inhumane nature

i started listening to the audiobook of “the dawn of everything: a new history of humanity” and the narrator’s voice makes it sound like a prequel to the dispossessed

back at it and i am not kidding. between the writing style, narrator’s accent and cadence, and the subject matter…... it’s very good.

if you’re apathetic about harm right up until someone tries to stop the harm at which point you become very passionate about allowing the harm to continue I don’t believe that apathy was real to begin with.

if your apathy stems from there being no harm and your passions emerge once harm gets described I’m going to start to suspect that you’re actually quite passionate about concealing harm

it’s such a shame that despite the millions of books, movies, and tv shows out there, no one has EVER managed to write a woman well. yeah, believe it or not, it’s never happened, not even once! and since i’m incapable of enjoying characters that AREN’T well written, i’ll just have to keep ONLY enjoying well written men, like tony stark

whatever rural area you’re thinking of is also part of history. it is not a timeless, empty landscape. yes, even that one.

I firmly believe that all identities are relational and formed through partaking in certain sets of actions. I also think when you’re isolated it’s very easy to lose track of who You are. I think this is why so many lonely/isolated people end up obsessing over labels and label discourse. it’s one of the only processes of identity formation you can partake in by yourself, in your bedroom. this is not meant as a value judgement, just as an observation as someone who was that lonely label-obsessed kid in the past
