We know you want to burn down capitalism.

But for today, just don’t answer your boss’s call off the clock.

We know you believe in ACAB and think they all should get the wall.

But for today, just don’t call 9-1-1 on the guy screaming outside of your apartment.

The memes are fun. The memes are aspirational and keep us reaching for the horizon.

But look down, too, at what actually is.

Endure pains now—suffer the inconveniences now—knowing that they likely involve unpleasantness.

The Revolution™ is fun to imagine and involves no pain. But the real world does involve pain, and it’s necessary to exercise the muscles needed for future work and opportunities.

Piracy 🤝 Physical Media 🤝 Libraries

Physical media has two hands 😌

i’m starting a movement to stop calling this shit “artificial intelligence” cause it’s fucking not. it’s not intelligent, and the things it produces are not informed by logical choices. it doesn’t know how to research sources for you. it doesn’t compose art thoughtfully or meaningfully.

call it machine-generated, text generator, chat bot, but it’s not intelligent.

I saw someone saying earlier that feeling safe and being safe are different and that we are entitled to being safe, but not to feeling safe, and the example they brought up was like terfs making trans women existing in bathrooms out to be this huge danger to cis women when all stats and research shows that trans women are not and have never been any type of danger to cis women which is what i mean by not all boundaries are valid and I think it’s important to be aware of your reasoning for setting a boundary outside of something just making you feel uncomfortable

So many radical ppl have had “boundaries” around my sex work because the existence of sex work near them made them feel unsafe. Whether it was around living with me or around covid. It’s always so interesting how these boundaries intended to keep them safe made me less safe. Sometimes boundaries alienate. Sometimes the focus on personal safety undermines community safety. Sometimes it’s more useful to ask yourself “how do I make my friend more safe so we can be safer together” than it is “how do I put up walls to protect myself.”

I’m also thinking about how boundaries are used to enforce transmisogyny in queer spaces about what @marxism-transgenderism has been talking about. How it’s made about “talking over ppl” or “taking up too much space” or “scaring ppl with your loudness” and how that also intersects with also being fat or black in these spaces and how certain bodies are marked as scary and unsafe and must be contained within social boundaries.

happy beltane & may day! 🌿

“ever notice how all nonbinary people are afab?” no but i have noticed how every single amab nonbinary person ive come across is either forcibly labeled as a trans woman or a cis guy who just Loudly Gay

btw the destruction of the national museum of iraq is a cultural loss on par with the library of alexandria and you should still be very angry with george w. bush for it.
