Surgeons are just like that.

I really enjoyed Pokemon Go right up until I read Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff.

Occasionally forget people genuinely think capitalism is thousands of years old

One time I was talking about Robin Hood with some coworkers and one guy was like “he was bad because the people he helped learned to expect handouts” and I wanted to be like… okay can you explain how that flawed capitalist propaganda applies to feudalism

reminder that capitalism was literally invented in the 16th century

That’s an exaggeration. What was invented in the 16th century was mercantilism. Capitalism really dates for the beginning of the nineteenth century, with the rise of industry and cash crops over artisans and merchants. Vulture capitalism, with the notion that companies have no duties other than generating profit, is even younger.

Capitalism is only 200 years old and I have to say, they have not been an impressive 200 years

An alarming amount of people seem to think capitalism = all trade, and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

Karl Marx also didn't think it was a coincidence.

the hill I die on re: griddlehark characterization is that gideon is canonically tidy and harrow is not. Because gideon needs some small sense of agency over her own life. similar to how she's always working out because she needs control of something about her own body. Harrow isn't as careful with things that belong to her

don't get me wrong harrow is living by a set of strict rules that keep her functional but those rules are not legible to anyone else and they don't involve taking care of her body or doing her laundry

fuck I want a life sized cardboard cutout of Gideon Nav

Evil transgender tip #9 read up on intersex people. A lot of trans and intersex struggles overlap and solidarity is important.

One time in college I Lobbied My Senator with a trans group I was part of and it was me and a trans high school kid and the trans teen's grown up, and we were mostly talking about trans-related laws but somehow in the meeting someone raised a question about a bill against involuntary intersex surgeries and the teen was like what's that and I said something like "when babies are born with bodies that look like ours look after hormones, sometimes doctors cut off parts of their genitals to make them more normal" and the boy was like oh no that's really sad! And I was like I think so too!! And the cis people in the room sat in silent horror for several minutes and I do not think we moved that senator on the trans stuff but I do think we moved her on the intersex bill.

I love how every tlt old person polycule fanartist has decided that mercy and augustine are the classiest most glamorous golden era hollywood glittery darlings. And then john is just a guy

Is that not canon

when i say autogynephilia isn’t real in any meaningful sense, i don’t mean that trans women don’t get turned on by themselves being hot. i mean that it is perfectly normal to do so and many cis people also do that

it's pretty cool that I can plug in a picture of a plant and ask chatgpt what it is and get a pretty reliable answer back. the neighbors to the south have a tree that dips into my yard and it's growing some kind of fruit that I discovered are most likely walnuts. neat!

ur gonna lose your shit when you find out about iNaturalist then

I cannot emphasize enough how much you should not eat something based on chatGPT telling you that it is safe to eat.
