  • I’ve been following a TikToker who’s well read and is constantly arguing this. His position essentially boils down to race being the primary contradiction, not class. And his anti-Marx stance seems to boil down to the need to de-center white thinkers and that the adoption of Marx doesn’t by revolutionaries of color doesn’t inherently make Marxism an anticolonial ideology. It’s hard to have high quality discussion with him unfortunately because white leftists are constantly making asses of themselves in his lives.











  • I like the term “twice exceptional”. All of my biggest strengths are aspects of myself that come with tradeoffs. For 20 years straight, I was praised for the strengths and scolded for the tradeoffs. Motherfucker, you can’t enjoy how quickly I learn things I’m interested in and also treat me like I’m lazy when you expect me to sustain equal amounts of interest in 10 different things that bore me and I fail. You can’t enjoy all the art and tech I make and then get annoyed when it’s difficult to break me out of a hyperfixation.

    I firmly believe that the tortured artist stereotype is bullshit. There’s nothing about being an artist that requires you to be miserable. But we sure do treat people like shit when their brains work differently.
