I read books and then write things about them.
I think about Decay a lot.
What if we built something’s end into its creation?

I mean….
Scientists have long wondered how female bonobos maintain their matriarchies. In a study, published Thursday in the journal Communications Biology, researchers who tracked six bonobo communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo over nearly 30 years provided the first evidence-based explanation for how female bonobos gain and sustain dominance over the males within their communities. Females, they found, form coalitions against males to tip the balance of power in their favor. When a male bonobo steps out of line, nearby females will band together to attack or intimidate him. Males who cower in the face of such conflicts lose social rank, while their female adversaries gain it, affording them better access to food, and mates for their sons.

ABSTRACT This essay examines how N. K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy (2015-2018) depicts a group of the oppressed taking their land, and their lives, back into their own hands. Beginning with a discussion of Gothic storytelling, this essay invokes the Gothic as a barometer for anxieties we may feel as bodies labouring in capitalist societies that deem the viability of life on this planet as nothing more than the cost of doing business. This advances the Gothic Marxist tradition of solidarity with monsters as a strategy for pushing back against systems of oppression and climate change. Jemisin’s depiction of the collapse of an energy-hungry empire that grew large enough to span the Earth itself offers the reader an opportunity to examine the history, and future, of the U.S. and other empires that consume the lives and land of Indigenous peoples in the name of technological profit-driven progress. This essay then argues that Jemisin’s work tunes into the anxieties generated while living in a society dominated and steered by capitalism, concluding that embracing those made monstrous by these systems and joining them in revolution may be the key to slowing, and even preventing, complete catastrophe. Keywords: Gothic Marxism, Revolution, Technology, Empire, Decolonisation, ecoGothic

“You cannot restrict unfreedom to a particular class of people. It will metastasize to consume the entire society.”
@jamellebouie.net right on the money, as usual.
The mere existence of a group of nonpersons threatens the freedom of those who live within the scope of concern, however far from the center they might be. Free Black people could not escape slavery. Nor, for that matter, could whites, whose rights to speak freely and gather as they pleased were threatened by the political power of slave owners, who had grown accustomed to dominating others as a way of life. The status of all Americans was, in truth, threatened by the existence of a class of people whose rights could be arbitrarily stripped from them, if they even had rights to begin with. You cannot restrict unfreedom to a particular class of people. It will metastasize to consume the entire society. This was true of the slave system, where the large majority of people lived in conditions of servitude; it was true of the Jim Crow South, where economic exploitation and political disenfranchisement were the rule for Black and white Americans; and it will be true of our time for as long as we continue on the current path.

MJ King We are sick and tired of you racist conservative brainwashed cult members trying to be in society and messing it up for the rest of us. You've been the problem throughout history and we're done. Nazis get punched in the face. Nazis are not allowed in society. Things are not normal, it's civil war era, because you don't deserve to be around the rest of us. You're selfish, dangerously brainwashed, Un-American untrustworthy evil dirty racists. All of you. Every conservative. We're done having you in society.

This game was such a nice escape from all the shit. 10/10 recommend for a chill weekend. We love a feminist subplot.

Alt text practice and FLOWERS
Queen’s Tears flower. Inside a half barrel and with greenery in the background, a circle of long, thin, fanned leaves surrounds a single bright pink stalk. The stalk is approximately three inches taller than the leaves, and is bent over with the weight of several flowers that are pointed downward and just about ready to open. Wild Pink Jasmine. Covering a chain link fence almost completely, vines stretch their green leaves toward the sun. A cluster of pink buds sitting on long, thin, stems show flowers nearly ready to open. Chinese Hawthorne. At the tips of a squat shrub stand a few stems with olive-green leaves that end in delicate red leaves like long flower petals. French broom. Amid a cluster of short, rounded, green leaves in a lanky shrub rest bright yellow flowers.
