I think the ultimate problem with contemporary Anglo discussion around Lovecraft is that his fundamental beliefs are still accepted by the mainstream; he just expressed them in ways that are considered excessive and distasteful. Like you can write all you want about genetic degeneration on a combined physical and moral level, the inevitable fall of decadent orientalist empires or the constant onslaught of savage insanity against rational civilised life. It's fine as long as you separate it from literal reality by a degree or 2; many people who might otherwise take issue with 19th century level racism and eugenics won't bat an eyelid if it's directed against orcs or aliens or post-nuclear mutants.

Like it's very common for someone to oppose the surface signifiers of bigotry while having no real disagreement with the deeper ideology behind it. Just look at how enthusiastic some people are about "progressively" making up slurs for robots (which is totally fine because robots aren't real okay!!!!!). Their only problem with Lovecraft is that he went out of his way to say explicitly racist shit about Africans and Pacific Islanders and Inuits and... If you went and surgically edited out the specific racist comments while leaving the deeper implicit racism fully intact, Lovecraft's work would be no different than a lot of things written today. So your typical Lovecraft derivative has little reason to actually remove the racism of the source material; it just needs to be made a little more palatable

Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza:

Daily statistical report on the number of martyrs and injured due to the "israeli" aggression on the Gaza Strip

138 martyrs (including 3 martyrs whose bodies were recovered) and 771 injuries arrived at Gaza Strip hospitals during the past 24 hours.

A number of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, as ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to reach them until now

The number of aid martyrs who arrived at hospitals during the past 24 hours reached 87 martyrs and 570 injuries, bringing the total number of livelihood martyrs who reached hospitals to 1,655 martyrs and over 11,800 injuries.

Gaza Strip hospitals recorded 5 new deaths due to famine and malnutrition during the past 24 hours, including one child and 7 adults.

Thus, the total number of famine and malnutrition victims rises to 193 martyrs, including 96 children.

something i see irritatingly often from self-proclaimed communists on this website is a deeply liberal assumption that racism is an uncontroversially solved problem which then can be used as a yardstick by which the response to other bigotries can be measured and found lacking

like that one tweet about how everyone has to do a collective struggle session about hp lovecraft whenever he comes up... i mean that's just not true. that doesn't happen. usually there'll be a jokey acknowledgment of his cat or some aspect of his beliefs that white usamericans feel removed from to be comfortable with discussing like his feelings on italians or welsh people and thats all you're getting. genuine interrogation of how lovecraft's racism affects the fundamnetal underpinnings of his work and how that's influenced the entire modern sci-fi and fantasy genres is not a super mainstream discourse that we are all constantly being forced to engage with and its kind of silly to pretend it is

I’m reading a paper that uses the term re-transition as opposed to detransition and it crystallised a lot of my problems with the term. detransition implies an ability to return to the “default” “normal” cisgender body that lurks within all of us, just waiting to be re-excavated after a period of intentional (deceitful) burial, and a turning “back” or away from the freakish mutilation and “deviance” of transgender transition to a more natural, more authentic body - a body that can never be transformed, only temporarily cloaked by medicine and social trickery on the part of trans people

The woman, aged about 50, was buried in a Siberian ice cave and discovered millennia later.

She was a 50 y.o. Siberian woman from 2500 years ago, living a nomadic lifestyle, and look at her tattoos...

Look...

I'm going to cry

Really worried about Chris Smalls. People who spoke up for Greta, should speak up louder for him.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition and Adalah Legal Center just posted an update that Chris Smalls, along with Hatem Aouini (Tunisia), are still detained in an Israeli prison under violent and inhumane conditions right now, and are expected to be deported tomorrow Thursday July 31.
