Hoy hablamos en el deforme de MONSTRUAS… Sí, amigas, aquellas incomprendidas fuertemente ignoradas cuando no reprimidas que de vez en cuando le consiguieron dar una patadita a la sociedad. Aprovechamos la movilización estatal por el derecho a vivienda que hay hoy en todo el Estado y Lucía, que coo es una persona humana necesita un sitio para vivir nos hace un recorrido por aquellas situaciones, trámites y simpáticas trabas que te encuentras a la hora dequeístas se cumpla un derecho reconocido hasta en la Carta de los Derechos de los TeleTubbies… ¿Es este un programa de horror? No lo sabemos, pero John Carpenter nos ha escrito y pedido una copia del programa en laserdisc subtitulada en inglés… Tras estas esclarecedoras revelaciones, en la web de idealistapuntocom Lucia Lijtmaer está declarada persona non grata o terrorista o algo. Block. Report por humanidad. Delete. Isabel ha leído sí: 'Sirenas y otros monstruos' de Jess Zimmerman y nos hace un repaso por esas figuras tan importantes. Empieza en la antigua Grecia y nos trae un catálogo e amigas a tener en cuenta. Y, oh sorpresa: las monturas lo han tenido históricamente bastante más complicado que los monstruos. **Pretends to be shocked in socialdemocracia**. Una completo repaso de nuestras monturas, muchas veces, y en palabras de Isabel: "guerreras de la justicia social" que no te puede perder. Acompáñanos una noche más en tu Deforme. _____________________________________________ Este programa y todo lo demás es posible gracias a personas como tú.

Hej! Dziś w odcinku pojawi się powieść, która bez reszty wciągnęła Elę, ale której sedna nie można zdradzić, by nie zepsuć innym zabawy. To „Anomalia” Hervégo Le Telliera. Posłuchacie więc, jak Ela opowiada o książce „dookoła”, zastanawiając się, jak ją zaszufladkować i jaką rolę odgrywają w niej liczne postaci. Opowie Wam też o spotkaniu z autorem, w którym brała udział! Z kolei Paya ma dla Was dwa zbiory esejów. Jeden poświęcony jest mitologicznym kobietom-potworom, które Jess Zimmerman wykorzystuje, by zrozumieć własne przeżycia i by rozłożyć na części pierwsze pewne stereotypy, które wykorzystywane są, by szufladkować kobiety. Z kolei w drugim Amelia Possanza szuka historii kobiet, które kochały inne kobiety. Te opowieści pomagają jej uporządkować własne życie i opowiedzieć szerszą historię o roli kobiet w sporcie, na scenie czy o ich znaczeniu w epidemii AIDS w latach 80. Zapraszamy do słuchania! Książki, o których mówimy w podkaście: Hervé Le Tellier, „Anomalia”, tłum. Beata Geppert Filtry; Jess Zimmerman, „Kobiety i inne potwory. Tworzenie nowej mitologii”, tłum. Hanna Pustuła-Lewicka, Czarne; Amelia Possanza, „Lesbian Love Story”. Mamy Patronite! Jeżeli chcesz dołączyć do naszego grona Matronek i Patronów, będziemy zaszczycone!

