“The revolution will be televised” Creative writer, pursuing a degree that is not creative writing. Love is love; trans women are women. AI is overrated. Just because it’s not for me, doesn’t mean it’s harming someone.

we're far too culturally obsessed with men who are mean and rough around the edges but turn out to be big softies underneath it all when, in reality, most men who are like this are simply dicks

Whenever I accuse Western scholars of being “racist,” they always become defensive, insisting that they are merely criticising “systems” and “governments,” as though racism ends with crude prejudice against the intrinsic traits of other peoples. This is not how racism functions in the 21st century. Even historically, racism was fundamentally about the maintenance of structures of hierarchy. While it was once more fashionable to attribute deceitfulness, cowardice, and other supposedly inherent defects to “Asiatic races,” contemporary discourses of “democracy” and “authoritarianism” have become à la mode instead: a narrower, more elegant means of maintaining normative hierarchies and portraying other civilisations as defective and in need of domination, sorry, “democratisation.”

"this country is spending too much on their military. so we (larger more powerful nation which has been antagonizing them for decades) will invade them- and crush them easily!" okay well from the sound of it they actually should have been spending more on their military.

today i learned that Fidel’s mother (a poor cuban) was originally his father’s (a well off, domineering Spaniard) domestic servant. one doesn’t need a full biography to extrapolate the levels of exploitation and coercion that kind of relationship entails. and she raised a man who would go on to dedicate his entire existence fighting for women and all oppressed peoples the likes of which latin america has never seen before or since
