like come the fuck on

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 11h

he's just so photoshoppable tho....

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 11h

like yes i do not take pleasure from the tacking to the centre but i would hope we're all grown ups able to do some tactical war of position type thinking among people broadly on our side yknow

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 11h

im even more concerned with people who supposedly do not have very online politics (journos, authors, academics) doing the same thing lol

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 19h

the ones where i will lose if i get distracted by whatevers on my phone or second monitor

important life advice

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

the one i was pretending about was going to the dining room to hang out in the villa in san gimignano

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

there are many times it is easier to hitch a gondola ride than take the mass transit option (quick travel)

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

oh i definitely think you do 2 and i pretended to do the third

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

i mean this was the turning point smh

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

being a game where you do european things like having a leisurely lunch or taking a small private taxi for an awkward trip that public transport doesn't quite cover or admiring renaissance art without really knowing what you're looking at

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

look at my wildly enthused face in front of its high temple
tbh the last train was not very delayed and was a lovely place to be for four and a half hours

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

as for AC i don't think they've made a Europe game that is about being in Europe since brotherhood. they have the soul of the quebecois which is strange and uncanny and possibly nefarious

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

you don't need a europeans soul to appreciate britain. this is why sword/shield was better than x/y and scarlet/violet

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

fuckin made it
woi

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

the Devs don't ..

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

i think you need to have a european soul to enjoy paris

so im trying to figure out how the qualitative specificity of gender is articulated in the disadvantage and devaluation that accrues to gender. i dont think cf endnotes or winant/battistoni we can sustain this explanation with a sex-blind labour market expressing prior sexed disadvantage

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

if gender were a thing merely shoving people into worse bargaining positions, it should be more homogeneous and more contiguous with other forms of oppression (fully admitting they can be subject to different dynamics)

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

that just doesnt seem to happen - women have a lower labour participation rate *and* a lower unemployment rate, and labour lit seems to say the labour-cost of womanhood is shrinking while racial gaps are increasing. and the occupational/industry distributions dont match either

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

the problem im thinking around is that the qualitative distribution isnt actually even - if everyone with low bargaining power ended up in shit, coincidentally service/care, work we would expect some qualitative similarities to the labour/exclusion that different marginalised ppl do experience

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

the sidestep here is that women are in shit jobs because they have the historic marginalisation of sexism to contend with, and its genuinely coincidental that the content of the jobs is affective, caring, reproductive etc. it meets a historical moment where everyone gets shuffled into this work

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

pretty much every marxist theory of gender involves some kind of personal devaluation that organises women+the feminised into low/unpaid work. its harder from there to explain why the work is so routinely reproductive in nature

alexis @regresssion.bsky.social · 1d

im trying to make a conscious effort to spell out my work a little more clearly to other people, it gives me a lot of motivation and joy when i do. today really has been for trying to figure out what i think about this very much load bearing argument from gabe winant
