I, Capitalist (accounts from a life under the... →
Our ancestors brought this Demon of Capitalism upon us because they wanted to end the harsh disparities of Feudalism—a system in which 1% of the population claimed absolute power because they were born into “noble families.” But Capitalism is simply a new myth to uphold the same disparities:
Now, instead of claiming their power through birthright, the ruling 1% claim they...

"the counterculture can't count"
I had a certain run-in with one of my classmates today after class.
I don’t know her name, and I wouldn’t have recognized her in the street. In fact, part of what pushed her to approach me was the fact that she had seen me the week prior in a local café, and I hadn’t recognized her though I sort of pretended that I had, and went along with her greeting. More on that later.
She asked how I was...

tw: rape joke
tanacles:
This man is my hero.
in case anyone was wondering if there were additional reasons this guy is utter and complete fail. That other, complete and horrifying mess that has been referred to before was not the first instance of his inability to understand how horrible it is to joke about rape- and likely, it is not the last, either.
Also how great is...
Hahaha, second time this has happened to me, because I am an utter and complete failure at technology and life: trying to drown out stupid computer lab voices with instrumental music - plug in headphones, turn up volume, proceed to listen for a quarter of an hour until the realization hits that headphone-to-hardware malfunction means that the music has been blaring through the computer’s...

finding motivation to leave the house lately is so fucking tough. i just want to stay in bed and stare at the ceiling or the inside of my eyelids or lazily play guitar or read about history or wallow in self-loathing for ever and ever and ever and ever. darnit, school. darnit, social obligations.
darn it all.
edit: i did have to leave the house today, because having to attend class said so, and...

nevernotbroken:
This is really intense shit that everyone should know about the history of the medical industry and how it was formed in western Europe and the United States, and who was hurt in the process, from a feminist perspective, and focuses a lot on the role of witchcraft in western European society and the oppressive role of professionalism in general.
I just — I can’t recommend this...

In 1996, a new ethnic group was added to the...
Those who so responded were almost entirely descendants of the European settlers who peopled the French and English colonies.

It is interesting that these people choose not to identify with their ancestral ethnic origins but rather adopted a newly minted, national ethnicity. Unfortunately we cannot accurately gauge the growth of this nascent pseudo-ethnicity,...
Reasons to be in a good mood today:

batty and balanced.
vapid and vulnerable.
sensible and scatterbrained. sober and silly.

rice is nice
I remember hearing somewhere, a long time ago, that it’s disrespectful to the rice to pour it into boiling water - that you need to put it in cool/lukewarm water and then heat it to a boil in order to cook it properly (kinda like a frog…)
Anyway, makin’ rice tonight, thought I’d ask the Internet if it could confirm that ancient suspicion of mine (it couldn’t) and...
discipline, i lack it so hard
The only grade I’ve got back so far this term has been a 65. Apparently I can’t pull off 80s when I don’t try much, or study much, and suppress thinking about school, and am drowning in all sorts of apathy all at the same time. Better pull up my socks

ispeakvegan:
When my twin daughters first announced to me at the age of 16 that they were in fact transitioning to veganism, I knew I had to rethink and restock our kitchen pantry as well as my mental pantry. While vegetarianism was a bit of a transition, simply eliminating meat products from their…

I think my dating life would have been a lot easier if I was gay. I am 5’4” and really just just not very masculine in a lot of ways.
But I have met a few women along the way that weren’t obsessed with masculinity, and that has always meant a lot to me.
Especially my girlfriend Kim. She has always seemed to have such a great ability to look past her culture and privilege...

Guy Fawkes was not a crusader for truth and justice. Guy Fawkes was a militant papist Catholic. He stood against gay rights, women’s rights, and anything deemed unworthy by the church. When he plotted to blow up Parliament it was not to bring about some radical egalitarian system. He intended to…
