The local places are out of the blade steel I like, but there's a place in the US that stocks it. Shipping is a pain in the arse, but it's flat rate so it becomes reasonable if i order a few meters...

I was thinking the other day how police forces in western societies are an example of scope creep. Which causes a lot of problems
They started as a way of recovering stolen property*, and additional duties have been added on over the last few hundred years

Having people trained to turn up to accidents and organise things is probably useful, but they don't need guns or powers to arrest people
Our current society needs people trained in de-escalating family violence situations, but that needs a specific set of values that police aren't chosen for
Likewise with detective stuff

If you listen to them police officers don't become cops to do a lot of this public service stuff and resent having to do it. I think people who are willing to do that stuff are discouraged because they don't want to be cops

Anyway, that's why the organisation needs to be scrapped and anything important reorganised

*I should explicitly note that the concept of property here often included slaves

I think it's really important for us trans women, especially us white ones, to learn about how womanhood has been used in other systems of oppression. The roles of white women in upholding white supremacy, richer women in class structures.
These are patterns of behaviour that I don't think we should recreate

We come to womanhood from a different place to cis women. This gives us a different perspective to build from in finding better ways to be women
I've heard multiple cis women talk about learning about womanhood from the trans women in their lives

Basically if you're a white trans woman look up some Black women's critiques of white womanhood and ask yourself if you really want to do that shit

(taken from somewhere else that also took the idea from somewhere)

So we have sisyphean tasks and herculean tasks, which suggests there should be some others
Cassandrean task: it'll obviously end in tears but no one believes you
Pandorean task: it'll cause all sorts of problems but you do it anyway
Sapphean task: sweet mother, you're too gay and cannot do it

Not really sure how to photograph the detail in this wood. There'll be a lot of sanding once the oil dries

Hmm, looks like COVID directly killed 3x as many people as vehicle accidents in Australia in 2023
So I guess we can conclude road deaths are over and I can go do wheelies!

I post cats on facebook and get a bunch of responses
I post stuff about Palestine on facebook, and there's nothing

Now, I know it's not because my friends don't care. I've seen occasional post by them about it, and I know one of the people NSW cops arrested over the weekend. Seems like the conclusion is discussion of genocide is being suppressed
(given what happened in Myanmar...)

People's overuse of the word "love" is really tedious. You all use it to the point of meaninglessness.
It's just useless, vague language

RE that last boost on transphobia and focus on gametes
There is also that patriarchy explicitly tries to control reproduction. "Females" are property that bear children, so obviously they have to define "male" and "female" in ways that reflect that power structure.

Hence why they are worried about trans masc people becoming sterile, but worried about trans fems having access to women
