I hate to be researchposting but I going insane or does this not actually happen in Robinson Crusoe?
“At that moment, I remembered the incident in the narrative of the celebrated Robinson Crusoe […] of his procuring fire, from the lightning's stroke upon a tree”

I’m reading and watching a lot of vile stuff at the moment, because my PhD project is about settler colonial violence and fear narratives in popular culture, and it seems like I need to read this book from 1997, called “Pauline Hanson-The Truth” (which is a batshit screed attributed to her) BUT

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

accidentally watched the first ten minutes of L’Enfant Sauvage (1970), about the “wild boy of Aveyron”, before I realized the subtitles were turned off, I’m doing feral child immersion research

My verdict is that while this is not cannibal in the purest sense but it is HIGHLY erotic, it demonstrates the absurdity of human masculine brutality in the face of the natural world, and most importantly it is about dudes experiencing consequences on a boat

As of yesterday I am finally! at last! ABD and approved to get to work on my dissertation! it’s a study of fear, disgust, hunger, and desire in the settler symbolic that I’m calling “cannibal erotics”

It has been five years of The Whole Picture! It is incredible to me that I wrote this book, and even more so that people have read and enjoyed it. There’s a lot about it that feels naive, looking back, and there are many things I would change or do differently now, but on the whole I stand by it.

I've been really excited to share this. Two and a half years ago, I moved to New York with my girlfriend (now wife), and started obsessively documenting found typography from all over the city. Now I have designed and screen printed a typographic sampler, sort of a speculative typeface of sorts.

i'll be blunt, if you are someone who is vocal about the ways that diversity efforts "divide the working class" but silent about the ways that *actual racism and discrimination* divide the working class, then i think you're just an opportunist
