#Liquid Capital

[if-you-fan-a-fire]

“Nowadays, one no longer says 'You have a soul and you must save it,' but:        

'You've got a sexual nature, and you must find out how to use it well.

''You've got an unconscious, and you must learn how to liberate it.

''You've got a body, and you must know how to enjoy it.

''You've got a libido, and you must know how to spend it,' etc., etc. This compulsion toward liquidity, flow, and an accelerated circulation of what is psychic, sexual, or pertaining to the body is the exact replica of the force which rules market value: capital must circulate; gravity and any fixed point must disappear; the chain of investments and reinvestments must never stop; value must radiate endlessly and in every direction.  This is the form itself which the current realization of value takes.  It is the form of capital, and sexuality as a catchword and a model is the way it appears at the level of bodies. Besides, the body to which we constantly refer has no other reality than that of the sexual and productive model.  It is capital which gives birth in the same movement to the energetic of labor power and to the body we dream of today as the locus of desire and the unconscious.” 

- Jean Baudrillard, Forget Foucault, p. 39

Saw this in my local Rue 21

[your-lowlife-friend]

My ass if I was a queen

Chew. Harden. Lengthen. Satisfy.

The tagline for Hims literal Hard Mints Chewables in an online ad that auto-played as I scrolled through a wiki article literally nauseated me & makes me fucking sick:

Chew. Harden. Lengthen. Satisfy. With confidence.

Hims now makes and sells chewable hard mints for ED (erectile dysfunction) that come in “discreet” tins.

The ad for the Hims Hard Mints is absolutely sickening & dehumanizing.

I just saw an in-website ad for the Hims Hard Mints that auto played as I was scrolling.

I was actually rereading the script for the demiurge episode from Aeon Flux.

The dystopian society that Aeon Flux presented that I watched for the first time on MTV in 8th grade in 1995 has now become a distressing Orwellian reality.

Aeon Flux was deeply dark, mindfucky & deconstructive and included heavily sexual subplots where the main character, Aeon, clad in a skin-tight leather BDSM get up with an impossibly tiny & concave waist & ginormous boobs actually has sex with someone through a hole in her back.

Pretty dehumanizing & reductive portrayal of sex, right?

Just like the Hims Hard Mint ad.

So, the active ingredient in Cialis & Levitra has now been put into a hard mint chewable in a “discreet” tin.

Just like everything else, absolutely no thoughts to what might be behind the ED — anxiety, stress, mind body disconnect, unprocessed emotions and/or trauma, listlessness, lethargy, numbness, emptiness inside, loneliness, aimlessness, mindlessness, constant distraction, being overworked by design in our capitalist corporatist economic system, toxins chemicals & additives in foods & beverages, depressive feelings, malaise, existentialist despair, feelings of self-doubt, abandonment, isolation, inadequacy, constant comparisons, constant competition, keeping up with the joneses, overemphasis on the mechanics of sex, reductionism where sex is reduced solely to harden fuck ejaculate, lack of esotericism, total disconnect of mind body soul heart constantly caused by capitalism which is endlessly rewarded by disordered inhabitants that are slaves to the corporatist machine, lack of philosophical inquiries, never having a thought, watching pornhub on cell phone since 10 creating toxic harmful unrealistic expectations for sex. . .

Treating men like dehumanized sex robots and machines.

Chew. Harden. Lengthen. Perform. Satisfy. With Confidence.

Disgustingly sickeningly exploitative & reductive.

Reducing sex to nothing but moving body parts.

Why chewable? Why mint flavored?

Why in a tin?

Because then it seems like its not prescription medication - which it is, it has the same active ingredient as Cialis & Levitra - its just, pop an Altoid then go fuck her.

Just as mindless as everything else in our current 3 second attention span society.

Why not try to get to the root of what is causing the ED as 90%+ of physical & mental DIS-eases is literally your body mind being at dis ease and is caused by a mind body imbalance of some sort.

