COMMUNITY CALENDAR - AN EXPERIMENT IN PROMOTING USER ORGANIZING EFFORTS
Join the fresh and beautiful batch of new comms:
Things are probably gonna take at least another year to "feel safe". Vaccine rollout is going to be staggered and gradual, and there will be problems when some patients experience harmful side effects which is almost inevitable.
I was booked for a flight to CA until like 2 days before every state locked down. I was going to tour a bunch of schools that were in my transfer plans for this coming spring. 2 semesters and 4 F’s later, I have no idea when I’ll have the opportunity again.
Hmm maybe but I think I would’ve had to start that process some time ago. The one person who I trust to help me with that also hasn’t replied to any of my emails this semester lol.
Either way I think I’ve learned my lesson - never touching online classes again
i made so many friends right before quarantine, but not good enough to text routinely. dunno what'll happen next
Neoliberals lying awake in bed: "Those poor kids in sweatshops... what if im not buying enough to financially support them? 😔😔😔"
Imagine believing that global poverty happens because you didnt buy that t-shirt that was made in Cambodia. If that wasnt the reason, then what could it be?
When you believe that capitalists are invincible and history is over you constantly frame decisions according to lifeboat ethics and zero-sum politics (except of course the actually correct zero-sum game between workers and capitalists). You have no choice but to ignore the giant pile of untouched, unusuable resources because to entertain seizing it for the public good is theft.
Instead you have no choice but to make "trade-offs" to maximize collective utility (while ignoring or being unaware of the utility monster problem): under this framework, if you care about the global poor you're supposed to allow western capitalists to exploit them and force market-based solutions into their lives because they get more income that way and are a step closer to developing themselves out of poverty.
Altruistic neoliberals - the true-believer PMC and NGO neolibs who understand that capitalism as it exists now has problems that they want to solve - are the ultimate cucks when it comes to global economic policy, they're trapped in this tiny fucking cage policywise that only allows them to entertain policies which guarantee misery for the many and absurd wealth accumulation for very few. They can't conceive of a better world being possible without a bunch of rich assholes making money in the process (even if it's a little bit less money than they're making now), which is why they factor in profitability when trying to make policy arguments to governments. For these people, neoliberalism is learned helplessness, the understanding that Marxist and even social-democratic policies are forever off the table.
Breaking out of this ideological cage is the most freeing experience possible in late-stage capitalist hellworld. Marxists can and must plant seeds in these people's minds.
I brought up how nice prostate orgasms are on a political subreddit, and got a whole bunch of people expressing discomfort with it, but prefacing it with "sure I'm a right winger" or "I'm a progressive but..."
All politics are sexual pathology
That's hilarious. I can kind of see some lib being like "I fully support gay marriage, but I can't imagine wanting someone's finger in my bum", but a right winger doing the same is especially funny.
Gf is out of jail, most stuff got dropped. Judge literally told her they set the bail so high because they were hoping to get some money out of her. Seeing as there was no money to be had, they let her go. I guess things are ok now? Gonna try and get her car back today I guess.
On a more positive note, anyone else into analog photography? Everything is so old and resources on how to repair stuff is hard to come by, but it's extremely satisfying.
Transphobia in general just doesn't make sense. I remember speaking with my elderly Muslim conservative mom at the height of the "bathroom" drama and she just shrugged her shoulders and said something like "their genitalia is their business, I won't sit on the same toilet as them", which was a surprising take from her lol. It's so fucking dumb that people spend so much time on being openly hostile to Trans people, it's definitely one of the shittiest developments of recent years.
:sankara-salute: to all Trans comrades
what up folks today's stalin's birthday but more importantly it's also my birthday. can't go out to do shit cause fuckin pandemic so i'm gonna sit in and play video games with my household. y'all better be having only good vibes today too
A local animal shelter has a cat named Cha-cha. I want him so bad. :screm-pretty:
I know it's pronounced "housecat", but something about "huiskat" just makes me giggle.
This user dissociated, becoming detached from linear spacetime. Take a moment of silence (which lasts infinitely) to reflect on his state of being
you know when like suddenly the whole world feels really far away and it's really hard to interact with it? sometimes, it gets really easy to daydream, others, it feels like a mental fog that makes it so very hard to do anything. it's usually a reaction to something that's too intense for you to deal with.
You ever just scroll through your old posts and be like "damn, I'm a good ass poster. These fools are lucky to have me."
