the autistic rage that is living with other people, actively waiting to go into a room till everyone's out of the room and doing their own things so you can use the room undisturbed, and the second you walk in there you have seemingly reminded people the room exists as they all need to be in there that very second, literally. everyone could be in there rooms, my grandma could be half asleep watching her soaps, but the second I put my headphones all the way on and start going about washing dishes (I find it relaxing) or fixing a snack, they're all in here

you’re thinking about how easily massive numbers of the wildly antisemitic tankies would have been pulled into the actual political tenets of (esp early to mid 20th century) armed Zionism and you’re laughing?????
#This folks is why analysis of ideology and the structures of an ideology is important#Rather than just random ass ethnic signposting#A lot of people see Zionism as something suspicious and jewy that had to do with Jews - I don’t like them#But the reality of Zionism as an initially distinctly leftist branch of political ideology that sought to liberate an oppressed people#With that tiny niggly wiggly issue of the fact people might#Already have lived on that land???? Ohhhh boy#All these cottage core back to the land the world would be better if I could reject modernity and return to the ancient ways of Farming#Society is broken it cannot be fixed the only option is to found a New Tough society that will fix all our previous problems#And we’ll get round to it in heavily armed leftist commune farming settlements#Which we will defend with violence because any violence in the name of an oppressed people is justified and our legitimacy comes from the#Rifle!!!#The only reason you see this ideology as inherently removed and bizarre is antisemitism and the only reason you see yourself removed from i#Also antisemitism!!!#You would have done numbers in ahdut ha-avoda you would have called Ben gurion abbaleh/#Remember: a bunch of the people who got sucked into this of ideology weren’t the *rich Republican aipac Jews*!*’ your head#They were broke often very secular Jewish leftists working dead end gig economy jobs in farms and sweatshops for whom the idea of a Brave#New World with a. Brave new culture was very appealing and liberating#It offered something new to the broken.#It’s important to talk about this stuff to talk about how it can be undone#But also. The world is not divided into the Oppressed and the Unoppressed#Your political ideology does not stop you from hurting others#No political ideology even anti capitalism or leftism is innately pure- all can harm others#No ethnic and cultural identity no matter how oppressed is free from the potential to subjugate others#No identity or ideology is greater than the right of other people to live freely#Cycles of oppression and the pyramid structure of many empires result in oppressed people harming other oppressed people#Many many goyim think that they’re removed from the logic of Zionism because they aren’t Jews because it’s something wierd and jewy#But I see a lot of the most destructive logics parroted by leftists every day

Images of despair [stellaris version]
#when you're fighting the scourge and making 700+ alloys a month but you NEED MORE#genuinely so glad I invested into a dyson sphere early on to suck the market 100% dry of alloys#pumping out ships because my life depends on it#just imagine. you're a space trader and you heard there's some invasion of bugs somewhere in the galaxy#then the strongest military you've ever seen rolls up and offers you 'any price you name' for spare metal on your ship#you laugh and say '600 energy credits and I'll give you four metal pipes!'#the military says 'deal' and immediately deposits 900 energy credits [the market price of alloys is already increasing]#anyway I'm now sitting here with a military over five times larger than my naval cap#and over four times the population I had before the war#reason: people evacuated the planets the scourge bombed#thousands of pops have settled straight into my empire even in the most dire planets#every square inch of living space is now taken up and every single job is full#every single planet has unemployment [i have an overabundance of consumer goods so I'm just giving them all free stuff]#oh and since I'm gearing the economy now towards 'well. they gotta work SOMEWHERE' [building as many commercial districts as possible]#I am spending hundreds of special resources I do not produce to keep massive company complexes running#imagine this: strange otherworldly beasts are running down your homeworld#you escape into space in a small cargo ship stuffed with people#it's barely enough to be considered a transport but it gets you far enough away to feel safe#as you are running you see the largest collection of ships in your life warp into the system#they unleash hellfire on the aliens and then neuron sweep the planet [the very ground of which got infected]#you shed a tear and look away from the window#three days later you're told you've arrived#you touch down in an extremely busy landing area#there are hundreds of thousands of people everywhere. the mood is joyous#there are screens set up in the square broadcasting the eradication of the aliens#you see people in the crowd you've never seen before. people speak in tongues you've never heard#a guide calls over to you and all the other new arrivals#apparently you weren't the first to run. you won't be the last either#this planet has more than quintoupled its population and is still recieving many people every day#luckily the government has declared they are going to be constructing massive projects to introduce new jobs

2 & 12 for the end of year book ask! 🥰
thanks for sending these! :)
2. Did you reread anything? What?
I reread Exit West by Mohsin Hamid for the book club I run and also began rereading the Skulduggery Pleasant series because I want to remember what is happening for the last 2 books that I have yet to read
12. Any books that disappointed you?
Honestly maybe Fourth Wing. I heard about this book prior to the craze for it and I pre-ordered it based off of one really positive pre-release review and my desire to have dragon stenciled sprayed edges. Then I didn't get to reading it until the fall after all the hype had gone beyond wild and it was just, so very bad. Now I have this pretty book I didn't like, but really is very pretty and I don't know whether to sell it or not.

