By entering In Other Words and/or participating in our events, discussions, and activities (both on the physical space and online), you agree to abide by the following guidelines: This was the unbounded power of eloquence—of words—of burning noble words. There were no practical hints to interrupt the magic current of phrases, unless a kind of note at the foot of the last page, scrawled evidently much later, in an unsteady hand, may be regarded as the exposition of a method. It was very simple, and at the end of that moving appeal to every altruistic sentiment it blazed at you, luminous and terrifying, like a flash of lightning in a serene sky: 'Exterminate all the brutes!'

MiracleWhale posted:Gay Shame SF, an intersectional political action group which is every bit as sane and reasonable as its name suggests, had a stenciling campaign where they spray painted "DIY business is still gentrification" on the sidewalk in front of hip local businesses in the mission neighborhood of SF. hilariously they spray painted this message in front of Modern Times Bookstore which is not only a local DIY business that has been there since the 70s, but is also the place where Gay Shame SF meets, infuriating the owners to the point where they almost got forbidden from returning there. quote:In the service of a complete response, I'm not personally concerned with whether a tactic is perceived as "chickenshit,"which I guess must be the opposite of "brave, strong, fight it out like a man,"or "talk things through and come to a compromise like a mature citizen." One of the strengths of Gay Shame is that we are not afraid of talking about issues that actually matter instead of bowing to the false unity so common in supposed cultures of resistance. As for me personally, I find nothing more horrifying, depressing, alienating or heartbreaking than seeing brilliant, creative and challenging people sucked into a zombified hipster mentality that sees a DIY aesthetic as the alternative to critical engagement. ![]() Back to the BJDs... ![]() ![]() ![]()

Moon Atari posted:I once walked into a strange new age christian bookstore and they reacted as if I had walked broken into their house. I think someone hissed at me. In London, ages ago, I walked into a storefront sporting huge signs about a "free personality test and free book" or whatever and the very nice people gave me a form where I ticked boxes and then they gave me a copy of Ron L. Hubbard's "Dianetics" book and sent me on my merry way. I was 13 years old at the time and just visiting London from Finland and spending a day touristing around some shops, so I'm hoping you can forgive me for being a retard. For about twenty years, I poo poo you not, I was sent the quite hilarious Scientology Newsletter to the absurdly misspelled address printed on the envelope. I must give proper cudos to the Finnish Postal Service for 20 years of deciphering what "20 Waseus Place" actually meant and redirecting it to a proper address. I have moved a few times since then, so I don't know if it's still being sent there, but I do miss those lovely offers of paying £12.000 for a weekend camp that would "enlighten me" and "raise my level" or whatnot.

I'd like to think a feminist bookstore would be a good place for getting scholarly anthropology books on women's issues, but I know that it's probably all self-published garbage and weirdo Green Party stuff, just like every other indie bookstore.

Question: What is everyone's stance on New Age Bookstore? I think they are interesting because there are lot of books about kundalini and goddess power, and sex tantra and Native American shamanism and Wiccan stuff. The people in there are stoned or eating shrooms and super laid back and believe anything about everything. The whole place smells like nice incense and scented candles. As a kid, I enjoyed looking at the stickers with my cousin while my aunt shopped for her weird books.

Have a business trip to Portland this upcoming Monday. I've thought about stopping by the feminist bookstore. Powell's is cool and all but I've been there enough.

I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless shelves of books Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk microaggressions lie, ableism, Lack of safe space, and lack of my pronouns, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Feminist Book Shop; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Capitalism is bad, but begging people to give you money so you can stay failing in business is fine. But wait--where does that money really come from? Is it all donations, all the way down? is there a chain of donors giving to each other freely so that the others may survive? Or does capitalism--evil, masculine capitalism--thrust its way into the pure ring of donation, forever bloodying it with the force of its power? What if this is really the case, and not immaculate donation? Aroused to fury by this chain of thought, the Feminist Bookstore began devouring the capitalists who sullied her floors.

Does rape culture/toxic masculinty/privledge exist. of course it loving does. but these shitheads arnt suffering from it all. Like i dont get it. you can be socially progressive/leftist as gently caress and not come off as loving cult memeber. but that seems to be their MO.

Through yellow smoke whirling into light Buildings split, bridges collapsed Crowded trams burnt as they rolled about Portland, all full of boundless heaps of embers Soon after, skin dangling like rags With hands on breasts Treading upon the spilt brains Wearing shreds of burnt cloth round their loins There came numberless lines of the naked All fleeing The Feminist Bookstore from Portlandia

All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Ahab, were visibly personified, and made practically assailable in the feminist bookstore from Portlandia.