Over the past several years, corporations and entire industries have quickly made statements and some policy changes in response to social and racial justice movements. Those statement and initiatives, however, often exist as feel-good marketing initiatives or sincere efforts with unintended consequences. In her new book “Some of My Best Friends: Essays on Lip Service,” Tajja Isen explores these efforts and the realities they mask and reveal. “[A] stellar debut collection...Some of My Best Friends shows a bracing willingness to tackle sensitive issues that others often sweep under a rug.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Isen scrutinizes society's attempts to bandage over such issues as race and gender inequality in her powerful debut. Isen's voice is both wry and sensitive as she fearlessly lays out the limits of talk in solving inequality; fans of sharp cultural criticism, take note." —Publishers Weekly “Beautifully written, wildly funny, and whip smart, the essays in Some of My Best Friends are among the best I've ever read. Tajja Isen is unafraid to ask deep questions and embrace their messy answers. She's one hell of a writer.” —Kristen Arnett, New York Times bestselling author of Mostly Dead Things and With Teeth “Isen understands that our shared future demands we expose and call out wasted time, hollow gestures, and empty words. Some of My Best Friends is an inspiring, determined work of personal narrative and cultural criticism.” —Saeed Jones, author of How We Fight for Our Lives “The essays in this book dazzle stylistically, thrill intellectually and flip the finger to the many ways North America pretends to talk about racial experiences. Isen is a provocateur of the first order. Her wit and wisdom capture the current moment and soar above it.” —Kamal Al-Solaylee, author of Return and Brown “Sure-footed and illuminating, Some of My Best Friends brilliantly lays bare the lies that accompany some of the most insidious aspects of racism— lip service, pandering, and plausible deniability—and offers a bracing inoculation.” —Jess Zimmerman, author of Women and Other Monsters “Every essay in this collection reminded me of what makes Tajja Isen a must-read writer: her thoughtfulness, her incisive humor, and her deadeye aim. Some of My Best Friends is a genuine pleasure to read and the best kind of intellectual conversation.” —Nicole Chung, author of All You Can Ever Know “Some of My Best Friends is the rare essay collection that feels both modern and timeless. Hilarious and fresh, it's the type of analysis that feels vital and made me go, "Finally!" What a joy to read.” —Sarah Hagi, writer at Gawker "Often hilarious, always thought provoking." — ELLE, Canada --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message
This week, we're discussing Circe by Madeleine Miller and Women and Other Monsters: Building a New Mythology by Jess Zimmerman. Sarah gets mad about how she stopped being mad about the treatment of women. Amelia discusses the shackles of gender and commits a minor act of arson against Sarah's most prized possession (again). We got a little depressed in the middle there, not gonna lie, but I think the discussion was interesting. This episode description is the one thing keeping us from watching the final episodes of Our Flag Means Death.

“Other Music is like a fun, messy library for music. You almost never find what you were looking for, but you always find something you never knew you wanted.” Jaya Saxena was 17 when she was asked to describe her favourite record store in Teen People magazine's Summer Music Special of 2004. Now in her 30s, Jaya is a published author of non-fiction, and a Senior Writer at Eater.com. When I found Jaya, she had forgotten she was in Teen People, so I had to jog her memory with the details. “I was around a lot of adults who worked for these magazines,” she told me, “so I probably did talk to someone.” Jaya spoke with me in October, 2021. She told me about Other Music, her career, and how she's building solidarity with peers in her industry.

Why is Fleur's "Veela blood" both monstrous and eroticized, while Madame Maxine's "Giant blood" only the former? And how do Molly Weasley's fits of anger fit into this feminist reading?Tune in for a powerful new way to read some of the series' most beloved and interesting women characters.Follow Jess Zimmerman on Twitter @j_zimms and scoop her book at any local bookstore or online!

Jess Zimmerman discusses debut essay collection ‘Women and Other Monsters: Building a New Mythology’ (Beacon Press, March 9), “a sparkling and perceptive critique of ancient ideas that still hold women back” (starred review). Then our editors offer reading recommendations for the week, with books by María José Ferrada and María Elena Valdez (trans. by Lawrence Schimel), Margarita Engle, Mark Kurlansky, and Andrea Lee.
Jess Zimmerman is editor-in-chief of Electric Literature. Her new book is Women and Other Monsters.“My goals are to be exactly as vulnerable as I feel is necessary. And not that’s necessary to me—that's necessary to the observer, to the reader. If [my story] is out there, it's out there because in order to make the larger point that I wanted to make … I had to give this level of access. It does kind of feel more strategic than cathartic.” Thanks to Mailchimp for sponsoring this week's episode.

