There is a book cover and an official title for the #Newsies book, and I am so incredibly delighted!!! ❤️ Preorder links should be available very soon, and I will share those as soon as I can.
A preorder link is live! 😊 If you would like the book and can preorder, that is a *huge* help, but if you can't, I completely get that. The best thing you can do in that case is request that your university or local library orders a copy - that helps sales, too! mcfarlandbooks.com/product/news...

They made "spinster" into a misogynistic slur; a spinster was a woman who was financially independent because she was good enough at making cloth and clothing that she didn't have to submit to the patriarchal construct of marriage.
it's worse than that: the machines could crank out a larger volume of shittier cloth *and* didn't require a lot of training to operate
so instead of paying the same workers the same price for more cloth, they got a bunch of orphaned kids to work the machines

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

My mom and my aunts sewed a panel for my uncle when he died. I've had the chance to see parts of the quilt in person, the most recently was in Toronto in 2006, and it is such a beautiful tribute, seeing the art and love that surrounded each person, which is what also makes it so devastating.

Yeah, one of the many nightmare scenarios facing us is that a badly led and mostly destroyed intelligence infrastructure fails to prevent a major terrorist attack and that attack is then used as justification to speed up the fascism.
I do in fact stay awake at night sometimes thinking about how the MAGA ghouls are destroying actually-essential counterterrorism efforts in favor of directing resources towards brutalizing elderly taco truck workers
NEW: Oregon could lose nearly $18 million worth of terrorism prevention and emergency funding.
In the past, the money has paid for bomb detectors, law enforcement training and barriers that prevent cars from plowing into crowds.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.
Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.

Great to see a non-LGBTQ publication cover why the UK's proposed policy is a disaster for everyone.
I have a new piece in Central Bylines on the danger of basing policy on appearance, the wider push to restore a restrictive approach to gender, and what that means for women's rights and society as a whole. centralbylines.co.uk/society/more...
More than meets the eye: sex, gender and dangerous women
Labour's unworkable approach to policing gender means trouble for everyone – which is exactly what the real enemies of women's rights want
