It’s just a joke dude. It doesn’t mean anything. Information has no coherent structure . Ideas don’t touch reality

btw do not get it twisted i am so endlessly supportive of female separatism. quite literally billions of women would benefit from significantly more female only spaces, communities, experiences. every single woman on this earth should have access to these resources. every single woman on earth should have the feasible option to never have to interact with males again. every time a woman chooses female separatism they create and enrich themselves and their lives and their female relationships and I refuse to believe any different.

"Racialised" is much better than PoC but I've been leaning a lot on the concept of racial markedness. Because that allows us to make statements like "the name Jamal is racially marked in USA". Rather than saying something like "Jamal is a PoC name", a nonsense statement, saying it's racially marked in USA allows us to contrast with societies like Albania or the Arab countries where the name Jamal is ordinary, thus unmarked.

It's a concept I've kind of imported from linguistic analysis; saying a speech pattern is more or less marked does not really allow us to avoid the subject of who's doing the marking. A statement like "womens' speech is more marked in Lakota" necessitates that we understand that it's the Lakota who are marking womens' speech. A foreigner can't tell the difference and probably doesn't understand why it would thus be weird to see a man using speech patterns associated with women, in the same way an Albanian wouldn't understand why USA people would think Jamal is a Black name.

You! You get it. In my view, if someone is saying "racialised" or "racially marked" without acknowledgement of context, they are doing it in a way that is gramatically incorrect.

People might bring up Vincent van Gogh as an example of a painter who did great work in spite of, or because of, his suffering. I like to think that van Gogh would have been even more prolific and even greater if he wasn't so restricted by the things tormenting him. I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had.

If you made it to November of 2024 with heart left to break I am so so sorry

using "what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament" to mean "yeah i made an embarrassing reference but you understood it which is also embarrassing" is very funny to me

[computationalcalculator]

my favorite part is that absolutely nobody says this except here. so if you use it in public, it's a dead giveaway that you spent the last ten years on tumblr. but then again, they recognized it, which means they were at the devil's sacrament

"Just like there’s no ethical consumption in capitalism, there’s no ethical way of living within the imperial core. I think a lot of people are uncomfortable with, and struggling coming to terms with our current way of life is only possible through exploitation. It sucks, I know. That’s why so many of us who actually do know how this shit works are in a constant cycle of rage, disassociation, and hope. Hard not to be angry at a world you’re forced to live in, that you don’t agree with and basically have zero control over. It’s suffocating." -Ashley Stevens, @The_Acumen on twitter
