Passing this on:

A uterus is NOT disposable even when you don’t want to have kids - it serves a purpose in women’s bodily health. If you need to get it removed for health reasons then absolutely do it, but please don’t ever think uterus + breasts serve no purpose when you’re not having kids. They greatly participate in the hormonal health of the body & brain, in the lymphatic structure, keeping other organs in their place, and it has been now proven by studies that if you do a hysterectomy when young it greatly affects your risk to get alzheimer’s/dementia. This is not to say you shouldn’t take care of your reproduction or get yourself sterilized if you want. But patriarchy has already commodified every body part of ours; please, let’s appreciate our natural bodies and health and not take it for granted. Please do not think your bodyparts are disposable if you are not having kids. That’s what men think. Your body parts are valuable and an important part of YOU. They serve YOU and your health, no-one else. You are not a barbie doll that can have parts taken out without consequences. You do not consist of parts, you are a whole person. You are a lovely, important human, and your health and body parts belong to you. I know we are taught to think about ourselves as a collection of body parts and to nit pick them apart, but I want to stress this is a patriarchal way of thinking. Your womb does not suddenly become irrelevant if you’re not in relationships with men. It is still hugely important to YOU.💜

So yeah, as usual, why in the world should anyone except the person with the uterus, getting a say in the matter?

Ahahahaha thank you.

Witness this right wing authoritarian whining about getting ratio’d for spouting Moral-Fear-Propaganda openly dehumanizing one group of people under another, crying about it.

Fascism is a virus all of it’s own, a weird evil in a bad way, the only kinds of degenerates with the only kind of kinks society must stop. Their bloodlust is the poison. This White-Supermacist, Eugenicist Cancer asks you to turn your neighbor in and destroys every nation that obliges.

So reader, Solidarity Forever. Ill promise you, you promise me, to never sell each other out to these murderous theives. I’ll call you on your shit, please call me on mine. We’ll work together, and our grass will be the greener in time. ❤️‍🔥

(Obvs wont be replying, will be mute-block-deleting any interactions from bigots)

It’s about colonised or coloniser, with drastically different privilege and safety for white folks than someone with melanin. You can play nuance games all you want, in the end this is pitting proles against proles for the sake of empire building. The common person would be much safer, happier and harmonious in the world of Land Back than the Neo-Colonialism we endure.

The Imperial Middle: Why Americans cant think straight about class

Lol talkin shit about based welsh people while being aussie. Ok meight.

Relevant for me; i nearly changed careers out of tech entirely – being fed up with the state of the industry – but found some great folks in worker cooperative spaces. Here’s what’s kept me optimistic:

Plucked a vid off this channel and let it be known the idea of the channel name is to “reject isms/be your own ism”

Solarpunk has replaced, for me, the plasteel+glass greenhouse skyscraper skylines. Afrofuturism offers a much better preconfiguration than anything of capitalist and anglo origins. Importantly, the dismantling of unjust heirarchies.

I never lost the optimism, i just recognized that the root cause of our pain is not going to be addressed by technnlology (new invention) without an equal-or-greater effort into decolonizing and unlearning on the part of those building, using and promoting a given technology.

Lmao get out you weird bigot

Yeah honestly like idk couple dozen strips in it just totally beat the joke to death. Swing and a miss.

https://resonate.coop/ is a spotify alternative which has been goin on for several years now. Support for small artists goes far, solidarity for all workers, Co-Ops represent a neccesary stepping stone towards a sustainable society so Subvert is nice to learn about :)

No way you even read all that. More proof you’re not here in good faith. Dont be surprised noone wants to engage with your mindtrack even in the most milktoast-mild of leftist community. Byyeeeee

As someone who’s not a doomer, with her Rage fueled Hope, and Hope fueled Rage:

Deep down, I know you cant believe this status quo can stand for much longer than it has.

If someone earns a dollar they didnt work for, someone else worked for a dollar they didnt earn.

As someone who’s transitioned out of economic privilege, I know how hollow all that iPicketFence really is.

You cant really expect others to aspire to that plastic existence.

You can’t really believe that endless colonization, that your comfort depending on someone of lower economic class existing, wont eventually result in fascism.

So that’s why the “Scratch a lib and a fash bleeds” phrase rings true. Thank you for airing out all your laundry for all to screencap, demonstrating just how that when we discuss what neoliberalism pushes, we can see it for thr prefiguration of a right wing authoritarian regime waiting to cannibalize it’s own nation.

Austerity Kills. Food Not Bombs. Housing is a human right. No Human is Illegal. Threats to the bodily autonomy of any Non-Man or Non-White are a threat for all. These are not utopia or naive, these are the bare basic conditions of humanity that have been stolen from the people, and causes for which local organizing today can tangibly improve lives being lived now AND prefigure a society that we can maybe even, someday have good reason to be proud of. Screw the fear, screw the dread, go build some connections with folks who are also putting in the work for these things, it reinvigorates the soul. (And sure helps reduce time spent with your pocket amulet)

Ive got much better things to do and a painful awareness of how much time gets sucked into these apps. As such, I engage on my terms:

Dont wait or engage too much with bait like the poster im replying to comrades. Organize, be out with your local community and build that dual power. Dont let the threat of state violence or surveillance cow you into policing your own beliefs. Fight for your rights bc you need them, because Only We Keep Us Safe.

🎵 The price of convenience will be our defeat 🎵

I’d also reccomend Skyline Blvd, John’s Song and Times New Roman. Oh and Sleepwalker, from the Destroy What Destroys you album

You can take those 3 arrows out of your pfp now. Ancap ass or 3-letter agent bullshit is all you espouse. Working class traitor

Looks like they have at least one more about Ireland but ive yet to watch that one.

As a tech professional, fuck AI, fuck Neoliberalism, and we need unions:

I’ll work for 40 years (at least)
40 hours a week
And if I am lucky retire by 60
I could sit at home with all of my things
Basking in the surplus
And the empty space

Fuck this whole empire and it’s class war, everything we “audaciously fight for” was only ever stolen from us in the first place.

Stop thinking in dualities and binaries. It’s not so simple, but to my own dismay, Greaves is indeed a grifter, a chauvanist and all the bigotry that comes with it.

If you give a shit about the downtrodden, for whom the metaphorical Luci Morningstar is held up to empower (it is just an extension of christian lore after all), then listen to the non-men, non-white and queer folks who saw first hand how TST, following in CoS’ footsteps, took advantage of us.

Now they’re called the alt-right
