🧋😏 ... i don't want to rob anyone of their joy
i just want these people to stop
harming us thru abandonment & neglect
while they personally profit off our harm
& then expect our support
as if we don't see what's going on
is it really so unreasonable for me or anyone to want this?

☕😶 the tricky bit is understanding the grounded social material context & being able to discern whether what we embody & practice is prosocially working towards that better condition or rather mostly reproducing or sustaining the status quo? 🤷🏼♂️🤌🏼👀

their 'betters' must be rn,, 👀

Every time the excesses of the elites come to light, there’s a very normal tendency to be terrified — correctly. But it is important to remember that context/function of those excesses is the assertion of the elites’ special status. Likewise, ritual humiliation and rites of passages are not kink

maybe its like anti queer theory or w/e to make this perfect line in the sand between queer and not but to me, the actions of these powerful men are less about *desire* or internal feeling and more about external displays of power and submission

Covid-19. Bird flu. Et al. Now is a *really* good time to wear those respirator masks, my friends.
I think a lot about those who have died directly because of the carelessness, selfishness, and negligence of their fellow humans. Our species has not evolved enough. We have a LONG way to go.
