walfieMy brother bought a new really expensive drawing tablet and gave me his old one so I tried my hand at drawing again. Coloring is much nicer to do digitally I guess.
Secondly anger at every centrist, like I was, that thinks themselves somehow more principled than others because they won't ever think about resorting to violence, it's easy enough to maintain a principled stance like that when you are never threatened.
dunno if this is well-trodden territory or im just talking out of my ass but lol
Compare that to what a minority might experience, pacifism has real consequence to them. They are the kind of people nazis want to see wiped off this planet, they are the people that suffer from police brutality. Taking a non-violent stance has actual consequence for them.
Thinking about that, firstly made me all the more impressed by historical figures like MLK, and how principled a man he must have been to abide by non-violence despite the injustices he suffered.
I saw a couple people talking about pacifism on my feed and I wanted to share something.
I was a "pacifist" in my teenage years but recently as I became more politicized a thought struck me that pacifism is a form of privilege.
As a white, male, straight kid (before I got the whole trans thing going on) I can't say that my pacifism was a principled stance, at that point no one had ever threatened me in any way.
Oedipa MaasLand ownership is so bizarre & awful when I think about it. What is "land" in this construction, exactly? We interact with it as if it's a flat plat map, not an assemblage of other living beings. I hate that people think all those creatures are ours to "own" in the first place. Our relationship to land & to other life has been so profoundly warped by capitalism, settler colonialism, & chattel slavery, I despair that we'll ever recover.
On the face of a man, whiskers grow,
Along the maddening familiar curves
of a face seemingly never shorn
Though it had been shaved just
a few moons ago.
But whiskers grow, whiskers grown
on the face of a man, growing
madder with each hair anew
How could it have her been chosen
to face alone such facetious curses?
Whiskers grown, whiskers grown,
A man defeated asks god what's
the point, god laughs and sings
along:
Whiskers grow, whiskers grow.

Playing KoF while watching a youtube video about cartoons and what a wild way to realize Johnny Bravo and Benimaru are twin brothers
