It's the one-year birthday of my first and last book, and while it was not the smash hit that I wanted, I do regularly get messages from people saying it saved their life—which isn't as good as fame and fortune, but it's still pretty nice.
If you or someone you love has struggled with drinking, it might help.

Total Woman Victory Volume 2 Issue 2: Written by the Body is OUT NOW! 🔗 below!
“Written by the Body” is Part 2 of two issues exploring the female body as a historical forefront of feminist analysis. This issue takes up the body as a central battlefield in the sex contradiction: the disorientation and pain of beauty rituals, the cultural torment of sexual initiation, the systemic violence of medical malpractice and infrastructural misogyny, the devastations of eating and reproductive disorders, the coercion of sterilization and forced birth, rape and wife battering, the scrutiny of evolutionary examinations of the female body, and the endless forms of torture and commodification inflicted on women. At the same time, it foregrounds women’s refusal—the resistance, defiance, and collective struggle against the appropriation and manipulation of our bodies.

I don’t even know how we begin to fix the nihilism and sadism problems in the US culture.

Susan Brownmiller, author of the game-changer, “Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape” died yesterday, aged 90. I met her a few times, and was always staggered by her feminist intellect and commitment. Her contribution to the women's liberation movement is immeasurable.

Gotta stop them from killing the Postal Service, for many reasons. UPS / Fedex won't deliver to remote rural houses; people without mobility depend on it, and so do small businesses like my Veleda Press; not everyone does internet (and by the way we gotta stop them from making all federal services net-based).

I am so very lucky to have great endorsements for my forthcoming book. This, from @Martina, makes me so proud. I will never forget what she did for young lesbians (like me) in the 1980s, when we were being vilified and abused. She gave us hope, and pride:

Charisse Shumate (pictured) was a freedom fighter and a founder of CCWP (California Coalition for Women Prisoners) who died due to medical neglect on August 4, 2001 while incarcerated at CCWF. The prison system is killing women suffering from cancer, lupus, and other serious diseases, by systematiclly denying them medical care, as they groan in pain in their cells. The death penalty by other means. This too is patriarchy, racialized to an extreme degree.

Right now the prisons are being ravaged by extreme heat and by covid. Death traps, no remedies.

A most interesting letter about trans-rights activism from April 1998 in a feminist publication, "off our backs," which ceased publication in 2008. Thanks to the person who sent it.

Dale Spender, author and feminist died earlier this week. Her sister, Lynne Spender wrote this obituary which highlights her achievements, struggles and great wit. She is greatly missed by all of us who knew her over many years.

"'Men can be women’ is such an audacious claim that it could only come from men who are models of male entitlement."
