Text of the page (random words):
to protect themselves from the violence of others they are made to appear in the image of criminals as the criminal image is projected onto the victim liberation he implied was not simply political but cultural i tend to read at least one biography a year and like to choose figures i only know surface facts about this is a long book but well worth the read it covers malcolm s early life through his nation of islam days and beyond being able to see all of the moving pieces around his life his family the noi his politics and work as well as to read his speeches is important to see the whole man his power his intelligence his determination as well as his issues 6 the gate to women s country by sheri s tepper science fiction fantasy dystopian feminism ghost of achilles how can i force obedience on this in other times i ve used the fear of death to make a woman bow herself to me if not the fear of her own death then fear for someone else a husband or a child how can i bend this woman to my will ghost of polyxena i think i will not bend iphigenia you see it s as we ve tried to tell you great achilles women are no good to you dead the story centers around a matriarchal society and the world they maintain some of the story s themes are told through a recitation of a retelling of the trojan woman like the quote above 7 split by swati avasthi ya fiction abuse but i m not the one digging her grave i didn t open her hole in the earth when i drove away that night or when i couldn t make her come with us my dad dug it years ago he forced her to lie down in it and kept her there by fear and beatings and when she tried to get out he stomped her back in she has been lying there for twenty five years her muscles have atrophied her joints have stiffened and she can t see anything except him and the tight little space she calls home i don t know how she ll get out i can tug and pull and yank but it won t make any difference she was right she s gotta solve it her own way this is the book i cried the most for in 2015 the story centers around a teenager escaping his abusive father choosing to move in with his estranged brother tw for abuse stalking harassment 8 parable of the sower earthseed 1 by octavia butler dystopian science fiction post apocalyptic every time i understand a little more i wonder why it s taken me so long why there was ever a time when i didn t understand a thing so obvious and real and true i m so sad that it took me so long to finally read this book i couldn t put it down i loved the way religion was treated in the story it s rare to see fiction that shows the community and solace that faith can create the book follows a young woman whose life is torn apart as she crosses the country trying to create the community and home she s always wanted 9 redefining realness my path to womanhood identity love so much more by janet mock autobiography the crux of our conflict lay in the fact that we each couldn t be who we wanted the other to be i was lucky to have seen janet mock speak last year where she read an excerpt of her book her story is heartbreaking and heroic 10 playing the whore the work of sex work by melissa gira grant non fiction to truly confront this type of violence would require us to admit that we permit some violence against women to be committed in order to protect the social and sexual value of other women this year i wanted to learn more about the politics around sex work and i got tons of recommendations for this book the book is an easy read lots of history of sex work and anti sex work legislation understanding the rhetoric around sex trafficking as well as the social justice movement to recognize sex work as work and the workers as people 11 the penelopiad the myth of penelope and odysseus the myths by margaret atwood mythology fantasy feminism water does not resist water flows when you plunge your hand into it all you feel is a caress water is not a solid wall it will not stop you but water always goes where it wants to go and nothing in the end can stand against it water is patient dripping water wears away a stone remember that my child remember you are half water if you can t go through an obstacle go around it water does the penelopiad is a re telling of the odyssey from the viewpoint of penelope wife of odysseus penelope and her murdered maids tell the story of how they survived during odysseus journey and how he punished them for their survival upon his return 12 between the world and me by ta nehisi coates memoir but all our phrasing race relations racial chasm racial justice racial profiling white privilege even white supremacy serves to obscure that racism is a visceral experience that it dislodges brains blocks airways rips muscle extracts organs cracks bones breaks teeth you must never look away from this you must always remember that the sociology the history the economics the graphs the charts the regressions all land with great violence upon the body coates writing is haunting and poetic and powerful it s written as a letter to his teenage son about the world they live in and how best they can actually live in that world you feel coates pain and anger and hope for the future of his son in every paragraph related my favorite books of 2014 the 101 level reader books to help you better understand your biases and the lived experiences of people model view culture social networking as peer surveillance march 23 2015 this piece was originally written for model view culture s surveillance issue in october 2014 tech news articles preach the dangers of sophisticated programs at startups misusing data we give them performing sociological experiments on us or the nsa spying on everything we say and do but those things are barely on my radar as an outspoken queer woman the internet is a terrifying place can i trust myself my friends or my family not to inadvertently harm me through the information shared on social networks what will ill willed colleagues do with that information if and when we unintentionally trip up photo cc by john december filtered i want to tell you the story of how we came to unwittingly self and peer surveil allowing the internet to near simultaneously make our worlds bigger and smaller i know this because it s my story too in 2004 i moved across the country away from everything i d ever known i was in a new city where i knew no one so i turned to the internet as i d done most of my life this was an interesting time for the web sites relying entirely on user generated content were becoming big and would herald in the era we find ourselves in today when i found out about meetup and upcoming i happily told them about all things i was interested in i soon found myself in a community that relished sharing a physical space with internet people and we were drunk on the feeling we took pictures happily tagging them with both our actual and internet names dates events and geolocation data we embraced hashtags not just for events but impromptu collaborative art projects social networks were uncharted territory a make it what you want it to be atmosphere where we were explorers and inventors discovering ways to connect share and feel closer to each other in a way the internet itself became a new friend to me one that wanted to see the whole picture of who i was it wanted to know what music i listened to when i was sad what pictures made me happy and what i wanted out of life i found myself sharing every article i