@devshears I don't think people realize that literally the sun, colors, smells, language and reality itself were materially different back then, as in we do not inhabit the same physical plane. We are technically in the same "locations" but its like some ship of theseus shit, an alien world
many of those tales to fit their perceived views better and it’s why many tales that originally were evil Stepfathers and Kings and Fathers and Brothers became evil Queens and Stepmothers and Sisters
Note the himpathy. A husband & father of two repeatedly visited a coffee shop to expose himself to the women working there, they eventually record it & post it online, the perpetrator offs himself, outrage is towards his victims. His mother calls for his victims to be charged.
@SAMOYEDCORE not often someone says “beyond parody” on here and its actually true, but genuinely how do you make “i’m not transphobic because i love girl dick so much and if that’s also transphobic its your fault for saying i’m transphobic so i’m still not transphobic” any more ridiculous?
In my thesis on fairy tales, I talked about how transcribing the tales fundamentally changed them, not only locking in a “one, true” version but also transforming them from community heritage to property. The people who created the tales are essentially cordoned off from them.
I’ve really been trying to keep my cool about Cycospliasis but my thing is, this is a result of slavery. It is in our faces at this point, like all the other sinister shit that runs this nation and many other nations. This country is so fucked man.
thinking about the odd relationship between milk & race: in the 19th c., breastmilk from Black wet nurses was thought to be contaminated, and in the 20th c., a Supreme Court case on milk regulation was the basis for the Civil Rights regime of the '60s
Yahya Sinwar, Malcolm X & George Jackson became revolutionaries in prison. Amerikan “abolitionism” doesn’t capture this aspect of prisons. That they are both a crystallization of the settler colonial society in its most extreme form and also schools for revolutionary thought.
