The answers we seek aren't always the answers we want, are they? But knowing the truth is what helps us sleep at night.

Of course I'm not saying all trans people are predators. I'm a straight female and I know not all men are predators. But I also know that all a predator wants is access, and to open the doors of changing rooms, rape centers, domestic violence centers- to open the door to any man who says, 'I am a woman, I have a right to be here,' It will endanger women and girls. It's with no pleasure that I say this has happened. Karen White, a man in England, used a trans persona to violently attack and rape women in a female jail. He had not physically transitioned. Predators can and will exploit any loophole that they can. And for someone growing up during the rise of British feminism, TERF sounds like just another way to silence women. People like to say it's not 'up for debate,' the stock phrase, 'no debate.' That alarms me. I can't think of anything more authoritarian than, 'no debate.' In fact, that is the argument of the fundamentalists: 'I am righteous, I don't have to explain my righteousness. And I am entitled, therefore, to bully you, to harass you, to silence you, to take away your livelihood, all the way to attacking you. Like when Dr. Erica Anderson, a trans clinical psychologist, voiced her criticism and was herself shut down, or Maya Forstater, a researcher who was fired because of her critical thoughts on the issue. Because of things like this, people are terrified of speaking up. I joined the public conversation because I saw women being shut down. It seemed there was always a way to shut down womens' voices. There are tons of women who are forced to not speak because they literally won't make rent. I wanted to speak earlier than I did, but there were women begging me not to, as they saw what happened to other public figures. But I feel a sense of moral obligation to speak, especially for the women who don't have the insulation I am privileged to have. The attempt to intimidate and silence me is meant to serve as a warning to other women. I've written a whole series of books that had a central theme about bullying behavior and how authoritarianism is of one of the worst social ills perpetuated on people. And I feel protective of those people. If there is one thing I stand against more than any other, in my books and in my life, it's authoritarianism - and that cuts through all political persuasians.

Drawings from a character set I made for @cookieclover's birthday last year! This one was all about Kita with a mini cameo from Karen; both characters based on her cats.

The House on Tradd Street (Tradd Street, #1) by Karen White

Oh my GOSH did this book crack me up. I couldn't get over the fact that this book is basically a romance novel with a ghost. I was absolutely delighted, because that wasn't at all what I expected when I started reading this book (I think I got the title from a Twitter ask of "what is a favorite spooky read?" thread.) White tells a story that keeps you interested, and her tone was very similar to Janet Evanovich, who I also love for a good laugh and a cool woman protagonist.

If you want to read more spooky books but don't like scary, this is definitely a book for you; if you're an Evanovich fan but wish Stephanie Plum was ever up against ghosts, you'll also like this read. I plan on seeking out more in the series.

L'ululato

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo deciso di rimanere negli anni ’70 e parlare di un altro grande regista, Martin Scorsese, e di farlo con un film che ha posto le basi non solo per il suo tipo di cinema ma anche per il cinema americano da lì in poi, Mean Streets. La storia è ambientata a Little Italy e vede numerosi protagonisti, in primis Charlie Cappa, nipote…
