Hiratsuka Raichō, born on this day in 1886, was an anarchist writer, journalist, political activist, and pioneering Japanese feminist. Her efforts helped legalize Japanese women joining political organizations in 1922.

Upon graduating from university, Hiratsuka founded Japan's first all-women literary magazine, Seitō (青鞜, literally "Bluestocking"), in 1911.

Hiratsuka began the first issue with the words, "In the beginning, woman was the sun", a reference to the Shinto goddess Amaterasu, and to the spiritual independence which women had lost. Adopting the pen name "Raichō" ("Thunderbird"), she began to call for a women's spiritual revolution.

Hiratsuka also founded the New Women's Association with fellow women's rights activist Ichikawa Fusae. It was largely through this group's efforts that the Article 5 of the Police Security Regulations, which barred women from joining political organizations and holding or attending political meetings, was overturned in 1922.

Imagine being born a girl, and everyone around you, including your school, is telling you "your entire goal is to get married and serve some dude his entire life".

I would be the most red feminist alive if that shit was pushed on me.

I regularly think about how fucking pissed off I would be if I was a girl. I'm pissed of about it already and I am sadness not even a girl

every right-wing propaganda film stars:

  • white guy main character. good looking in a generic way.
  • black man side character. exists solely to tell the white guy he's right. will never be the main character.
  • white guy's family. exist solely to express concern for white guy's wellbeing, or be put in vague threat from transgender gay abortion doctors.
  • stupid liberal villain. hates god and christians, either converts to christianity or dies in the end.

  • Blue hair protagonist
  • Woman
  • Woman (gay)

Hexbear is the leftist version of stormfront. These people want a second holocaust in Israel. They created a closed off community that has essentially become a transgender Marxist cult. They justity everything evil that might tangentially benefit the left because it's funny to them to push the envelope. Russian invasion of Ukraine, cute. The Hamas terrorist attack on October 7th, justified. They love Muslims until you bring up China putting them in internment camps then their 2010 Reddit Atheism surpasses their love for Islam which is hypocritical when they are all fucking gay. Hexbear has no morals, I don't know if they are actually trying to be evil. You literally cannot say death to America and have that mean anything peaceful. This site is trouble for the wider Lemmy community and does not speak for the entire left.

Lemmitors make some of the funniest taglines

My professor is forcing me to use AI for some of my assignments that have nothing to do with AI. He thinks that AI use will be essential for writing papers in the future hence I need to learn how to use it.

Most of my classmates use it for all their assignments and when I read their stuff it’s so noticeably AI written based on the generic sentence structure and unnecessary filler words. It feels like it just makes everything worse but my professor & classmates make me feel like I’m just not adjusting well to the new technology.

Don't. The technology just isn't there. And I'm not even sure the incentive to improve it is quite there either.

Never going to go to an urgent care to get tested for Covid again. Got a bill of a bit more than $200 for doing a simple rapid test. We had been buying in home tests for $10, but I didn't want to waste too many and wanted to just check with a doctor if I'd be fine to go to work. I should have known betterbuggy-disappointed

lol Elon is already doing sketchy twitter files type stuff. He’s using discoveries from pre existing internal fraud detection units (and successful prosecutions they’ve had) to claim he’s discovered fraud. No these are just the fraud protection methods already in place. This shit is so dumb.

Thinking back to an episode of work stoppage podcast wherein an interview with an Amazon driver was talking about how it's crazy to have someone deliver 300 packages a day as a pace and that being a top line reason they were fighting for a union.

Anyway they gave me 400 packages today lol

Recently saw a woman a had a crush on like 10+ years ago. I'm really embarrassed that my type was someone who was upper middle class. (No I didn't know that was my type, but basically it's what I was looking for.)

The ruling class after keeping you away from jobs, putting you in debt just to get what is basically a permission slip to work that doesn't even get you work 99% of the time, forcing you in a shitty boonie town where you're forced to drive a car and forced to insure it and pay gas on it AND have to pay rent.

I hate Austin. Shit city. If Elon musk was a city he would be Austin. If the cybertruck was a city it would be Austin.

Tech Bros ruined Austin. It was a good city once.

It is cruel and inhumane

I finally beat the Outer Wilds dlc. Made me cry like a baby. Didn't realize it was the end, took a second to really sink in. Most emotional game I've played since Disco Elysium. Even the vaguest discussion of it would be massive spoilers, so just go play the game.

Now I'm looking for a new exploration game to tide me over until Subnautica 2. Might check out Pacific Drive, though it didn't seem as cozy.
