when u plug a phone into a computer the comupter always charges the phone even if she has less charge than the phone bc the computer thinks that due to her size she always needs to provide for those smaller than her even when it hurts her more than it helps others. btw

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.

ive been reading the open veins of latin america and one chapter is called "the sugar is the dagger and the empire is the assassin". galeano (the writer) goes on to explain how cuba was (at the time of writing) moving its economy forward and exporting a lot of sugar. sugar, however, had become a simbol of colonial and imperialist oppression due to how the vast sugarcane plantations of cuba drained the land and ended all diversity of nature, job options and education in the island. it was continuous slavery and humiliation for the cuban people for centuries. yet, while the revolutionary government also sought to diversify its agriculture, it also had been achieving extremely high levels of productivity in the sugar sector and exporting primarily to the rest of the socialist bloc. and this is really interesting: sugar is the dagger, and not the murderer, because it is not the actual cause of the poverty and oppression cuba faced. it was imperialism. sugar, like any other physical economic thing is a mere mechanism. it can be used by the empire against cuba or by cuba against the empire.

really reminds me of situations like anti-civs decrying soviet industrialization (which saved the country from total nazi subjugation) or people talking about things like colonial-era ships as if they by themselves carried some form of mystic evil aura. cuba learned that this is not the correct way to go forward. both of these are not only idealist perspectives but also deeply SILLY ones. go cuba

There's a really good book on colonialism and cotton, it's an actual analysis of modern capitalism and how it was born BECAUSE of cotton. Beckert's ''Empire of Cotton'' -- studied it in history alongside Landes's ''Wealth and poverty of nations'' (the latter blames subjugation on the subjugated but it's interesting to read how the author tried to rationalise colonialism as an inevitable thing).

The industrial revolution needed the products of colonialism to exist. The current capitalist system wouldn't exist without cotton and how the Global North reorganised the global landscape so they could get cheap labor and raw materials.

It's inseparable -- all across the Global South, all across world history -- cotton and colonialism, sugar and imperialism, bananas and imperialism, lithium and 21st century imperialism. You can't disjoint the raw material from the cruelty they're willing to put third world bodies and lives through to get that raw material for cheap, to broaden the profits, to broaden the luxuries.

That's why colonialism, imperialism, cheap labor, etc aren't theoretical concepts: they're material. They're linked to specific events and strategies and raw materials.

I wish depression were an emergency. I wish someone could take one look at how sick I am and go “oh my god, we need to get you to a hospital!” and then when we get there I get rushed into surgery and the surgeons say “it’s a good thing you brought her here when you did, this is a seriously advanced case” and then they put me under and spend the next ten hours pulling metres of long, sticky black strands of gunk out of my body, throwing it immediately into an incinerator so that it can’t infect anyone else. And then they could stitch me back up and I could rest a few days, and when I leave the hospital everyone can see how much better I am and they congratulate me saying “well done, you’ve been so brave, I’m so glad you’re ok. I love you.”

has anyone noticed that after the porn ban of 2018 tumblr was essentially killed from the mainstream and everyone flocked to other social media sites like twitter and meta. then those sites got enshittified to where twitter became Nazi Central and meta sites had an entire meme around getting “zucced” aka mark zuckerberg himself would ban you for saying a no-no word like fuck. and then the mainstream shifted to tiktok where infamous toddlerspeak sentences like “he got unalived by a pew pew” were born because if you once again say a no-no word like kill or gun or any other word that isn’t corporate i mean kid friendly then the algorithm will bury your post into the ground. and somehow we’ve come full circle and tumblr is now the most bearable social media site because although we can’t have female presenting nipples we can at least talk to each other like adults. has anyone noticed that at all or is it just me and the flaming skull
