chess pieces into a wood chipper only to turn right around and use the wood to drive a stake through you.

Ok so I like boys and I might be a trans dude but I’m really attracted to the lesbian label idk why but aaa isnsuhsuwnsus Idk what to do what is wrong with me please help me

I have the same problem with the term ‘butch’, I really like it but I’m not a lesbian so I can’t exactly use it

so instead I just call myself a sparrow stag (meaning a sorta low-maintenance masculine nb)

Unnatural History - who Joyce *really* is...

From a little-viewed thread posted to rec.arts.drwho by Stephen Graves on September 15, 1999:

Right. The obvious explanation is that Joyce is the Doctor’s father, as portrayed by Sean Connery. That theory adds up quite nicely - his backstory matches that of the Doctor’s father in the Nth Doctor script "The Time of My Life," and his name - Joyce - is a play on Ulysses (the Doctor’f father in the Fathers and Brothers script), written by James *Joyce*. That’s all very well - Joyce may well be the Doctor’s father, but I think there’s a little more to it than that…

Firstly, he says that he isn’t a Time Lord, "though I have had some dealings with them in the past." The Doctor’s father, assuming he has one, *must* be a Time Lord. Fact. Then there’s the Doctor’s little memory on p.168, where he recalls both being a Loomling, and having a father. I’ll come back to this later.

Most of this comes from Chapter 17 - on p. 218, Joyce says to Sam "In the end all that matters is who’s responsible for what you do next. And it had better be you." What happens next, of course, is that Dark Sam throws herself into the scar, creating Blonde Sam in a paradox. You can probably see where I’m leading with this, but I’ll give you the rest of the evidence anyway.

At the end of Chapter 17, when Joyce is talking to Griffin, he says "The Advanced Research Project’s grants to your Society are contingent upon you providing us with appropriat biological data from your expeditions." And what do Faction Paradox’s rituals run on? Biodata - biological data.

I mean, it’s pretty obvious that Faction Paradox wouldn’t trust the child - a junior Little Brother - with such an important task as that which he had to perform in San Francisco. So, they discreetly observed him using Joyce, and he, in turn, took care of the *really* important stuff behind the kid’s back.

Wait, there’s more. Assuming Joyce *is* the Doctor’s father, that memory on p.168 takes on a new significance - the Doctor has both a father, Joyce, and yet he’s also Loomed. Isn’t that a paradox? :-)

Finally, there’s one other significant little detail. When Sam first meets Joyce, she notices that he’s got a tattoo, which he’s tried to remove without much success. Grandfather Paradox, in Alien Bodies, is supposed to have a tattoo which he removed by cutting off his own arm. Now, we all thought that was a reference to the Third Doctor’s tattoo, but what if it was meant to be Joyce, at some point in his future? Hmm…

I might sound dense but I'm actually just curious, so please dont take this as me being flippant! I have identified as a witch because I believe in the power of the universe and nature and worship that power as my "god" figure. I am white and have had to seperate myself from a very religious upbringing. I don't want to be just another "appropriater" or disrespectful but do want to continue calling myself a witch because its the only belief system I've been able to agree with. Words of advice?

I mean, generally being a witch means you're a person who practices magic in some form. Just going off of that, I'm not sure you're a witch so much as you are just a spiritual person? Witches can be any religion or spirituality too or co-practice multiple things (ex i mainly follow Cree spirituality but I'm also a worshiper of Freyja), so there's not really a concrete set of universal beliefs that all witches have in order for you to "agree with" like you say, and identify yourself as a witch. But so far, just based on this alone, it doesnt necessarily sound inherently appropriative, but I'm giving you the benefit of doubt. And there's nothing wrong with having your own belief system

But if being appropriative is what you're worried about, then I'd say stay away from closed religions. Dont try to contact spirits from that religion, take part in ceremonies of that religions, etc. These things cant be divorced from their original contexts, so dont be pulling random beliefs from different things that you see just because you in theory believe they exist somewhere in the world. Myself, for example, I know spirits from different Native cultures are real, but I dont try to pray to them or interact with them because they're not part of my culture.

But otherwise idk just be respectful?

Hi. How do you explain gender to Minky? My (presumably) son is 3 and has started saying he is a big girl (he's just moved to a big bed, toilet trained. It comes up in the context that he's proud of not being a baby). I don't correct him but he's 3 so asks why a lot. So I'm waiting for a question aboutabout why is a boy a boy etc. I won't use stereotypes and now I'm worried about explaining t on sex as well. Just wondering how you tackled that in an age appropriat manner? Thanks!

