To put this concretely, trans people are not oppressed because of some trans people (eg, sports) making us "look bad," as liberals claim. Optics are distractions used by elite classes to cover up their motivation for fascist drives against minorities, which is to destroy working class solidarity.

A red flag for me is the use of "optics" to justify retreating on moral positions. Under a dialectical understanding of history, optics have no relevance to politics. Politics is decided by violent class struggle, and the victors chosen based on the material organizing conditions of either side.

They should add penetrative sex to Harvest Moon.

Pleased to finally announce... Abdication, the last Southern Reach novel! "There will come the days of the watcher, the drowned woman and the shadow of a man who keeps falling apart with each step, but first comes the moment the birds appear at night from the gaps between the stars, far from home."

The greatest magic trick of them all is *lying*. The reason you can't figure out that coin vanish even after the conjurer performs it three times in a row is that they *didn't* do the same trick three times in a row! 1/

Being a parent is pretty tough, but it's all worth it for that moment, every once in a while, when you get to take your kid to the city to see a marching band and say, "Will you defeat them? Your demons and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made?"

Communism is the riddle of history solved, and it knows itself to be this solution.

It’s the argument I have problems with. Feels disingenuous. Throws writers under the bus. There are definitely enough good & inspired writers to make Blade. He is currently marketing a double mega movie with the laziest & most rehashed ever. Vampire Hunter would be refreshing. Ppl love that genre.

He can’t say the things that he’s saying in this article about only accepting great scripts considering the overall mid they’ve been selling for years now. I also don’t agree with his idea that Blade can’t just go in rocking leather & start killing vampires. Literally yes he can And He Should!!

Marvel's troubled BLADE reboot starring Mahershala Ali has seemingly taken its final stake to the heart.

As a result they are shutting down instead of acknowledging the union. Throwing the workers that live paycheck to paycheck onto the street. I will have fundraisers later but for now please flood their Instagram. Cafe: www.instagram.com/babysonfirec... Union: www.instagram.com/bofworkersun...

im so fucking sick of cowardly men who cannot take responsibility when they're wrong. fucking weak ass man babies to whom the words "I was wrong" represent a moral failing. they think no one respects them because everyone else is too woke, but no one respects them because they are not respectable.

in the phrase "i did it for the 'gram" the "'gram" represents the collective unconsciousness

how much more cruelty must we witness before a single thing is done to stop this by those with international power?

Yes, the moon controls the tides and the wind makes waves. But why are there waves even on calm days with no wind nearby? Why do they arrive in sets?

When a liberal says about a leftist position, "I support it in principle, but it will never happen," what they actually mean is, "I will never take a single action to help make it happen because I do not actually support it in principle." You can't "support" something without actually supporting it

There will be an influx this week. If you want to hit the ground running you will have to be proactive and put things on your own calendar and show up and volunteer to help. Do that if you don’t want to wait a month for outreach to reach out to you ok ? Ok.

A question I get a lot is “I signed up for DSA, but how to I actually get integrated” Often, the core members of your local chapter are at capacity and not on top of tracking every person that joins and walking them through this process- so I want to talk about how take it into your own hands
