I spoke about how lately I've been having dreams where I'm a member by marriage of the Swedish or British royal families. I just woke from a dream where I was married to Lord John Grey, an aristocrat from the Outlander series. It was a lavender marriage as he's gay and I'm ace.

In this dream it as Christmas and we were planning to buy presents for his aristocratic friends and family. There were lots of old and middle aged women to buy for. I'd thought we were going to get them each a box of fancy chocolates or something, but they turned up and started demanding we buy them very expensive presents.

They stayed the night and one unpleasant old woman who clearly thought I wasn't good enough for John, liked the very expensive bed in her room and demanded that we buy her one just like it for Christmas. John agreed. I thought she was extremely spoilt, rude and entitled.

Why do I keep having these dreams?

I'm at the beginning of How Degrowth Will Save The World, and the introduction's epigraph is,

My heart is moved by all I cannot save. So much has been destroyed. I have cast my lot with those, who, age after age, perversely, with no extraordinary power, reconstitute the world

Those words are currently sitting in my stomach like a lead brick.

Not a terrible way to spend my day off.

The premise is really fucking stupid.

I called out "sick" from work today and decided to get high and have a few beers and watch some slop. The Gorge was perfect slop, it was really dumb and silly but I still had a good time watching it. If we're going to be eating slop we might as well have some fun slop.

Anyway I think I'm going to get more high and drunk and watch some other slop movies, any suggestions?

I often take night shift walks when the foreman's not around, I turn my back on the cooling stacks and make for open ground.

“I don’t know what they said, but it was probably really cool/funny/smart/sexy.”

I took some dirt from a nearby construction site and made one of those Japanese mud balls. It came out kind of mottled and with some irregularities that I'm sure could have been avoided with actual skill. Still, it came out much shinier and better than I expected. It's cool that you can make something like this out of dirt and now I have something to occupy my hands whenever I want because it can always use one more round of polishing.

And the plot is he fucks up the first murder so bad he gets caught immediately, like the cops find his wallet at the scene of the crime.

Then he takes to detectives to a field with a box and one looks in and is like: "Who's head is this?"

"It's your wife's! Cuz you see I am the embodiment of envy..."

"My wife's Hispanic, I don't know who this is."

"What?"

"Actually, I'm pretty sure this is the lady who lives across the hall from us in our apartment building."

"FUCK!"

Didn't read any more than that. Hoping the agreement was that Milei would be Netanyahu's Kaishakunin because watching him botch that would be hilarious.

Seen today at a sand art festival.

Welcome to our Friday ritual! I want to hear about all the bullshit you had to put up with last week! This week, it was April vacation. It's like a vacation for me, but I still have to show up to work!

I cant remember how it even came up, and it doesn't fucking matter, but I told my partner about some shit i went through a while back and she said "yeah dude you gotremovedd."

I knew that what happened was definitely SA, but I dunno. Hearing it put that bluntly from someone who knows me and someone that I love just kinda hits different. They have gone through much worse things than I, so like...I dont even fucking know what to say here.

I've emailed my therapist but its like 10pm here, so just kinda word vomiting. I feel like I need to talk about what happene, I feel like maybe I should be angry, I feel like I should be spewing details. But this was a long time ago. I went along with it. The worst fucking thing is that like a month before I met my partner, I went crawling back to this person for sex. I'm not like....crying or angry right now, but I feel like I need to just fuckin spew out words about it.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

three episodes of UTI/cystitis symptoms, but bloodwork came up clear and she's not got signs of a urinary blockage, and has been doing hairball-y vomits every day or so.

It just sucks. Sure there's nothing coming up so far, but she's just not right and making her go in and out of the vets is a lot of stress on her, and gf is getting so stressed that she may be imminently dying.

We're booking her to the vets next week to get an xray. We could know more then or be back at square one. Thank fuck insurance has been happy to pin it all on the same condition.

Seriously the dude sounds like Old Man McGucket and I'll walk up front and see a line out the door while he's telling some random guy about how he "done did there done served in the Union Army when I was just uh uh uh 25 years of age in the Massachusechie 118th Rifle division..."

