#Marx and shit

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

I deleted duolingo early last year because the AI lessons were bullshit quality and I was no longer learning anything. I should look for a new app to help me practice Spanish again because my literacy has started to degrade

My brain, in the span of 5 seconds:

Spanish is a Romance language

Romance languages are Indo-European

That language family broke apart from Proto-Indo-European thousands of years ago

That's kinda like the Bible story, the Tower of Babel

Babel was in Mesopotamia

Mesopotamia means "between the rivers"

Potomac River in DC means "river river"

Hippopotamus means "river horse"

Hippocampus means "sea horse"

The part of the brain that controls memory is called the hippocampus because it kinda looks like a sea horse if you've never seen one before and squint

The brain has a bunch of lobes

My dad had a stroke in his occipital lobe in 2021

The occipital lobe is at the back of the brain and controls sight even though your eyeballs are at the front of the brain

Your eyes are attached to the brain by the optic nerve

In cartoons your eyes can pop out of your head using the optic nerve as stalks when you're scared or excited AWOOOGA

They make novelty glasses with eyeballs on springs

Those kinda remind me of Groucho Marx glasses

So anyway, that's how I got here when I wanted to find a new language app

My train of thought has no rails, it goes wherever it wants.

🎭 Kirbtober 2024 Day 30: Soul 🎭

(ID: Kirby series fanart of Marx Soul, his face tilted and twisted into a big open grin with his tongue curling out as he brandishes his wing claws at the viewer, his curling red wings catching the light in sparkles, the hexagonal plates glowing chromatically. A crack peeks out from under his hat in the middle of his forehead, glowing the same neon blue as the inside of his mouth and the drool that drips from his tongue. END ID.)

“You’re gonna love my next act! It’s a real side-splitter!”

Harpo Marx posing nude on the set of Horse Feathers (1932)

i'm sorry the idea of MODERN! NO QUIRK!AU shigaraki who's friends with reader and they're both anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, egalitarian fiends...(lowkey canon for shiggy. can't tell me otherwise) but shigaraki is an anarchist (also def canon) while reader is chilling with a transitional state and they BEEF over this shit 💀💀 like reader and shigaraki get along so well, but bring up what to do after the "revolution" they both want and they're fighting for the next two hours, drawing up sources, calling each other names, quoting mfs 😭

im sorry this is so niche ☠️

I was always enraged at the way capitalism has devalued some of the most important labour in human history, but now I'm even more angry since I have started getting more into crafts.

So many people are alienated from the world to such an extent they don't realize how fucking important textiles and construction and art and culinary labour is, because its all ubiquitous under capitalism: it is all profit, and if it isn't profit, then it is worthless. People don't realize just how revolutionary all of the labour was, how important it is, and was, to our survival. And that enrages me.

Hey hey hey!

redraw dump yaya

[communistkenobi]

reading off-hand criticisms of marx in graduate textbooks is so funny because it’s never like, a substantial criticism of the things he said or the positions he took, it’s more often than not “marx did not consider that his political analysis bruises my delicate little intellectual sensibilities”

[dagrapesody]

This drawing is funny to me because I think it looks good but I actually wanted this to be a shitpost, because it‘s basically a screenshot redraw from clone high😭

The very depressing spider prince!

(this is a very VERY big project that I was working on for the past few weeks! My idea is that every day I reveal 2 or 3 characters from the canvas :3 sorry for skipping a few days! I was busy with finishing up some school stuff and family outings happened as well, but that doesn’t stop me from posting the depressed spider prince, Taranza! See if you can guess who the others are >:3)
