Long-overdue blog tidying, new pinned post to follow on from my bio:

Autistic communist of Ukrainian Jewish descent, from London, nonbinary transfem lesbian

No specific theme so mostly just general shit, political shit and special interest stuff (music, various games but mostly strategy & RPGs, Star Wars, martial arts, motorsport)

Here's a directory of my OCs, writing etc. (the link is broken again in-app, for browsers it's libertineangel.tumblr.com/writing)

Here's the Principles of Communism, edited for 21st century clarity

Here's a short, comprehensive guide on how to pirate things online

Here's a very quick simple guide on how to steal audio

I look like this, for the curious

My Discogs profile, mutuals are welcome to ask for any CD rips! Also, my LastFM!

Mutuals can ask for my NSFW sideblog if they want (other followers can shoot your shot too I guess but no guarantees)

My asks & inbox are always open!

It's easy to talk about how British architecture isn't suited to these rising temperatures but if you want an easy practical example, the front door of my house was not designed for this heat so now every summer it expands, you gotta really shove it just to get in or out of the house and it squeaks loudly against the frame

So I saw on tiktok that Palestinian journalist, Bisan Owda, has called for a boycott of Spider-Man: Brand New Day because its producer, Avi Arad, has publicly supported the genocide of the Palestinian people and has defended Netanyahu

I’m also seeing that there are posts about it on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, but I’m not seeing any posts about it on Tumblr? Am I not looking up the right keywords in the search bar or are we all out of the loop?

(I can’t find the original post from Owda because I have the worst time navigating Instagram, but this link is from The Jamia Times on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DblMMDKTyub/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== )

[Image ID: Picture of a quote from Bisan Owda that reads: “Waiting for Zendaya and Tom Holland to say something about this maybe? We cannot separate art from accountability. Every ticket sold supports a production led by a producer who has publicly defended Israel’s war on Gaza. Boycott is one of the few peaceful tools we have to demand justice.” /End ID]

Anyone know if lesbian sex is real or just one of those things people say in posts

Thermostat on the wall says 27° but it's always distinctly warmer upstairs and even warmer still in my room specifically, I'm probably hitting low 30s already here and it's fucking 6:30AM, how the fuck am I supposed to sleep in these conditions

[libertineangel]

Courtney Barnett was right, it's 40 degrees and I feel like I'm dying!!!!

God my head fucking hurts, two days in a row my only sleep has been from like 1:30PM-5:30PM, this is horrendous

To be completely honest the thought of summer only getting worse than this year upon year as the planet continues to die does make me want to kill myself

“Mid-set, Brownstein, who shares lead-vocal duties with Timony, looked across the stage at her co–front woman and grinned with a mix of pride and awe. Timony was wailing into the mike in a fitted little dress, leg propped up on her stage monitor, flashing her underwear to the front row.”

i know i’ve made this post before, but i just, really like how category theory tends to lead people to write sentences that use diagrams as clauses??

like, you look at

and it’s a completely normal sentence! which feels very natural to write or read! but, well, there’s no way to convert those diagrams to… words. there’s no order in which they’re supposed to be read, no convention for how it’s supposed to turn into sounds in your brain, and in fact it… just doesn’t, yknow? you switch between “read words” mode and “decrypt diagram” mode without even thinking about it and the whole thing somehow parses as a sentence in your brain anyways.

you also get incredibly cool stuff like

i mean just look! he put a semicolon after the diagram! a semicolon actually needs to be there or the thing won’t be grammatical! here after something that is not written to be expressable in words! it’s so! ugh! i love it!!!

in fact there’s like, multiple conventions as to where the punctuation is supposed to go after diagrams. johnstone above has been kind of old fashioned w/ putting the punctuation after the first line, these days people tend to write stuff like

where the punctuation goes after the rightmost symbol of the bottommost line of the diagram.

anyways. isn’t that neat? like, linguistically.

I don't think being gay or from [insert country here] absolves you from calling people bitches/slags/cunts/etc
