I don't support England, but them winning the Euros after the Labour win would go a long way to convincing everyone that things are looking up

sometimes I get a fly in my apartment and it follows me from one room to the other and I whisper to it "are you my familiar" and then after a couple of days of me talking to it, it dies and I feel lonely

playing Ana well in Overwatch is such a satisfying feeling. Her skill ceiling feels so high that you are aware of how you are doing well but also how much better you could be

these results are almost as good as could be hoped for. Tories vanquished, Labour taken to task by British Muslims for their moral cowardice, unexpected Green victories, and the far right limited to 4 seats!!

exactly!! and that we should study gender by looking at the hole that it leaves (again trauma) rather than, necessarily, how people enact it because those acts are coerced

ooh yeah I'd be interested to know!! but exactly all of these unifying categories can and should be exploded because they are repressive. Im super interested in the relationship between trauma and repression is producing our idea of "woman" or "human" rather than using them to bring us all together

right, the whole "trauma" and "healing" and "the body keeps the score" thing is propping up an ideal of shared humanism that is kind of everywhere at the moment based in pop neuroscience which we know is only ever part of a story in which our selves are constructed

because at the end of the day, trauma is entirely to do with injurability and we know that that is gendered and raced and classed so it has never made sense to me to treat trauma as a flat, shared category

sorry to hop into another thread, but I think about this a lot too. I think there's some new stuff in psychoanalysis about "traumatogenesis" like the power of trauma to shape identity in very culturally specific ways

oh it's such a weak case imo like there are things to be cautious of in that book but I never took anyone seriously who said it was apologia. like you do have to be willing to put up with some friction/conflict to be in community
