Ah thanks, I’d love to see this exhibition but probably won’t make it to London anytime soon.
For those who do, and dare I say, they should avoid flying and come by train - the British Library is just a quick stroll from King’s Cross and St Pancras (the latter the Eurostar terminal), and a visit to the “Treasures Gallery” is a very nice way to spend some buffer time when arriving or leaving by Eurostar.

Putin is trying very hard to bring back Stalinism without even the fig leaf of communism.

Stalin wanted an USSR with at least the same territory the Russian Empire had before WW I/the revolution/the civil war/Versailles. Ask Poland, the Baltic states, Ukraine, a couple of -stans…

That’s what astonishes me still about the anti-trans manufactured panic: the script is the same as the anti-gay manufactured panic, with a search/replace for “gay” to “trans”.

Yeah, it’s exactly the same.
And yet, some cis queer people appear to believe that if they throw trans folks under the bus, the right-wingers won’t somehow turn on them in an instant.

And that is the part that just baffles me. It is so obvious to everyone that the fascists are not friends to the LGB community, any more than to the T part. It’s a strategy to divide and conquer, and taking the smallest and least powerful component first only makes good sense. Anyone in the gay community who supports the fascists is supporting their own death warrent.

I’m sure they will be very surprised by the ungratefulness of the leopards, when they are being loaded into the boxcars bound for the camps.

Scholars Thought White Women Were Passive Enslavers. They Were Wrong.
For generations, scholars argued that white women were rarely involved in the active buying and selling of Black people. A growing body of research says otherwise.
