the boys over at trillbilly worker's party being exvangelical marxists is truly one of the only things keeping me going these days

there truly is smth about someone outright saying 'i don't even believe in this shit anymore but I'm offended on behalf of the decades of indoctrination I suffered that these depraved levels of blasphemy are being upheld as sacred by the self-same ppl who forced that indoctrination onto me' that just hits yanno?

Down with old STEM (science, technology, engineering and math).

Up with new STEMM (stealing, terrorism, embezzlement, money laundering, and murder).

do you have tips for distracting yourself from thoughts you don't want to have?

As we all know intellectual repression does not work, so I try thinking of a problem that I actually do want to solve rather than worrying about a hypothetical problem that doesn't exist yet or one that cannot be solved.

Like so: "okay, let's stop worrying about this writing project that I am not able to work on right now because I'm not even near a fucking computer, and instead let's worry about making a shopping list and a meal plan for this whole week of groceries."

Or: "Okay, I'm not gonna be able to fix the guilt over my role my dad's death at the moment, so let's think about when I am going to hang out with XYZ person I've been meaning to see for a while, and what I could invite that person to go do."

I also try throwing my brain a challenging problem or intellectual exercise related to a topic that I am interested in, or reading about. Like so:

"Okay, I'm worrying a lot about the future of my job, but that isn't helpful right now, because I don't even know who my new boss is gonna be yet and I won't for another year. But here's something I do want to think deeply about: I am reading this very interesting book by Freddy deBoer right now about how the left fails to build large enough coalitions to achieve real political power, and he makes some fair points, but doesn't that concern of his seem to contradict his earlier point about how the neurodiversity movement is too large of a movement and too big of a tent, with not enough focus on those with really high support needs who hate their mental illness? I wonder what Freddy would say to that question?"

And then I'll spend a good long while pondering that question.

Another way that I cope with intrusive negative thoughts is to ask myself if a line of obsessive thinking or worry is going to bring me closer to the kind of person I want to be. And if it won't, what is something that I could be thinking about that might help me better embody that person.

So if I'm reenacting a fight with my mom over and over again in my head, I might notice this, and tell myself: hey. This thing we are thinking about is only making us a more angry and resentful person, which we don't need any more practice on. We are already good at being angry and resentful. Where do we actually need to grow? Oh! I remember, I wanted to start doing more volunteer work. I'll spend the duration of this bus ride looking up some local mutual aid groups and putting their events in my calendar. And so on.

I really think of using my brain as a form of exercise, if you'll excuse me for sounding a bit sigma male -- everything we think about, we get better at thinking about. Every thought process we engage in with our brains, we make more reflexive and natural-seeming for us. So if I want to be a more compassionate person, I can just sit and think about people in a compassionate light to slowly expand that skill. I'm bored of my own misanthropy, anxious worrying, fault-finding, and work-related stress at this point. Rather than telling myself to stop thinking about those things, I try offering my brain something else to exercise with.

Another thing I'll do is just turn on a podcast that will keep my mind engaged. True Anon, Trillbilly Worker's Party, Anime Sickos are all favorites. Sometimes that's enough to quiet down the noise, especially if paired with a vigorous activity like cleaning or a long walk.

Woke up to an amazing treat in my Twitter feed this morning: Garfield the cartoon cat, wearing a miner’s helmet and hugging a piece of coal, painted in a window of an abandoned schoolhouse in Lynch, Kentucky. 

According to Tarence Ray, who photographed this piece: “Mondays are the worst when you’ve gotta go to work in 30 inch coal” Be sure to check out Tarence’s (and his comrades Tanya and Tom) black diamond of a podcast, Trillbilly Worker’s Party, AKA straight lefty fire out of Whitesburg, Kentucky!

Trillbilly Worker's Party came for Dolly two weeks ago and let's just say some points were made 😅

It's about that property she bought in Nashville, bullshit "opportunity zones", gentrification, and massive subsidies for real estate speculators.

This means that [Dolly Parton] should definitely not be celebrated for this "investment in the black community" as it appears to be a way to defer the tax on pandemic-era investment gains, and likely to ensure that she pays no taxes on the appreciation of the Nashville property.

(right at the beginning, starting at 1:45 through about 7:00)

I'm not here to cancel Dolly Parton or whatever—people are welcome to like whomever they like—but I think it's an interesting leftist critique, particularly on how the wealthy can use PR machines to gives themselves good news cycles based on things like philanthropy and "investing in economic opportunity zones". Even the "good ones".

I'm sitting here in the California listening to a couple guys from the Kentucky talk about the Russia and the Ukraine.

Ok sorry I feel like I've sent this ask to u 3 other time but I can't remember if I actually did it or just dreamt it -_- what are ur favorite historical/political podcasts?

Yay I love these kinds of asks :)

I'll list the title and brief description of my favorites:

- Trillbilly's Worker Party: Politics and Culture from two to three Eastern Kentucky Leftists 10/10

- Citations Needed: Media Criticism (particularly Usamerican Media) with interviews and deep dives into misconceptions and media tropes 8/10

- True Anon: Two beautiful hosts discuss hot topics like Jeffery Epstein/Ghislaine, Elon Musk, Philippino activism, Modern Cults, niche local politics drama, the opioid epidemic, and other stuff with frequent guests and interviews! 15/10

- Blowback: History Pod masterfully produced, S01 Iraq War, S02 Cuban Revolution, S03 Korean War ( I haven't listened to season 3 yet but first two blew my mind) 10/10

- Belabored: as stated it's a Labor podcast! Sarah and Michelle host with twice monthly episodes including labor headlines, interviews with organizers and labor leaders, and article deep dives on labor issues ( it is a dissent magazine podcast so check out their site if it interests you!) 8/10

- Know Your Enemy: Sam and Matt , one life long leftist and one hard conservative lefty convert discuss the history of the modern conservative movement and all of it's icky tentacles. Hosts are lovable but it can also be a bit boring at times when they get into the philosophy of it all 7/10

Honorable Mentions:

- Ear Hustle: podcast based on interviews with current and former inmates at San Quentin state prison in California. Very humanizing of prisoners and its fascinating insights 6/10

-Eat The Rich pod: a podcast where a panel of a few twitter guy lefties discuss the "millionaires, billionaires, and multinational corporations hellbent on staving off the death rattle of capitalism" they are no longer producing new episodes but they have a big catalog of deep dives into some fucked up people and companies 10/10
