its flabbergasting to me how people on this site will learn about exploation of the global south and just willfully close their eyes to it. every single item i buy i am conscious that someone made it; the fabric, the gouache, the acrylic paint i get. and of course you cant expect an individual to magically fix a global issue, because this issue cannot be resolved in any way except a strong communist revolution. but without even entertaining the mere thought of exploation and humanity of the people of the global south, its impossible to even have that revolutionary spark in your mind or do any actual intellectual and practical work in pursuit of a better world. you keep seeing this as a moral issue; "am i a badwrong terrible person if i buy bananas at the store" instead of a materialistic one. every single material piece you get was made by someone. dont you desire safety and freedom for them too?

i dropped by my favourite secondhand bookstore and found what is possibly the most incredible knitting book iver ever seen. that teaches you how to knit little gardens and sew them into a massive quilt 3d. the photos i took are atrocious and do NOT do this book justice

thats a PRIORY GARDEN WITH MONKS

IT EVEN TEACHES YOU HOW TO MAKE ALL THE TOOLS ABD BASKETS AND POTS AND PLANTS

LOOK AT THE SOME OF THE FOLIAGE

Saw a french bulldog asleep like this the other day

I know I’ve posted about this but I still think about the time I was a dog groomer in the middle of nowhere and that old lady called in and said she had a wolf and we were like whatever and booked her because sooo many people who say they even have wolf crosses actually just have GSD/malamute crosses or whatever so she came in and it was actually a wolf and I was like ma’am idk if I can bathe your wolf actually and she was like I told you it was a wolf and I was like I mean. That’s true you are correct this is on us. However,

guy who needs to send an email so he completely isolates himself from the world misses out on every opportunity curls up in a ball and dies. and like 2 months later sends said email finally

thats the thing thats missing from america-centric discussion of fascism: this shit is global. every country in “the west” is seeing the same rise of fascism in real time, all of it focused on murdering migrants. like giorgia meloni is campaigning to deport people to “migrant camps” in albania. last year the greek coast guard outright drowned a boat of 500 asylum seekers. and as that last post said im not dismissing the suffering of people within the US, i’m just saying its so supremely frustrating that every conversation is about the minutiae of american domestic policy and not the horrifying ultranationalist global trend scapegoating arabs and africans.

my point is you need to be horrified that “border control” is an accepted talking point. you need to be aware of the fact that climate change is currently driving what will become the largest forced movement of people ever as the “third world” becomes uninhabitable. people—specifically people from africa and west asia—are dying in the name of white supremacist “borders” around the world. and whether your european or american when you see this rhetoric manifest in your country you need to push back.

its sometimes hard to know whether you need to say “i’m sorry that happened” or if you can whip out “killing them with my minddddd”
