i'd assume X is discard but normally ill mark the use piece with the length especially if its piece work & theres a lot of different sizes going in

i was very skeptical of DuBois general thesis here, that the american civil war was won by black labor carrying out what is best described a general strike, and im now completely convinced of it. also reconstruction started as soon as a union general acknowledged a freeman refugee wasnt contraband

& being entirely generous to QT'ed posts intentions & thoughts being otherwise, thats how this shit ends up. boomers are 100% right when they whine about planned obsolescence but they only say it to say everything is bad now, especially you, our ingrate brat kids

i wanna defend the point and say it means things dont need to be like this, that kids should know that "technological innovation" opens horizons & capital encloses them, & i believe that, but youre right its just gonna sound like older people whining & telling them things used to be better

seems like the solution as in many cases is just for more people to Touch Grass lol

which is understandable ofc since its the understanding of sexuality were all socialized into, & makes sense that rightful defensiveness over the legitimacy of self-definition can slip into self-definition being treated as a good in itself in a way that pathologizes & flattens experience

seems like a lot of queer discourse around sexual desire smuggles in the conservative assumption that sexual desire is raw wild lust as an individual quality that can either be contained or let loose, instead of necessarily a social experience with all the ambiguity & fluctuation that implies

DuBois is so good

theres places where you can go to a relatively decent clinic for medicine but hunt bushmeat to get cash to buy minutes for your phone so you can text your family in another hemisphere for updates on when they can send money home for parts for your taxi. besides obv unjust it is abstractly incredible

dont mean this in a pedantic way at all bc the modern/premodern division is a very practical & helpful one, but its crazy how that division is complicated so much of the world. like theres "cottage industries" devoted to repairing mass produced shoes, dumps bcome mines, etc

"bottom of the best and the worst well what can i say" up there with all time woe is me lyrics

i am you but weaker (used to skip tiny cities made of ashes)

one of their unelected lifelong rulers say outright that he is their enemy who is fundamentally opposed to compromise and plans to use his position to fully assert his reactionary ideology and liberals respond with "ha! caught you red-handed being unprofessional!"

drove thru navajo nation a couple times and didnt see a single american flag flying. sure that was just a coincidence, since that was years ago and its only recently that someone would be suggest something as CRAZY as associating the "stars and stripes" with "hate", of all things!

im not saying you need to seethe in rage every time you see a ubiquitous flag but if youre even slightly aware of US history you should have to wrestle with the fact it doesnt make you seethe with rage

in a just world the american flag & the union jack would evoke the same disgust response as the nazi flag. wtf is a "hate symbol" dawg, these are genocidal empires lmao

this website is weird

i love analogies because in this scenario were supposed to assume its not an outrage the airline is serving meals of shit or that it is reasonable to accept a chicken meal from someone who offers you a plate of shit

no way it has any substance but still crazy pivot from a party that destroyed itself to viciously slander corbyn

thats a butt

influential just in the sense it was a big story for a while, unfortunately afaik didnt have any tangible effect lol

Francis Ngannou says he requested health insurance for all fighters during UFC negotiations The 36-year-old says that the breakdown in negotiations didn’t necessarily come from wanting more money.

hes not explicitly political but francis ngannou is a former salt miner from cameroon who has been very influential in advocating for fighters fair contracts w/r/t pay & healthcare, got into some serious disputes with UFC over it but didnt back down

replies here: either bluesky is working as twitter methadone bc i dont remember ppl being this stupid on there & it makes me close out, or im just running into stupider people to the same effect, or theyre reasonably misinterpreting me & im disconnected enough to misjudge interpretation

im urging you to fully understand the entire historical narrarive

and your rag wont make any mention of her anti-zionism

definitely top 12

or really anything else other than handing him a huge victimization play with a fraud trial & leaning so hard into it like its a massive victory
