#BUT THIS IS NOT THE SOCIETY WE LIVE IN.

[engagemythrusters]

"I do not dream of labour." okay. I do. I dream of having a house with a shed that I can use as a ceramics studio. I dream of studying linguistics and using my knowledge for things. Many people dream of tending gardens, of becoming doctors, of practicing law. People want to be hairstylists and actors. To not work at all is a curse, for a vast amount. Did we not learn from the pandemic? Sitting around with nothing and no-one is lonesome and draining. To do something is to enjoy something.

You don't refuse to dream of labour. You refuse to dream of the capitalism we live in.

to be perfectly honest. i don't care if it is cheesy or cliched or idealistic. i like stories where the core of it is about kindness, the warmth we can offer others and the gentleness we receive in return. maybe the moral of the story IS love triumphs. it better fucking be

“Free market capitalism is the ideal model for meeting consumers’ needs” fuckers losing their minds when you point out that 67% of American women are plus-size but only 12% of the women’s clothing industry carries their sizes.

Self-care is great, but the truth is, it only goes so far.

one more thing i definitely dislike about arcane is how...weirdly anti-science it is. maybe it attempted to be talking about the ethical decisions that are involved in scientific progress but instead...

tell me why a disabled man's pursuit to alleviate his suffering is treated as going against the very nature of the universe when his disability is hardly 'natural' (if such a thing exists) but rather caused by the machinations of the upper class of the society he lives. a society that has created many more disabled children and orphans just by how it functions. but ohhhhh magic science bad...don't mess with the order of nature...

themes I have identified in mxtx's work:

good intentions are useless without the ability to execute them. however, that doesn't mean they aren't important

when you set yourself on fire to keep others warm the people you're trying to help usually end up burning too

consider problem solving solutions other than trading genocides back and forth

hereditary nobility is a farce

the people in charge are just as liable to be selfish, overwhelmed, greedy, and incompetent as anybody else

clear and honest communication is very important in a relationship. or else.

better late than never.

my hot take about rainbow capitalism is yeah yeah it's annoying and it sucks that we live in a society etc etc but also. make a fucking note of the companies that pander this year, after all the anti-trans legislation we've been seeing and with proj 2025 brewing, and make a note of which ones don't bother.

and then spend your fucking money at the ones that did pander. exclusively. because until we no longer exist under capitalism, it's better for corps to want Gay Money than to think we aren't worth pandering to.