found interesting information on the charities i donated to and what concerts i d be attending in a bizarre sense i felt the more i shared of myself the stronger that relationship could be it seems unimaginably naive to say i didn t realize how all of that information could ever be used against me i remember remarking to people who were dismayed by twitter having made oversharing popular no one will care what i did today a month from now we re living in the moment but a few years provides a wealth of perspective today people constantly exploit little pieces of information from social networks i ve participated in over the years to ddos attack my websites and physically threaten harass and abuse me an obvious example of this is my income which has become nearly fully supported by micro donations from hundreds of people all over the world for quite a long time that income came through a site that advertised exactly how much money i was making and from how many people at first this was a positive thing people could see how much financial support projects like mine received and understand that it wasn t as widely supported as many thought but when i was visibly in the site s leader board and eventually the top person receiving on the site it became a huge problem reddit and hacker news had a field day i d get comments and emails from people claiming my work was panhandling prostitution trickery and theft people berated me if they found out i went to a movie with my partner feeling i was squandering the money i received others who had previously supported me were angry when i wouldn t immediately drop everything i was doing to give them advice because in their eyes i worked for them my ability to maintain a work life separation effectively disappeared having received threats and abuse online i have to take extra steps to protect myself offline i pre emptively tell new acquaintances that they can t post information online about where i am where i m going or who i ll be with for fear of confrontation or worse friends with the best of intentions asking publicly on twitter for me to meet them at a specific place and time means having to decline a lot of invitations it s awkward to explain to people that they may be inadvertently putting you in danger i recently stopped following anyone on twitter and replying sparsely because people graduated from attacking me directly to going after my friends and family to cause me harm i semi jokingly tell people that being near me is risking radiation exposure i ve been blackmailed into giving up relationships and fully living my life for fear of indirectly hurting the people i care about in essence social networks have manipulated the relationships i have with others social networks as a panopticon in the late 18th century the philosopher and social theorist jeremy bentham designed the panopticon a building that allowed a watchman to observe every occupant from one vantage point this led occupants to act as if they were being observed at all times regardless of whether a watchman was in the tower or observing them the mere potential of constant surveillance altered occupant behavior foucault discussed his social theory of panopticism in discipline punish the birth of the prison noting that the occupants of the panopticon are the object of information never a subject in communication and that he who is subjected to a field of visibility and who knows it assumes responsibility for the constraints of power he makes them play spontaneously upon himself he inscribes in himself the power relation in which he simultaneously plays both roles he becomes the principle of his own subjection in the 1970s a piece of software called dialog was designed to replicate the panopticon effect and tested at a large pharmaceutical company as part of a psychology experiment the software allowed workers to not only report the work they were doing but to socialize with peers when users realized the software was allowing management to monitor them continuously many stopped using it others decided to continue raising the question of whether remaining users modified their behavior under the threat of surveillance as prisoners in bentham s panopticon would or whether they believed that the benefits offered by the system outweighed the possibility of punishment photo cc by friman filtered social networks operate in much the same way thanks to open apis and the limited technical talent needed to use them the ability to monitor someone s every activity can be easily automated and analyzed for patterns a few weeks worth of data can give you an idea of when someone leaves for work what coffee shop they stop at in the morning and even what route they drive to get home using additional data something as simple as a selfie it d be easy for a relative stranger to recognize you on the street barring that level of sophistication a simple observer to our online lives can still learn a lot about us i was shocked the first time i met someone and they asked about each of my four cats by name i d willingly put that information out there but i didn t fully comprehend what someone using it would feel like knowing the risks do we alter the way we act within these systems i d argue that too few of us do myself included only after the information i d put out there was used to hurt me did i realize exactly how much i d shared and how difficult it was to get back i don t doubt there are dangers lurking around corners i haven t thought of yet social engineering what allowed all of this to happen how was i so easily fooled into living in the panopticon a shared and interwoven set of tenets between social networks and the people who use them create a variety of subtle pressures photo cc by longitudelatitude filtered tenet 1 well if it s free i guess i ll take two after just a couple years of becoming actively involved in social networks i had a social media list that boasted nearly 30 differentactive profiles i have no idea how many i ve made total but i wasn t concerned it doesn t cost me anything to try a new service i d tell myself i could play around test the boundaries of the system and how it let me interact with people before adding it to my always open tabs list or abandon it completely along with my data that lived there tenet 2 one identity to rule them all and in a closed system bind them coupled closely with the desire to try everything is the compulsion to stake a claim to your identity on every service available in manufacturing the scarcity of things like usernames social networks create an anxiety on the side of the potential user the assumption being that demand will always be higher than the supply so urgency in account creation is required on top of that larger properties have done well for themselves by creating a closed ecosystem to connect them google and facebook are both good examples of this allowing users to connect their email to their social calendars to their social networks to their contacts and so on participation in any of the sub properties requires participation in the main one and encourages staying within the ecosystem by exploiting user laziness tenet 3 public is default it s easy to forget that the idea of privacy controls are a relatively new concept i think the first social network i saw them on was pownce and even then i treated it less as a form of security and more as filling a niche need i could share this post with that set of people and no one else ca...
