I’m thinking about things in my life that hinted at normative positions I hold now (relationship anarchy, anarchic in general, queer gender identity, vegan). Some of them have really nothing at all that I can remember (vegan) but others do.
Reading Ideology and Utopia and I’ve just barley started but this guy is just saying banger after banger like literally I’m highlighting every paragraph wtf
Feeling very tired out. Glad it’s weekend. Don’t know what I’ll do tho. No energy to read or game or social. Maybe anime/manga? Don’t feel like I can fully enjoy either. Just wanna lay down
reading "screw consent" which is like largely interesting? but a ton of the examples are like totally not with my intuitions and he acts like theyre just immediately obvious. perhaps i would be more open if i was more familiar with the literature hes contributing to?
didnt love love this manga (My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness), bc the themes explored and "moral of the story" type things weren't that great, but frequently very relatable to past or rough patches. but wanted to take note of these panels

I’ve been feeling really restless but also really tired and overwhelmed. Like I want to do something but I’m too depressed and tired to do anything of substance, so I just watch mindless YouTube or something
I haven’t been updating very much recently, I think Ive been partially overwhelmed and partially sad and partially just not feeling like reflecting. Food has been weird I don’t really wanna talk about it
Watched Wolf Children anime movie and kept thinking about how funny it would be to watch it with Gail. The furry moments are actually hilarious and often super cringe even tho I liked it overall, like the wolf having weird human hair or being edgy for no reason
Burned through a ton of the Malatesta anthology today; super clear writing, but not theoretically light either. Seriously such a kind and realistic person, genuinely committed to the wellbeing of all.
