"this is so good, i'm going to jizz my pants"
"The vocabulary and storytelling techniques used by these firms conjure in equal measure the necessity and inevitability of this revolution. Beyond mythology, the ubiquitous promise of disruption putting an end to the status quo gives licence to sketch a future that is at once fully open and fully closed – open because it is not accountable to current economic realities and its justificatory mandates, and closed because it is rendered as inevitable."

Have an internship in a month as an RA with a prof at SLU. Should I email him asking for literature recommendations so I can familiarise myself with the project? Issue is the university website doesn’t have anything on this project. Or should I just wait till the internship starts. Anyway going to familiarise myself with his work
Will I come across as too eager?

RE: https://mastinsaan.in/@mehluv/116940932451583139
I have been seeing my mom become more progressive and challenging my aunts and pushing them to be more critical of BJP and Islamophobic narratives. But they will not touch the caste-order. Everything else can go but the organisation of society and labour on the basis of caste-class, and brahminical patriarchy is sacred. And this is the biggest crime of this movement; it does not address casteism at all. When Dipke revealed his caste, many people abandoned ship and even subjected him to casteist abuse. I don’t think CJP can afford to be too “political”.
Also, obv, India as an occupying entity - the Israel of South Asia… but that is a test even many Indian communists fail at.
My point is that maybe the CJP will be able to mobilise people and perhaps even restore some semblance of liberal order in a few states here and there… but the rot of caste holding this country together will remain. I genuinely believe that needs to be eradicated by force.

I had forgotten how annoying communists were because all my friends, even if we might not have the exact same tendencies, are very nice and collaborative people 😭. I just saw videos from a beef between two commie "content creators" on IG, and they were soooooo terrifyingly nasty to one another because of disagreements on tendencies. they literally mostly agree on 99% of things. I think if this is the state of leftists when the most power we have is waging beefs online, I shudder to imagine what will happen if we have actual power. Dogmatic leftists who turn rancid upon disagreement are quite terrifying to me.

Why are Indians so obsessed with celebrities? Why does Farah Khan have a show where she goes to random celebrities’ homes and glazes their wealth and mansions? Why do people watch this? How does it not piss them off to see these Bollywood actors with fucking swimming pools in Mumbai? I know this is not limited to India, but in India it takes this strange form where celebrities are not humanised, they are raised to some god like status. I took this for granted for a long time. But I saw my relatives watch that show with Farah Khan and be bowled over by these very vapid, brain dead, at times fash-coded conversations between Bollywood celebs with 1/2 a braincell, speaking with the authority of an expert… and it’s so weird. I think we really need to bring back the guillotine. How is it okay for Ambani’s to have a private zoo and why do people stand outside Shah Rukh Khan’s mansion to just catch a glimpse of him?

Urgent! Any lawyers here? My friend is being extorted her bank and needs help. She is in a village UP. Her family is not formally educated and the took a loan and are accruing fines and defaulting. I will be fundraising for the repayment but the problem is the bank is not giving her original loan documents or agreements, are asking her to pay random “fines” without receipts and made her father sign a blank form. Need someone to help her get the og documents back so we can figure this out.
India is so anti-poor, i swear to fucking God.

Conclusions: We report strong evidence of familial clustering of sexual offending, primarily accounted for by genes rather than shared environmental influences. Future research should possibly test the effectiveness of selective prevention efforts for male first-degree relatives of sexually aggressive individuals, and consider familial risk in sexual violence risk assessment.

Friends, especially friends in academia who have to read a lot and constantly, how do you make time and space to properly engage in news and long-form journalism? I have managed to establish somewhat of a consistent morning routine. However I am unable to integrate reading the news or just essays.
One problem I run into, i suppose, is that I take time for reading assigned texts. It takes a lot of energy for me to read, make notes and digest them in a way that I can apply them for my assignments. And by the time I am done with my homework I have no energy to spare for any other form of comprehension.
But I still want to carve out some energy and bandwidth for non-academic reading.

I am reading White Skin, Black Fuel for class. It’s a great book but section one is just facts page after page. Section two is theory, and apparently better. I think social scientists need to structure their books better, especially if these books are intended as calls to action.

This book I am currently reading: The Specter of Materialism: Queer Theory and Marxism in the Age of the Beijing Consensus by Petrus Liu, is poorly edited but so insightful.
I am just on the first chapter, and it is a little jargon-heavy, but what I understand from it so far is that queer theory as it has developed has not been able to incorporate materialist analyses. Not only that but it also has in many ways treated non-cishet communities in the Global South as less developed versions of non-cishet people in the Global North, US to be precise. In its effort to not apply a colonial universalism to queer and trans populations of the third world, it has inadvertently excluded them while positioning certain groups as "authentic local subjects" or as "modernized or inauthentic"
In the next chapters he will be exploring the underdevelopment of the Global South and the rise of China in the world order and it's impact on the queer trans communities in CHina (i think?) super excited!

2025-12-08 14:10:59 UTC

I have been very knee-jerk opposed to the decolonial discourse because of how fash it is in India and honestly doesn't make sense in my context at times. But through constant interaction with my classmates and certain profs, I am starting to understand it's value. I still feel it is theoretically weak if it can be co-opted so easily by fascists but hopefully with constant, good-faith engagement it becomes less so.
Today a guest lecturer explained colonialism in class as a way that reorganised people in the world, and that neocolonialism and other exploitations build off of this reorganisation, and everything suddenly clicked and fell into place in my brain. She was brilliant.
I think I now understand decolonisation as an effort , materially and epistemologically, to undo that hierarchy and dispossession. I know this sounds obvious but it feels like new knowledge to me hehe.
