insane how many people just have these incredible artists in their families who get no recognition outside of crocheting circles because this art form is devalued for its association with women

in my country, the word for crocheting, is used metaphorically, to compliment a surgeon’s work.

every AFAB person my mother’s age and older, had practiced this craft at one point on another.

My mom has made literal paintings, that decorate our house for years (I’ll come back with pictures when I visit next) you can only see that they are crocheting when you go very close.

as promised here’s my mom’s crocheting “paintings”

There is another one but it had been stored many years ago, (i remember it from my childhood) and sadly it is probably damaged by mold, it depicted wild horsed running in nature

i’ve been saying it for years:

government considers you able to work if you can give anything more than 0%

employers consider you unhireable if you give anything less than 100%

I remember I once got into an argument in a forum, where I said that from my observation on how the US military is revered and treated (both parties agree in two things: keeping the neoliberal order and funding the military), there is a very, very real possibility that in the not too distant future the military might just say “fuck it” and dispense with the whole pretense or democracy, or more likely, make it a supervised “”“democracy”“” (like the Concordancia here in Argentina, or Frondizi who had his hands tied and when he went too far he was couped)

The Usamericans* argued back with me with an argument so silly that I was baffled it was their main one: that soldiers in the US ~make an oath~ to ~defend the Constitution~ and so they wouldn’t do a coup, ever.

I can’t even start to tell how stupid that was but newsflash, EVERY military around the world swears an oath, and most coups happen when they, in fact, use it as an excuse to “save the nation” from some enemy. Which the US military already does all the time, under “democratic” “supervision”. If tomorrow, a bunch of generals decided they don’t even care about the whole democracy thing anymore, every single soldier would fall in line, because that’s what soldiers do. There won’t be a Hero Moment where they would realize The Error Of Their Ways and try to stop the Bad General, they will obey orders. Because that’s what soldiers do.

Armies, if they exist at all, should be strictly controlled by a democratic goverment accountable to and serving the people. The US army is way beyond that, it only serves itself and someday, it will decide that it doesn’t even need the whole pretense any longer. And if people don’t resist now, it will be even harder when they take control.

*some of them ex-military, so they apparently really believed this

And yes, this will affect us down south and everywhere if it happens. Because the US military is the military branch of the US neoliberal and imperial project. And if (hopefully not when) it takes charge, it will be pure, undiluted imperialism.

Can you imagine this #girlboss in charge of a military junta?

So anytime you can, say it: fuck the marines, fuck the army, yankees go home.

Reblogging things I like feels a lot more goblinesque than upvoting ever did. The upvotes felt like “hmm yes, I approve *golf claps*” while reblogging feels like furtively staring at something before shoving it in your mouth and scurrying back underneath the nearest piece of furniture.

Which isn’t to say that I don’t like it. But I definitely find myself going “maybe I shouldn’t reblog this because I’ve already reblogged a bunch of things today and I don’t want to look like I don’t have a life,” I say as I close the app and reopen it like one of those little automatic box toys with the switches.

Pay heed to Klaudia Amenábar’s words! Don’t let the executives weaponize fandoms. WGA Strong.

My guys it is starting to work, I’ve seen some people I know complaining about the writer’s strike and turning against them because their favorite shows and/or movie got put on hold. Please do not be fooled like this, this is exactly what the corporations want. It can wait, I promise you will find other things to focus, but writers need this.

They saw how angry and butthurt people got during/after the last writer’s strike. There are still thinkpieces and YouTube videos that will bring up how Season Whatever of their show was So Bad because it got cut short or had to resort to a new writing team partway into production. They know that if they lean on that this time around, fandom people who form their entire identity around their blorbos will try to push for ending the strike.

Don’t. Fall. For. It.

Just a reminder, the WGA strike is still happening!

We’re starting to see news of how the strike will [affect shows], don’t fall for the above!!

While some authors make an exaggerated claim that it was a “state-planned economy” or even “socialist”, the Inca economy was impressive. There was little to no commerce as such; the production of all the empire was administered and redistributed by the state. I have to look up the exact quotes now, but the Spanish were impressed that they saw no poor people among them, because they could simply go to the local tambos to take the food or clothing they needed; these tambos also served as administrative centers for the whole *bureaucracy* this needed. And it was so efficient that people in Cuzco, 3000 meters high in the Andes, could enjoy fresh seafood from the Pacific and items from the nearby jungles. There have been other “palace economies” where the central “palace” redistributed resources like say in Greece, the Middle East, but those were mostly city-states, not an empire that covered almost half of South America. It was something unique.

My brother’s girlfriend had HPV, so he went to get himself the HPV vaccine. There is a fee to pay (nothing much, something like €87) but it’s completely free if you’re in one of the “at risk” groups.

“What does that mean,” he asks.
“It’s free if you’re gay,” he’s told.
“Ah. Would I have to like, prove it, or…?”
“Just put in a check mark here.”

My brother is in no way, shape or form attracted to men, but also he’s stingy as it gets. So now he’s officially gay. Congrats bro.

“Doctor, give it to me straight”
“You sure, there’s a fee”
“… Give it to me gay”
