This is a very interesting topic as I often try to figure out how to show up in the workplace. Like what are the boundaries, and which ones can I push? What is the context of these environments? Why do I feel like I don't belong and why I'm not sure if I ever would?
I've been loving how content creators have been questioning our roles as audience members and members of society in internet culture and how we need to be more responsible to each other.
This video makes me think about how leftist content creators have pointed out how the right has these huge corporations and media empires to back them and finance them and the left doesn't have the same infrastructure. Which has had me reconsider how I spend my money. A bit before the election, I had started to subscribe to some patreon channels. Trisha Paytas and Cancelled. LOL. I was entertained. But after the election, it was like this immediate snap in me. I didn't need to be spending my money on Trisha Paytas and Cancelled. I haven't watched a piece of content from either of those channels since. I weirdly snapped into disillusionment when it came to those content creators. I just felt like they didn't really give a fuck and that they were going to keep living their lives the same way. It wasn't a hard decision. It was like a snap and change in my interests. I just had no more interest in investing in those channels. And since I was already doing patreon, I just redirected the same amount of money that I was spending to channels that were more liberation focused LOL. There are a lot of great leftist content creators that don't have the same financial backing as the right, so I think that directly supporting creators is a way to combat that. Right now, I have patreon subscriptions to elliot sang, herby revolus, khadija mbowe, matt bernstein, shanspeare and triangle mutual aid. And like, I def don't consume any of the pateron content. It's an overwhelming amount of content to me lol and I don't have a parasocial relationship with any of these creators, I just have seen some of their videos and continue to watch their content and I do consider what I learn from their content to be invaluable. I really love learning about the things they cover and I think supporting modern day theorists to be so important.
It's just good to watch some good anti-fundie content to keep you grounded.
Really enjoyed this video because I feel like I've always had this weird relationship with race and how people perceive me-- being mixed. I think I'm pretty racially ambiguous and I don't think we live in a society that is well equipped or has the language to really be understood well or whatever. Idk it's confusing. But I liked this video and this conversation and it excited me.
yay men being accountable and calling out men and addressing the misogyny within.
This has been a good and comforting watch. I think I need to look more into this. I deeply connect to how stressful and stuff to gain disfigurement and to have it be random and to have it affect my sense of visual identity. I really really struggled with it during my last chronic hives flare up. I felt so ugly and embarrassed when my face would swell up and it would stress me out because I didn't know what I would look like every day. I didn't realize that missing the consistency was part of the stress. There were days that I felt like I looked like a different person. And well, I felt like that different person was ugly. And then I would feel bad about feeling like this different person was ugly.
