Just to spell it out, when you posit a racist position as an option in an opt-in poll for entertainment, you're normalising it as an option.

Should New Zealand also ban racist hate-mongering polls? YES | NO

Bloody hell sorting out bookshelves is a lot of work though (librarians may eyeroll here)

J says that third one is "very Stephanie-specific"

2nd shelves: 1) Politics 2) Feminism 3) Literary theory => Lovecraft => German/English dictionaries 4) Misc reference 5) Cooking & crafts

Oh gods I forgot crafts & cookbooks

The real problem is I have no idea how they'll all fit on the remaining shelf space

1st shelf down, half remaining books sorted into: feminism / politics / Germanic language / classics / literary theory / reference / sci fi

Decided today was the day to reorganise all the bookshelves. Now doubting myself ... this is… https://www.instagram.com/p/BPGvDOWDFBC/ 

This seems a good moment to log off Twitter, eat lunch, watch TV, generally anything that doesn't involve reading about Trump's ... foibles.

Look at who is responding to eight years of National government by saying "we need to be more like them to win".

Then look at who's spending all their time saying "we would totally win if women and queers and brown people would shut up, you know"

My response is: look @ who's actually pushing leftwing issues. Look at who's addressing inequality & challenging power & changing the system

But now it's framed as "the identity politics debate" as though ID pol, not the narrow-mindedness of the ~conservative~ left, is the problem

And we've had to point out that our struggles against oppression & violence are not "special", they're CORE to the struggle against capital
