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.

Americans: “we are reactionaries and we are sooooo oppressed! Sometimes we have to hear ideas that challenge my base assumptions and that’s sooooo annoying! No one will ever understand my pain!”

Donald Trump: “Hey uh, my fellow porks? Could you please drop all the goody two-shoes crap like black history month? It makes the American people very uncomfortable and we wouldn’t want to see their self-esteem lowered. Pretty please?”

Silicon Valley: “Ok.”

So much for being persecuted.

Is it sus if a place has over 60 5 star reviews and zero others on google maps? thinking-about-it and they’re not on yelp at all (I know it’s not as reliable, but it seems weird). And they use a yahoo email address in the current year

My gamer conspiracy theory is that Microsoft pushes devs of Game Pass games to do these premium editions with 5-day early access and no working anti-piracy measures, to get the gamers to buy Game Pass but pirate the game so M$ gets to keep the money.

GTA IV: The Lost and Damned is... okay? I don't really like any of the characters and the missions aren't amazing either. Niko was a much more enjoyable protagonist, flaws and all. I appreciate the more serious tone of GTA IV and "realistic" driving, and since I normally reluctantly end up agreeing with "elitists" on gaming takes, but I don't think I'll end up replaying IV.

lol enjoying that it looks worse. Like once’s the fever dream aspect of it is gone it’s just bland. There is no longer anything interesting to look at. Not yearning for AI generated videos of two years ago, but interesting nonsense is always better than just bland hyper realism.
