#fuck class consciousness

[tkrr]

I’m absolutely done with the populist left.

They blame Ruth Bader Ginsburg for not retiring under Obama. They blame liberal “centrist” voters for not voting for Bernie, or Nina Turner, or whoever the fuck. They rail on about “corporate Democrats” and class struggle. Just enough of them — not many, but enough — vote third party in big enough numbers to completely ratfuck any progressive agenda they claim to support.

This Roe v Wade situation is something that class warfare can’t fix.

The Equal Rights Amendment situation remains unresolved. This needs to be the Democratic Party’s single biggest agenda item for 2022. (Second biggest? Restoring the Voting Rights Act.) And, sad to say as I’m an atheist and a strong supporter of separation of church and state, I think there are large swaths of this country where we need to appeal directly to Christian values, playing the WWJD card as necessary — talking about the Good Samaritan, Jesus and the adulterous woman, and other things that conservative churches tend to gloss over.

Please get out to vote. Even if your primaries have already passed, get registered for November. This is an all-hands-on-deck situation. Women’s, LGBT+, and voting rights are the priority. I don’t give a fuck about your complaints about “corporate Democrats”; we can deal with that shit later. Let’s get this done.

i think ppl criticizing saltburn for being a bad addition to this weird influx of self-aware class conscious movies we’ve seen in these last couple of years are so funny because that is literally not at all what this movie is going for.

its so easy to conflate aestheticism with classism, especially when saltburn plays with this kind of gauche idea of beauty, but the problem isn’t that the catton’s have an unnatural relationship with wealth and material, it’s that they have an unnatural relationship with beauty and a seemingly never ending supply of it. and of course these things go hand in hand. in a house where desire is unheard of, to be of want is a messy ordeal that’s shunned and repressed.

but this movie is never asking what you would do for material gain. it’s about obsession with a relationship and a person that is close enough to touch but still off limits. how do you tell somebody that has never wanted in their life that you want them? how badly do you want them? would you do something ugly for them? would you kill for them?

#saltburn #saltburn posting #no disrespect to the ppl posting about this #because genuinely approaching media thru a socioeconomic lens is always my preferred perspective #but after watching so many shit movies recently that are reaching for class-consciousness and missing the mark #ie the menu and glass onion etc etc #and going to saltburn being afraid that thats what this was going to be #i was so fucking happy when i walked out of that movie without having seen any weird on the nose shit about why rich people are bad #it is 2023 we all know why rich people are bad #its much more interesting to talk about why rich people are ugly #and what being ugly means

When I was having a massive mental health crisis in 2014ish and had less than 80 bucks in my bank account and needed to go back to my family

It was a millionaire who helped me

Because I was friends with someone who worked in California and they had enough disposable income to give me some and that is the only reason I got out and that I'm here today

A million dollars is frankly not as much as we dream it is. It tricks us because it sounds like a "billion" and so we instinctively think they're the same thing, but they really, truly are not.

When my ~*millionaire*~ friend helped me out, that wasn't insignificant. That wasn't a drop in a barrel to them.

But that same person explained it thus: a medical crisis will still leave a millionaire destitute. Especially for someone who lives in California or another high cost of living state, they have to work to live. Yeah, obviously they are more comfortable than people who aren't millionaires, but if our movement is to say "fuck everyone who is more comfortable than I am" then I don't want a part of it! Because I want to be comfortable someday and I want YOU to be comfortable someday, and you know what? When I have needed help in the past, it's those people who have reached back and helped me. Because a fucking lot of them also come from low class and low income, and they know wtf its like.

As someone who grew up in a trailer park and who lived under the poverty line for LITERALLY 80% of my life: I am fucking begging people to actually learn the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire.

Mainly: you can legitimately earn a million dollars. You cannot EARN billion dollars.