Welcome to Episode 13 where we go off on the popular hashtag #notallmen and what it actually means when it's said in relation to the sharing of womxn's lived experiences. We talk about how using this phrase centres men in womxn's issues (a common tactic of the Patriarchy) and discuss where the phrase is believed to have originated and when it came into popular use. We take a couple detours on this episode, starting our conversation with the Capitol Hill riot and going "off piste" in our main discussion, touching on incels, violence against womxn and how the accessibility of pornography and rampant objectification of womxn in today's society.- Background information on the use of #notallmen- Clementine Ford's May 2018 article for Literary Hub entitled "How Many Ways Can Men Say 'Not All Men'?" which was used in the discussion of how the different ways #notallmen is used in conversation about womxn's issues- Jess Zimmerman's April 2014 article for Time entitled "Not All Men: A Brief History of Every Dude's Favorite Argument" which was used in the discussion of what the use of #notallmen does to a conversation about womxn's issues- Vaishnavi Mohan's May 2020 article for Breakthrough entitled "6 Reasons Why #NOTALLMEN Disrupts the Conversation on Gender Equality" which was used in the discussion about how using #notallmen has a negative impact on gender equality- Please check out our "Feminism 101" suggested reading list here if you're at a loose end for a great read from an incredible female author- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use here

Hello again witches, seekers, and friends, and thanks for tuning in to episode 30 of the fat feminist witch podcast! I am your host Paige, The Fat Feminist Witch, and today I'll be talking about Basic Witches, Sluts, Feminists, and people who just straight up hate fun. This is a witch n bitch episode which means I've also taken a poll from witches online around the world about one of today's topics - do you have to practice magic to be a witch? Today's episode was inspired by the book BASIC WITCHES by Jaya Saxena and Jess Zimmerman, which caused a bit of s stir for being a witch book about witchcraft by non witches about something many don't even consider witchcraft. YEAH. I also mention Witches, Sluts Feminists by Kristen J Solee, as another modern witch book that has recently shone a light on the history of witches and witchcraft and what makes someone a witch, whether they want to be or not. Find out why I gave BASIC WITCHES

Today we go to a future where animal products are banned. It’s one that lots of listeners have asked for so here you go. We talk about what happens to the land, the animals and the humans in this equation. In this episode we discuss the arguments in favor and against banning meat. How does that impact culture? Why should we do it? Does it help or hurt the environment? Can you really grow meat in a lab? And is that meat vegan? First we talked to folks in the “ban the meat” camp. Marta Zaraska, the author of Meathooked: The History and Science of Our 2.5-Million-Year Obsession With Meat, tells us about the evolution of meat consumption and why we don’t actually need meat to survive. Then, David Agranoff, the author of The Vegan Revolution with Zombies, makes the vegan argument. Then we talk about the environmental argument in favor of kicking our global meat habit. And as promised here are the citations for the statistics I talk about. In 2014, the entire world produced 315.3 million tonnes of meat from cows, pigs, chickens and sheep. 1.3 billion tons of grain is consumed by those animals every year as feed. Livestock production uses about a third of the world’s fresh water every year, and contributes about between 14 and 18 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, depending on whose numbers you trust. Fourteen to eighteen percent might not seem like that much, but it is. That’s about the same amount of greenhouse gas emissions that come from the transportation sector every year. And a recent study in Science suggested that increases in livestock farming go hand in hand with decreases in biodiversity. Livestock, both the actual animals and the plants we grow to feed them, also takes up a lot of land. According to the United Nations, twenty six percent of the land on this planet is used for livestock. After that, we hear about why it’s so hard for many people to give up meat, and how culturally important foods can be. To help us with that segment, we talk to Psyche Williams-Forson, a professor of American Studies at the University of Maryland and the author of a book called Building Houses Out of Chicken Legs: Black Women, Food, and Power. Psyche explains why people get so angry and frustrated when you tell them what to eat. Then we hear from listeners about what you think! After the break, we talked about lab grown meat, and whether or not you can grow animal products in the lab. And are those products vegan? Could they be? Researcher Abi Aspen Glencross explains her work on trying to grow steaks in the lab. Then we round out the episode with a surprise guest: my grandma. She grew up on a farm and then farmed sheep until she retired. And she had some very good questions about this future. Flash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth, and is part of the Boing Boing podcast family. The intro music is by Asura and the outtro music is by Broke for Free. Special thanks this week to Caroline Sinders, Jess Zimmerman, Kevin Wojtaszek, and John Olier. The break music is by Black Ant and the episode art is by Matt Lubchansky. That's all for this future!

