versobooks.comInvolutionChina’s hypercompetitive job market is stunting and distorting the lives of an entire generation. Forced into a cutthroat doom loop, the people interviewed in Involution highlight how they are pitted against their colleagues, assigned pointless or impossible tasks, and warped by hostile environments.

@mskellymhayes.bsky.socialReposted by @letahongfincher.bsky.socialSome of the escalations we're seeing, including the attack on Ilhan Omar's home (I will not pretend this act was "investigatory"), are desperate acts. But we must remember that desperate people can be very dangerous. A domestic abuse victim, for example, is in the most danger when trying to leave.
@ilhanmn.bsky.socialReposted by @letahongfincher.bsky.socialI’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.
@ecmclaughlin.bsky.socialReposted by @letahongfincher.bsky.socialNotably, this is the same team that was hired to destroy Amber Heard in her lawsuit against Johnny Depp. If you fell for it, well, you were a mark.

@rebeccasolnit.bsky.socialReposted by @letahongfincher.bsky.socialMaybe time for those who don't experience this directly to return to this thread (which I posted when PTSD was being weaponized to relieve Graham Platner of responsibility for his actions).

@annehelen.bsky.socialReposted by @letahongfincher.bsky.socialThis is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7:
thecut.comWhat It Feels Like at Cornell Right NowAs a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.
@kattenbarge.bsky.socialReposted by @letahongfincher.bsky.socialA truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system
@moiradonegan.bsky.socialReposted by @letahongfincher.bsky.socialIf you’re interested in gender violence at universities, my favorite book on it is A Survivor’s Education by Joy Neumeyer, which looks at the Title IX process both as a system of political repression and as a way of revoking women’s epistemic authority. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/joy-n...

@lindseyboylan.bsky.socialReposted by @letahongfincher.bsky.socialThis man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.
