If you’re feminists then why does your username refer to you as a derogatory term for women that men use as a slur?

Great question! It's because we're taking the word back. We're reclaiming "bitch" for our own purpose. And by taking it back, we remove its ability to hurt us.

Many intelligent, talented, strong, compassionate, confident, capable women have been called "bitches" in the history of the world. So if it describes them, then we're bitches too!

We call ourselves bitches BECAUSE we're feminists, not in spite of our feminism.

I encourage you to read up on the practice of reclaiming words. It is a powerful tool against oppression. Even so, reclaiming is a lengthy process, and the word will remain controversial to some for a time. So if it bothers you that we call ourselves the Bitches and we use "bitch" in a positive way here on our platform, then feel free to just go away!

We wrote more about why we chose our name here:

awesome to see starfarers openly criticize america every chance it gets but some of this is too uncannily on the nose for current events

the taonui and nanaue comic was amazinggg i love seeing them actually depicted as kānaka and the whole time they spent together felt so safe and peaceful, and the ocean as a space for queer wondering and longing was so!!! it was so good i donʻt even have words to describe it, it aches so sweetly

anyway between the comic and your work with nonwhite queer literature, you might be the only people i know of interested in this book i have, Masquerade: Queer Poetry in America to the End of World War II by Jim Elledge, which includes a lot of indigenous and specifically hawaiian poetry (modern and precolonial). afaik its open access in a lot places so getting a pdf is really easy. but one of the poems in is a celebration chant translated from ʻolelo, a shark hula for Ka-lani-ʻōpuʻu, which made me think of your portrayal of nanaue as an anti-colonial queer kupua. the shark hula opens with:

Ka-lani-ʻōpuʻu, the right to impose the kapu on the land is yours: the right of a shark with arched dorsal fin to bare teeth

Thank you so much! Aah, everyone's kind words have really motivated me to get through the Superboy stuff.

Oh my gosh I found the pdf and what a treasure! I'm gonna sink my teeth into this collection omg, the annotations are so helpful too uhuhu

The Shark Hula for Ka-lani-ʻōpuʻu even ends with a mention of the 'ahu 'ula feather cloak! The stars,,,, they're aligning,,,

Just discovered the term les4les. Are we really trying to make biphobia cool again

Actually I think we should all collectively work harder at misunderstanding TLoZ canon and simping for Ganondorf and I'm not even kidding.

got an e-mail from my old supervisor after what seems like hundred years today!

I shouldn't get my hopes up. definitely shouldn't.

...but maybe... just maybe... there *might* be a small possibility of an article...

it Sucks that the dudebros are obsessed with the implication because it would be such a fun thing to say whilst interpreting subtext like guys… the implication….. nice little fun comment wink wink reference but instead you just come across as a misogynist

tell me why seneca's letters are giving me obikin feels. letter 34 ('on a promising pupil'): '...what do you think happens to those who have reared genius and suddenly see the minds they shaped from a tender age as mature? I claim you as my own; you are my masterpiece. [...] Do you know whom I call good? The perfect, complete man whom no force, no imperative can make do evil. I look to you as this person' i can't.

Someone on Twitter was like if the us empire dies you’ll die and I just laughed because we’d actually on the contrast, be free. like I really encourage non native people to become familiar with the fact the US is supplemented to feed us and take care of us and that the empire acts as an obstacle between you and the land .
