That chatgpt commercial where the girls like My granddaddy farmed this land and my daddy farmed this land now i farm thisland :) Dont wanna mess it up! and shes asking chatgpt how to fix stuff around the farm and to generate reports for her. And in the last shot its revealed that her father is actually still alive and mobile and able to speak with her so why are you asking the answer generator instead of the guy whos been actually doing the thing youre trying to do
deciding one day that you want to build a life for yourself is so scary. like damn I really want to live… I’m new to this. where do I even begin
Increasingly, I believe that there is really nothing much politically interesting in sexual object-choice. Like, being into leather isn't more or less radical/capitalist/reactionary/whatever than being into pool toys, or blondes, or men.¹
This is sort of prompted by my reading of some nonfiction journalistic sex-writing recently (Federova's Second Skin at the moment) which seems very invested in the radical potential of certain kinds of sex-object. For Fedorova, commodity fetishes (latex, leather, etc) are supposed to be a way that the individual de-alienates their relationship to the commodity form.
This is appealing: Suppose I am into leather, and I pay close attention to the creases, the stitching, the subtle shine, the weathering, and other intimate physical features of a pair of leather boots; this seems to bring me closer to the object in itself—I am penetrating its aura; I am de-familiarizing the commodity, making it novel again.
There are two obvious problems with this. First, it misunderstands where in the chain of production alienation comes about. It kind of produces a sort of demand-side Marxism, where alienation is about the consumer's relationship to the commodity. De-mystifying the commodity won't bring me closer to the raw material! It should bring my gaze, in fact, away from the object "itself" and towards the conditions of its production.
Second, this perspective assumes that sexual commodity fetishism has really much to do with the material at all. There is nothing about leather that makes it inherently fit for sexualization. It is a pleasant accident of history that leather became a popular fetish-object.² Federova (who I am just treating as a representative of this line of argument, perhaps unfairly) ends up producing a line of argument which sounds unfortunately much like Freud's argument about Fetishism. The one where he suggests that all the perverts he knows in Vienna are into heavy furs because the fur is a substitute for pubic hair. I don't think even Freud really bought into this one.
¹I would note, though, that there might be a way that fetishism does provide a possible line-of-flight away from hegemonic sexuality. But it doesn't guarantee that. And I'd suggest that this has more to do with the relationship between self and object-choice than in any intrinsic features of that object-choice.
²Consider, reader, the world in which Tom of Finland drew a bunch of burly men in heavy wool coats.

Every time you reblog this post another one goes. You wouldn’t, would you :(
maybe y'all didn't notice but fat people who don't hate ourselves sure did notice that people were obsessed with shitting on fat people in the late 90s and early 2000s (conservative political time) and now are again (fascist political time), coincidentally while the market for weight loss has become a 90 billion dollar industry due to glp1s.
you are not immune to propaganda. it makes some people a whole hell of a lot of money for you to hate fat people and fear becoming (or staying, I think like 70% or something of the US is fat) one of us.
a lot of the fearmongering over fatness comes from studies directly funded by the weight loss industry...i think people don't really realize or think about the fact that research can absolutely be influenced and skewed by its funding. there is also research that shows that an amount of the negative health outcomes for fat people come from anti-fat bias. if you go to the doctor with concerns and the doctor simply tells you to lose weight, your problem is neglected and you may not even bother going to the doctor with the next problem.
every fat person you know for the most part probably has a story like this, of medical neglect. many of the stories i've heard personally are when the complaint or the doctor wasn't related at all, like being told to lose weight at the ear nose and throat doctor or at the dentist. it's straight up just bias. it's such a thing that in the show Shrill it's portrayed, when Aidy Bryant goes to the gynecologist and her doctor suggests she get gastric bypass.
the studies on health and fatness are simply not that black and white and there is basically no research that shows that more than an incredibly tiny minority of people can lose weight and keep it off for more than like 2 years. bodies have set points that they gravitate towards, it's not a personal failure. this also is how the weight loss industry succeeds so well - repeat customers.
some of the harm associated with fatness is also due to weight cycling, which is very hard on your body and is even worse if you get off a GLP1, which according to a recent study causes weight to be regained at a rate that is 4x faster than without taking a GLP1.
you don't have to hate yourself. you don't have to hate other people for their body type either. it makes me so sad to see the thinspo tag going around again in 2026 a lot like it was back in the day.
