the value of life in general tbh. ya’ll are so callous. i was talking to one of my buddies who’s a researcher and she was telling me abt how a mutual of hers enjoys experimenting on mice. they have to decapitate the mice to collect their brain cells or something, and the guy said he enjoys that. and then she was telling me about a team of researchers who created a legless mouse just to understand the genes for legs.

and i have no chill, so i said a scientist who enjoys decapitating mice is the same sort of scientist who would’ve justified experimenting on Black Women when that was common practice.

i don’t think there’s some fatal flaw in the soul of white people that gives them sadistic tendencies. i think it’s the product of generations of indoctrination into sadism. and a hunger for power taught to them at a young age.

when i was a kid i knew a girl who would throw worms into campfires for fun. that scared me so bad. i asked her why she did it because i thought she loved worms. she acted so shocked. she said she did love worms, she also enjoyed watching them burn. she couldn’t comprehend the cognitive dissonance between loving worms and also enjoying watching them burn alive.

ya’ll really need to internalize value for lives. value for all living things. and an aversion for cruel violence. because one thing that remains pretty consistent for white people across the political spectrum is that once they’ve dehumanized a group in their minds, they enjoy the prospect of cruel and unusual violence towards them.

the white leftists who fantasize about violent deaths for police are coming from a similar place as the white soldiers who sexually abused and tortured Iraqi men in Abu Ghraib two decades ago. coming from the same place as Israelis who get off on the torture of Palestinians.

don’t you see that?

violence is shorthand for power. ya’ll crave power so you crave the power that enacting violence imparts.

and until we unlearn this we’ll remain stuck in the same sorts of power structures that have plagued mankind for centuries

the casual anti-blackness and tbh white supremacy that prevades this site is getting to be too much for me. and i don’t mean “people with white skin are superior,” i mean this sort of really laissez faire attitude towards the lives of non-white people, it’s pernicious.

ya’ll are so self-centered it’s like the value of nonwhite lives doesn’t even register to ya’ll, and if it does, it’s as an afterthought. making jokes about Iran being bombed. people are murdered by state violence en masse, and ya’ll just use it to fuel your edgy nihlist humor. you’re so edgy. you’re so above it all. you’re so detached from the value of a human life. cold unfeeling fucks. ya’ll would own slaves if it meant you could be smug and pretentious online all day every day. you’re no better than your colonizing ancestors.

“actually, i think there’s no value to any human life, not even the white ones.”

as if that’s any fucking better…

You know how there's that dangling plot thread about the Emperor's lost chambers in Canaan House in Harrow the Ninth? I was browsing Harrow for another, unrelated post and this stopped me dead in my tracks:

So I immediately searched for “broom” in Gideon the Ninth, and

… Well, that says nothing really, though it's kinda funny that Canaan is an inversion of the Mithraeum.

… What about Nona?

So I guess none of this is meant to be foreshadowing of anything, but today we learnt that Tamsyn has mentioned broom cupboards once per book, which is a funny coincidence unless here actually is a reveal somewhere in Alecto and she's just planted the phrase throughout to spook us in future readings.

… Maybe I should go think about something else.

(*pacing back and forth* I still think Abigail's “alongside” coment implies God's chambers are isolated from the restof the building and require entry through the River… it's “alongside” this dimension…)

You could read 500 books a year but unless you learn to think slowly & deeply abt them you could still be a fucking idiot btw

oh also? An absolutely freaky thing I'm seeing yt leftists do?

STOP TRYING TO TRACK DOWN PROTESTORS THAT DO 'BADASS STUFF'. STOP POSTING ABOUT IT ONLINE.

PEOPLE FUCKING DIE.

AND IT'S USUALLY SOMEONE MELANATED.

THE GOVERNMENT IS WATCHING YOU FUCKING DUMBASS.

y'all are so stuck on egoistic heroism that every time someone does something 'sick' at a protest you wanna turn them in to the next celebrity to have a parasocial relationship with and then they go missing.

Tf is wrong w y'all.

Guys I just had such a good moment with my mama where I felt so seen. So I've basically been living in her house the past few months just mentally ill as fuck, depressed, and stuck. And I just read her an excerpt of a personal essay I've been working on the past month for a class that I haven't been able to finish.

And she was just like, "Wow. I see what you're doing. You have a gift, focus on writing." Like every artist I feel goes through a period of time where everyone kinda thinks they're delusional, they have their heads in the clouds, they 're not doing anything, etc.

Not calling myself an artist, not at all. But it's really nice not to feel crazy for wanting to pursue a creative medium. And it's not like my mom is the first to validate me, everyone who's read my writing has. But also those people are themselves writers, so it's easy for them to see what I'm doing. But it is really nice to know that someone who's not a writer can see what I'm doing. She was like yeah, I see what you're doing. Like omg, you see it right? You see it? Okay.

The love that you have today will seem small because you will see as life goes on that your love will grow and grow and grow, until one day you realize that it will never stop growing.

this might sound stupid but I can’t help but believe that the new wave of “birth control is actually horrible for your body, you need to get off it immediately” misinformation from influencers and the ‘natural cycle tracking’ apps suddenly being advertised is a sneaky underhanded way of causing more unplanned pregnancies that people now cannot abort. now is possibly the worst time ever to turn towards ‘natural family planning’
