Btw, a real life situation reminded me, so I'll remind you: Yet again the world sounds crazy. Your fear is valid. But your everyday life is valid too. Take care of yourself, check in with your people, choose to do sth that matters to you. We'll persevere and build sth better - don't despair

Sorry to keep banging this drum, but in ways big and small, the point of shoving “ai” into these devices is to insert the tech as a replacement for interpersonal relationships and foster distrust in your own assessments of how you feel.

I see no difference between reacting to some random woman’s wrongdoings by talking about her being ugly and unfuckable and this behavior, and frankly the two behaviors are basically identical, give or take a couple layers of abstraction.

If you want to know why I drip with disgust about these companies it’s because I love technology and I hate them for what they’ve done to the computer. It has never been perfect, but four or five companies decided that it had to be this bad, and they should be treated like war criminals for it.

I'm having a bit of a midnight meditation on how I ended my latest essay (relevant snippet below). The thing I'm commenting on probably doesn't even register as a trend in feminist writing unless you're familiar with just how much sex-positive online feminist blogs and articles did this.

This is the point in the essay where I dazzle and titillate my readers in equal measure through a salacious confession of just how many boundaries I transgress and how many norms I queer through sheer proximity, but if you’ll pardon the expression: I just don’t give a fuck. The status of my genitals, relationships, methods of intercourse or the people I engage in it with can be as varied and exotic or banal and vanilla as you please. What practices of intimacy I actually engage in do not matter one whit to a wider culture that has never cared about individual queers, and I remain, no matter what I do, a curiosity, an exhibit, a freakshow for cissexist, heterosexual perspectives to project all their fantasies and fears onto.

No perfectly executed move by me is going to snap the patriarchy in half, no matter how much I will it so.

Learning to sew is my way of liberating myself from the fatfobic system that states I'm not allowed to wear good looking clothes. Historical approach to clothing (made to last, no wasting fabric, fitting to the body) helped me to get a healthier outlook and say screw you to the machine

I think there's other stuff about wanting certain bodies available for sexual exploitation and child bearing/raising, but the fundamental fear trans people represent is that manhood isn't special, anyone can have it, and not everybody wants it. Trans men represent the "anyone can have it" part.

This is another "gonna talk about it in greater detail when I'm not overworked" thing, but the "male loneliness epidemic" is a broader Euro-Western loneliness epidemic that is not constrained by gender. Everyone is lonely, not just men, and there is one particularly powerful driving force.

every interview with this guy makes me tear up

Fourteen other people live in small homes dotted around the chacra, many of them elderly. He does not charge rent. “We are a bit like an old folks’ home,” he said. At heart, he is still an anarchist – or, as he puts it, a leftwing libertarian. “I am half, or even a lot, libertarian – as a dream, as a utopia. If ancient man could govern himself, then perhaps one day, in the future, men can govern themselves again.” After a lifetime of militancy, at the age of 79 he has found a way to balance his idealism with pragmatism, to the consternation of his critics on the left. “A leftwing vision of the world requires you to imagine a future utopia, but one doesn’t have the right to forget that the most important thing for every human being is the life they lead now,” he said. “The fight to make today better must become your central task.”

Alan Moore from a new interview. alanmooreworld.blogspot.com/2025/05/long...

"If we wish to have an inhabitable future for us and our children and their children, then might I quietly suggest we stop electing and tolerating obvious fascist buffoons because we think they're entertaining characters, as if they were housemates on Big Brother. This isn't reality TV. This is reality, or what's left of it. Let us instead protest and rail at these dribbling Nazi idiots to our last breath, rather than beam stupidly as Elon Musk 'sends his heart out to us' Nuremberg style. Let us point out that they are suicidal cretins when they insist that climate change is a Chinese hoax. Let us not give these witless fuckers an inch."

It can often be difficult to tell Sheep (right) and Goats (left) apart, but to the trained eye there's an obvious difference: While both commit Crimes, only Goats are aware that their actions are wrong, and are thus capable of Sin.

"Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if, when he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls? The world outside has not become less real because the prisoner cannot see it." -Tolkien, "On Fairy-Stories"

now so often used: a tone for which the uses of the word outside literary criticism give no warrant at all. In what the misusers are fond of calling Real Life, Escape is evidently as a rule
10 | Page
very practical, and may even be heroic. In real life it is difficult to blame it, unless it fails; in criticism it would seem to be the worse the better it succeeds. Evidently we are faced by a misuse of words, and also by a confusion of thought. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if, when he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls? The world outside has not become less real because the prisoner cannot see it. In using escape in this way the critics have chosen the wrong word, and, what is more, they are confusing, not always by sincere error, the Escape of the Prisoner with the Flight of the Deserter. Just so a Party-spokesman might have labelled departure from the misery of the Führer's or any other Reich and even criticism of it as treachery. In the same way these critics, to make confusion worse, and so to bring into contempt their opponents, stick their label of scor not only on to Desertion, but on to real Escape, and what are often its companions, Disgust, Anger, Condemnation, and Revolt. Not only do they confound the escape of the prisoner with the flight of the deserter; but they would seem to prefer the acquiescence of the
"quisling" to the resistance of the patriot. To such thinking you have only to say "the land you loved is doomed" to excuse any treachery, indeed to glorify it.
For a trifling instance: not to mention (indeed not to parade) electric
