On disability, ableism, and how slurs work

Tumblr’s @aylonit [now @disabilitiez]From a physically disabled, wheelchair user: stop using the word “crippled” to describe your experience with anxiety, depression, etc “I have crippling anxiety” “i have crippling depression” “the stress from it all is crippling” you are using a slur. You are disrespecting every physical disabled person. Just use “disabling”. Why are slurs […]

Anticommunism and antiblackness in the United States

Dr. CBS [Charisse Burden-Stelly] @blackleftafThe interconnection of anticommunism and antiblackness is not about whether Black people like or dislike communism, but rather how anticommunism is a powerful technology of repression used to uphold white supremacy and Black subjection and, of course, racial capitalism.Dec. 9, 2020 In the power centers of the United States, specifically, it’s […]

“Employees should be able to steal, actually”

Tumblr @feywildwestemployees should be allowed to steal, actually idk. yesterday was a slow day and at the end of it, I still stared into a cash drawer, one of three, that had more than my rent in it, even if you only count the 20s. I spent a lot of that day trying to calculate […]

Tumblr @feywildwest employees should be allowed to steal, actually @feywildwest idk. yesterday was a slow day and at the end of it, I still stared into a cash drawer, one of three, that had more than my rent in it, even if you only count the 20s. I spent a lot of that day trying to calculate in my head how many hours of work equal one pair of pants, let alone how many hours of work equals the fun thing I want to do next month. I feel a cough coming on, because I work in a drug store, and all of my customers are sick. I always feel a little bit sick, now. I can't afford to eat well enough to keep my body healthy. Cough medicine is worth two hours and 20 minutes of work. Our store probably bought a case of cough medicine for they price we're selling one box. If this cough gets worse, I might have to call out, which will cost me more than the medicine in the long run- but that doesn't give me the money to buy the medicine right now. I stock a case onto the shelf. I don't buy any. A mom wrangling three crying, sick kids enters my line and sets two types of children's medicine down, says they're both on sale and thank god for that. I ring her up, and she gets very quiet, because she misread the sign, and her total is twice as high as she was expecting. Her youngest screams in the cart, because she's burning up with fever. Her mother very quietly asks, please, she's so sorry, if I could please take the more expensive one off her total. I agree, I move the box below the counter, and when she's not looking, I slip it into her bag. I pray as hard as I can that if she notices the "mistake" she says nothing, because I so desperately want her to have that medicine. The store has lost profit at the cost of a child's health. I don't bat an eye. This is a terminable offense. If I'm presented with the same situation tonight, I'll do it in a heartbeat. The myth of evil employees stealing from the company falls apart the second you realize the company would shoot you dead to make a profit. This isn't two equal players, one of whom is stealing from the other. This is someone fighting for survival versus someone fighting to make an extra million. It's not equal. Employees should be able to steal, actually.

Old Satanist yells at cloud

Reaction to Mitch Horowitz’s “Good, Clean Satanism,” a review of Anton LaVey’s “The Devil’s Notebook” It’s interesting that Mitch Horowitz found The Devil’s Notebook to be inspiring when it, along with Satan Speaks show Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey at his most obvious crankiness. A short version of late-stage LaVey can be be summed up […]

Animals as allegory

Zootopia has the common fallacy of animal allegory fiction that altho its message is one thing (“racism/misogyny are bad”) everything else about the universe runs contrary to that because there actually are essentialist differences between animal species. Something you notice about Robin Hood is that, for the most part, there’s no rhyme or reason to […]

Hating religion is not a substitute for a personality

This is a non-theistic space, not an anti-theist space. We don’t talk about negatively about “religion” because the problems we have with particular religions are not located in their beliefs in the supernatural or their rituals. We oppose harmful superstitions, like gender essentialism and white supremacy, beliefs that people believe in and act on to […]

What if Satanists didn’t try to make it all about us?

Should statues to slavers be torn down and broken? Absolutely. Does putting Satanic imagery in their place contribute any reparative justice? Don’t see how. The white Christians will bring up bonkers shit to avoid grappling with Christian white supremacy; you don’t have to take the bait. Yes, the white conservative Christians are bigots who will […]
