Not having a job is not a moral failure. Being a "basement dweller" is not a moral failure. Neither is living with your parents or being dependent on your family or partner(s) or being housebound.

Capitalism has tricked you into believing that your only value in this world is how much money you can make for someone else. It has also tricked you into seeing "unproductive" people, especially disabled people, as drains on a society literally built to help take care of them.

Jobless people are not your enemies. Disabled people are not your enemies. Get over yourself.

"you hate capitalism because you're jealous of rich people" well I wouldn't mind having an in-ground pool but there's also other reasons to hate capitalism such as the fact that owning a chocolate company that doesn't use fucking child slavery earns you praise because it's so uncommon, or the fact that it by design results in repeat economic collapses when the average consumer can't afford to stimulate the economy, or the fact that our future (and current) existence on planet earth is full of detrimental environmental disasters because pursuing fossil fuels was more profitable in the short-term, or the fact that entire wars are started specifically to make money, or...yeah the list goes on

also like, yeah, i AM jealous of rich people. i DO think about how cool and fun it would be to have a billion dollars. i could build my own food forest. i could open up a zillion homeless shelters. i could save the last red wolves, my favorite subspecies, who are in their very last days and will be extinct by the end of the decade. i could buy ALL the fabric i want. i could hire artists to inlay my floors with roman mosaics of hunky gladiators fighting godzilla. i could hire the magic chocolate guy to make me a different random item for desert every week. i could get alexander mcqueen to do more menswear lines and have a backyard full of beautifully dressed sexy space elves pretend to like my fanfiction. i could make sure all my friends are safe and healthy. i could recarve mt rushmore into my little ponies or hand it back to the native people who revered it in the first place. i could hire a guy with a bullhorn to follow elon musk around and recite the obituaries of everyone who dies in a tesla factory. if i was rich i would have fun forever. instead these lame ass nervous wrecks are going around with the net worth of entire nations and they're on twitter begging for love from strangers who can't afford to go to the dentist. how does that not make you crazy!!!

I have, through no fault of my own, been to the homes of a couple of Super Rich people in my life, and what struck me was how incredibly conventional they all were. It was all just middle-class Live Laugh Love decor, only a lot more of it. I don’t understand it. You make more than the GDP of a small country and the only thing you can think of to do is get a bigger walk-in closet? Twenty thousand square feet of house, all of it apparently decorated from TJ Maxx? You could have a two-story bronze sculpture of a water buffalo fighting Mothman in the middle of the kitchen, but instead opted for fridge magnets saying “Bless This Mess?”

I don’t believe billionaires should exist, but for god’s sake, if we must have them, at least they should be interesting. Have a pet rhinoceros or a room full of Fabregé eggs and two-headed calves in bottles! Install stained glass windows featuring the crew of Star Trek: The Next Generation! Donate baffling public art installations to small towns!

I am resigned to fighting evil, but fighting banality makes me tired. Also, if I am ever a billionaire, I’m putting a megaceros skeleton in the foyer.

Israel isn't just breaking international law. It's creating precedent and changing it to make this violence permissible. What happens to Palestinians matters for everyone, everywhere. It sets a precedent that means no where else in the globe is safe. What more do we need to act?

Shinjuku Boys is a 1995 documentary about the lives of Kazuki, Tatsu, and Gaish, three self-identified onabe, an expansive term that can encompass both butch lesbians and trans men.
