unidentified flying bastard

There's a girl out there with a sad life. Her owner beats her. Her neighbor is an asshole. Her family is nuts. Every day for her is hard. But she always rises up again.

its so fucking weird because "masks in healthcare" should be the default all of the time. Doctors and nurses are literally employed to go from sick person to sick person, treating immunocompromised people especially often.

a take I've seen multiple times (and I don't mean to vague but I wasn't able to find an example for this post) from communists here is that academics in particular are unable to produce worthwhile or marxist analyses. There is a double standard at play here in which certain professions and means of intellectual production are seen as irredeemably contaminated (the case of academia and adjacents), and everything else remains unscrutinized. Generally speaking academics are under the same essential ideo-economic pressures as any other profession; there is no line of work in which identifying as a communist and acting on explicit and uncompromising marxist terms will not receive punishment. Focusing on intellectual production, I'd even argue academics experience certain freedoms not available for other avenues, such as social media, where many attempt to contribute to x or y conversation (like I am) and the medium imposes constraints on form and content that are more actively hostile to sustained theoretical argument than anything academic publication requires, e.g. the demand for immediate legibility, for compression into whatever unit circulates, for the affective register that drives engagement. But some people act like academic production is uniquely precluded from value to the broad communist movement or even tainted.

the word utena itself means "calyx," the part of a flowering plant which protects the bud and supports the blooming petals. i had heard this before in a fun fan fact kind of way but heard it from Hiroshi Nagahama-san, rgu's art director, whom i had the privilege of hearing speak at otakon years back.
