Cool thread. My alternate framing to this dynamic, unsurprisingly, is going to center consumerism as politics. We’ve had “sacrificial, participatory, and enduring relationships” to institutions, and now we have “transactional and self-centered relationships to institutions”. Amenable to RW and LW!

I'm gonna try to articulate something I've been thinking about for a while, regarding *why* disillusionment, distrust, & dissatisfaction with democracy are rising.

Almost everything I read takes this phenomenon as an exogenous shock, assuming no one chose to make it so. I suspect that's incomplete.

my shorthand to cut through this consumerism is effective, but philosophically radical for the age: beware and reject any framing that doesn’t have you, yourself, implicated in the problems and solutions and benefits and labors of a group. You’re not just here for the bennies, you’re *a part* of it!

the implementation process is just,,, weird af often

idek how to describe

heartpunk (sophie!!) @heartpunk.bsky.social · 10h

but like i do think it's a really cool style even if i'm not great at actually executing it fluently yet either

which i guess is part of how i work, which is honestly very little in a certain sense

i put way more into making sure i'm ready to build the right thing, and then after that it's wild

heartpunk (sophie!!) @heartpunk.bsky.social · 10h

so i guess i more mean i am terrified of it

which is true

i guess there is a bit of a difficulty of how to describe what i do and how i work, but, i could also like, just... not do that so much and respond to inquiries and share the raw process?????? idk

i rly like how i approach my work and i'm actually really proud of it in a lot of ways i'm just not a normal polished professional techie bitch and i dk how to just present myself as what i am w/nothing else to it and disclaim everything i'm not trying to be

i mean, except to just do it

hmmm i do think it's *more* this way w/reading but it's defs not binary at all either

we bring so much to what we watch

someone said consumption is a productive act once and i've really thought about that a lot since

(i love ur take tho regardless!!)

heartpunk (sophie!!) @heartpunk.bsky.social · 12h

ok also this video of a woman trying to become a cheerleader (sorta it's a gimmick show but she is doing the application process thing???)

the way they treat them??? nah i'm not into that lol too much like childhood emotional abuse

heartpunk (sophie!!) @heartpunk.bsky.social · 12h

i am feeling a lot more hopeful rn but i don't know why tbqh

like

objectively nothing much has changed

i am still in a bad situation even if the research stuff goes well enough

but i will keep trying and we'll see where it gets me

i could luck out if it goes well? it also could be impossible

heartpunk (sophie!!) @heartpunk.bsky.social · 15h

just did my weekly call w/a friend and fjadkls;jksdlakalsd;

i'm so fucking scared and not ok

afaict:

- this research has to save my life or
- i have to get way more help from others or
- a miracle

or i'm just gonna fucking die here like this i swear to fucking god

heartpunk (sophie!!) @heartpunk.bsky.social · 12h

i wish i could've been a cheerleader :(

bcz if u wanna feel like you helped, when u find out u didn't, u defend or dissociate

if you wanna be sure you did help and you find out u didn't, u correct that shit and ask what you can do or could've done

anyway i'm gonna see if i can get money for food from my parents or if that'll be a fight

heartpunk (sophie!!) @heartpunk.bsky.social · 15h

like

yes

ppl have done shit before

ppl have done a good bit for me and i really appreciate the ways they've put themselves out for me

but i also am not gonna pretend that it's always all it's cracked up to be

a lotta the times it was more about feeling like they helped than being sure they did

heartpunk (sophie!!) @heartpunk.bsky.social · 15h

especially not while fucking selectively mute holy fuck

like genuinely i fkljsd;jsdakl;fjklasd;

i just have to presume ppl don't believe my disability don't give a fuck or are counting on a miracle

bcz nothing else explains this level of not fucking seriously trying to do shit

heartpunk (sophie!!) @heartpunk.bsky.social · 15h

anyway i'm really hungry and lonely and scared and this is the outcome of spending time trying to strategize about what i can do to make things better

like i really tried to figure out how i can do it i tried i'm trying but i jfkl;adsfjkldsjfkl; can't do research and pursue funding for it hungry af

heartpunk (sophie!!) @heartpunk.bsky.social · 15h

and idk why anyone else would except not wanting to feel responsible for watching someone fucking waste away w/o doing shit about it

i mean

ok

there are other potential causes but

they do sorta boil down to believing i'm gonna be ok regardless or a somebody else's problem field
