For sensitive guys like me, having a little fire and a warm drink on a Friday night is a sacred tradition. Sorry, no parties here! Just nice, quiet me time. Nothing like when it starts to rain too, I get to curl up with a good book.

🚨 At Socialism 2026’s “Liberatory Spirit, the Spirit of Liberation” panel, Rev. Jinzu Minna Jain warns that even left-wing spaces can accidentally reproduce “health fascism” through the language of healing.
She says organizers need to be careful about what “healing” means, because sometimes people are not looking to “get better” or “move past” trauma at all.
Instead, she argues, what people may need is collective support while “sitting with the cracks,” “sitting with the bones,” and “sitting in the horror together.”

🚨 “The More Dysgenic, the Better”: Beatrice Adler-Bolton Says the Left Must Give Up the “Fantasy of Being Fitter Than the Fascists”
At Socialism 2026, Adler-Bolton argues that “fitness is a measure of relative disposability under capitalism” and says the goal should not be to become “more useful to the ruling order.”
She says the left should not try to beat fascists “at their own game” by becoming “fitter, more eugenic.”
“In fact, the more dysgenic, the better, I think.”
She closes by arguing that revolution is not “a contest between optimized and properly prepared bodies” and that the very idea is itself fascist.