Enough stupid infighting already. The problem with our country is not someone who hires a maid to clean their house, it's the system that allows for a maid to be disgustingly underpaid. It's that we aren't taxing the shit out of the rich.

when i tell you i've been dying to write x readers w sol brugmansia? can't wait for day 3 n 4 to come out, when it does i know we eating good. till then i need to release my wips in hopes that i can work out all my hcs before we get more content.

on a separate note, brittany is such a sweetheart. would love to know wtf happened for her to leave the cheer squad. always up for a good underclass vs elite storyline, there's always so much potential when toying with social dynamics of hierarchy. i eat it up every time. i harbour some fondness for the girls in this game and i'll likely write some self-indulgent fics regarding them. they deserve sooo much love honestly

hyugo ain't do a damn thing wrong. he might be a problematic fav. i, frankly, do not care. you're allowed to be dubious and possibly a bit morally reprehensible but what i can't forgive is a lack of charisma and baby, he's bursting full of it.

anyways gg to fantasia, i must've clocked at least 5hrs in that game unlocking every stray piece of dialogue like a rabid dog hungry for scraps but believe you me, i'm redoing it all again to see what dialogue i get in conjunction to the new content (whenever they deem fit to release it).

I'm 100 pages into Moby Dick and they just got on the goddamn boat

This book actually kinda fucks hard it's great?

#Moby Dick #Was not expecting a comedy out of this book tbh #Nor was I expecting homoeroticism #And I was NOT expecting Herman Melville to actually be cool about representing non-Christian religion in a Christian dominated society?? #And there's only been one (1) woman in the book so far but she was such a cool character? #Plus there's a shocking amount of class consciousness in this?? #Herman Melville Woke King?????? #This book came out in 1851 and Ishmael's saying this Pacific Islander he met a couple of days ago is basically George Washington #He does keep calling him a cannibal and the guy does keep talking about doing cannibalism #So it might not hold up to modern standards for racial sensitivity in that regard #But like the man's saying that this guy wanted to give Christianity a try #Figured out that it wasn't for him so he went back to his pagan ways and literal idol worship #And Ishmael was like “Whoa based? God said to love your fellow man and this is man is as equal to me as anyone else” #Real shit here honestly #This was pre-Civil War this is amazingly ahead of its time in terms of racial justice #Also: “hell is an idea first born on an undigested apple-dumpling” is based as fuck I love this guy so much #The first chapter is a masterpiece #“This is my substitute for pistol and ball.

I've been "the smart friend" for so long that I never considered I could be more but recently I've been facing the fact that I think I might also be the "full of energy silly friend". not like a jokester but just endearingly earnest, energetic, and child-like in my joy that just has and exudes fun

#shitpost #quil's unholy underworld #in class on friday I had some extra energy I needed to get out before it started #and a new friend was across the room #and the desks were facing each other with nothing inbetween them #(the desks are SOOO fucked up in that class <3) #and so I started playing air patty cake #just because it seemed the most natural course of action #because I was happy and had energy and she was right there #and after a moment she laughed and started doing it back #and we went for a little bit #and it made the other people I'm friendly with laugh #and I just. that feels like silly really optimistic fun friend energy #(i don't have a better word to describe it) #which I've never really consciously associated with myself? #i've always been the smart one #so it was eye opening #but also I can't really. categorize /myself/ #so perhaps I'm getting it wrong

What do you think of Rhysand’s mother? I have a few questions about her after reading this post (https://flowerflamestars.tumblr.com/post/641487845398364160/are-we-ever-gonna-talk-about-how-rhysand-can) about Rhysand’s childhood.

1. Do you think Rhysand’s was as soft and gentle as Rhysand portrays her? I never got that vibe because when he describes her, he said that she gave her ring to the Weaver for safekeeping and brought Rhysand to the camps for training? I think it would take a very cunning and intelligent person to bring their child to the camps for more than one type of training (physically and not just magically). I truly do not think that she was as helpless as Rhysand portrays her to be. What do you think?

2. Why do you think she brought Rhysand to the camps? There are a few reasons mentioned within the books, they are: she wanted him to know his culture, use his physical strength and not his magical strength, and that she saw his father as cruel and wanted Rhysand to be separate from him. The issue I have with this is that it actually does not make any sense.

