My nervous system bears the scars of an unthinkable number of barely-survived horrors that have sculpted and honed me over billions of years of evolution into the perfect killing machine and by far the sweatiest person in this supermarket.

Not sure if anyone else will be interested, but I threw this together the last 2 days: a philosophy playlist, “For the properly mixed life of reason and pleasure.” Based on Socrates’ idea in Plato’s Philebus that the good life contains both.

I’m lucky in a lot of ways: I know exactly what I want to do, I have the skills and experience to do it well, and people who believe in the work. What I don’t have is an iota of stability or financial security not to spend every minute of every day chasing the same $20 that was spent the day before.

We’re at an inflection point: the ruling class is running a live, mass social experiment to see how much they can crush labor before the bottom falls out and the merry-go-round of flowing capital implodes because only 6 people have any money. They’re confident they don’t need us. Are they wrong?

Wealth needs to be understood as the power to direct human labor toward your own aims. Billionaires can put thousands of people to work doing almost anything they want whenever they want, and they do. That’s near dictatorial power over a population.

Learning about the past is always learning about the present. You discover how many facets of human life can be different than they are now, and how everything in our world became what it is. Otherwise you only see a snapshot instead of the movie, and so everything has less meaning.

What most people need more than therapy and medication is money. So much mental distress is caused just from being squeezed financially by capitalism.

Capitalist society would fall apart if people couldn’t be angry at an imagined group of freeloaders to feel morally righteous about their supposed work ethic instead of being pissed that they’re coerced into selling their labor under threat of death from exposure to the elements.

Please help Dounia and her family in Gaza to survive under unbelievably difficult circumstances and start to rebuild their lives! Read her words, donate what you can and share the link. Everything helps! 🇵🇸 chuffed.org/project/1544...

My name is Donia Tanani.
A mother, a dreamer, a survivor amid the genocide in Gaza until this moment (I don't know, maybe will be the next victim of an Israeli missile).
As you know, I have endured unbelievable hardships for more than 2 years. My family and I have been evacuated more than 10 times, and we are still living in Gaza, where life has become tough. Despite the destruction and the relentless bloodshed, I am determined to rebuild my life and achieve my dreams like any normal human being who has the right to live as a human being.
My husband Ahmed, our daughter Salma, and I live under harsh living conditions that are almost unbearable or even beyond the capacity of the human mind to bear, including bombing, displacement, famine, high prices, and all kinds of psychological torture that almost strip us of our humanity. With the lack of all possible means to provide the necessary income to support our daughter and provide her with basic needs at this young age, we have resorted to creating a campaign again (to be honest, everything we provide is spent because the current situation is challenging).

I want to heal from the trauma l've experienced and take back control of my life. Now that the war is nearing its end, there is hope that the Rafah border crossing may open soon. For families like mine, this could be our only chance to leave Gaza and rebuild our lives in safety. But traveling out of Gaza is extremely expensive — from exit fees and visas to transportation and resettlement costs. We have lost everything in the war, and without financial help, we cannot take this opportunity.
Your support could be the difference between remaining trapped in crisis and finally starting a new life in peace.
Every contribution will go directly toward covering my evacuation expenses and helping me start a new chapter. Your support can help me rise above these challenges and turn my dream into a reality.
Every expense depends on reaching this goal.
Your support will help me achieve my dream and cover these essential costs. Every contribution makes a difference and means the world to me!
<THANK YOU FOR YOUR SOLIDARITY AND LOVE>
Donia Tanani..
