[Redacted] is teaching a class on Tokarczuk and I can't audit it because I am not a "student" or "affiliated with the university anymore." This is discrimination,,, (I'm going to email and ask if she will let me in) (M's already adding me to the lecture list because I'm reading Books of Jacob in English and Polish simultaneously like I wouldn't undertake that as soon as the translation came out!!! I went to the talk Jenny did with Olga, I love them both)

#Make a weird impression on people because I am too disabled to sell labor for wages but am not .#Too disabled to be like a dilettante 19th-century lordling who reads all day never leaves the house and does not cook #I am firmly convinced that a person w/ my level of disability could function as a scholar-recluse who inherited a wealthy estate in #The 19th century and that is why we need socialism bc ppl still theorize...a UNIVERSAL servant class #as a necessary disability accommodation and this makes some extremely online leftists frame #Disabled people as spoiled boy-princes ensconced in their mansions ordering DoorDash or #Socialites who can't cook or dress themselves giving orders to the maid or the kitchen staff & being #Attended by ladies in waiting #And thus concluding that Absolute Independence is the only way to avoid exploiting a underclass #When like. You can create a robust welfare system & state structure & train people & pay them a living wage &#Rotate their shifts so they work reasonable hours. Dude #Sorry about the tags I have once again taken half an edible to deal with my stupid fucking pain bc #Nobody will let me see a stupid fucking doctor
