Welcome to my blog!
About me:
My name is Holly, or if you'd like the long form, Heosphoros. You can call me Holly, Heos, or Heo if you'd like. I have a preference for Holly, but I don't mind if you use names interchangeably.
I use She/Her (capitalized) or she/her (lowercase) pronouns - again, can be used interchangeably. I'm a queer trans woman, and I'm monogamish but open to polyamory.
I'm autistic, and I've got some unknown medical problems I need to see a doctor about. I like creating things, but I have trouble finishing projects.
Other places you can find me:
Twitch (Currently inactive due to my PS4 having Red Light of Death'd and my laptop having low RAM)
YouTube (I upload literally anything I want here - gaming videos, shitposting, video essays - whatever I want, whenever I want. I upload very slowly)
Bluesky (I rarely upload here and mainly just lurk)
Ko-Fi (I don't upload anything here, you can just donate to help financially if you'd like)
Considering making a Cohost.
Current projects:
The New Communist Manifesto
(I feel that The Communist Manifesto, while a good document, needs to be updated for the modern age, having been outdated by 200 years, which makes it harder for people to truly understand Communism in an age of reborn Red Scares and US Cold Wars overlapping each other. I would appreciate some input on African and West Asian contributions to leftism.)
Hypixel Skyblock but it's played by an idiot
(A Minecraft YouTube series tracking my slow progress in Hypixel Skyblock)
Video Essays (continual)
(Video essays ranging from video games to serious topics. These take weeks to months to create, and days to weeks to edit. I also take the time to subtitle every video I release, sometimes before release, and sometimes after - this may take me weeks or months, depending on video length and IRL issues.)
Special tags I'll be using in the future:
#mdmp art, #mdmp art (year): Self-explanatory, I'll be using this for my art
#fav: This'll help me find things I really like
#it me, #mdmp irl: If I ever take selfies I'll slap them in these
#gaia union: Topics related to the Gaia Union project
#ncm: Topics related to the New Communist Manifesto project
#video essay, #video essays: Self explanatory; I'll put video essays under here
#mdmp rambles: Random text posts from me
Stances: (More can be found beneath the cut on account of length)
2024 US Election:
Vote for Dr. Jill Stein. I was previously advocating for Dr. Cornel West, Ph.D., but it seems unlikely that he'll gain enough ballot access. Dr. Jill Stein already does:
Claudia de la Cruz is a bad option, as the Party for Socialism and Liberation has a Conservative 5th Column, and has frequent problems with discrimination, so Dr. Cornel West, Ph.D. continues to be the ideal option.
Political and socioeconomic:
I'm a Communist - this means that I believe in a stateless, classless, moneyless society. As a shorthand: I believe that workers should own their workplaces, with CEOs being democratically elected by their employees,
and the government functioning mainly as representatives for their people, processing the public's votes and distributing resources without denying human rights as a threat for employees not working at, "peak efficiency."
AI:
The name, "AI," is a misnomer used to describe a variety of improved versions of technology we've had for decades, and the modern use of it is generally used for crypto pumping, art theft, and money laundering.
Programs such as Midjourney and ChatGPT use large amounts of electricity and water, as well as contributing negatively to climate change via rare earth metal mines.
I would recommend this excellent video essay by Philosophy Tube on this subject. I tend to refer to it by a variety of terms, such as (but not limited to) Digital Hapsburg Generators, Long-Form Autocorrect, and Automated Theft Engines.
J.K. Rowling:
Rowling is an anti-feminist misogynistic transphobic prick who doesn't just actively make things worse for trans women, but women in general. You can't participate in death-of-the-author if the author is still alive. Do not buy her products, including Hogwarts Legacy.
As an aside, I also recommend this video essay about the problems with her Harry Potter series, critiquing her work as an author, even outside of her Twitter politics and donations to far- and alt-right organizations.
Russian invasion of Ukraine:
Russia doesn't have the right to invade Ukraine, even if the USSR previously had Ukraine as a state within it.
This is a gross misrepresentation of how the states of the USSR worked (though the USSR had many flaws; I recommend these video essays by Socialist YouTuber Hakim discussing the fall of the USSR and flaws with former socialism attempts), and is an excuse to be an expansionist fascist, and is just rooted in Russian nationalism.
Even the Russian people have been losing their shit over their president's actions and don't agree with him.
Atomic Heart:
Atomic Heart is a Russian nationalist game, which calls Ukrainians swine/livestock, demonizes Ukrainian technology, uses a floral symbol of Ukraine on a hostile drone, and bases the sex robots off of a prior Ukrainian official.
This game also explicitly uses a military photograph of Russian soldiers participating in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Do not purchase or play this developer's games.
The Last of Us:
The Last of Us is a game made by a Zionist, based on the Israeli occupation and later holocaust of Palestine, and the second game was explicitly made as, "revenge against Palestinians." As I had the first game gifted to me years before I knew about this, I may make a video essay about this in the future, but I'm not purchasing the second game.
Do not purchase or play this developer's games.
Palworld:
Palworld itself is a questionable game, but despite it being pretty much confirmed that they didn't use ATE technology, they do have a lot of blatant theft from other games, independent creators who make Fakemon, and even have a model directly stolen and slightly modified from Game Freak.
The company that made Palworld also has a history of blatant theft, as well as having a game that uses ChatGPT as an actual game mechanic.
Do not purchase or play this developer's games.
Israeli holocaust of Palestine:
This is very blatantly a genocide, and calling it a holocaust is in fact justified. Benjamin Netanyahu is actively being antisemitic by attributing this as a Jewish necessity, and is souring Judaism for people who've already been indoctrinated to be antisemitic.
The Israeli holocaust of Palestine has not only been, well, a fucking genocide, but has also increased both Islamophobia and antisemitic violence globally.
