My neurodivergence has a lot to do with why I'm anarchist who thinks this world order needs to be scrapped for something new. I don't fit here. I never fit from the day I was born. It always hurt, I always struggled to pass & make it, & I don't think I'm the only one, I think the system's wrong.

Observing the start of a carefully calculated rehabilitation campaign, I note mention of a nearly finished new book. I wonder who in publishing is now watching responses to gauge likely profits from unswerving fans versus costly outrage from the wider SF&F community. Doubtless time will reveal all.

yesterday just before I went to sleep my cat went to the litter box and then immediately wanted to jump on my bed to ask for pets.
I had to kick her out of bed, and when I tell you that I've never seen such a naked look of betrayal on her face lol

right like it seriously needs to be reiterated a billion times that the incidents here aren't conspiratorially unique but a machinic form of patriarchal violence and violation that occurs in fractals and scales at all levels of society. sexual abuse is the glue of structures of exploitation
I need people to understand that it’s not just Epstein, it’s the entire rape culture that existed before and after him at every socioeconomic level. That’s why Epstein, who I’ve never thought was particularly smart or interesting, was able to pull this all off—he recognized how abuse functions

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Nat isn’t talked about for the same reason all Black History is in danger & the rich history of the numerous, unending slave revolts & uprisings are suppressed.
It serves today’s oppressors to present slaves as docile, subservient & deserving.
That violently resisting our status quo is ignoble.

More people need to learn about Nat Turner. Unfortunately I've found he's not talked about as much

Audre Lorde, in a 1989 commencement address, said, "Remember this, despair is a tool of your enemies. That rumor, 'You can’t fight City Hall,' is circulated by City Hall. Facing the realities of our lives gives us the motivation for action, it gives us the power to change. You are not powerless."

yknow, the only time I've successfully managed to change a conservative family member's opinion on something, was when I explained reparations to my dad.
like, my father's often loathe to respect other people's identities and struggles, but he still lived through the April 25th revolution (1/8)