Rhysand’s mother was raised in a family oriented society, Azriel said as much when he was teaching Feyre how to fly. So for her to “break up” their family and go against the values she was raised with by sending Rhysand to the camps, I think she did it because she hated his father. I do not truly think it had anything to do with Rhysand having control over his physical strength and not just his magical prowess. She was removed from her people very abruptly, forced to live in a land that she probably knew nothing about, and did not see her family until she came back to the Illyrian camps. It literally said she was brought to Velaris and became his bride the same night. It was probably very jarring for her and I think that is why she struggled to like his father. And on top of that, his father was known to be mean. I do not think she brought Rhysand to the camps because she wanted him to be physically strong, I think she thought him because training male children is all she knows, (it’s what she grew up with in the camps) and she wanted to get away from Rhysand’s father that she saw as evil.

I do not hate her but I think the way she is described in the series by Rhysand is a bit contradictory. I don’t think there was a lot of foreword planning as to why she brought him to the camp, she just did not like his father and made Rhysand train because it is all she saw the women around her doing while she was growing up.

3. Why specifically do you think Rhysand hates the Illyrians? I firmly believe that he hates them because of their way of life. He seems to enjoy the nicer things in life, he doesn’t live in the camps and likes having nice expensive things. I loved how in your post you highlighted how his first couple years of life was in absolute privilege and pleasure. He had no worries and then suddenly he was dumped in a freezing cold place where people barely have any belonging except for the stuff they need to survive. It was probably very jarring and confusing for him and he never got over it.

I am so happy that I came across someone who speculates about Rhysand mother. A figure we hardly talk about or was mentioned in the books.

Hi, thank you!

Caveat, obviously, this is all my own personal speculation, and I think Rhysand's mother (and his sister, for that matter) aren't really characters in canon, so much as they are plot beats. They're there initially to explain the Tamlin/Rhysand hostility (which Rhys just forgave? I guess?) and then if we're really stretching things as a sort of combo guilt complex/justification for being over-protective of Feyre.

The soft and gentle vibe...very much rubs me the wrong way. We don't have a good handle on when, exactly Rhysand's mother died- after the first war with Hybern, since we know Rhysands father was High Lord during that conflict- but not so long after that Rhysand wasn't young. And that shows. His mother is kind, beautiful phantom.

He can tell Feyre her actions- arguably ruthless and iconoclastic (more on that later)- but he then completely flattens her character into one note: his mother. his beautiful, good, tragic mother.

Which is not to say ruthless woman aren't good mothers- it's that Rhysand carries so much guilt about her death that he cannot, even as an adult, even five hundred years later, see her as a whole, complete person.

I think she probably was a good mother- but not in ways Rhysand bothers to reflect on.

Which brings me to the Illyrian camps.

I've never seen it addressed, but I cannot imagine Rhysand's mother returning to that place- she has a house! she stays there and takes care of Rhys and his friends!- was not a personal sacrifice.

There are two Illyrian women, in total, in all of the books, who can fly. Who are not ritually maimed. Who have, besides the freedom of the sky, the apparent freedom to go wherever they want: Rhysand's mother, and Rhysand's sister.

Their whole existence spits in the face of tradition.

She stays in a hostile environment so her son knowns he isn't alone. And maybe this is where his dislike of Illyrians started- they probably fucking despised his mother.

(I can't speculate about family because...it doesn't seem like there is any? I also don’t think a woman who tried starving herself and drugging herself to avoid the rituals her people practiced around puberty really cared about falling in with tradition)

But I do really think he takes all the wrong lessons from it. (as expanded on in the original post) I don't even think it's about superior training- the Illyrian Legions are a threat, ultimately because their entire existence has been reduced down to war- but the other faeries we meet? The other High Lords, even? Are all incredibly violent. Rhysand was always going to learn to fight, not to mention the fact that he can, as is apparently a family skill, melt people with his brain.

But I digress- I think the whole point isn't threat, necessarily, it's that Rhysand's mother is preparing for his adulthood. She's showing him where she came from, with the knowledge he, and he alone, can change it some day.

Ditto for the ring! If her son was going to grow to break traditions, then whoever his partner was, they were going to be in danger too. It's a pretty straightforward test of strength. There's a future Rhysand's mom wants to happen, and she's shoring it up in fascinatingly ruthless ways.

Which means it's time to talk about Daddy Rhysand.

In VERY SIMILAR my parents are not people they're how I traumatically felt about them when they died when I had the maturity of a teen and have NEVER INTERROGATED ANY EMOTION EVER- Rhysand's father is hilariously one-note.