Charitable foundation? F-35s for the maoists in the Everglades? TV network?

Some of the comrades who saw my posts and comments know where I live, but for those who don't know, I live in one of the worst parts of the Global South.

The country became a US land base right after its founder leader's death, and the current government is speedrunning its collapse. It was always a horrible place to live if you were not one of the ruling class elites (govt officials, landowners, bourgeoisie, and their relatives). And anyone who doesn't fit the “ideal citizen” bill gets brutally oppressed, which is something inherited from the predecessor state. Most of the brilliant minds got murdered because of this politics, and the remaining people became self-centered opportunists.

Combining all these factors, we have got masses who are,
—Protesting the govt and getting brutalized and getting their future ruined (I am one of them),
—Agitators who cry over social media but refuse to help the protesters because either they see themselves as too important or they are justifiably scared of their future,
—Ignorant of the situation because they have seen the previous governments and believe nothing will ever happen,
—Scum of humanity who's profiting off of the decline.

The last two people are, unfortunately, the majority of the people. They have been pushed to those roads by the state and the foreign actors for paving the way for the collapse of the state. Why aren't we educating them? The leftist movements were strong during the 60s and early 70s, but NATO pushed the button, and the state has been cracking down on us like we are a crime syndicate. Btw, the crime rates are at an all-time high because of these factors.

While we are struggling for literal survival, the current govt is selling the country's lands, assets, and even its people. We are dying by natural disasters, drought, unaffordable living standards, murders, drug overdoses, and workplace safety violations; our govt rubs their hands, calculating how to profit off of it. This is literal colonial government behavior, and it consists of dumb village fucks who can't see farther than their noses.

I've tried, comrades; I've really tried for a better future. But with an oppressive regime and its blind followers, that's all I can do. I am tired; I want out, but the West refuses me because I am a “filthy barbarian” while accepting literal baby killers, and AES states are averse to me because I am from the semi-periphery with a comprador government. I feel I am trapped in Purgatory's border with Hell. Not only that, but I don't even feel safe for my life; I might get killed randomly by anything, but I still try to hold on to that strain of hope.

Hello!

Currently it seems like I have organized a small reading group irl, it is my first time doing this so any advice or tips are greatly appreciated. (evil marxist indoctrination) It happened quite spontaneously, so no concrete plan established. Every member has either read or scoured trough the manifesto, so that is good.

Current reading chosen is the Gotha Programme. And I find a problem for new readers in that for full comprehension it would be the best to understand the conditions in which the notes were written. As such I have been searching for exactly that, something short, not too monotonous and sweet for a new person to marxist theory. My current best candidate is the introduction by Korsch: https://www.marxists.org/archive/korsch/1922/gotha.htm

I haven't fully read it myself, so it isn't cemented yet. I would love to see some alternatives or even something better to it. Be it video or short reading. Something that won't scare off a new person to marxism while still not being too sloppy.

Aside from that, I am planning to move onto blackshirts and reds in the future. It seems to be a good candidate for more modern reading. Any questions or advice are appreciated! Thanks!

I know exactly where I was, it was the graveyard with the grave digger. I played the song of storms and I was like "holy shit the graphics are so good!" I keep zooming the camera into the rivers of rainwater flowing in-between the headstones and making Link jump in the water and splash.

Kind of a funny dream, not my usual dreaming about my ex or being back in school.

I have been using this thing wrong for years and thought I should share

Thank you all in advance for any help/feedback you can give I am ready to escape the American century of humiliation.

2 pounds of cooked beans from my pressure cooker but I got a bunch of bean sauce left in the pot now

Me: "Oh, uhhh, sometimes I like to take a bath with a candle and listen to generic 'fantasy tavern' music on my phone and pretend I'm bathing as a fine roadside Inn."

Mom: "...why?"

Me: "I find it relaxing."

Mom: "Hun, maybe I'll try it sometime."