Today we travel to a future without lies. What would it be like if we all wore accurate lie detectors around all the time? In this episode we talk about when children learn to lie, the different social functions of lying, and what might happen if we couldn’t ever fib. How would negotiations be different? How would we make small talk? Could we create art or music? All that and more in this week’s future. This week’s show features four experts in the different facets of deception. Patti Wood is an expert in detecting non-verbal cues. She told me about her work, and the ways she uses body language to try and tell if someone is lying. Maria Konnikova is a journalist and the author of a book called The Confidence Game, all about con artists and people who are really good at lying. She says that while many of the people her book is about would have been thwarted, there would be serious downsides to not being able to lie to one another. Michael Lewis has studied lying and childhood development for over fifty years, and he says that children learn really early on that lying is something they should be doing. And Andrea Kupfer Schneider is a professor of ethics and dispute resolution at Marquette University Law School. She says that without the ability to lie, negotiations would actually be way better. Right now there are tons of different technologies and methods that try to detect lying, which range from imperfect to totally bogus. According to the American Psychological Association polygraph tests, the lie detector setup you see in movies and TV all the time, don’t accurately tell if someone is lying. There’s also a device called a voice stress analyzer — what it does is listen to your voice and try to detect signs of stress, which suggests that you might not be telling the truth. But according to a study done by the National Institute of Justice, voice stress analyzers are often no better than chance at detecting lies. Of course, that hasn’t stopped some places from using them surreptitiously during phone interviews. There are also all kinds of drugs that attempt to make people tell the truth. These are staples of movies and television shows, but like most things they don't work as well as they do on TV. If you’re interested in the history of lie detectors, check out this book by Ken Alder, which explores not just who invented the polygraph, but the long history of our obsession with finding a biological connection to “the truth.” And if you’re interested in a movie about a world without lies, try The Invention of Lying. Flash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth, and is part of the Boing Boing podcast family. The intro music is by Asura and the outtro music is by Broke for Free. The episode art is by Matt Lubchansky. This week’s future voices were provided by Sarah Werner, Brent Rose, Kirstin Butler, Pablo Meier, Eddie Guimont, Guillermo Herrera, Justin Cameron and Jess Zimmerman, who also suggested this future to us, so thanks Jess!

David speaks with nutritionist Jess Zimmerman about some helpful tips for losing weight for your wedding!
On July 13th, the writer Jess Zimmerman posted "Where's My Cut?": On Unpaid Emotional Labor on The Toast, an essay about how and why emotional work is often undervalued and treated as "women's work". Or, more to the point, not even work: just something women are inherently supposed to do. It's a good piece, and what it spawned was even more interesting: a huge, revelatory MetaFilter thread in which site members, women in particular, talked about all the ways this asymmetry and devaluation of emotional labor has affected their lives and their relationships.The resulting thread was immense, with surprising momentum: while many discussion threads tail off after a day or two, this one kept going for the entire month it was open (MetaFilter threads close after 30 days) and collected upward of 2100 comments by the end, from hundreds of different people. New folks signed up by the dozens to join in; members shared personal revelations, talked about the new vocabulary the discussion was giving them, posted both hopeful and heartbreaking updates about how these ideas were impacting their relationships with spouses, romantic partners, and friends. There were spinoff discussions, especially on Ask MetaFilter where several site members asked about emotional labor in various contexts. And there were even 170 or so comments about a proposed women-only retreat called Crone Island, for which ocherdraco made a travel poster. In this episode, I talk with Jess Zimmerman about her expectations and experiences writing the original piece, the reaction it got on MetaFilter, the collective disservice these gender expectations do both women and men, and some of the ideas that came out of that intense, personal collection of stories in the discussion thread.Helpful LinksPodcast FeedSubscribe with iTunesDirect mp3 download@MefiOOTB on Twitter