We know he separated Rhysand from his friends during the war- which I know we're supposed to see as mean and unfair but...kind of makes sense? So much as anything does in an obviously flawed, shitty system but like, they belonged to different parts of a military defense???

Anyway.

We know Rhysand dismissed his government- no clues on what that structure was- and replaced them with his friends.

And we know, that despite whatever flaws Rhysand prescribes, he could have loved Rhysand's mother very much.

I have to disagree with the whole hiding in the camps/hiding the ring thing for the very simple reason that Rhysand's father could have stopped her, at literally any time. He lets her take his heir to this incredibly dangerous place, which shows, at minimum, trust in her judgement.

He doesn't do anything, as far as we know, when she gives away her wedding ring for Plotting Antics.

Rhysand remembers them as Wild & Kind vs Rigid & Mean- but like, isn't that exactly how an angry teen who doesn't have the skills/perspective/emotional maturity would see it?

Not to lean hard on the grievously sexist world-building, but High Lords hold absolute power in their Courts.

Rhysand's mother was, in contrast, not just lacking in power because she was a young woman, but was also a member of tightly controlled, horrifically abused minority.

Saving her initially from the wing-clipping can probably be written off- ugh ugh ugh on 'protective instincts'- but after that? He takes her home. He doesn't hide her or seem remotely ashamed of her, from what we know. She was Lady of Night. She lived in palace he built her, specifically designed to be flown to, where no one could winnow, for her safety and comfort.

He didn't stop her from teaching their children things from a culture faeries of his class wildly despise. Moreover, it sounds like she just did whatever the hell she wanted, traveling around, making deals with the Weaver, ect.

None of that means their relationship couldn't have problems or difficulties, but what we're shown is ultimately more complex. It could have been love! She could have been terribly lonely! He could have tried and failed to bridge the gap! We just don't know, but he never caged her or even, it seems, contained her.

I can't, for example, imagine Rhysand allowing Feyre to run away to Illyria with their kid.

Which- okay, I can't talk about Rhysand's mother without talking about the dress thing.

The ring thing? Ruthless. Crazy. An interesting snap-shot into what Rhysand's mother was like.

THE DRESS THING??? God. Wearing an inherited piece of jewelry, like say, an heirloom wedding ring guarded by a primordial horror, can be cool.

Wearing clothes your mother-in-law made, who happened to be a very talented seamstress? Yeah, works of art.

WEARING CLOTHES YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW MADE YOU, THAT YOUR SPOUSE PICKS OUT FOR YOU, PRE-CHOSEN FOR EVERY IMPORTANT OCCASION WHILE YOU'RE WEARING HER RING, INHERITING HER TITLE AND LIVING IN HER HOUSE? Fucking weird

This is, of course, not the most egregious or creepy boundary crossing thing that happens, by far, but thinking about it AT ALL makes me feel like my brain is liquifying.

Rhysand's daddy issues are so loud they envelope everything- and, dare I say, define his entire adult character almost as badly as Feyre's do- but the behind the scenes mommy issues?

Feyre with ILLYRIAN WINGS! AS A SEX THING! Feyre's insanely inadvisable pregnancy!

Rhysand has rolled all his guilt into one unhealthy thing and it's Feyre, his mom sister pet Mate, he'll do anything to protect.

He's like one book from hauling out her old dresses from storage and having a family portrait made of himself (a better version of his father, A DREAMER), Mama Feyre, and perfect little treasure better future perfect accessory NightNight staged the same way as the royal portraiture that used to be in his father's office or something. WE ARE RIGHT ON AN ALARMING LINE

In sum: I think Rhysand's mother is fascinating, and we're never going to know more. I don't find Rhysand's hatred of Illyrians justifiable- it's cultural, but it's also systemic and he is, literally, the head of the broken system causing most, if not all, of that cascade. He could have been a great hope for them, as a nation.

I can go either way on Rhysand's parents having a good or bad relationship- there's no definitive answer, but I do think her agency is present enough to...wonder about how he speaks about it.

