Culture LGBT au Wikiconcours

Liked Culture LGBT au Wikiconcours by Léna (Commonists)

Au début, je suis très ambitieuse : je me dis que je vais non seulement travailler sur culture LGBT, mais sur d’autres articles tels que la littérature lesbienne. Je commence par faire une cartographie de correspondance entre les différents ouvrages de référence et les articles à enrichir ou créer et papillonne allègrement entre les différents niveaux de focus : culture LGBT, littérature lesbienne, littérature LGBT, littérature trans, LGBT dans les littératures de l’imaginaire…

Comme d’habitude, Léna a des bonnes choses à raconter, et elle les raconte bien. Un article de blog que je recommande, sur le thème de Wikipédia surtout et des cultures LGBT un peu. La semaine prochaine, c’est moi qui prendrai le relais : je fais partie du jury de cette édition, et je vous raconterai…

Plateformisme : unir les gauches en les divisant ?

Watched

Quelques notes personnelles, en français, sur cette vidéo en anglais. En bref : Au lieu de se perdre en grands débats, faisons plein de petits groupes dédiés à des objectifs précis et permettons-leur de travailler ensemble. La gauche devrait avoir un mélange sain d’électoralisme et d’action directe. Elle est extrêmement divisée, et on ne peut…

On a related note, when I browse from someone’s blog over to their Substack it feels like going from a sweet little neighborhood into a staid corporate park. A little piece of joy dies in me when that happens because it’s another reminder of the corporatization of the web.

Blogs just have a different, personal vibe to ’em and it’s a reminder of why they’re so cool.

Schuss

Read Schuss by E.J. Noyes

Stacey Evans wants only one thing: to be the best alpine ski racer she can be. Everything else—like her sweet and ultra-supportive best friend, and hot-but-vapid girlfriend—is just a bonus. Fresh from a medal at her first Olympics, Stacey knows she can only get better and is firmly focused on the future, and totally not thinking about how she’s kind of a little in love with that sweet, ultra-supportive best friend…

Gemma Archer has had a crush on Stacey from the moment she first saw her, but being her best friend is so amazing that she’s almost managed to push that crush aside. Almost. But even if Gemma finds the courage to tell Stacey how she really feels, there’s a mountain of obstacles to overcome—like the fact that Gemma’s stepmom is Stacey’s coach (awkward) and Gemma will be going away to college in a few months. And most importantly…what if admitting how she feels ruins the best friendship she’s ever had?

I will have forgotten this book in 3 days but had a great time reading it. I do hope the author got paid by atomic. If not, maybe the sponsoring shtick could have been anonymized a bit, because that was A LOT. Also, I don’t think the story would have needed any major changes with…
