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.

Trying to explain to my family that being unemployed is the greatest time of my life
They don’t call it Funemployment for nothing
It got super foggy on my drive as soon as I hit the costal side of the hills but then the road takes you up over the fog line and I got this amazing view of it from above. The ocean is pretty nice too, if hard to see. Gonna head out to the redwoods now and then head back home before dark.
Shitty internet out here so ill upload pics later.
If communism doesn’t work explain the cold war eyebrow gap?

I touched grill today and had hot dogs. I busted out our electric indoor smokeless grill, came out pretty good.
My adoptive mother is running a bath with lavender bubble bath (that she only got after I told her repeatedly that im allergic to lavender) and even through my door and with an air purifier im coughing :(
Wow that’s really rude. I hate when people are like that. When they just do shit when you ask them not to.
It’s more annoying because they have never used this much lavdener shit until I told them I’m allergic
Now that they know I’m allergic we suddenly have lavender bubble bath, body wash, lotion, hand soap, and candles
oof that’s downright malicious.
Wish we could get rid of the sun without the planet freezing. Honestly, even with the freezing it might be a worthwhile trade-off at this point.

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
i fly like paper, get high like planes
One of my friends always said this song reminded them of me. Tried saving up money doing ahem villager trades so I could leave the state and hopefully the country, but it never came to be :/
Happy Labor Day folks. Even though its not the real Labor Day.
I’m reappropriating “Labor” Day into PatLabor Day where we all watch the leftist anime classic movie by the creator of Ghost in the Shell Mamoru Oshii Patlabor 2: The Movie. It’s like a beautiful liminal portrayal of the end of history malaise and how it’s constant military and police build up betrays its own declaration.
shower thought: what if russia starts criticising united states for it’s treatment of LGBT people? How are liberals going to respond? Are they going to just sit there listening and nodding along or are they going to do a whataboutism?
Honestly if Putin starts criticising anyone for their treatment of LGBTQ+ people IM gonna do a whataboutism. Dude made it illegal to be queer
Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
That’s my point. Liberals are obsessed with calling out “whataboutism” but what other response is there to Putin in this scenatio? Are they just gonna stay silent because responding to Putin would be whataboutism?
Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
Same shit when the soviet union rightfully criticized the USA for being racist towards black people…double down on the homophobia.
Wasn’t something like this the origin of whataboutism? The USSR criticizing racism in the US in propaganda
pretty much. It’s a term invented by westerners to cope with the fact that soviet critique is 100% correct. Yea, america does lynch black people, what business do they have criticising anyone else for violating human rights?
Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
exactly

Playing Vicky 3 and the landowners have revolted for the 4th time in 20 years
you should always press supress button on landowners right at the start of the game, fire all their generals/admirals and then start slowly passing laws to disempower them
the political system in v3 is so fucking weird and convoluted, and really hard to interact with to get what you want. I just added a cheat to get things to pass easier, i don’t wanna deal with it lol.
imo it’s a huge improvement over v2 but I get what you mean
Yeah its very cool and ambitious what they are trying to do, but it just didn’t get enough time in the oven i think. It was really painful trying to get a vanguard leader for an interest group, if you wanted to go communism route. I added a decision to just replace leaders in IGs when I want to do my transition.
but it just didn’t get enough time in the oven i think
this whole game should have gotten another year of development at least
Suppressing them is step 1 every time I play, but I was playing as japan and did some cheesing to bump them down enough temporarily to trigger an event but boy did they NOT like that. I also hadn’t developed my urban industries enough, meaning they were just constantly regaining their influence, revolting, losing the war and whatever influence they built, rinse and repeat.
Started a new run as Persia that is going insanely well. It’s January of 1840, the entirety of Central Asia that wasn’t already under Russian/Qing control at the start are now my vassals, and I completely control nearly all of the Persian region. Infamy is pretty high but I have no real competitors in the region so once I finish growing I’m going to settle down and work on my economy. Currently I’m waiting for my peace treaty with Oman to expire to get that second little port they have, so while that’s going on I’m getting ready to invade Afghanistan. Surely nothing will go wrong in Afghanistan.
Edit: things went wrong in Afghanistan
yeah, I restarted playing this game after a break and I’m encountering revolts much more frequently - never used to have this problem before. I think they patched some stuff
Edit: things went wrong in Afghanistan
lol of course it’s afghanistan
the landowners have revolted
Mao time
see landowners are about to revolt
delete all the barracks in their regions
landowners revolt anyway, run into battle unarmed
get crushed
