yea he's got plenty of fine interesting nuggets, especially when he stays in his anthropology lane, but he's also got a lot of really sloppy scholarship and his core theoretical commitments are incredibly flimsy. "the world is what we make it" humanist moralist social anarchism blegh.
any anarchist worth their salt reading this is gonna cringe their balls off. which is fine if hes just intentionally lying to appeal to normies, but you get the sense by reading his other work that he basically agrees with the content of this piece
oh yeah it’s not really an issue, it just made me realize i had no desire to adapt to the immutable way of doing things after looking into fixes (since a buncha scripts explicitly call bash instead of sh)
also this is a bizarre anecdote but the first time i ever installed linux i tried and failed to setup nixpkg as my primary package manager for some reason
just finished and it touches on a lot of the points tangential to the blog post i just made (thanks for fantastically fitting recommendation!). i'm going to need some time to digest, critically reflect, and apply it
the principle example of “showing more skin” i had in mind was wearing a t-shirt, so i’m not sure how slutty that is. but phrasing it that way certainly confirms i am extremely stupid :>
girls with body image issues that exclusively wear baggy sweatshirts putting on something normal instead: i'm usually fat but wow look how cute and skinny i am!
i tell myself (and genuinely believe) that i just like wearing comfy clothes, but the issue is that "comfy" is not a pre-political concept. part of the reason an article of clothing counts as comfy for me is that it acts as a barrier for my skin from itself and my skin from the world around me.
it's bad and i'm embarrassed. it basically doesn't address anything despite dawdling for so long. i was just determined to actually put it out there once i had the idea this morning. thanks for understanding chat