From what I know about child development and theories on when kids start to develop an internal sense of gender most kiddos seem to start figuring this stuff out between about age 3-5. Some of that may just be about language articulation, but it’s also just an age range where sorting and categories are really important for kids so I think you’re right in expecting that he’s going to start asking those “why” questions about gender himself.

Sex, gender, and sexuality are all pretty complex concepts. And I would argue that many adults don’t understand them well, but I think they can all be explained to kids in ways that are age appropriate and still nuanced. I’ve had plenty of these conversations over the years with Minky ranging from simple to complex, so hopefully I can offer a little insight.

A good starting point might be What Makes a Baby. It’s an excellent overview of...what makes a baby, and a good entry to talk about bodies and chromosomes (without being gendered or stereotypical in its descriptions) - which can then lead into a conversation about how doctors assign a sex to us. The social part of sex/gender is a little more complicated but you can talk about how different people feel and understand gender differently. I always talk to Minky about how I don’t feel like a boy, and sometimes we talk about different people he knows or characters in books and ask those sorts of questions. Introducing Teddy gets at that self-identity piece pretty well, but frequently I just ask him - what do you feel like? And then we talk about how that fits in to our world and how there are certain things that are easier or more challenging for boys and girls and everyone else. Often the conversations are just spurred by something that comes up (ie. we had a conversation about fathers on father’s day and why I don’t identify as a dad). And we’ve frequently discussed some of the gendered stereotypes and issues of sexism (obviously at a level he can understand and grasp).What I think is most interesting is that often the “why” questions kids ask about gender get at exactly the sort of really complicated issues. And when we’re struggling with answers it’s precisely because these things aren’t as simple or fixed as we want them to be. Why do many girls have long hair? Why have all our presidents been men? Why do we think pink is a “girl” color? etc. etc. That’s fantastic.More than anything else, continue to foster that curiosity!

Easy to understand even when you aren't a math whiz The title is scary, but I think you'll especially appreciate this text if you're not that great at math. Good explanations of the "whys" in finance for managers. I knew this subject was coming up in my Project Management masters and also knew I wasn't ready for it! Instead of a 6-week course at the local high school, I took an honest-to-goodness college course that used this book. Go to Amazon

Great book, with very good examples Great book, with very good examples. Some problems a little difficult to follow at times but this is not the kind of book you read for pleasure. You have to dedicate time to understanding each chapter before you began working on the problems. It'll take you some 3 to 5 months to go through the whole book depending on the time you dedicate to it. Go to Amazon

Good book about managerial finance in more basic terms I am using this book in my certificate program class in finance and have found the book quite understandable. A lot of finance books get too much into the theory but this book is quite good at keeping it short and to the point without a lot of the random "finance" jargon. If you are exploring a career in Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A), this is a pretty good book. Go to Amazon

Text Bood This book is very organized and offers links to a Web page that provides wonderful templates and additional information to supplement the book. This text is written in clear prose with examples that further enforce the concepts. I learned a great deal about the world of financial management and would recommend to anyone who is working in business finance. Go to Amazon

Finance majors Excellent and appropriat for the class study as required.Shipping and delivery on time. In reguards to your class requirements, no need to go anywhere else.Product delivered ahead of schedule and in excellent condition.If you are into finance as a major then this is a requirement. Go to Amazon

Great Author, Simple Read I have had many finance text books, but this one seems to explain these somewhat dry, abstract concepts in lay men terms making it fairly simple to understand not only the concepts, but how to put these concepts together and into practice. I would surely recommend this text to anyone seeking to learn finance. Great for the beginner! Go to Amazon

Five Stars Great book Go to Amazon

great price this book is a previous edition of book required for my managerial finance course, and guess what... they are exactly the same except for the fact that homework problems at the end of the chapter are flip-flopped even that they are exactly the same.... just proves that releasing new edition is not for good of student but for financial gain of author and publisher. Go to Amazon

Five Stars Five Stars Five Stars Five Stars Five Stars Five Stars Five Stars Four Stars Great Condition nice, short to the punch

Like Joyce, Stephen Dedalus is an appropriater of words; unlike Chandler, Stephen is very much aware of what he is doing. Sometimes he calls attention to his source, as in Scylla, where ,he cites "a saying of Goethe's which Mr Magee likes to quote. Beware of what you wish for in youth because you will get it in middle life" (9.450-52); elsewhere, he does not disclose his source, for example in Telemachus, when he adapts one of Oscar Wilde's aphorisms in his description of Irish art as "the cracked lookingglass of a servant" (1.146).(18) Stephen engages in two pieces of writing in Ulysses, both of them plagiaristic to some degree: his vampire poem adapts lines from Douglas Hyde and his telegram to Mulligan quotes George Meredith without attribution. I don't want to get bogged down with questions of Stephen's maturity as a poet; let's just say that he is clearly intelligent, well read, and talented, but that, not having written Dubliners or Portrait, he is not quite the Joyce who wrote him into Ulysses. Yet he is on his way, and one mark of his Joyceness is his casual and creative appropriation of other people's words. Ireland, he will tell Leopold Bloom, is important because it belongs to him, and a similar claim might well be made about his semantic environment--about words that are ultimately important because they belong, or can be made to belong, to him.

