I am back in a very precarious situation now with an 8 year old and a baby and am so much sicker and more disabled than I was before.

I have a comradery which is like a cooperative alternative to patreon where, if you have the means and feel like you've gotten value out of my writing, you can make a monthly pledge. I also have ko-fi, Venmo, and PayPal if you want to make a one time donation. You can find all of the links here:

Also would so appreciate boosts, of this post and/or writing of mine you've gotten value out of so others might feel called to pledge or support if they find it valuable too 💖

I finished reading "The No-State Solution A Jewish Manifesto" by Daniel Boyarin.

I know it is a good book, because it has prompted me to start reading from a scholar that helped inspire Daniel's modes of thought named Gil Anidjar. The kind of book that makes you want to read every extended footnote. I think my next read from Anidjar will either be "The Jew, The Arab: A History of the Enemy" or "Blood: A Critique of Christianity". Maybe even both, but they seem kinda lengthy.

Too late for #Caturday, but please adopt pets, they all deserve to have a good life and you can make a huge change when you adopt.

I know people usually want kittens, but please, read what I've said in my previous post before making a decision. You'd make me the happiest person in the world if any of you reconsidered due to this post.

Please adopt and love FIV+ cats like they deserve. Same for old and other disabled pets.

anarchism, and the foreign 

As an anarchist, if your argument is going to amount to "it is bad because it is foreign" am I inclined to believe that your internalized nationalist biases are relabeling a local issue to mark it as evil. Since in a nationalist framework, evil is always foreign, or composed of foreigners. So I am really disappointed when others resort to such shallow analysis, overlooking evil in their own backyard because it casts a shadow elsewhere.

To be clear: I'm not just talking about whatever the media currently considers foreign. I think the word itself as a political tool is only ever going to backfire if we want a world without borders. A world without exoticized and mythologized outsiders causing the problems instead of anything material and actionable. That kind of world is strategically incompatible with a better world to come. It is a world of chasing our own tails. What is foreign and the foreigner except people who will not be separated from us by walls should we get the chance to overturn things? How meaningless is that distinction, then? How nasty and counterproductive is it's connotation? Never worth invoking.

Microsoft are homophobic prudes 

So I’ve been using Microsoft Stream at work to auto-caption videos. Part of my job is quality assurance so I double-check the captions for errors.

One recent annoyance is that the captioning software censors some words, replacing them with asterisks. One word in particular that has been a thorn in my side is the word “nipple”. I have had to work on several BREASTFEEDING videos. Needless to say, I’ve been retyping in the word “nipple” a lot.

Come to today, I’m working on a video about transgender and non-binary folks. The speaker said, “There is no such thing as straight sex and gay sex.” Lo and behold Microsoft in their infinite wisdom decided to censor the words “gay sex”. “Straight sex” is uncensored.

I’m fucking livid, but I have no real way to contact Microsoft on this. But, mark it down and spread the word, Microsoft are fucking homophobic prudes.
