imagine being a professional politician so bad at politics that in the current climate you had to say, “my ideas and my inherent charm aren’t working against the people who made gas $8 a gallon & are kidnapping the ice cream men. i should release an ad about which humans i think are less human.”

To be human is to know that there are people out there whose brilliant hues I cannot yet fathom, who would make my life better by being in it and broaden my horizons in ways I can't myself envision.

The future as imagined by men lacking the vital spark, who see no value in others' lives, who cannot envision the internalities of anyone unlike them, and who truly believe that everyone wants life to be an endless parade of flattery and yes-men just as they do.

I don’t care about changing men’s hearts or making them into feminists. I think serious attempts to do so are doomed to cooptation or failure. We cannot convince men to care about women and we don’t need to. The asymmetry in power is a given, so meaningful feminist action must be insurgent.

With feminism and anarchism both, mass appeal will never be a viable option. We are fighting to change everything and so everything is against us. That doesn’t mean our movements are doomed to fail, not at all, it just means we need to take that asymmetry into account and strategize accordingly.

Fiction is always in conversation with the world we do inhabit; "I wish the ills of the world gone" is only one way to have that conversation. "Attack Dogs" would be very different and IMO less interesting if it wasn't about the persistence of patriarchal ideology, even in a very "queered" world.

It's less that I like writing about "queer infighting" and more that I'm utterly uninterested in writing about non-queer people to any significant degree. The characters I write about all tend to be queer, and thus the conflicts I write about are invariably between queer people. Cuz we're people.

Social contagion re falling birth rates is just such a bizarre reading. We hv gone from austerity to a cost of living crisis for nearly 2 decades, meanwhile the planet is on fire, house prices are through the roof, & housing is in scant supply. So weird to look for make believe reasons.

Whenever I see the term "social contagion" I know I can discount whoever is proposing it as a cause. Perhaps it had explanatory power once, but these days it means "more than one person doing something I don't like".

This is what rigging in a democracy-turned-fascist ethnostate looks like. Even as Opposition parties & other groups protest the regime's vote rigging and mass disenfranchisement of Indians in Delhi, the BJP happily turned a by-poll in my state into a one-party election in their favour.

This is extremely convenient for bourgeois propagandists in general because now there's a widely understood language to basically attribute any economic or societal concerns to a kind of hysteria. Not having kids because you have no money? Actually, you're hysterical.

as if it's nuanced when it's really just teaching us to ignore and invisibilize the people who are most at need in marginalized communities while pedastelizing those who can conform. Notice how none of these groups get the material support they need.
