The first popularity contest I failed was in seventh grade. Who knows why I thought this was a good idea, but I got it in my head to run for class president. Or vice president. Or something like that. musicprofessorz.substack.com/p/two-votes-...

Some autistics are very closed down and rational-minded. Others are hyper-empathetic and emotional. Three guesses which one I am. #actuallyautistic

No, autistics don’t take everything literally. You’re thinking of kleptomaniacs. #ActuallyAutistic

It isn’t high- vs. low-functioning autism, it’s levels of support needs. (And even those are problematic.) #autismawarenessmonth

My brain can't "hear" teasing. Imagine a lifetime of that—anytime someone teases you, it sounds like they're dead serious. #actuallyautistic

April is autism awareness/acceptance month. This year, I'll be posting a little something every day. First and foremost, the infinity rainbow is the preferred symbol, not the puzzle piece. #ActuallyAutistic #disabilityawareness

Isn't it interesting that pointing out how we're being exploited by billionaires hasn't stopped billionaires from exploiting us? #anticapitalism #directaction #anarchy

Look, can you see? Politicians are like professional ballplayers. One plays for the Giants, another the Yankees, etc., but they all work for MLB--not the fans. #anticapitalist #anarchy

Music Professor Z @musicprofessorz.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

So many people out there complaining about the Democrats not standing up to Republicans, that we need a real opposition party, etc. & I feel so bad for them that even in the face of all this evidence they still can't accept the truth about our parties or our political ruling class. #anticapitalism

True leftism threatens capitalist power. They demonize our helping each other so that we have to buy their products and services. They say competition is natural, so that we fight each other instead of overthrowing the few who oppress so many. #anticapitalism #collectivist #leftism

How weird is it to live in an era where people insist on their right to confirmation bias?

Music Professor Z @musicprofessorz.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

The argument that the system is broken and must be fixed presumes there was a time when the system was working. Point this out to incrementalists, to advocates for change from within, to all centrists and liberals. Always point out this fallacy. #anticapitalism #systemstheory

"Do your own research and decide for yourself" is a propaganda tactic. Anyone not experienced in doing research will come to conclusions they already agree with. And they'll believe them even more strongly. #confirmationbias #anti-intellectual #doyourownresearch

How many great artists have there been, unknown because they weren't born into a life where it was possible for them to succeed? #anticapitalism #wealthinequality #artist

Music Professor Z @musicprofessorz.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

It's not about just profit, it's about ever-increasing profit. Unending growth of wealth. The rich are a cancer on society and we are in desperate need of chemo. #anticapitalism

Music Professor Z @musicprofessorz.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

Stop saying tax the billionaires. If the people with the power to do that would, they wouldn't be in power. #anticapitalism #wealthinequality

None of our problems will be solved or even addressed by putting the "good" rich people in charge. #anticapitalism #wealthinequality

So many people talking about all the horrible things happening here. I wanna talk about how to change it, how to stop it, how to fix it, how to build a better world. #anticapitalism #revolution #anarchy

People ❤️ boycotts because then they don't have to do anything that makes them uncomfortable. They get to tell themselves they took action without getting their hands dirty. They get to continue their delusion that taking action doesn't require sacrifice. #civildisobedience #mutualaid #directaction

Music Professor Z @musicprofessorz.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

The chaos is a distraction. Stop letting them set the narrative. Stop dealing with them on their terms. #anticaitalism

I want a world where when people find out children used to starve, they're so horrified that they refuse believe you. #anticapitalism #poverty

Music Professor Z @musicprofessorz.bsky.social · 04/03/2025

Hey, you know what's really interesting? The way power doesn't give a shit about "love will conquer all." They just laugh about it. Really. Power doesn't achieve or maintain itself by being loving. But by all means give me a historical example of when it has. #action #powerdynamics #revolution

The headline read, "Rare photo captures seven planets together for the first time!" and I couldn't help but snark that if it's the first one then, yes, that makes it quite rare. #alignment #clickbait #space

What if... Americans are the last ones to learn what our country really is?

Music Professor Z @musicprofessorz.bsky.social · 25/02/2025

It's astonishing to me so few Americans think about how we're the only country in the history of the world to use nuclear weapons. And we did it to civilians. #endlesswar #militaryindustrialcomplex #peoplenotprofit

Always remember: the #1 way racism gets perpetuated is by pretending it doesn’t exist. Actually, that's kinda how most ills get perpetuated when you think about it. #erasure #injustice

Blaming Trump's election on the third of Americans who didn't vote takes on a whole different tenor when you rephrase that as: 2/3 of Americans participated in a system that resulted in Trump being elected. Always remember: the purpose of a system is what it does. #shamelection #systemstheory

In case you were wondering, Apple has made it impossible to submit a complaint about the Gulf of Mexico being displayed with an incorrect name. #gulfofmexico #orwell

Music Professor Z @musicprofessorz.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

I wonder what it would take for Americans to realize that peaceful protest never results in change? #anticapitalism #resist

There's nothing quite like having two billionaires who were born into wealth lay waste to DEI programs saying they want to return the US to a merit-based society. #eattherich #classconsciousness #anticapitalism

Music Professor Z @musicprofessorz.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

There have been marches and demonstrations in all state capitals and I've heard practically nothing about it. The narrative is being very tightly controlled. #protest #antiauthoritarian #manufacturingconsent

You know what I wish more people understood better? Cultists have been swindled, and we should respond accordingly instead of deriding them as being morons for getting sucked in by lies. #anticapitalism #changetheworld

Music Professor Z @musicprofessorz.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

People are making hay out of how if we can call a body of water a new name, then why not trans people? But that is the point. They WILL call a body of water a new name, but NOT trans people. #transrights #authoritarian #oppression

I'm seeing social media posts of Syber-trucks being vandalized with graffiti. I'm sure that makes people feel good but let me assure you it don't mean sh!t until they start doing it to all the other Tessla's already on the road. #anticapitalism #eattherich

Some people know about the Buddhist monks who self-immolated during the Vietnam war. Very few are aware that they did it to protest the Americans. #anticapitalism #vietnamwar #protest

It's staggering that we can look at our crumbling society, our lives of toil, the militarized police necessary to hold it all together, and still believe we're in any way Free. #fallofempire #anticapitalism #organize

I heard someone say once that people don't quit their jobs, they quit their boss and I agreed so hard I hurt myself. #anticapitalism

Music Professor Z @musicprofessorz.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

Thinking prompt: people call out government corruption, hypocrisy, and other wrongs as if merely doing so will result in change. But power doesn't care. Power is a bully. "What are you gonna do about it, really?" #corruption #powerdynamics #anarchy

Music Professor Z @musicprofessorz.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

Understanding US propaganda 101. The words "we the people" were written by wealthy, landowning, slaveholding Europeans, who saw only themselves as people. HW: efforts to expand the definition of "people" are only allowed when they don't threaten the existing power structure. #anticapitalism

Music Professor Z @musicprofessorz.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

Hey, have you heard the one about when the American people achieved class consciousness and rose up to overthrow their wealthy oppressors? Yeah. Me neither.

Music Professor Z @musicprofessorz.bsky.social · 06/02/2025

Corporations spend around $400 billion on advertising and marketing every year. And Americans think it's not propaganda because it didn't come from the government.

If it's inaccessible to the poor, it's neither radical nor revolutionary.
