i'm basically aspiring to be an older minor character in a hip young adult novel. i try and write meaningful things, but mostly i reblog sports and cats. marx is my bro, but so is foucault.

My thirteen + nine hour flight is slightly more bearable with this amazing read. It's complex and I don't always agree with the author and her perspective, but what a fantastic history/enthnography of a movement that could be, and often was, a paradigmatically anarchist political movement (but as a consequence, also often turned ugly, reflecting the elite and privileged demographics of it in a way Coleman seems a bit blind to). Super recommend it -- also it would be great to support verso who published it!

Just would like to alert everyone to the fact that my pants contain the garden of earthly delights.

Do you think boycotting the Oscars is the answer? I don’t know. I mean, I wouldn’t mind it. I’m a kind of revolutionary. But I think it’s more important to boycott the system itself. When you plop down money to see a film, you have to be more demonstrative about what you want to see. We do it on TV all the time. That’s why shows either stay on the air or they go. It’s the same thing with movies. – Viola Davis

i am not a woman of colour

i want to write a longer post on this sometime, but lately i’ve been thinking about the term woman of colour, and how much it’s always been a horribly uncomfortable one for me. it’s taken me a long time to come around to this, but it’s really relieving to distance myself from that title. i am an indian woman, and perhaps (?) maybe (?) willing to call myself a brown woman, but i think calling myself a poc or woc makes me feel pulled into this american identity classification that doesn’t represent my history, experiences, or upbringing. it pulls me under several oppressions i absolutely have not experienced, such as classroom bullying of woc, or beauty standards for woc, or any of their other intersectional american experiences, and it pulls me out of several opressions i have experienced, of being a foreigner and a noncitizen and of belonging to the quote unquote global south. i think it also masks my status as a middle class brahmin, painting me in a position of suboordination when i am really in a position of complicity with power. it also just pulls me into this parochial, claustrophobic, and caged and suffocating domestic-american-politics-only box which i am neither qualified nor desire to speak for or work within when i feel like my professional and personal interests rest more with thinking of american foreign policy, and global issues of justice outside this small american context that oversaturates the discourse in the fields i occupy (online, at uni, etc). identifying as an indian woman as opposed to a woc/poc definitely helps me feel more at home in who i am and where my calling lies and what issues i want to center myself on and just makes me feel more independent and more seperate from america which i really, really need, because i am so not a part of this country, nor do i desire to be.
