"This International Women’s Day we call on all who identify as feminists to engage in the lifelong unlearning of their biases and to be in solidarity with Palestinian women, Sudanese women, Congolese women who are experiencing an ongoing genocide." from The Slow Factory, 08/Mar/2024: caption cont. under images.

In Palestine, more than 9,000 women have been brutally killed by the Israeli Occupation. 63 women killed per day.

In Sudan, 4 million Sudanese women & girls are at risk of sexual violence.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, more than 1 million women have been survivors of sexual violence.

In Turtle Island aka the so called USA, 94% of fatal violence committed again Trans people are committed against Trans women.

This isn’t about the stats, the poverty porn or the constant shock doctrine the West desperately needs in order to be inclusive. This is a call for solidarity and collective action.

Access to feminine hygiene products, bodily autonomy and the access to necessary safe and caring spaces as women are all human rights.

Internet Archive finds #001: Hacking the Xbox, An introduction to Reverse Engineering by Andrew "Bunnie" Huang. (full read)

"In the beginning, a hacker was someone who worked passionately for the sake of curiosity and exploration. There were hardware hackers who took it upon themselves to remove the covers from computers to optimize their design (early computers were built out of discrete components, so they could be modified in meaningful ways with simple tools), and there were software hackers who labored to make the most compact and elegant code, since computational resources were scarce and slow. There were hackers who explored the ins and outs of the phone system, and those who explored the roofs and tunnels of buildings of university campuses. Quite often, early hackers engaged in all of these activities. Hackers would share their findings or results (hacks) with each other freely, as their rewards were not financial, but came from satisfying their intellectual curiosity and from the enthusiasm of their peers." - Andrew "bunnie" Huang.

Interesting thought from a friend:

Jail breaking. Reverse engineering. Without these we wouldn’t have emulation which is kinda saving a lot of peoples childhoods seeing as actual physical copies are skyrocketing in the retro gaming market. People are afraid physical media is going to completely phase out because everything’s going digital. So people are taking advantage of the market in some arguably bullshit ways. Ya know business. -Xora March 2024

Thinking about the fact that Ford was the one to take down Maligula

“Within patriarchal culture, the girl who does not feel loved in her family of origin is given another chance to prove her worth when she is encouraged to seek love from males. Schoolgirl crushes, mad obsessions, compulsive longings for male attention and approval indicate that she is rightly pursuing her gendered destiny, on the road to becoming the female who can be nothing without a man. Whether she is heterosexual or homosexual, the extent to which she yearns for patriarchal approval will determine whether she is worthy to be loved. This is the emotional uncertainty that haunts the lives of all females in patriarchal culture. From the start, then, females are confused about the nature of love. Socialized in the false assumption that we will find love in the place where femaleness is deemed unworthy and consistently devalued, we learn early to pretend that love matters more than anything, when in actuality we know that what matters most, even in the wake of feminist movement, is patriarchal approval.”

When the Orchestral murders of Hong Kong drug lords are linked to a commando group known as squad 701, its up to a one time super soldier known as Black Mask to stop their plan in this action packed martial arts blow-out.

Backstory: My parents and grandparents own all kinds of vinyl VHS and DVDs, So I decided to virtually archive some of them along with some other things we have here in storage. I have a lot fond memories watching Martial Arts Films with my grandmother so these films have a soft place in my heart. As a Person of Color I found that martial arts has a very soft spot in our communities. Constantly being revisited over and over in movies, music videos, anime, and art. It seems we find kinship in the idea of overcoming an oppressive force (for obvious reasons). You definitely can't fight the evil regime without a martial arts scene.
