yea we know

david graeber and david wengrow, the dawn of everything, pg 81

Yet originally this was an explicitly right-wing position, as explained by Ter Ellingson, the contemporary anthropologist who has reviewed the subject most comprehensively. Ellingson concluded there never was a 'noble savage' myth; at least not in the sense of a stereotype of simple societies living in an age of happy primordial innocence. Rather, travellers' accounts tend to supply a much more ambivalent picture, describing alien societies as a complicated, sometimes (to them) incoherent, mix of virtues and vices. What needs to be investigated, instead, might better be called the 'myth of the myth of the noble savage': why is it that certain Europeans began attributing such a naive position to others? The answer isn't pretty. The phrase 'noble savage' was in fact popularized a century or so after Rousseau, as a term of ridicule and abuse. It was deployed by a clique of outright racists, who in 1859 - as the British Empire reached its height of power - took over the British Ethnological Society and called for the extermination of inferior peoples.

just shamelessly farming engagement actually

i thought this said clairo like the artist and was gonna say “harsh but fair”

tell me about it sister !

i have a few anecdotes i always think about from the male anorexia book i read… developing an eating disorder as a response to being gay will never not be funny to me

understanding anorexia nervosa in males, pg 100, tom wooldridge

Similarly, researchers have suggested that some males with anorexia nervosa experience pre-morbid homosexual panic (Crisp, 1967; Dally & Gomez, 1979). As their sexuality begins to take shape, males may be frightened by attraction to other males, and the elimination of sexual desire achieved through severe weight loss may protect them from confronting this fact. However, this hypothesis is not applicable to all males with anorexia nervosa; indeed, in my clinical experience some young men attempt extreme weight loss in an attempt to become more sexually attractive to other males. The relationship between male anorexia

a lot of really interesting tidbits and a lot of all-too-familiar observations, plus plenty i never knew before. it made me laugh so many times because of how frequently absurd it all is

Writing in the 1860s, Sir William Gull noted that the illness occurs in male patients. Around the same time, French physician Ernest-Charles Lasgue incisively described the family dynamics of male patients with anorexia nervosa (Andersen, 2014). These two physicians are also known for giving anorexia nervosa its cumbersome name. In fact, the disease received the name “anorexia nervosa” instead of “anorexia hysterica” because of the existence of male patients who could not be labeled “hysterical” according to medical custom at that time (Silverman, 1990). Over the next 100 years, however, males are almost unmentioned in the literature.

Overcoming alienation entails not the reappropriation of an essence that had previously existed but the appropriation of what had been constituted in alienated form.

yea definitely agree, the christine/bryan exchange is just canon syllabus reading if you care about the atproto decentralized conversation beyond the tech itself, tho i do think seeing the contested nature of it in action offers one a distinct understanding and draws attention to key components
