I'm sticking around on Twitter out of morbid curiosity on how low it can really go

can you all stop celebrating the pope as if he wasn’t the head of a regressive organization that fights for the oppression of women and queer people all over the world

Found a person who thinks the Catholic Church is estranged from philosophy

this is why I find climate dooming so frustrating there is no point - none - at which throwing up your hands and going “well we’re fucked” is the correct response every tenth of a degree matters and can make a big difference and is worth fighting for

Things I've learned about people's reading habits this month: 1. People don't read first person books because *checks notes* "they would never personally do that" 2. Academics admit to not reading the works they cite 3. People from Booktok skip reading everything that isn't dialogue Were cooked

The scripture of the KKK, also known as the Kloran

Love reading medieval Arabic poetry because you'll find gems like this poem where some guy was really mad about the local neighborhood lesbian www.brunel.ac.uk/creative-wri...

Now that I think about it wouldn't "Grindr" make more sense as the name of a lesbian hookup app

guy who opposes the legalization of homosexuality not because he’s homophobic but because it makes him feel dirty when he does it

Arab guy named al gore

For something which is very common and a daily fact of life, it's amazing how English doesn't seem to have a direct neutral word to refer to poop "Poop" or "poo" sound too silly "Stool", "feces", and "excrement" are too formal "Shit" is too rude "Number 2" is an indirect euphemism & silly

"the R slur is coming back" not within slapping distance of me it's not

Becoming an anarchist I think has irreversibly changed the way I interact with stories. I get irrationally infuriated when light & trashy stories introduce characters like police, soldiers, nobility, kings, etc. as main characters & romantic interests

Twitter is currently transitioning out of the "blowjobs are abusive" discourse and into the "I can't read first person books I would never do that" discourse Old Twitter is so back

There's this thing where people think slavery and colonization were exclusively invented by Americans and I don't know how anyone who has a functioning critical mind & working understanding of world history can believe that

Hey, I wrote a book. Did The Science Wars Take Place? Covers the history and philosophy of a fight in the 80s & 90s between some postmodernists and scientists, with an eye to anarchist interests and lasting political influences among the far-right. Pre-order here: store.c4ss.org/index.php/pr...

Elden Ring is so peak despite using very identifiable & overused tropes in Japanese fiction (magic school, goddess quest, etc.)

I know there's a lot going on But what the US is doing to Cuba is unconscionable

Although this paper is about educated Chinese elites who blindly worship America, it also explains the opposite phenomenon of American leftists who blindly worship China. The phenomenon is appropriately called "political beaconism" scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=e...

*wokely* Sodomy is bad & women can't enjoy sex

Under Woke 3.0, we will be referring to Europe as the "Middle West" and be giving abortions to men at your local pharmacy. Idc

New generation Americans don't watch Fox News slop anymore, they watch Tiktoks where people film their autistic relatives and ask them questions like they're a Magic-8 ball

Read more about this case in @theintercept.com's article by Jeremy Busby, @joinjeremy.org, in partnership with FPF: Prison-style free speech censorship is coming for the rest of us: The government wants to make it illegal to possess literature it deems dangerous

"omg y'all can't do anything" Local person surprised that people with the "omg I can't do anything" disability can't do anything

Anarchists correctly claim that all states are structurally coercive & violent—a fact so obvious even non-anarchist scholars agree. Anarchists don't claim all states are *equal in power or harm.* Nonetheless, asymmetries in power don't erase weaker states' coercion & violence.

The UK is where POC go to if they want to become evil

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

This is cool as hell: An app designed to ping people about nearby smartglasses. Also cool: The creator was inspired by @404media.co coverage, a great illustration of why their journalism is so essential. This kind of work is funded by paid subscribers so become one of those if you can.

sources tell me the police officers hit by snowballs are stable please god

Using the pomodoro method where I do my job (5 minutes) then scroll on social media (25 minutes)

Every person I know who went to an Ivy League college or some other top tier uni tells me that they were left traumatized by the behavior of wealthy white folks. Just drugs, sex, SA, and racism

Every hour I'm alive is pure suffering, interrupted only by occasional bouts of horniness

please help sahar and her children, especially odai who is in urgent need of surgery 🖤 gofund.me/77a751af7

Currently being yelled at on Twitter for pointing out all states are also guilty of ethnic cleaning and apartheid laws & that we should be mad about them too just like we're mad about Palestine

People who don't read be like "people who don't read be like" but they the people who don't read that be like

Can anyone recommend Chinese xianxia/fantasy web novels that ARENT misogynist? I'm dying out here

Anarchist: "Current hierarchical social systems place children at the mercy of exploitation & abuse. Children should be liberated from them and we should reorganize our way of life." Someone: "Fool! Without those hierarchies, children will be victimized!"

Damn maybe I should be on reddit

This is my impression of an owl but the owl is Israeli *Cough* KHAMMMMAAAASSSSSS

Brown-haired brown-eyed person named something like Anwar Awad al-Lubnani: "Actually I'm Phoenician"

Just as I was relaxing from all the BS I have to engage with I find out that there are mfers making machines that r*pe cockroaches and posting this stuff proudly on the internet. Send the flood

Worth reposting here because it is unbelievable how indistinguishable a lot of leftists are from right wing conspiracists

Currently reading through web novels RN and the similarity with serialized Victorian era novels stands out to me. The endless droning about small details makes them very hard to read.

What's everyone's favorite right wing theorist? Mine is Lenin

Enemy #1 are Gen Z and millennials working in marketing who weaponize their understanding of their respective generations to create increasingly deceptive undisclosed advertisements to manipulate people into buying their fuckass products

Some Muslim feminists are hilarious. They'll say "My husband will pay all my finances, I will spend all of his money while I do whatever I want, and that's feminism" as if that isn't yassified patriarchy

I can't lie, looking at what Donald Trump is doing to US institutions made me a smidge more sympathetic to accelerationists
