“Sometimes we may spend a whole lifetime digging a tiny hole, so that light may pass to the coming generations, even if just for once!”

Born, raised, and left to die under israeli siege. Breaking through the fence - stepping outside of Gaza for what might be the first and only time in their lives - to storm the enemy is beyond heroic.

The cost of zionism and its depravity is too much to grieve.

death to "israel". Power to the Resistance.

The kinds footage that has come out of Gaza practically every day for the past 277 days is terrifying, and I think it has been critical for motivating people to protest the war. It fucks me up to think about all the suffering elsewhere that is not made visible, and therefore kept invisible.

It also makes me think about how new technologies, specifically HD cameras in phones, can change how people interact with or perceive "war" and violent conflicts. Thinking about how 20, 10, or even 5 years ago, most of that kind of stuff was low res, super compressed, and hidden on dark places online. Now, I open instagram and see death and gore in 4k almost every day... Like, what does that do to a developing person's brain? Will this radicalize people against war, or will it desensitize them to suffering?

In 2024 Pickleball is all the rage

for me it was a year or two ago after i read Capitalist Realism and got really into that. Then i realized Mark Fisher was one of only a few people (and also the first, iirc) to interview Burial, my favourite musician of all time. I also learned that Fisher was an important (important-ish?) person in a lot of the underground electronic music from the UK in the 2000's, being close with Kode9, Caretaker, etc.

i think i read the Mark Fisher x Burial interview like +10 years ago when I was first introduced to Burial's music and had to learn everything about him and his music, but by then, i had never heard of Mark Fisher, lol.

dems trying to outflank republicans from the right but still getting outflanked by the repubs who still weren't satisfied

But I want to examine it as an artifact of liberal guilt. Specifically, guilt for supplanting feudalism and then immediately overseeing the horrors of the industrial revolution both inside the core and without.

Word. I like that a lot. That's an interesting way to add to the "emperors & monarchs -> lord's & slave-owners -> capitalist class" pipeline that people like Dr. Wolff use, for example

Yup. Beyond the visible crimes of genocide we are witnessing, iSSrael is disabling hundreds of thousands of people (and inevitably millions through intergenerational trauma) both physically and psychologically

Oh yeah we’re so fucked

yeah me too... I can't remember what it was, but i was getting the yuck from him way before i was into politics and knew more about stuff. That the is so fuzzy, it feels like it was 10 years ago

PRIDE WIN: israel reveals new gender neutral bathroom

reporting from , one of the teachings i remember from high school social studies was: "Cuba was communist and they're poor but they read good and have lots of doctors so kudos to them i guess?"
