"You're not the main character" also applies to thinking that you're so uniquely horrible that everyone you meet is deeply invested in judging and hating you. That's just as much of a cognitive distortion as believing that you're the center of everyone's admiration. I promise you that other people got their own lives to live and their own struggles and flaws to cope with.

Lol, here's a fun one: if you had been born in the medieval era and without access to modern medicine, how long would you have lived? If I managed to survive being born (unlikely) I would have died at age 22 from appendicitis :) hbu?

probably depends on how poor of choices ye olde doctor made in trying to get the pussywillow bud out of my nose when was four. if I didn’t end up with a horrible deadly infection from that I might still be alive, assuming no one’s tried me as a witch or something

abdominal migraines at the tender age of 6 would’ve gotten me taken to church for concerns of possession and things likely would not have gone on much longer from there

honestly pointing out that wellerman is a work song about having a shit job with a shit employer and that it isn’t some kind of endorsement of the slave trade is valid and all but like

are we not going to talk about how ridiculous the idea of “cancelling” a song from the 19th century for having problematic themes is

somecunttookmyurl

broke: you should stop singing or listening to the wellerman because it’s about the slave trade and suppression of native maori woke: wellerman is literally about working in indentured servitude for an oppressive company and isn’t a fucking endoresement of that do you even understand what work songs are, like, as a genre jesus give me strength bespoke: debating the moral purity of a song from the 19th century is fucking stupid

gentilchat

@karmenofchaos @banjedo I thought they were KIDDING about the discourse about Wellerman

banjedo

they are not!

yes, the company wellerman was oppressing maori people, but in a lot of ways it’s like how amazon is now. the people that work there have no choice but to work there, and they themselves can’t do anything about the fact that it’s oppressing another group because they need money to live, because that’s how capitalistic monopolies work.

somecunttookmyurl

you are correct! it is also important to note roughly 1/3 of the shore whalers involved here were themselves native maori and would have joined in with singing “soon mr. fuckface will come back and give me the tea he pays me in lieu of actual money. hopefully someday i can stop cutting out whale tongues and fuckin’ LEAVE! if we’re really lucky he’ll get killed by a whale!” no part of this song is remotely positive towards the weller brothers, let alone “glorifying violence against maori” or whatever the fuck. but the point remains that trying to cancel a song from the 1800s for referencing problematic themes is really really stupid because it’s acting like a) a colonialist-era work song referencing the colonialist system in which they worked is somehow news and b) that it would be at all reasonable to expect otherwise. “there’s stuff about the 1800s in my song from the 1800s!” oh word? on god?

cant stop thinking abt ursula k. le guin’s essay abt the carrier bag theory….. she’s like, maybe the first human tool was not a weapon, but rather something that holds, a bag, a pouch, a vessel, something for gathering and storing and sharing. let’s shift the narrative of humanity from that of violence to that of safekeeping. and i’m like

remnantglow

and THEN she’s like, a novel is also a carrier bag. there’s the Hero’s story, sure, but there’s room enough in fiction for every experience, for every little thing, and it’s that other story, the life story, that she seeks……. o|-<

remnantglow

turns out the entire essay is online (thanks, Anarchist Library) and i really can’t recommend it enough
