Lovers of Human Flesh: Homosexuality and Cannibalism in Melville’s Novels [Caleb Crain, American Literature, 1994]
the most sordid aspect of FIDE banning trans women from chess competitions is that in the previous weeks there seems to have been a reckoning in terms of sexual abusers still being allowed in chess competitions and many women (including multiple trans women) spoke up and were fighting about it. and FIDE's response was to call trans women the greatest threat to women's chess which is so telling lmaoooooo
it was literally initiated two weeks before by an open letter first signed by 14 female chess players in france (including yosha iglesias, a trans woman) and that has now been signed by more than a hundred of them. a shitton of people responded by claiming they were infected by "wokism" and "gender ideology" for pointing out sexual violence and misogyny in the chess world. FIDE responded on august 11 claiming to be against sexual violence and misogyny..... and then banned trans women four days later, to the acclaim of transmisogynists who didn't actually give a shit about sexual violence or misogyny in chess lmao. this edict has also absolutely fucked over yosha iglesias, already the victim of horrifying harassment over speaking out about sexual violence at all, and now doubly so over the fact that she is unsure she can even participate in the french women's tournament which is days away. it's calculated and cruel in ways i can barely stand.

I am so isolated from the insidious stuff that I always find the slow creep of the jokes funny but they start to itch something at me eventually. I think girl dinner is hilarious BECAUSE it’s so ridiculous but most people don’t take it that way (off tumblr) and then it starts to make me feel icky to joke about it at all and oh my god I’m just ducking down hiding from these reels

not "I hate it here" as in "I want to leave" but "I hate it here" as in "this is a list of the 50 counties in the whole united states with the lowest life expectancy and Kentucky is 14 of them"
this was jumping off from recent kentuckyposting, but if you're american this list should radicalize you. It's just a parade of the evils of this nation
The US county with the lowest average life expectancy (as of 2014) is Oglala Lakota County, South Dakota. It is a Native American reservation with a 92.9% Native American population. The average life expectancy there is 66.81 years.
If it were a country, it would rank below 150th in worldwide average life expectancy.
The second county on the list is Union County, Florida, at 67.57 years. It has a high prison population—one-third of the county's population is incarcerated.
The list is dominated from there on by Native American reservations, counties in Mississippi with a 70%+ Black population, and Eastern Kentucky and West Virginia coal country.
I think game studios should just release their character creators online. For the times when I don’t wanna play the whole game, just the lil dress up part