I agree with it all, about the Content problem in fanfic. Besides the example of the Jegulus Strike. People aren't striking because they want more comments or better reviews. They strike because people abuse them because of the art they want to make as they see fit. Because they are tired of being sent death threads and likes. So rather, the strike can be seen as a reaction to the contentification and the aggressive demand for tailor-made fics that don't cause the slightest bit of unease.
totally get that, and that's why i think it was well-intentioned! i'm gonna try to be like...as clear as i possibly can be about why i included it as an interesting example of the sort of internalized producer/consumer culture that we're all being conditioned to use as our framework for interacting w media.
the reason i included the strike as an example of that culture was because it was the same framework, i think, manifesting in a different way. i understood that the impulse behind it was to say "hey!! you guys are treating us badly!! stop it!!" and i don't think any of the people involved were focused on comments or reviews or anything--like, i get that the intention was to try and stand up to harassment.
but to call it a strike is to frame that action within a producer/consumer economy, because a strike positions certain people--in this case, fanfic writers--as laborers and producers, working at the behest of other people--in this case, fanfic readers. that premise already doesn't really work with fanfic, because readers are writers and writers are readers, so there's not a super clear delineation between who is producing and consuming the "product". but a strike places those lines in the sand, and in doing so it reinforces the idea that there are distinct producers and consumers, and that fanfiction is a product for consumption. otherwise, why would it hurt to withhold that product from consumers?
and like, that's what i mean when i say that we are all being conditioned to think this way about media, and if we aren't careful it's really easy to just internalize this producer/consumer culture. because my impression of the strike is that it was sort of a response to the negative side of this consumer culture that was still working within the framework of that consumer culture. like, i saw people saying: hey!! you're treating our stories like a product for YOUR consumption, and that's bad! so we will be withholding those products from your consumption!! and like....that action only works in that context if we're all agreeing that fanfiction is a product for consumption, because striking is inherently tied to a consumer economy. so while well-intentioned, it still falls into the trap of reinforcing this dichotomy between producers/consumers, with fanfiction as the product in the middle. does that make sense?
and like, while most of the stuff i saw about the strike was people trying to draw attention to harassment, i definitely saw some stuff that was very deeply rooted in this producer/consumer mindset. like, i saw a few posts saying things along the lines of "if you DON'T participate in this strike, you DON'T care about your community," and to me that just seemed a little silly, because with fanfiction your readers are supposed to be your community. like...do you get what i'm saying? if you're truly viewing your readers as a community, and not a consumer audience, then who does it benefit to "withhold" the product/labor/etc? and i understand that the issue was that writers were getting a bunch of readers who were treating themselves like a consumer audience and interacting with the fic that way, but like. if the issue is that someone is approaching you like a consumer, responding in a way that reinforces their position as a consumer isn't necessarily going to address the root of the issue, y'know?
anyway, that's why i included the strike in my discussion about Content and producer/consumer mentality--because most of my examples were coming from the end of people treating their fics like products in like...a positive way? like, falling into the trap of consumer culture in a way that sort of embraces it. but the strike, to me, was an example on the opposite end of the spectrum, of trying to push back against the negative impact of that consumer culture without digging all the way down to the consumer culture itself. like...one end of the spectrum is sitting contentedly in the trap, and the other is struggling in the trap, but they are both still very much stuck within the trap. hopefully that makes sense!

I'm watching EXU and just
Does Gilmore exclusively hire the most horny people in Aabria's version of the setting?
Between Gilmore himself, the very CHA based party and this poor employee this episode has a degree of horny audacity and casual favors coming from just about every direction that's actually giving my boring ass some intense secondhand embarrassment at the thought of even asking for some of the things that are happening here.
My assumption would be that Gilmore would want to hire a bunch of hardasses to make up for the discounts he gives to people who will flirt with him (which. he does employ Sherri so that's one hardass.)?
I guess if he's important enough to get funding from the government for taking care of things like the ash-hole he can afford to be more lax with discounts. And haggling is more commonplace in Exandria's setting than ''X thing costs Y amount, it just does," that we have. But the degree to which these characters are successfully going above and beyond their budget does not slide in easily with the expectations inside of my brain.

Can we talk about how Terry Silver was able to immediately hire a whole gaggle of grown-ass black belts to act as karate-instructors-slash-goons, who would literally hang around Silver's house during their off hours and casually attempt murder on his behalf without question? WHAT kind of gold tier health insurance is he offering.
