It's an interesting field of study. There's some stuff written on the image of the "effeminate Bengali babu" - the image of Bengali men at the time as lesser men in response to a western educated class of men who were facing the colour bar.
I think one of the biggest sources of my own despair is not knowing how to get out there and organise things and I think I will remedy this
I must or I will go insane
Repeating "community takes time to build and commit to" under my breath like a insane person while watching the dissociation of relations across space time
I hope that when you meet your maker, if you believe in one, that they will forgive you for your fundamental inhumanity.
In the meantime, eat my shit, piss and hair.
Oh, I rescind that. There's so much there to unpack that you're probably never going to do, so fuck you. Eat my piss and hair.
you are more than happy to retreat into a reactionary, knee jerk bigotry. That's on you. You're a shit human being. I ask again: what the fuck is wrong with you?
Fundamentally fucked vibes when "skill issue" is being used as a snapback to a genocide
How's it working for you? I'm taking a break from it while my mods get patched for 1.5. anom looks Hella good and I really might get it, it just blows that whatever the mods aren't compatible yet.
Random thought but functionally there is not difference between 21 yo me in camp sleeping in my admin attire so I can wake up for first muster at 0800 and me right now. Jesus that's bleak lmao
*not same but a commitment I guess.
Man, I hate this country so much. We are scum for we are more than happy to have abetted the oppression of Palestinians while making empty rhetoric about being a friend to all.
Not to be too reductive and all - soldiers come from society and Israeli society seems already deep on dehumanising Palestinians, but do we really have the same commitment to preventing and punishing war crimes? Does this institutional heritage factor into it?
Is it a good thing that the saf is formed with idf trainers after 1967? Singapore touts this as this "moment" in our national history, the scum that we are, and we should try and come to terms with this question as honestly as we can (given how every 3 months conscription happens)
It's been interesting to watch the reputation of the IDF degrade in real time even though, in reality, not all that much has changed over 75 years. If you spend more than half a century acting as a glorified gendarmerie which enforces apartheid onto 5,000,000+ people, you are naught but a militia.
@renesrot.bsky.social as you've been telling me about language and stuff
a colleague once told me that all writing is social. language makes meaning, sure; it also ferries connection. being understood, locating the syntax of someone else's experience--this is how we live as human creatures. how do you hold that in contempt?
Boo you can't start a song with "Misty" and nice jazz harmonies and then shift into pop without jazz harmonies
How do you approach planning tattoos? I have two and I'm not sure how I want to be planning more
I'm too tired and overstimmed and I want to be left alone but I also want some company to make me feel less feral and all that is currently out of my reach
Oh I found out why I'm so stressed today and that's bc I've slept badly for the last two days lol
Lol of course I'm angry about the genocide in gaza what am I supposed to be just talking shop about it like "oh it's bad hor haha " like fuck man
Are an ethnic group incapable of managing their own affairs and in need of state intervention for their protection, well being and advancement"
Losing my fucking mind rn
"The status of the orang asli under the Malaysian constitution must be distinguished from that of Malays and Sabah/sawarak natives as there are no mandatory Constitutional provisions for their protection. Rather the constitutional provisions... Suggest that the orang asli-
Lisa lowe you are very cool and your book is very cool but reading the intro makes my brain overheat
I think I saw there were 7 people the coast guard was trying to make sure were safe
Every time the word reckoning pops up I think of dwarfs from Warhammer fantasy
