Posting faggot and queer like 2am gunshots to keep property values on my blog low and scare away assimilationist LGBTs who want to replace my empty lot full of native wildflowers with a 5-over-1 because they're too traumatized by their upbringing to accept the reality of our diverse marginalized community
The dykes and trannies in the notes have informed me they would like to be included in this commentary on the homogenizing forces of gentrification within the queer community as represented by language discourse around "slur" reclamation
stop glorifying and romanticizing weight loss, especially attained through illness & unhealthy habits
ALTsomeone convince me that downloading PDFs is not actually the same thing as working on my dissertation
I just came out here to have a good time
"A student [downloads] hundreds of pages of [PDFs] and takes them home, and the manual labor he exercises in doing so gives him the impression that he possesses the work. Owning the [PDFs] exempts the student from actually reading them. This sort of vertigo of accumulation, a neocapitalism of information, happens to many."

I think the most radical thing the hunger games does is tell young people that the most revolutionary thing you can do is have unconditional love for humanity. Katniss throughout the entire series is guided by a deep sense of compassion for the people around her. It is what causes her to volunteer, to bury rue, to mercy kill cato, its why she tries to save peeta, why finnick telling her to remember who the real enemy is works, and even though her compassion for the larger world falters when peeta is kidnapped, it comes back when she visits hospitals and asks for mercy for other victors and ultimately, it is love and belief in a better humanity that makes her kill coin. Through it all, she maintains an unfaltering belief in the fundemental goodness of humanity, which is diametrically opposed to dr gaul's and snow's worldview. Peeta is even more unwaveringly compassionate
So the series tells young people that the most revolutionary thing you can be is compassionate. Let compassion drive your politics. Let yourself believe in the fundemental goodness of people. And i think that's deeply important in a world that touts the superiority of pure reason or logic, to allow yourself to be guided by something as emotional as compassion. Katniss everdeen tells us that your politics should be rooted in compassion in a world that thinks detatchment or cynicism is intelligence and i think thats v cool
i read the hunger games at an influential age and alongside a dozen other books that showed me the worst that humanity could offer and realized that choosing compassion, choosing kindness, choosing love was always the best choice.
i think that it's a lot of the reason why I am still an optimist today. I love every person I have never met. Because when everything is shit you can still stop and smell the flowers and smile at a stranger and tell your friends you love them.
