Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

I finished THE WAX CHILD by @olgaravn.bsky.social earlier this week (tr. Martin Aitken, published by @ndbooks.bsky.social) Such a strange & beautifully crafted tale. Also a book that lends itself to going down many rabbit holes.

In the above conversation, ‘The Fisherwoman's Daughter’ by Ursula K. Le Guin and ‘Variations on the Right to Remain Silent’ by Anne Carson are mentioned which inspired me to pull a few books off my shelf.

DANCING AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD by Ursula K. Le Guin

This conversation between Olga & @davidnaimon.bsky.social is FABULOUS!! Explores how witch hunts & trials were important to creating the notion of state, family & self that we still live under today; folk magic & alchemy; animating the archive thru ritual & imagination.
