periodic reminder that there are people #onhere who are allowed to get away racist, colorist, anti-black bullshit because they're insulated from consequences by a group of people who refuse to address their own low-level shitty behaviour while claiming to be anti-racist
who deal with any effort to draw attention to this with handwaving, equivocation, deflection and bullying

fedi/personal meta 1/3
since the turn of the year i was getting progressively turned off by the fediverse
this was in part due to my own worsening mh but also after seeing the same cycles repeated over and over
so many times PV called out bad actors and got slammed, or worse, got dragged into conversations they weren’t even a part of just to get slammed for calling people out
i didn’t know what to do, so i did nothing
and i knew that made me part of the problem, so i slipped into solipsism

intro post
hello! i'm Ciarán/kiki, nonbinary boy living in the northwest of ireland with my wife Mairéad
i've been floating around the fediverse since august 2018, trying to unlearn all my decades of white-cishet-man training
i love music, film, photography - i also love talking about philosophy/social theory but it's a while since i've been deep into reading it
happy to chat and make friends with folk on their own journey to understanding
looking forward to a godforsaken life

intro - communication notes
will block for racist, anti-black, colorist, ableist, transmisic, homomisic, or any prejudiced talk – zero tolerance if you’re called out and refuse to acknowledge/change
i’m an anxious person so unless we interact regularly i’ve probably reworded any message/reply to you at least 5 times
i am not flirty/forward, so if any response potentially reads that way, you can assume it’s not intended that way – also i get really uncomfortable if i feel i’m being flirted with

So im trying to watch this video on youtube about maria lugones' work, and frankly, it's hard to engage with the work.
bc it operates in tow w the erasure of actual lived experience of specific racialized bodies.
the need for ppl w privilege to avoid discussing it, not centering themselves in the discourse & on top of that telling Blk/Indi ppl of color, that they are violent or committing an act of violence towards the privileged members of their communities is a constant tacit.

The worst thing about younger people’s birthdays is that I seem to be the one that gets older

Imagine if we unfucked "art collecting", culturally. Imagine everyone would have a little collection of pieces by friends and family and artists they adore or connected with in their house instead of what "art collecting" means under capitalism. Wouldn't that be beautiful

Sorry to employed people but I won’t be taking part in Buy Nothing Day because discount days are the only way I’ll be able to afford yuletide presents for people this year. Perhaps instead of passively trying to fight capitalism by not buying things and hoarding your money you could actively help people by donating it
