I gotta finish Volume II of Capital ASAP I plan to write some threads on it. It’s very slept on, but it’s much more interesting than people give it credit for
Its insistence on analyzing the recombinative elements of a self-moving totality cuts deeply into the core of dialectics

Sure. Similarly by going to work you're preserving the stability of the capitalist system, extending suffer for millions. By consuming things you're increasing the social power of the exploiters.
&c. &c. Existing in capitalism always means some level of complicity with violence.

If opposing electoralism makes one complicit in the suffering caused by electoral defeats, then electoralism likewise makes one complicit in preserving the capitalist order responsible for the mass suffering of millions upon millions.

The entire fucking point of intersectionality is that someone oppressed for being queer can still have white privilege in the same way that someone oppressed for being black can still have cishet privilege. What is interfering with your ability to comprehend this?

Im supposed to believe that these people genuinely give a shit about racism when they ignore the death of queer people of color in the global south so that they can use them for a gotcha moment against "white queers"

i cannot believe this isnt like, staged.... like how is this not staged!!! what do you MEAN all they apparently needed only 900k USD??? when the city council has a budget of 7b USD?????????? they just genuinely wanted to close the museum silently without anybody making a fuss
If you watch only one clip from the Philadelphia City Council hearing about the closure of the Academy of Natural Sciences, let it be this one. It — and I don't say this lightly — must be seen to be believed. #SaveTheAcademy

1. Queer ppl are NOT "predominantly yt."
There is no racial predisposition to queerness & yt ppl are ~16% of the world, so queer ppl are predominantly NOT YT.
2. The Cornell 7 are ALSO NOT ALL YT.
You overshadow the important points you make when you lead w/complete bullshit.

Indeed! The real class war is between the productive class (proletariat) and the welfare class (bourgeoisie).

Maybe national DSA isn't a total joke, wow
The DSA National Political Committee has voted to unendorse and expel Nithya Raman
She has until October 31 to express clear direct support for BDS to retain endorsement, and until January 1 to condemn weapon shipments for Israel out of LAX to remain a member of DSA
Both resolutions are linked below

Hey - I wanna be a little greedy and share something with you guys that I'm proud of myself for. ♥
Over the last 2 years, I have very diligently pursued a healthier lifestyle by eating healthier and doing consistent cardio/strength training - as a result, I have lost over 135lbs (~60kg)!!!
This week, I will be traveling to Brazil in order to prepare for surgery to remove a tonnn of excess skin from my torso/chest, as well as fix some abdominal muscle separation that I have as a result of being morbidly obese for the majority of my life until now. The surgery is scheduled for November 4th. I don't think it's fully hit me that it's happening yet, but I'm really, really excited!
I feel like I've become an entirely different person - not just the fact that I've halved in size physically, but emotionally and mentally too. Learning to develop and maintain a strong sense of discipline has helped me achieve so many of my goals. Achieving my goals has helped me gain confidence. Gaining confidence has helped me pursue things I would've been too scared to do before - like doing an IRL meet and greet for the first time earlier this year and finally getting to meet so many of you! Pushing myself to do things I was scared to do before has become an invigorating driving force for me, and I'm excited to see what other ways I can push myself for the better from here. I could go on endlessly about how much taking care of myself improved pretty much every aspect of my life in some way, but this is already getting wordier than I'd planned - oopsie.. 🥺
That all being said, there is one big, gigantic bummer - which is that as much as I *hate* taking time off from streaming, I will ABSOLUTELY have to do so; a few days leading up to the surgery for travel and surgery prep, and then at least 1 or 2 weeks after surgery, maybe more (but hopefully not), to focus on getting to a point where I can feel well enough to stream again.
I'll be able to stream one more time this coming Tuesday, November 3rd (the day before surgery), and then off I go for a bit. It's gonna suck not getting to hang out with you guys as much as I'll want to. 💔
Thank you in advance to all my honeybuns for your patience with me - let's make November 3rd a big party, okay? 🥹
