will i get jumped for this? no bc only 5 mutuals read this blog. but.
how to say it. i am absolutely dog-tired of leftism. American leftism.
but all leftism really. at least, the culture of it.
and this may display my ignorance, but playing Disco Elysium has really opened up this bag of worms so lets eat em (?)
I'm tired of organizing and helping and all the necessary posturing and do-gooder shit and the slogans and marching and chanting. i'm tired of all the books on my shelf and all the pages in my instagram being dour, fervent, politricking, theorizing, agitprop. a good Mao essay or some liberation theory can indeed transform the mind and refresh the soul but dear GOD the culture is as stifling as church. repetetive and soulless as the color-branded two party system. I want to choke whatever this tendency is, out of the collective body. i want to watch this soul-sucking self-righteousness twitch on the ground like a worm.
where is a sensous life, an embodied life, a loving life, in this mess?
i understand the need of seriousness in revolution but that is an EFFECT not a PRE-REQUISITE of the conditions of armed resistance!!!! what is becoming clear, is the cosplaying, larping, performative aesthetics and ethos of this movement reveal we are NOT serious, despite pretending to be. the conformity, inner policing, quibbling is ALL PART OF COINTELPRO STYLE INFILTRATION AND TACTICS.
at this point I don't consider myself a "leftist." or feel much like attaching a fucking identity marker to my principles. when they come for the communists, i will be a communist. when the anarchists are in the streets, i am an anarchist. but I can't won't don't and refuse to adopt these images as lifestyles and kitsch. I hate the entire aroma of the edifice. fuck it. destroy conformity. I am an artist. you are an artist. all of us, are human beings with families and stories and needs and desires. if that isn't showing up in the movement, fuck the movement.
its my heart to yours, our hearts as one, skin, bone, flesh, cedar trees dancing in the night whispering secrets, or fucking kill it. non-profit infographics may breadcrumb out good information but chronic posting syndrome is suffocating my soul and the low-key judgy energy in the 'scene' around all these moralized expectations for how you show up, can fucking eat my ass.
i didn't survive catholicism to bow my head and submit to fucking oatmeal-flavored nonprofit behavior modification industrial complex. i am a nasty, beautiful, complex queer edifice, organism, and fucked up person like ALL OF US ARE. so please god let's not waste more time on this posturing.
do the action. practice the principle. keep quiet about it. is gonna be my guidestar going forward.
i'd rather join an honest to god gang cuz at least you aren't being guilted about enjoying shit by a bunch of stressed out middle aged organizers
WHERE IS JOHN WATERS JOHN WATERS SAVE US

For those who were wondering, Phil confirmed in his early birb stream this morning that Chayanne is NOT intended to be a glass child.
He is, according to Phil, a character who is very strong, with big protective energy but who does occasionally need a helping hand (paraphrasing).
Most importantly:
Chayanne’s admin is NOT playing the character as a glass child.
Once again, Phil/Chayanne’s admin did not intend for the character to be interpreted this way, but there is evidence that supports the theory and it is a perfectly valid interpretation. But it was NOT the intention.

Today in discovering I'm a flaming ignoramus: TIL Asterisk and his people (the comic characters) were not Vikings and those are not Viking helmets. Which I should have clocked earlier because he's Asterisk the Gaul. I had the image of them being Vikings so firmly in my head since I was a child that the adolescent knowledge of where tf Gaul is simply did not connect until today. And then I had an actual crisis like, wait are the French descended from Vikings?? and had to google.
If I had actually read the books or watched the cartoons I would have seen them fighting Vikings but I was a Tintin girl and Asterisk was too visually chaotic after Herge's clean lines and clear details. My sister is laughing at me because she says the cartoon said they were the last remaining Celtic village even in the Sinhalese dub.
Sedimented knowledge is an amazing thing. Whatever you believe in your earliest years just sinks to the very bed of your brain and lies there, undisturbed by intellect or new knowledge, right up until you happen to think it out loud and have an immediate record scratch moment. This is why I deeply believed until my 20s that pineapples grew underground (and I have seen pineapple groves over their fences!) and that pythons could spontaneously regenerate if cleaved in two unless you throw the two halves in opposite directions (this is such a deeply held folk belief that my former father in law actually argued about it with me).

rn i honestly do post looking for engagement/attention often & its that "sorry for posting so much i have no intimacy in my life" thing
idk generally speaking, trying to say things to get people to talk to you leads to people not talking to you
i think i need to lean more into using social media in a focused/curated way or at least not as a substitute for meeting basic human needs anymore bc that's technically an addiction

Hi, so you know about the rumor that Josh cheated on his ex and that was very bad. But another rumor is not only did he do that, he also bought her a bunch of fake designer purses and fashion-minded fans could all tell 😱. But I don't think Josh would do that maliciously. I think Josh asked Stef about bags she might like because he knows Stef is into Fashion™️ but Stef being the petty bitch he is knowingly recommended fakes because of jealousy and evilness etc. I needed to tell someone this.
josh: WDYM it's FAKE??? it CANT be i- WDYM?????? STEF WENT SHOPPING WITH ME FOR IT AND EVERYTHING!!!! WE WENT TO ALL THE FAMOUS GUCCI SELLING SITES!!! We went to mcdonaldsss, burger kinggg, subway, the dark crime alley where batmans parents died (i had to hold him really tight because we were scared :( ...) (hold him really tight against a wall) (he sucked my di-)WE EVEN WENT TO T H E DUMPSTER!!!!!!! and DOVE Iwell *I* dove in. Stef stood back rubbing his hands together maliciously whilst laughing maniacally. but this isn't about him. BUT SPEAKING OF HIM... stef is standing in the corner maliciously rubbing his hands together while we fight. hope you don't mind :). surely his presence here holds no significance to this argument ! stef!! back me up little buddy :( !! we didn't know the Gucci bag that was actually just a Styrofoam cup i took a bite out of and you spit in before you wrote STANK ASS CUCCI on it was FAKE!! tell her WE DIDNT KNOW :(!!!
stef, standing in a Jojo villain pose:
I Had No Idea .
