longform opinions to thwart the average blogger below
i joke about being aligned with anarcho-primitivism because IHS explores it, but I'm more aligned with post-development and decolonial theory. i may post through national democratic perspectives but i'm not affiliated with any orgs at the moment. also i dabble in ecology and environmental studies so that informs my stuff too.
fandom promotes reactionary behavior. what started as support for transformative work and artists has metastasized into ideals that align with anti-intellectualism and imperialist consumerism. in other words, bigotry is tolerated under the guise of fiction being separate and without material influence on reality.
for example, using censorship as a shield to justify fetishizing racism, pedophilia, incest, and other taboo. the overall zeitgeist right now is "transgression" through edginess— it's all vice signalling to look cooler. while i agree that complex, challenging, and "dark" topics should not be censored, they are not immune from criticism and do not exist in a vacuum.
Another example I'm vehemently against is the commodification in fandom, where fan artist merch depends on large-scale exploitative production in the Global South, especially in plastics. I have seen sustainable business models, especially in textiles, but it is not the norm.
i'm not interested in settler colonial definitions of being transgender. this doesn't mean that i think transgenderism is a Western concept invading the rest of the world either. [I am transmisogyny exempt.] I agree that transmisogyny is rampant everywhere and I believe it is in part because of colonialism.
What I disagree with is the current trend that brands gender nonconformity and nonbinary identities as "the wrong kind of transgender", which mostly aligns with the aging ideas of transmedicalism. more importantly, it neglects to acknowledge access to HRT and gender affirming care in the Global South.
hence i am adapting the term "Anonymized Global South" from the Mardoll debacle as a representation of white trans people benefiting from Whiteness. Whiteness is used as the reactionary unifying factor against in the rising transphobia in the West, at the expense of everyone else.
I believe in the value of different worldviews and perspectives but I also believe in blocking liberally.
Fossil records indicate "Americans" have been coming onto people's posts to do this shit since at least the late Devonian period. Despite the evolutionary pressures to the contrary, they have never learned that it's fucking annoying.
i agree that kids deserve and need more access to HRT earlier in life should they desire to transition but i really hate that the main argument in favor of it is "we need to have people transition earlier before PERMANENT IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE makes it so they can NEVER EVER look like their desired gender and they'll be FOREVER UGLY AND CLOCKY"
ive been trying to think of a witty caption but my dads apartment is so full of mold spores that I just kinda give up. Figure it out.🖕 Yawa kamo tanan #Schizotypal
i think it’s a good idea to make a separate individual post that isn’t a bunch of paragraphs but yeah basically my situation is: ive lived under a slumlord for years, he filed to evict me and my disabled mom who I take care of after we tested for mold and every room tested positive, he was convinced by legal aid to drop the eviction and give us until the end of the month to leave and we both have apartments in different cities lined up but not nearly enough money to cover the costs of moving including: rent and down payments, rental trucks and gas. (Also just other costs of living at the same time). We’re moving on the 25th and on very limited time id really appreciate any help cashapp and venmo are @ ishaanjs &thank you to everyone who has helped me and given me advice or support these last couple months it means a lot
