had a jewish studies professor and one time she off-handedly mentioned that homosexuality was a racialized category for nazis and that blew my mind.
i never asked her for some reading on the subject but i think she had in mind William Spurlin's Lost Intimacies. can't find a pdf tho :(
can you read german 😭
otherwise the cambridge guyer-wood translation is the standard, tho some say pluhar is more readable (can't confirm, i haven't read that translation)
objectively (as evaluated from a non-capitalistic standard)
a silly small example but consider the adblocker wars. this serves no person’s real interests. treadmill work on both sides and the whole thing is just depressing and exhausting.
been thinking about Freire lately and while i'm obvi not on board with his foundations, i feel the importance of his notion of dehumanization. i do it at my job all the time - i am dehumanized by my structural position but by being a vector of capital's power i dehumanize those who my work affects.
omg you’re revolting against the oppressive strictures of english linguistic standards
language ideologies are no match for your free spirit
congrats you’re in the club
why are people in the company group chat bragging about keyboard shortcuts they know
today i will wake up and tell 127 people that ctrl+w closes a tab 🤯
hehehe cute
idk its nbd but i feel like every available micrological option is disastrous and no one seems to care. i wish people were more willing to be critical and uncomfortable and less interested in self-vindication.
i legitimately believe this in all sorts of ways
besides the structural grounds of conservative codification, affirmation, and truth-implication, the most concerning thing is the way in which contributions to any discussion direct attention.
linguistic interventions are always inadequately attention-orienting and necessarily fail to capture the horrifying conditions we are subject to and perpetrators of. communism demands quietism, but its instantiation demands its antithesis.
