Cfp: Postdigital Feminisms: Platformed-Lives, Labour, Intimacies, and Activism

'Although the early twenty-first century fuelled #feminist-hopes that the Internet would revolutionise #women and #girls lives, #digital #platforms have not necessarily helped society to cast-off the shackles of patriarchy. A #cyberfeminist utopia has been replaced by digital #labour practices, both paid and unpaid, that remain acutely gendered. While networked #intimacies, desires, and #sexualities have proliferated, creating radical potential, they have also generated #bigbusiness for the #technology companies that mediatize and profit from forms of gender-based #violence and objectification...'

straight people were very body judgemental - penis length and slim bodies were their primary concerns. While queer people were more body positive and far less judgemental on penis (a few size queens).

We asked a non-binary person to review the new JK Rowling book. They had a lot to say

If you thought JK Rowling’s previous book in her Cormoran Strike series was an unsubtle nod to anti-trans bigotry, the latest instalment really said: “Hold my beer.”
