there are entire segments of the “left” that see trans women as their political enemies when worldwide, some of the most destitute and exploited people under patriarchy and imperialism, are trans women, who are disproportionately stuck in the sex trade, homelessness and poverty.

how does SCOTUS type out there needs to be an “increase the domestic supply of infants” and at no point among several different people does anyone say, “Ya know…. this is weird af. We’re weird af for this.”

so it’s safe to say we’ve reached the “infants are part of the supply chain” stage of capitalism…

Who Was Helen Keller: Her Passions and Interests

Welcome to part two of my mini-series on Helen Keller. I took a Disability in Literature class in Spring 2022 that focused heavily on her legacy.

In Part One, I explain the tools and accommodations Keller needed to navigate the world as a Deaf-blind woman.

In Part Three I will discuss the controversies you stumble upon when you research Helen Keller.

In this class I’ve learned that the idea we have of who Helen Keller was is not entirely accurate. A lot of people either see her only as the seven year old at the water pump, a scene made famous by the film The Miracle Worker. Or, they see her as this elderly woman who could do no wrong and only wanted to help others, that is the image the American Foundation for the Blind and other similar charities and organizations popularized.

There is about fifty years of interesting content lost in that disconnect and I’m going to bring some of it back. Helen Keller was a writer, a socialist, a suffragette, a dog-lover, a nature enthusiast, and a performer.

I’m going to show you pictures from her life and give you samples of her writing and let you hear her voice.

Excellent, accessible information about her as an actual person beyond the typical portrayal.