"After God," according to Dumas pere (or fils), "Shakespeare has created most" (9.1028-29). Joyce's claim was not that he had created so much, but that Dublin could be recreated from his works. Ulysses displays at times such fidelity to historical reality that its ventures into pure fiction seem an aberration. It is hardly surprising to discover that Ruby: the Pride of the Ring is based on a real novel (although one that went undiscovered for decades until Mary Power found it); what is surprising, and perhaps even a little disappointing, is that neither Sweets of Sin nor "Matcham's Masterstroke" has been located, although Kenner has at least published another masterpiece by Philip Beaufoy.(19)

It is Beaufoy, that master of the cliche, who first accuses Bloom of plagiarism, in Circe (15.822); later the same accusation is leveled by Lenehan (15.1734). The first charge follows Bloom's claim to be an "author-journalist" who is "bringing out a collection of prize stories"; the second follows Bloom's adaptation of Lenehan's riddle. Both times might be regarded as Joyce's response to charges that he was not an original writer but someone who merely reshaped or repackaged others' material: a plagiarist, in short. The plagiarism theme becomes even more overt in Finnegans Wake, but it is worth pausing over these two passages from Circe, the only occurrences of the word "plagiarist" in any of Joyce's works, apart from puns in the Wake.

One thing we might note is that both Beaufoy and Lenehan are at least as vulnerable as Bloom to charges of plagiarism: Beaufoy writes formula fiction not much better than The Bridges of Madison County, while Lenehan is just as parasitic with respect to words as he is in other ways. We might also note that in Calypso, after reading "Matcham's Masterstroke" in the outhouse, Bloom dismisses that story's literary qualities while envying its financial success; he then thinks of a story he might write, based on what Molly says in the morning. Again in Eumaeus, Bloom will speculate on "whether he might meet with anything approaching the same luck as Mr Philip Beaufoy ... suppose he were to pen something out of the common groove ... at the rate of one guinea per column. My Experiences, let us say, in a Cabman's Shelter" (16.1228-31). The story Bloom imagines writing sounds more Joycean than Beaufoyish, since it would be based on the world around him, not on the formulas of popular fiction; he envies Beaufoy's ability to command the princely sum of one guinea per column for his work but does not plan to follow his example in other ways.

The charges of plagiarism in Circe have another function, traceable to the romantic belief that since the work of art ideally expresses and epitomizes the artist's identity it should be original, spontaneous, unique. A plagiarist, then, is someone who takes over and claims another person's identity--that is, another writer's work. A plagiarist is the mirror image of a writer who adopts a pseudonym, as Bloom does when he writes to Martha Clifford under the name Henry Flower, for the plagiarist and the pseudonymous writer both assume an identity they do not possess: one falsely claims a work and the other a name, but at heart each is a thief of words.(20) Looking back briefly at "A Little Cloud," we might recall that Chandler, who is an unconscious plagiarist (although he skips writing the poems and goes directly to plagiarizing reviews), also imagines using his mother's maiden name to make himself seem more Irish, a tactic calculated to appeal to "the English critics." His willingness to adopt a different name and his desire to fit into the English stereotype of an Irish poet both testify to his lack of any identity of his own.

Of all chapters in Ulysses Circe is the one most pervasively concerned with constructions of identity, and therefore one where issues of plagiarism logically arise. It is useful to place the charges of plagiarism in context. Beaufoy's accusation comes after Bloom is stopped by the watch, who demand his "name and address" (15.718). Claiming first to be "Dr Bloom, Leopold, dental surgeon," Bloom then presents a card that identifies him as Henry Flower. The scene becomes increasingly absurd as Bloom "produces from his heartpocket a crumpled yellow flower," which he says is "the flower in question," adding, "You know that old joke, rose of Castile. Bloom. The change of name. Virag" (15.733-41). When Martha Clifford appears and asks Henry Flower to clear her name, Bloom calls it a case of "mistaken identity." In this scene, which abounds in references to false or mistaken identity, it is appropriate that Bloom would claim to be a writer and would in turn be denounced by Philip Beaufoy, whose own name, we might note in passing, is in all likelihood a pseudonym.

