the game has, once again, given me an issue in which people are having difficulty managing stress because they have to juggle life and working multiple jobs. and are complaining that there's no government support

the state....literally provides everything they're asking for already, and then some. do these people just. think they live in a capitalist country or sth??? im so confus. don't they realise there isn't money

reading the phrase "lesbian poetry in a dead language" and just. big it me energy

it'd be nice if there were a way for me to just. talk to people like me, y'know? or at least get to hear what somebody from a similar culture has to say. but the mechanisms of oppression have been designed to isolate us, and the only way for me to come into contact with people of my culture(s) is if i happen to meet them in person. there is no convenient selection of authors who resemble me, or social networks for refugees, or anything like that. i know no one outside my family who's like me

hello yes the number of axes by which various types of power are leveraged to perpetuate the disenfranchisement of marginalised peoples is absolutely staggering and the existence of a Single One of those axes is Absolutely Fucking Inexcusable. if these were systems that just happened to be perpetuating oppression it would be immoral to keep them in place. but these were Deliberately Designed to do this. the fact that they exist At All is unforgivable

anyway im mad about this partly bc it just makes life difficult (i want to read actually good books) but largely because it's a mechanism by which marginalised groups are prevented from being able to voice their experiences and especially share common experiences with one another? and of course the fact that it plays into minorities not being recognised for their incredible contributions to literature throughout history

queer authors who aren't Writing About Being Queer sometimes get on these lists, but they pretty much have to be cis. definitely no enbies

so like....who taf are these recommendation lists even For??? they exclude all the authors of any decent quality
