I haven’t seen any posts about this! But, thanks to the Internet Archive lawsuit, half a million books have been removed from their library. They are calling for people to share their experiences to help them regain access to these books, so please considering sending something in!

6/17/2024 edit: They’re also requesting that people sign an open letter asking the publishers to restore access, so please consider doing that too!

literally so funny how there's people on this site that actually think it's a reasonable response in any situation to threaten others with the fbi like yeah that's the epitome of white queers as per james baldwin's evergreen quote lmao

One of the seldom spoken about joys of veganism is how much more in tune you feel with the natural world. When you stop participating in the chain of the animal agricultural industry, when you rip your link from it, you meaningfully reduce your contribution to the destruction of the environment. It isn't just about loving animals and taking a stand against the injustices committed against them, but also in acting towards making the earth, our shared home, a better, healthier place for every animal we share this space with. We're all intricately linked and a positive choice that betters animal welfare, also betters the environment, and vice versa. From the tops of the highest mountains to the depths of our seas, there is life worth fighting for!

If you claim to care about climate change but don't do what you can to minimize your meat consumption, you're not even doing the bare minimum to address it.

love how people on the left aren't allowed to criticize neoliberal moderate fascists ever, because apparently "pushing the party left" isn't allowed anymore, and 1 drop of criticism in a sea of astroturfing is somehow literally the same as casting a vote for hitler

Any discussion about environmental justice that doesn’t involve how factory farming is one of, if not the worst, destructive forces on the planet is completely irrelevant and I am not here for that shit.

i think a lot of comfortable liberals, esp in the imperial core, balk at the critical analyses of politically conscious people because they are genuinely fearful to grasp the degree of mundane cruelty necessary to fuel the current ruling order. it offends their sensibilities. it is disturbing and it disturbs. it would require grappling with the reality that they benefit from it, and it would require active effort to try to comprehend the genuinely incomprehensible level of bloodshed which maintains the status quo. when, for examples, liberals ask such questions as "well, during 'the revolution,' what about how [x tokenized demographic who is vulnerable] will be harmed?", they do so because they refuse to accept the reality of the mundane and normalized level of violence essential to the state of affairs.

the reality that must be contended with (and, certainly, the unignorable, compulsory reality for the vast majority of the peoples of the world) is that the state of affairs is saturated with more blood than anybody in their single lives could possibly wrap their head around. comfortable liberals seem to want to believe the world is, on some level, good, or at least neutral. undoubtedly there are good things in this world, but that is true in such a trivial sense, like saying "the sun will rise the next day," that it amounts to nothing more than trite aphorism in the face of unimaginable cruelty.

the gears of this system are oiled with more blood than we will ever know. genocide and devastation and war and extraction and exploitation and slavery and humiliation are the norms of this system. this system innovates the most imaginative cruelties in service of shaving fractions of pennies off of costs to elevate profits and consolidate capital. to have any kind of real, or, genuinely, even optimistic understanding of the world requires contending with this reality of status quo.

friendly reminder that you can still get covid in 2024, we're in the middle of a massive wave right now and covid is NOT "just a cold". take necessary precautions in crowded places, on buses, on train, or on planes. it's better enduring a few strange looks when wearing a mask than getting ill and/or (god forbid) lifelong complications from long covid!

oh also, if you've got symptoms–yes it's a pain to have to buy a test–but PLEASE test. we're still in the middle of a pandemic however much we all want to forget that fact and we can still do our bit to protect others!
