I’m always like “How would you treat it in any other industry?”
How do you let sex workers know they don’t have to continue to do sex work after the rev without being condescending? How do you tell toothpaste factory workers?
Do what you’d do for the workers in the toothpaste factory. Same with unsafe working conditions. Same with stigma (like with sanitation workers say).
Your lack of class analysis means your radicalism is just liberalism with more wailing and gnashing of teeth.
There are no ugly women, only lazy ones – Helena Rubinstein
I feel like this quote epitomizes liberalism’s attitude towards everything “Born with a disadvantage? Work ten times as hard and fix it, otherwise you are bad. Also while you’re doing this, we’re narrowing what’s acceptable so you have to run to stay in place, YAY”
What theory I read is heavily influenced by what I can find as an audiobook.
I want to read it, but I don’t want to stop playing scrubby dubby saga on facebook.
Thx.

Thank you! I think it’s important to think about what we want our post revolutionary society to look like, so that we have plans and ideas for after the rev, not just because having plans is important, but having stuff to look forward to is mobilizing and will help motivate people to act.
And turn it into an “oooooh liking stuff is bad” bullshit.
It’s actually just the way that markets divorce items from their use values. Like buying a house you never intend to live in so you can sell it to someone else, or wheat futures you aren’t going to use to sell them on.
Everybody gets a bed seat on long haul flights.
Duty free replaced by places to pick up stuff you might need for your trip but also some places to grab last minute gifts
Screaming pods for people traveling with infants.
Humidifiers or something to deal with the gross drying out effects of air travel
Blimps covered in solar panels
Wine, so much fucking wine.
Power outlets for every fucking seat in the lounge and for every seat on the plane
Flight attendants have the right to make you sit with the baggage if you’re being a shit.
Try to fix the pressurization issues that make infants scream on planes in the first place
We can probably just keep producing every shade and finish and opacity of eyeshadow under the sun, but also we can explain what each one is like and does better like “this is a lightly pigmented shimmer that works for XYZ” “this is really heavily pigmented and is good for ABC”
Lipsticks in every color, liquid mattes in every color, glosses in every color, try to invent a smudgeproof non-drying formula.
Modular brushes for liquid eyeliner formulas.
Skin care and hair care are no woowoo, exclusively scientifically proven ingredients.
Felt tip eyeliners with reservoirs designed not to be exposed to air so they don’t dry out so fricking fast
Everything will be much better organized and it’ll be easier to find a product that does what you want because you won’t have to compare a million different product lines
