what do those slashes and letters mean?

Along with that, I am a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist and do frequently post about politics on all my platforms. The following link includes information on how to read socialist theory as a neurodivergent individual and what theory would be best to read if ur interested : )

Of course someone on Tumblr, a predominantly white platform, would issue a complaint about Clark from the Backrooms being written in a "raceblind" way.

Not every story involving a black person needs to include themes of racism. Everytime I see someone complain about a black character being written as "raceblind," I can guarantee 9 times out of 10 it is a white person complaining. The average black person does not like it when every single show that involves a person looking like them having to face racism, because racism is traumatic. For any white person reading this that cannot understand this concept, it would be like if every time a queer person was in media, they faced homophobia or transphobia. It is exhausting.

This is my honest perspective on Clark as someone who comes from a mixed family, but I recognized Clark. I recognized him from a lot of people in my family. It is genuinely a part of why I found myself sympathizing with him so much. All of the people in my life who I consider father figures are either Afro-Latino or African-American, so honestly if Clark was white, I don't think his story would've hit the same for me. There are a million white guys in business casual that are misogynistic assholes. I see them all the time. There are probably another million white guys in movies that are high-masking alcoholics. Guys like Clark exist in real life, and I know that because I have met them. His writing wasn't race-blind, it was genuinely realistic, and it hit me as someone whose known people like Clark.

Seeing Clark just existing as a black man, and yes even if his character is a misogynistic asshole, did genuinely enrich the experience for me. I am glad his actor was black, because people do deserve people that look like us, or like people we love, and we don't need the story to spin out to some big narrative about oppression for black people to be included. It isn't "race blind" for Clark, as a black man, to be a misogynistic asshole, for there are black men who are misogynistic assholes in real life. Black people can just exist, with all their strengths and flaws, as black people do in real life.

Captain Clark is very relatable, if I’d see a very square, symmetrical looking 167cm tiny guy descend into my house I’d want him back too.

Sorry to post about the backroooms on my akotsk dedicated account, unfortunately it will probably happen again. This series from Kane has been more of a background interest of mine for years now, so the posting won’t last long since I wouldn’t consider myself to be too crazy about it.

I found out today that there was a (thankfully very ill-fated) attempt to have the entire Wikipedia article on discrimination against transgender men deleted. At first I thought the perpetrator was yet another bargain bin transphobe/TERF act of disruption but apparently not so, she is a trans woman. The user in question had been disputing the use of transandrophobia in the article as being inappropriate, but as other editors pointed out, the way in which it was used was as to be expected (basically saying “hey this term is being used commonly right now in places to describe this phenomena”). When attempts to get the article edited to remove any mention of the term failed, this user instead decided to just nominate the whole article for deletion instead. She even went as far as to say “you will never be a man” to the editors disputing this, though it was quickly deleted. It’s the actions of only a single person, but I find this indicative of how the chronic devaluing and othering of transmasculine people and voices in faux-transfeminist spaces leads to action basically indistinguishable from cis transphobes. Resorting to attempted vandalism of an online resource and blatant transphobia is a symptom of this trend that deserves absolutely no patience at this point.

Ive been bad abt updating sorry. Ive been sick since last Friday and early early this morning it took a bad turn and I had to go to the emergency room bc I couldn't breathe. Now I have to use a damn inhaler 😭😭😭😭 another prescription im gonna have to fill. And they said I NEED to see my gastro sooner rather than later. I called yesterday tryna be proactive and made an appt for August 25th but now that the emergency room dr says I need to go sooner I'll call a few times over the next week and see if any sooner openings pop up. Im scared y'all. I rly thought it was the end for me as my wife was giving me the heimlich. It was such a strange feeling. Also ive had such a headache since then wow lmfaoooo. Anyway, what a great way to start the weekend, my upper respiratory infection and GERD combined to choke me almost to death. absolutely a damn mess.

Anyway im back home now but i rly need funds to get the steroids I have to take and my lil rescue inhaler I now have to use i guess at my big age 😭😭😭😭
