The crisis of the last year with student protests has made even the richest institutions aware of how much of their presumed wealth can be yanked away from them by a donor class who are increasingly inclined to exert their influence and authority in openly oligarchic ways. The obsession with safety—and the contradictions of that obsession—is as much about financial management as anything else. But that also is a wider sociocultural formation: the American upper middle-class is generally an asset class now who think about safety in the same way as universities both because all institutions with asset-based wealth have to and because they personally have to safeguard their assets in the same fashion, and face some of the same risks from liability exposure. [. . .]
Moving away from the caretaker era can’t just be a matter of exposing students to risk and dismantling systems that make safety the mandatory product of an intrusive regime of surveillance and correction. If the people in charge inside the university and outside of it aren’t equally exposed to the natural consequences of their actions and decisions, all this means is forcefully communicating to students—or perhaps all young people—their relative powerlessness and vulnerability. It means deciding that the lesson you really want to teach is that it’s bad to be powerless and thus you should strive in life for power and wealth in order to be beyond consequences. Arguably, if the caretaker era and the bystander era were both aligned with a wider social ideology that was broadly shared across a generation, then this in fact the new ethos of our time—that there is no safety but in power, and that where power believes people are not being sufficiently punished for the things that power disdains, it will find a way to make consequences where there have been none.
bleak essay that nonetheless collects a lot of idle thoughts i've had in one place & puts them together with more coherence than i've ever managed

Stupid little rant about gyms & sexism under the cut bc I already loathe and despise gym culture but I just found out some gyms have dress codes?? haha wtf ahahah yikes ahah
We know you’re WORKING OUT you’re going to be HOT and SWEATY but DO NOT expose your shoulders chest or thighs!!!! How dare you have a body >:( so inappropriate >:(
they don’t want to “encourage comparison or competition”
Like. My shoulders are so sexy Sharon is gonna break her arms trying to get on my level?? Or just have her feelings hurt, and we don’t condone hurt feelings at this gym?? Or??? What??
Let’s be fucking real and call this what it is. If your ignorant ass is offended and uncomfortable because of my stupid fucking girl shoulders then I’m offended and uncomfortable because you exist in the first place fucking grow up :) shoulders will not hurt you :) thighs will not corrupt your children :) exposed female skin will not poison the water supply :) girls have bodies :) fat bodies and average bodies and skinny bodies :) it’s literally fine :)

apparently my freebooted spotify app/desktop decided i am not actually in netherlands so i can't access it.
well. deleting the acc and will try again in 7 days.
thing with using a somewhat-custom proxy... you don't particularly get a similar ip every time. so the region-locking shits keep acting up. and i created the acc on the free vpn which worked better with that setting, but my proxy doesn't give me a choice.
in general: fuck my life, this is an another addition to a horrible miserable day i am already having, i will find a way to scam you out of a premium account because you gave me no choice otherwise for your service <3

genuinely cannot comprehend the mental math required to see a "jews for palestine" sticker and decide to stick a "remember antisemitism doesn't help palestinians" sticker over it. do you know what irony is. anyway go donate to fundsforgaza.

I keep getting a pro-gun political ad for a 'local' right-wing politician on here, and I keep reporting it. This is where I post about the idea of our utopic space future where children aren't regularly endangered/gunned down because of greedy politicians and political machinations
We could move towards that now, and therefore pro-gun ads are both malicious and offensive

I think tiktokers should start a new trend. I call it the "buy esims for Gaza until you're broke" challenge. Cause you should, and you may think you're broke cause your bank account is empty, but you'll never be or feel as broken as Palestinians do and are right now

So I'm looking into actually pursuing a bisalp. 👀 I found a few doctors around me from that list and I bookmarked them, and I looked up the CPT code for the procedure and then searched that on my insurance's website to get an idea of the cost (the one I keep seeing is 58661 for anyone who might find that info useful). I can't tell if I'll have a copay or not - I think it might be 100% covered since it's preventive care. I can't tell if this "admission copay" I'm seeing still applies or not though; if it does I'll just pay $250 max. That's it and then I'd be set forever. 😳
I just tried to call my insurance to confirm what my responsibility would be but the call got dropped and I was annoyed about that so I haven't called back yet. But I after I confirm the cost, I'm going to call one of my saved doctors and ask about getting this going..... 🤯🤩 I'm sure I'll need to set up an appointment first just for discussion, but it'd still be getting the ball rolling.
Also I've recently subscribed to the sterilization subreddit, which is mostly afab people (but there's also info for amab). It's just interesting to read through people's experiences and questions for now. Overall seems like a minor arthroscopic procedure that's fairly quick to heal from!