The second accusation, by Lenehan, comes after Bloom's role as municipal reformer draws both praise and disparagement, perhaps reflecting on some level Bloom's desire to propagate his ideas and his belief that if he does so he will be attacked. When Nosey Flynn asks Bloom to sing a song Bloom obliges him, leading Hoppy Holohan and Paddy Leonard to react in very different ways: Holohan says, admiringly, "Good old Bloom! There's nobody like him after all," but Leonard yells, "Stage Irishman!" (15.1726-29). Either Bloom is unique ("There's nobody like him after all") or he is a stereotype, a stage Irishman. Throughout Circe, and in fact throughout Ulysses, Joyce tries to balance the general and the particular, recurrence and originality: Bloom is (and is not) one of a kind, just as this day is and is not typical, he is and is not Jewish, the book's action is and is not like that of the Odyssey. In Finnegans Wake, Joyce will explore the implications of recurrence and difference with respect both to identity and to writing or narration; here the charge of plagiarism, coming just after the opposing views of Bloom's identity, states the connection between writing and identity very neatly. It is also interesting that this is not Bloom's first appropriation of Lenehan's Rose of Castille riddle, since he connected it to his own name changes in the passage cited earlier, shortly before being accused by Beaufoy of plagiarism. Once again, Bloom's name changes and plagiarism are associated with one another as variations on the theme of false identity.

Questions of identity and originality spill over into Eumaeus and Ithaca. Of the book's twenty occurrences of the word "original," it is worth noting, six occur in Eumaeus and two in Ithaca; the word disappears when we reach Penelope. Even more strikingly, of all forms of the word "origin"--origin, original, originality, originally, originals, and originating--there are a total of 34 instances in Ulysses, including six in Eumaeus and fifteen in Ithaca.(21) Most of the usages of "original" earlier in the novel are unrelated to questions of artistic originality: in general they refer either to original sin or to the "original" language from which something has been translated. When we reach Eumaeus, all of this changes: most of the occurrences of "original" in this episode deal either directly or indirectly with questions of literary or artistic origins. The first case, Bloom's attempt to get back to his "original point" (16.778), seems an exception until we note that it leads into Bloom's theory about the origin of Biblical proof of God's existence: "My belief is, to tell you the candid truth, that those bits were genuine forgeries all of them put in by monks most probably or it's the big question of our national poet over again, who precisely wrote them like Hamlet and Bacon" (16.78083). Note that Bloom has just cast doubt on the authorship of the most canonical of all works, the Bible and Shakespeare's plays. The phrase "original point" resurfaces later, this time in truncated form ("reverting to the original"), as Bloom offers the example of those who worked their way up by "sheer force of natural genius," a term that carries associations with artistic genius even if Bloom simply means native intelligence.

Other instances in Eumaeus are more directly connected with the concept of originality. When talk drifts to a shipwreck we are told that it was commemorated in "a fine piece of original verse of distinctive merit" by Albert William Quill (16.910-11). There was such a poem published in the Irish Times in 1896, but if there is any "distinctive merit" to the poem it is not apparent from the passages quoted by Weldon Thornton.(22) Stephen's attempt "to be original on the spur of the moment" by asking why the chairs are put on the tables at night (16.1708-10) is perhaps less than Bloom might have expected from the professor and poet he has rescued from Nighttown, but of course the point here is that Bloom's faith in the originality of poets is being held up to question. The other two uses of "original" deal with non-literary arts: sculpture (Bloom thinks or says that a statue would give a better impression of Molly's curves than we get from a photograph, since "Marble could give the original" [16.1451-52]) and music (Bloom imagines that "original music ... different from the conventional rut, would rapidly have a great vogue as it would be a decided novelty for Dublin's musical world" [16.184850]).

Why so much emphasis on originality in Eumaeus? To begin with, we might note that this is one of the most pervasively original chapters in Ulysses, one so original in its fundamental technique that several generations of readers found the style boring and thought the point was that because the characters are tired, so was the language. It is true that the language of Eumaeus is hackneyed, but this is a kind of inspired, triumphant banality whose only rival in modern literature is the dialogue in Waiting for Godot. Mark Osteen observes that the Nostos section of Ulysses, beginning with Eumaeus, involves a concern "with origins and originality" and "expose[s] tensions in the concepts of originality, genuineness, ownership, and value upon which the economies of money and realism are founded."(23) The cliche-ridden style of Eumaeus is a sort of debased currency, yet one that is strangely vibrant, as if. Joyce set out to show that the most unoriginal expressions could be used in an original manner.
