Pelicot writes not as victim or survivor but as the site of the crime. It's unlike anything I've read. But the book's formal challenges peculiarities have scarcely been engaged--
Wrote about Gisèle Pelicot's extraordinary memoir and how poorly partially survivor narratives are read. Gift link: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/magaz…

who would have thought that in order to rein in cost blowout to one of australia's shitty fake little state-funded marketised voucher systems of social care, you would have to re-nationalise all or part of that system... who would have thought this....

Sometimes I feel like such a dour feminist when I’m reading - I get frustrated with myself that I can’t put it aside to enjoy a work of art on its own. Reading Stoner I felt a little haunted by the wife and daughters interior perspective, completely hidden from view
memorable portrayal of a time not so long ago in the US when Philip Wylie's "Generation of Vipers" was a part of the Zeitgeist. men didn't obliquely hint that women were the cause of their own failures & women were just plain evil; in those days they came out clearly & unambiguously to state it, restate it, & restate it. this perspective, embedded in "Stoner" like a fossil in a rock.

JCO reminds me the most fun part of being a feminist is getting to be a bitch about things

Hand wringing in the ABC about whether it’s ok to have children in the context of climate change - gives an excruciating amount of air time to the viewpoint “if YOU, personally, like being alive, have you considered it’s only your various privileges that make you think that way?”

Bri actually interviews a lot of smart people who make a compelling case that “having children” and “climate change” don’t really have much to do with one another. But mostly we hear from a suicidal South African professor

Crimes the met police CAN'T solve: -93% of tool thefts -90% of car thefts -82% of burglaries -54% of all crimes -52% of cases where someone shot an officer of the metropolitan police. Crimes the met police CAN solve: The words "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action"
Replying to @metpoliceuk
This is the scene in Parliament Square. Within this crowd a significant number of people are displaying placards expressing support for Palestine Action, which is a proscribed group. Officers have moved in and are making arrests.

In high school a boy on my school bus told me Rooty Hill RSL has its own postcode and I have repeated that fact to people for 15 years. And now I’m finding out it’s NOT true !!

ABC radio this morning was talking about polyamory, and they had some professor talk about how desire to have sex with lots of people is natural and if you feel betrayed by infidelity it’s because you don’t have enough understanding and compassion for this biological reality

The host asked her whether we should govern our whole lives according to our biological reality, and she said we do that every time our tummy rumbles … but food has a lot of ritual, cultural meaning, moral questions we have to engage with as well …
