Xiang Jingyu, born on this day in 1895, was one of the earliest female members of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and a pioneer of the women’s movement of China. She was executed by Guomindang police on May 1st, 1928.
Xiang Jingyu was politically radicalized when she attended the Montargis Women’s University in France. While studying there, Jingyu read many of Marx’s works and became a communist.
In 1923, Xiang became editor of a weekly supplement to The Republican Daily, a Guomindang newspaper. The same year Xiang Jingyu was also elected as a Central Committee member and became the first secretary of the “Women’s Movement Committee”.
In 1924, Xiang led a strike involving about ten thousand female workers from silk factories. Then, she founded the “Committee of Women’s Liberation” and trained many female cadres, who then became a force against feudalism and imperialism.
Xiang Jingyu was arrested in the French Concession Sandeli in Wuhan on March 20th, 1928. French officials turned her over to the Guomindang in April. On May 1st, 1928 she was executed.

My goodness have I never been more glad to have had a paper handkerchief shoved in my face as I coughed. Was sitting at my desk eating an apple, and i coughed so hard that a 1/4th of it came back up with some acid. Very, very fun.
Edit: Tried to get a quick 1 hour nap, could not lie down without coughing, attempted multiple times until same result as my apple. It seems this is just gonna be a thing now. Sure, I didn’t need nutrition anyhow.
oh wow, I just found out that Xi Jinping was radicalized on hexbear before he invaded Tibet. pretty fucked up
I have now started involuntarily coughing every few minutes or so. Good thing I bought this box of 100 face masks if I’m gonna go to the store anytime soon.
Socialism if it was
SOCIALISM
IF IT WAS A BEER
a beer
YOOOOO WE FINALLY GOT THE SOCIALISM BEER
no more sad measures walter
You are gonna take that frown of yours, and you are gonna turn it upside down. Understand?
Internet guy did not show up today despite the fact the installation was scheduled

I love Haskell but it’s still absolutely hilarious to me the first thing my lecturer said about it is like “It’s a real programming language, people use it in production. It’s real I tell ya, it’s real!!”
we’re a very defensive people
Hello, I would like to measure the clock cycles and memory usage of one thunk please
Genuinely I do hope you enjoy learning haskell and get a lot out of it, but as far as I’m aware literally the most notable (in terms of real world use) piece of software ever written in it is like, pandoc.
Oh no, I’m well aware
It’s not the main part of the course anyways (to me at least), more the maths and theory
Fredrik Deboer is the guy every lib accuses the online left of being. He’s the actual guy.
apparently he spells his name “Fredrik deBoer”
it bothers me when Americans have Dutch names and decide to do insane shit to it
annoyingly it’s actually closer to how it should be spelled than you usually see but it bothers me more because it’s neither the English nor the Dutch way it should be spelled lmfao
the dutch deserve it tbf
smh totally uncalled for
name one thing we ever did wrong without mentioning Indonesia, Suriname, Guyana, India, South Africa, Ghana, Taiwan, most of the Caribbean, and a bunch more not immediately coming to mind
go ahead you won’t
Blackface Christmas.
I can’t keep up the bit against that
I hate it
I hate it I hate it I hate it
And you get all the fucking chuds whining about “but but what about the children” and “muh traditions” because it’s too much to ask to just not be a fucking racist
Luckily opinion is turning, but the reason for that is the George Floyd protests
It took the fucking murder of a black person for this country to be like “maybe we shouldn’t do the blackface holiday”/rant
bleh
NEW FANTASY IDEA: Ruasian revolution inspired syndicalist fantasy city.
The revolutionaries sold the children of the old King and Queen to the fae in return for freedom from all laws to which they did not agree. ALL laws. The guilds and councils have to do stuff like agree that gravity applies to them, and internal squabbling and politicking can result in changed natural laws as well as import tariffs or legal reforms.
That would be awesome. Maybe people would argue about scientific progress because discovering new laws would start a new struggle session over whether or not the they ought to apply. Discovering Boyle’s law, but somebody has a beef with the syringe manufacturers and starts a campaign to get it revoked.
Differing interest groups trying to sneak amendments into thermodynamics.
The sicko in the corner trying to revoke the law of conservation of mass and energy because it would be funny.
I’m just saying the mason’s guild would like an exemption from the square cube law and a 2% decrease in tariffs on building material.
According to Wikipedia that would make it easier for elephants to stay cool. The masons have the Loxodons in their side on that one.
You would combine the forces of booktok, dark fairy erotica, and leftist twitter. This could be a thing
Lol remember when this place was about to get a stock trading comm because of gamestop hype.
that’s what got c/finance made in record time
went from no interest to comm created in the space of an hour
with beatnik spamming diamond hands at people who said it was cringe lol
I get it, you’re writing fantasy and you want to draw inspiration from historical events. I get it. I get that for a long period of time European royal marriage could get real weird with the age gaps.
But could we do less pedophilia in fantasy please? Like if the point is to do a history based thing it isn’t necessary to describe the 12 year old as hot.
Especially as though elite children were sometimes married young for the purposes of alliances most medieval European people got married in their fucking twenties
Workshopping a new bit: Everybody deserves a person in life who loves them and who is always there for them. If you don’t have a person like that in your life currently, you can be that person for yourself.
(There is no bit. I trolled you into reading my earnestposting. Get rekt lol) 
Great bit
gonna try that one out for sure
Fortunately I am protected by several prophelactic layers of irony at all times
I’ve been watching TLC show recaps and I finally understand reality TV.
I’ve been getting into in-depth conversations with middle aged black women about 90 day fiance and then coming here to yell at landlords.
I want the mail scene from It’s Always Sunny but instead of mail it’s male so Charlie is just ranting about cute guys trying to figure out which one is Pepe Silvia.
“I’ve been dying to talk about the males!”Was out in the sun all day listening to music yesterday. I have a new friend who is younger but hes a good kid and wants to get good like I do. We’ll probably be playing a lot.
We went to the late night pro jam again and I saw my old mentor figure and we had a talk about life. It was so nice to see him and he was so encouraging to me. I didnt get to play at the jam but whatever. I really do not like selfish people, this drummer rubbed me the wrong way too many times.
What I hate about this music is that people with awful personalities and sociopaths very often rise to the top. Despite it being triggering to me, I keep to myself because it’s worse to deal with these guys.
Like its not cool you only stay at a jam session if you know youre going to play. Its also not cool to bum rush the stage and skip the sign up list. Youre only going to piss everyone off. Like I have a whole bunch of drummers I will never sub a gig out too because theyre douchebags.
