Sara Ahmed in 2015:
“Whenever people keep being given a platform to say they have no platform, or whenever people speak endlessly about being silenced, you not only have a performative contradiction; you are witnessing a mechanism of power. I often describe diversity work as mechanical work. We know a lot about the mechanisms of power when we try to transform the norms embedded in a situation. The power of some to determine the discourse is often upheld by being concealed or denied. We need as feminists to offer some counter explanations of what is going on than the explanations offered by this letter. The narrative of “being silenced” has become a mechanism for enabling and distributing some forms of expression. Indeed I would even argue that the narrative of being silenced from speaking has become an incitement to speak: it incites the very thing it claims is being stopped.”

“The Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group, pledged allegiance to President Donald Trump on Tuesday night after he told the group to "stand back and stand by" during the evening's debate. Many people on social media who identify with the group echoed that language, saying they were “standing down and standing by.” One known social media account for the group made “Stand back. Stand by” part of its new logo.”

this is so much more vital now

rowling is a person who can sell conservative messages to people who regard themselves as liberal

that makes her extremely valuable to certain parties

which is why she is so well defended

I don't know that I'd agree anything Amazon provides is essential - I deleted my account quite some time ago.

trans people in the uk have gone through years of media-fuelled hell because the tories set up a public consultation on gra reform, only to be stabbed in the back by the tories, but it's jk rowling the billionaire author everyone is asked to feel sorry for because people pointed out her exploiting and smearing trans people as a way to sell more of her shitty books was a transphobic thing to do

and they wonder why we say fuck cis people
