#lefty stuff

this is included in the bottom author’s note of my new fic, but i wanted to post it here too.  just to sort of explain where i've been and what's been up, because some people know, but a lot of people don't.  about two years ago i was diagnosed with some really shitty stuff.  incurable stuff.  stuff that means extraneous hobby things like writing and fandom were impossible.  after way too many months of (horrible, painful, invasive) weekly treatments, and no help at all, i finally found a doctor who got things somewhat under control.  it's been a slow-ass journey to get to a point where i could even turn on my laptop again, but i'm here.  i'm trying.  i'm writing.

i don't know what the future holds.  last week they found a mass crowding up my insides and being an absolute shit. (as masses tend to do)  i have surgery later this month to remove it, and then the waiting game of biopsies and results, and i'm really NOT looking forward to any of that.  so if you could all just have a lot of fun with me doing the fandom thing right now, that would be incredibly helpful.  i need a distraction from the scary stuff looming on the horizon.  have fun with me, guys.  that's all i ask.

Stop whining about how everyone else has “bad politics” and about your utter disdain for the rest of the left.  Pull your goddamned pants up and do some actual goddamned political work if you want things to get better, but you actually don’t, you just want to wank on about how much smarter you are than everybody else and write smug condemnations of “identity politics” while endlessly talking over women and POC.  If you’re so upset about the left, either fix it or fucking leave, people like you scare newbies out of the movement with your endless fucking shitty complaining and complete lack of action. 

It doesn’t account for shitty families, for an otherwise good families’ tendency to overstep a disabled adults boundaries and infantilize them, and it also creates a reliance on the economic family unit. That shouldn’t be happening in a classless, moneyless, stateless society.

Things that were originally state run being worker-run in a decentralized way should be the goal here, not hippy bullshit like “drugs are just chemicals, maaan! Your mum can take care of you, who needs doctors and colleges!!” 

most artists either A) take a working class job to support themselves or B) live in deep poverty

neither of those things is bourgeois, you have to be very divorced from reality to think most artists afford downtown new york studios and have millionaire patrons
