  • I know a few women that are trans rights activists. Some of them have confided to me that drag queens make them feel ‘icky’. You know because it’s a caricature of women.
    I’m just following up because I feel like you’ve been unfairly dog piled on because you also find drag ‘icky’.
    I think it’s a little unfair, and we have a society that’s not even close to a conversation about why that borders inappropriate.
    I didn’t see anything you said that was really unreasonable.

    As far as the trans conversation goes, I think we’re in the same boat as well. I don’t get it, but they deserve my respect, so I take what they say at face value, and until some kind of evidence comes by that refutes their experience, I’ll continue to lend support where I can.





  • I appreciate that.
    The internet in general is pretty negative. Something you said earlier reminded me of a quote that stuck with me. I can’t remember who said it but ‘the future is built on the present. What are you building today?’
    It’s easy to complain, it’s probably my favorite hobby, but what can we do to smash capitalism? Personally, I think it’s co-ops. Worker co-ops. Housing co-ops. Service co-ops. Let’s shed our corporate overlords and build something for eachother.
    What are you doing? What do you think we should be moving towards?


  • There’s been a push for this in a lot of the media I consume. Usually they push the solar punk aesthetic as something to work towards.

    Last year I started a worker co-op that works at assisting not for profit housing. I pay my bills, but I’m the only one working full-time so far. I’ve also been working on having perennial plant food growing in my neighborhood. I’ve planted fruit trees and other varieties of fruits and vegetables that grow without much care.

    What do you do?
