Academic by night, comrade by day. They/them.
There's a new building near me that promises to basically treat you like a child as a feature on its website. They change your sheets and bathroom soap for you, and have a hall monitor. $1900/mo to share a closet with two other people. It hasn't actually opened yet, even though it was supposed to two months ago, lol. The building doesn't even have a sidewalk yet, just gravel pits.
Looking for an apartment is bullshit. "Hey someone please let me give you money to rent back some of my ancestors' land that your ancestors stole" "No sorry we tore down all the cheap housing to build luxury buildings for google and uber. They're sitting empty bc the tech boom that was promised never happened, but fuck you anyway, you still can't live here"

Apartment hunting is fun. Saw a place today that was basically a literal deathtrap, and they wanted more than my current rent for it.
@ghostcommie thankfully left that a few years ago, but it lasted for a long ass time. Pretty sure it's a similar feeling that makes most of my family drink/use.
@willangelus iZombie will extremely exceed whatever expectations you might have based on its name.

@Insurgente_Zero Internal criticism is super important. Especially since half the time I see public callouts based on incorrect shit, without giving people the chance to defend themselves or give context, or without the chance to school the caller on the Imperialist lies they were told that they're basing your judgement on (look at you everyone who wants to shit on Cuba, DRPK, Venezuela, etc!)
On the topic of left unity, it should be a priority to gather with as many comrades as we can. Imperialism certainly won't be brought down by sectarian social media cliques, it will be brought down by the people in resistance. The task of organizing rests upon all of us. We can maintain internal criticism among leftists while maintaining our solidarity (unity, struggle, unity) without condemning each other.
If we can't uphold unity, then we fail the task of organization. The reactionaries win.
