queering heterosexuality by starting a podcast with the boys (no homo)

@em okay but it took me a while to realize that apparently NONE of the McElroys are gay

@velexiraptor @em I think academics should be disallowed from using the words "queer" or "queering" for a decade or so while they develop an understanding of those terms

I own a Wikipedia scarf, but holy shit is it easy to see that there are issues with trolls and bigots holding articles hostage on there

"What would be a chill beat to study to? Hm...how about I take this Hoagie Carmichael track, combine it with some Gameboy samples, and slip in a little bit of Marge having a serious conversation with Homer?"

I was listening to a podcast about "Best Years of Our Lives," a movie from the 40s about WWII soldiers returning home from the war, and there was this jazzy piano track up front in the mix while a couple discussed getting a divorce. It sounded like chill beats to study to.

you can't understand Marxism-Leninism unless you understand that it is fundamentally a defensive posture against capitalism: it's the answer that 20th-century communists came up with to the question of "how do you maintain power after a revolution when imperialist powers will inevitably attempt to crush it?"

this is an extremely important question, because they will. How can you maintain any gains the left makes, when reactionary forces will inevitably attempt to roll them back, with all of the power of international capitalism behind them?

I notice a lot of critiques of Leninism from other leftists that tend to assume that it is the answer to a different question, which is the question that anarchism is often better poised to answer: "what does the ideal society look like, and how can I help us get there?"

It's the real life equivalent of people complaining about highly specific things on social media because they've curated their experience so narrowly.

"Everyone on Tumblr is always posting porn!"

Uh...you follow nothing but porn accounts?
