truly the absolute worst thing about the generative ai boom is the mass vandalism of search engines it has enabled (note, not caused--the 'cause' is the economic structures of the internet that incentivise mass producing SEO slop and have for years--but certainly these technologies have accelerated them hopelessly)

i think if idw thundercracker transitioned, starscream would also transition out of spite. like she would be all 'i am not being upstaged by my quiet ex-colleague' and commit entirely with a whole-ass press release and everything. windblade is in the background politely clapping like 'well, whatever makes you admit it, good job'. thundercracker is also delighted, infuriating starscream, who has somehow convinced herself this is a rivalry. skywarp's gender is 'weapon of mass destruction' and skywarp Does Not Care what they are doing tbh

Just finished reading maowives' Gender Ternary article for the fifth time (it's very good, read it here immediately). One thing not mentioned that the framework also provides explanation for:

Since subaltern status is necessarily mutable and provisional, it gives a false (or drastically exaggerated) hope of escape via climbing to a higher gender class. This manifests much in the same way a proletarian with dreams of becoming bourgeois might work against their own self-interest in pursuit of those dreams. Elements of the subaltern class begin to police themselves and the rest of their class into appearing as "respectable" as possible to the higher gender-powers, generating a microcosm of the whole gender-power structure inside the subaltern class.

This, I think, helps to explain a very significant amount of intra-community tension with respect to subalternized groups. For example, the process of putting on an appearance for a higher power begets the liberal identity politics of who is allowed to use which label and reclaim what slurs. The microcosmic gender-power structure can also be pointed to as a significant source of transmisogyny, as subaltern-power subjugates subaltern-not-power and subaltern-subaltern.

I also think there is merit in further examining the gender-power microcosm as a way to explore the placement of people who have been faggotized for reasons not necessarily connected to gender or sexual identity (e.g. furries, people with autism or other mental disabilities, etc.).

As an ending note: I, like the original article, put forth this work not as an establishment of truth but as an exploration into a developing field of materialist feminism. I am also pretty new to writing my own analysis of political theory. I would gladly accept any syntheses, refutations, or other transformations of the above on the path to a clearer theory.

On the seventh of October I am teacher Mahmoud Atta. I work as a teacher teaching secondary school students.

On October 7th, I was getting ready to go to school. On October 7th, while I was getting ready to go to school, my life was completely turned upside down. Israel declared war on Gaza. After that, they announced their entry into the roads and cities and forced us to leave the city from Khan Yunis to Rafah

.

We passed through a road called the Road of Death. Tanks were everywhere. Bullets were raining down. We passed through a road called the Road of Death. Tanks were everywhere. Bullets were raining down. If you survived, your brother would not.

We've all seen the end of the world movies on the big screen. We have all seen end of the world movies on cinema screens, but what we saw was real and not imaginary. I wish it was imaginary.

We finally arrived in Rafah Finally we arrived in Rafah, the safe city as it is called, but where to go? The sea is behind us, the weather is freezing, and the borders are closed with Egypt on the other side and Israel on the third and fourth sides. I found myself making a tent out of nylon for myself and my family.

No water, no electricity, no food, no place to go to the bathroom, no life. I wish I had died sooner.

We returned after a long time to our city.After a long time, we returned to our city. The first sight was that a giant monster had entered the city and left it in ruins, so much so that I did not recognize my house or my neighborhood. Oh my God, is this Khan Yunis?

fI searched to find my home, to find my apartment, which contained my memories and my most beautiful days, destroyed. I searched to find my home, to find my apartment, which contained my memories and my most beautiful days, destroyed.

trans girl: i wish the world wasnt so cruel to me just for being my authentic self

genderfuck millenial with "fuck terfs" in bio: see THIS is why we need to be kinder to men & males. people are treating this person so bad for what? bc they're male? bc they seem masculine? trans men also face this too, and cis men tbh. the world is just so fucking cruel to masculine people. trans men's liberation now.

they/he ex terf mutual who still rbs from the "nice ones": the oppression people face when they present as afab is so real. afabs know what its like to be hurt like this. female socialisation makes the world so violent for us. like it cannot be overstated the kind of violence we face just for the way that we are born.

trans girl: you guys dont make me feel all that safe or understood actually

transandrobro who is actively participating in the harrassment campaign of 5 other women: i just fantasised about killing you

Have you lost a family member and felt the pain of regret and loss?! 😭

I hope you don't; for me this is our reality. Every day we lose someone we love 💔😔

Last year I lost my uncle and his entire family in a missile attack on his displacement site in Rafah, and Al Jazeera YouTube reported.

Today, I am in pain as I miss the dearest to my heart, my father, who suffered from a stroke that caused him quadriplegia. He could not cope with the catastrophic life as we lived in a tent that was like a grave. His weak body was exposed to malnutrition as a result of not providing the necessary food for his condition, and the severe cold caused him to have a heart attack that led to his immediate death.

I wake up terrified every night. I check on my family, whom I fear will die of cold 🥶😰

And it was not limited to this, but our tent that shelters my family, children, and my brother Samer, who suffers from a chronic illness, was flooded and swept away under the dirt as a result of the heavy rains. Our tent has become worn out and does not protect us from the winds and rain ⛈️⛺

Please save What's left of us, share with us, and if you can, a donation can save an entire family from death ❣️🙏

Any (serious) argument against space exploration on this website is just a thinly veiled anticiv argument. "Space exploration is bad because mining and oil pipelines and destruction of sacred indigenous land" yeah that's Every Industry under the current capitalist system in the west. That's not exclusive to space exploration.

would it be rude to ask what books you would recommend to a fledgeling marxist (<- nicer way of saying "illiterate moron" asnfjkdf) i finished the communist manifesto and have what is to be done, wretched of the earth, and orientalism next on my reading list, but im kinda lost after that and idk. i like your posts and would love to hear what writings you find inspiring or have shaped your politics the most

If you want to know what I have read and plan to read, I use this neocities to keep track of it. It's nothing special, but it's very useful to me.

Actually good reading lists are found here and here by txttletale and here by apas-95
