Being privileged and awake means you have to hold the duality of benefitting directly from systems you are working against.

One of them is pretty heavy

The other is a little lighter

THIS IS A QUILT. Somebody designed this and sewed it up with hundreds or even thousands of pieces of fabric. Don't ever let anyone say textiles can't be art. Amazing. (Not my photo, quilt is by Montse Forcadell Blasco.)

If you think respecting people's gender is a kindness or a gift or something you can disregard when that person upsets you, then that's straight up transmisia and I, as a trans person, would never associate with someone who does this cause I would never feel they respected who I am.

Rule #1 of tidying your apartment:
Before it looks any better, it will mostly look like an absolute catastrophe.

Fascism is so susceptible to homoeroticism, we can't deny that.
So queerness, as it was never built to serve any hierarchy, is almost humanity's last defence against fascism?
When someone is trans or gay, that person then becomes an individual with needs that openly conflict with the hierarchy. But because these things are not visible, like skin color or nose shape, they cannot be fully eradicated through militant fascist means.
And even if those queers end up living life in that fascist society, they will still in their existence be a pert of humanity fascism can never reach. You can never breed out the gay, sweetheart. The gay will always be there.
But of course, with the newest iteration of fascism, the homoeroticism is no longer subtext, and white gays need to tread real carefully when they take actions to appropriate fascist symbology.

Thoughts welcome.

The word human resource is so disgusting to me. It makes it clear how Capitalism and its allies see us : an expandable, finite, exploitable commodity that has to be shaped and produced using the "factories of the State" (see the education system).

Why the hell aren't there free public showers?
How are you supposed to say you care what happens to the homeless if you aren't providing this service? We're at a point where "not getting hired for hygiene" is just code for "we don't hire people who aren't financially stable enough already to have their own private hygiene facilities".

"A part of the conservative ideology of the powerful is to reject challenges to thir power as 'politics', where their dominance is just the natural cultural state."

Just wanted to share a link to the free and open access e-learning project #RUVIVAL - restoring degraded areas and creating new, not just inhabitable, but livable spaces. I think it resonates with #solarpunk and it is available in English and Spanish. https://www.ruvival.de/
