Even in a post-capitalist, post-consumerist world, you still need to produce goods, as a result of this, you need factories because it is more effective to have a few people making a lot of clothes in a factory than every woman being forced to sit down and spin wool all day.

The issue with factories is poor wages, unsafe working conditions and environmental impact, all of which can be fixed through things like regulatory bodies and unions, the issue is not the fact that goods are no longer all made at home

we need to periodically remind everyone that a headline not including a person's name isn't an attempt to erase their identity from the narrative, it's just not good practice to put someone's name in a headline unless the reader can be expected to already know who they are

"if you can say the name in the article why can't you say the name in the headline?" what do you think a headline is for

the old "polyamory is ONLY for people who have their shit together" sentiment in relation to like attention to your partner/emotional maturity/working through jealousy etc. is really funny because actually everyone should be doing that but monogs love to offload necessary emotional/personal work by just treating their partner like a dog instead. yes i know i said something about treating someone like a dog yes i know that made you horny yes yes blacked out and reblogged all very good dear thank you

A question for the ages.

Collecting friends with specific hobbies and special interests and being like "Heh... I Know A Guy" so I sound like someone in a heist movie instead of having like, "friend who likes horror novels" or whatever

Sometimes if they're out of state or out of the country I'll throw that in too like I'm an INTERNATIONAL heist organizer. "[Jason Statham voice] Yeah I have a contact who might be able to tell you where to watch Tetsuo: The Iron Man. She's based out of Toronto, I'll see what I can do, she may be in the middle of a different job"

"Maybe it's just stress/anxiety" is so crazy as a Dismissive Statement because even when it *is* anxiety it's such an understatement to be like "how about you just chill out idk" when your body is poisoning itself with its own stress hormones. Like okay sometimes it is anxiety. This is still physically happening to me

"It's probably just stress" and it's like well documented that it can just kill people sometimes
