Happy international asexuality day! I'm proud to be asexual!!!
Too many of you believe that the evils of capitalism begin and end with whether or not workers get paid enough. But capitalism is inherently wasteful by design. It is resource intensive and exploitative by design. Even if we killed every billionaire and redistributed all their wealth tomorrow (a good thing) we would still have to restructure how we manage society from the ground up, globally.
And no, you as an individual are not responsible for figuring out all of the answers, sad white person. There are people all over the world already working on the solutions their communities need. We just have to empower them to make those solutions happen.
do you guys ever feel like an outcast even in a group full of outcasts. like i'm autistic and even in groups full of neurodivergent people i'm still excluded sometimes. i don't understand why
I keep coming back to this video essay
The simulacrum of feminine performance | explored through The Substance
Especially the concept of a simulacrum. This idea of hyper-reality.
Of course of how it pertains to gender but also how it seeps our way into so much of our culture. We're so separated from our inherent existence and instead who we are is filtered through several layers of society
I haven't spent enough time considering this in the depth I would like to write a full analysis of these concepts and how they apply to me and others but I've got so many seeds of thoughts around this topic.
I think eventually I might write a personal essay on how the simulacrum of womanhood affects me as a nonbinary person, especially one who's autistic and struggles with a social identity. I think there's so much to explore on this topic
I feel like my entire existence is defined by the things I am not instead of the things I am
There is no one thing that I am, simply things I am not
Alright I've done the math. I either need to get 100% on my final for a class so I don't fail it or I go back and try to turn in the very first project I missed (that makes me want to rip my hair out) and that my professor might not even grade because it is 3-4 months overdue
I like bugs and the incomprehensible nature of the universe: Genderqueer adult: studying environmental science (Xe/Xer/Xeirs /any)