#no one @ me about the mommy issues #yall it is there it is not subtle I have been side eyeing it for YEARS #the whole here's a dress for you thing #IS a classic #but it gets weird after a while okay? #and god. #will someone every tell me why all these women need to wear Illyrian-style leather pants to EXERCISE IN? #they're for flying! for warmth! #for oggling apparently #I digress I secretly love Rhysand's mom who was probably much cooler than he is #Love the idea that he grew up consciously trying not to be his dad and ended up...worse than his dad #I hope Mama Rhysand and the Weaver were buds #I hope she went to the Hewn City wearing head to to toe diamonds and telling racists to fuck off #I hope her hot scary husband didn't even know how to keep up with her #and settled for like: being the the boring dad who had an important job and lavishly took care of everyone #Rhysand on his dad: HE WAS A BASTARD #actually rhysands dad: an upper class weirdo by-product of the system who didn't know how to hug #Rhysand on his mom: SO KIND SO SOFT SO- #rhysand's mom: go freeze half to death and get the shit beat out of you baby it's life lesson time

It makes me SICK when i see people talking about women who suffered a lot on history, and they mention Marie Antoinette. Like, "Oh poor Marie, she said sorry to the man who was going to execute her for stepping on his foot" or "poor her, her infamous phrase was not actually said by her." Like, are we forgetting that she was a queen? An oppressor of the working class?? She was an arch conservative, just like her husband. Her death was not due to misogyny. Stop pretending like she was one of the biggest victims in women's history. Stop pretending she was sweet. Feminism without class consciousness that pretends that rich women suffer the same way that working class women are USELESS.

one of the cashiers at the grocery store i go to is so fucking fixated on shoplifters and it drives me crazy any time i check out through him (i try to avoid him but his checkout is often the most open/empty - hm! i wonder why! - and im often on a tight schedule w the bus). he brings up shoplifters every opportunity he gets and he seems so convinced that theyre a huge problem.

BUT WHAT REALLY GETS ME ,,, is that today the customer in front of me was needing a price check on one of the items bc it should've come out to be cheaper, so he was kind of apologetic abt it and saying "ah well, yknow, six dollars is six dollars, especially with how expensive groceries are right now" and i was nodding and agreeing (trying to show that i dont mind the wait and also solidarity my guy good for u for speaking up and getting the price fixed on that) AND THE CASHIER AGREES. FULLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND BEMOANS THE FACT THAT GROCERIES ARE CRAZY RN. AND THEN GOES ON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SHOPLIFTERS. HUH ??????

so you agree that groceries are unreasonably expensive... and that sometimes ppl can't afford them... and yet ....................

#HE MAKES ME SO FUCKING ANGRY CMONNNN THINK ABOUT IT DUDE.... #i knew him in highschool (small town things lol) and im pretty sure he was one of those kids who thought cops were really cool. so. yknow. #not surprised. just annoyed fdjkl #i would say smth like ''oh does ur paycheque get docked if shoplifters come thru or smth?'' but i dont want to piss him off #i would like to remain civil with the cashiers here bc its the only grocery store i can get to most of the time fdsjkl #but like. i would love to find out why he hates shoplifters so much #when i worked at DQ in highschool and ppl stole dilly bars or FULL CAKES... i did not give a single shit #even though the managers and boss would get kind of angry at us (but they knew we couldnt do anything abt it really lmao) #and then we had to put locks on the customer-facing freezers which was a hassle for us #AND STILL. I NEVER FELT ANGRY AT THE SHOPLIFTERS. BECAUSE WHATEVER DUDE LIFE IS EXPENSIVE GO GET THAT ICE CREAM!!! #also i was not paid enough to care LMFAO and i know for a fact that this cashier isn't paid enough either bc my brother used to work there #I DUNNO DUDE. HONESTLY I HAVE MAD RESPECT FOR SHOPLIFTERS #i've potentially done it a few times and its fucking terrifying esp w the amount of cameras installed now fdsjkl #i dont do it now even though i need to more than ever bc i was making myself sick every time i possibly did it #i'd get home and sit in the bathroom for an hour trying to make sure i wasnt about to throw up from the stress fdsjkl #also it was stupid to do honestly (but . needed. so yknow.) bc again. i dont have any other options for accessible grocery stores really #ANYWAYS. fuck that cashier i hope he realizes what a little narc he's being and gains some class consciousness or smth idk #all for one and one for all etc etc etc we're all in this together my guy #pippen needs 2nd breakfast
