Screamer and bass player. I like to read; mostly philosophy, psychoanalysis, books I forgot I had on my shelf. Movies. Music. Cats.

stories like this help with the overall claim that mental maladies with which we suffer are not merely a “chemical imbalance” that strikes from nowhere, or from our “genes,” but that our genes become infected from without by a warfare bent on sickening us.

I hope Netanyahu is cocky enough to travel to one of these countries now obliged to arrest him and he gets a small fraction of what’s coming to him. He’ll probably be better off in the long-run than if he stays in Palestine, rotting in a Dutch prison.

what’s more: for those who are on disability/ssi, the whole thing becomes yet more insidious when it is revealed that, unless a special concession is granted (ABLE accounts), those person receiving these “benefits” are excluded from saving too much, etc.
Again this is the most commonly belived conspiracy theory in America and no amount of experiencing reality can shake it
I had a right wing friend years ago who was unemployed for a long time and did a big “fuck it, I give up, I’m signing up for welfare!” reveal. and he was absolutely furious when he saw how little he got. He went on and on about how there must be another welfare somewhere, hidden from him.

i know i’ll be like every other lame brain on the internet, but i think i’m gonna start a “blog,” largely to get me writing more shit again. i’d like that as a discipline. and i find it too hard to be motivating to simply *write*. so might as well write for an imaginary audience.

just finished my reading of this. some good reflections, and some excellent explications of guattari’s ideas. however, like a majority of the work i’ve encountered, an underdeveloped analysis of lacan’s work in relation to guattari, especially the late lacan imo.

Bluesky academics, lets get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about

hard agree
All political power derives from control of flows of people, goods, money, and information over land. I think you would be well advised to stop worrying so much about arguments, theories, morals, and identifications except insofar as they help you get control over some flows.

okay, i’ve been sitting on my ass about it for so long, but i’m really determined to finish my paper manuscript this month. work and shit always makes it feel insurmountable, but after a weekend with people who mocked blindness in the most insidious ways has got me reanimated