Why not look within instead of looking in a tin?

Why is the answer presented as a chewable Altoid?

Fun. Easy. Minty. Fresh. Discreet.

Why not reflection?

Why not meditation?

Why not examining ones own thought, minds, feelings & emotions?

Why not journalling?

Why not experimenting sexually and seeing if the ED is being caused by lack of interest in current sexual activities?

Why not explore your sexuality and sexual identity and see if boredom or malaise or lack of physical/sexual attraction may be at the root of the ED?

Why must everything be unthinking?

Simple?

Automatic?

Just pop a minty chewable chew.

In a discreet tin. Nobody has to know.

The entire ad focuses on the man satisfying the woman by chewing, hardening, lengthening, satisfying, performing with confidence.

Imagine that that is an ad actually describing a thinking feeling human being.

Its fucking terrifying.

Its nauseatingly reductive.

Its dehumanizing as fuck.

Its reducing men to literally nothing more than their anatomical reproductive organs and functions.

What of too much of a good thing applying to sex?

What of determining preferred frequency of sex?

What of getting to know yourself sexually?

What of societal sexual scripts that demand certain things from men & women?

What of not fitting the societally ascribed sexual scripts for the gender you were assigned at birth?

What of the intersection between your extremely individual & personal gender as everyones gender identity & expression is different & how that intertwines with societal dictates for how men & women are supposed to interact sexually?

What of sexual dogma that demands that the outcome of sex be an orgasm for all genders?

What of non-penetrative sex like oral, manual & intercrural?

What of sex being treated like a hypercapitalist machinistic end game?

What of love & loneliness?

No?

Just, Shut up. Chew. Harden. Lengthen. Perform. Satisfy. With confidence.

These discourses about billionaires are exhausting. “ there’s no ethical billionaires” or “ there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” is and should remain criticism of the system. And it’s not really a black & white thing.

You can still do your best to be ethical within the current systems.

I’m anti-capitalist but that’s the system we live under. I’m always gonna support those who pay their employees fairly when that’s an option

What if they didn't put ads every 3 posts. Three posts between ads, literally. Not even counting the ad for Tumblr Live.

Also what if tumblr didn't know what city Im in. I do not want my location tracked or stored anywhere unless I give explicit ongoing permission, like with my GPS app that I allow to track me only when the app is open, and then it deletes the data (allegedly) when I stop giving permission.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety has reinstated a shelter-in-place order for a one-mile perimeter around a crash involving a commercial tractor truck hauling liquid nitric acid which resulted in a hazardous spill along Interstate 10 in Tucson.

The crash led to evacuation orders which were lifted Tuesday night, but reinstated Wednesday morning, authorities said.

“While crews were attempting to remove the load from the commercial vehicle, gassing occurred,” DPS said in a news release.

Interstate 10 remains closed in both directions between Kolb and Rita roads in Tucson, according to DPS.

“Unified Command advises anyone within the one-mile perimeter to turn off heaters and/or air conditioning systems that bring in outside air,” the news release said. “The public should avoid the area and motorists should seek an alternate route.”

DPS did not indicate when the shelter-in-place would be lifted.

The driver of the truck died in the crash, the department said, without identifying the person publicly.

Nitric acid is a colorless liquid, has yellow or red fumes and acrid odor, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Exposure to it can cause irritation to the eyes, skin and mucous membranes.

From Exploitation to Sustainability: Bauman's Vision for a Post-Colonial, Eco-Socialist Future

Zygmunt Bauman, a prominent sociologist and philosopher, is well-known for his analysis of modernity and postmodernity, with a focus on the fluid and interdependent nature of contemporary societies. Applying Bauman’s ideas, we can explore the interconnectivity and unsustainability of colonialism, nationalism, imperialism, and capitalism. These systems are intertwined and mutually reinforcing,…

Westpac's capital was above average but its asset quality among the worst; management was not seen as a problem but earnings were above average while liquidity was well under control.
