(Some) ignorant leftbros: "Class first! No idpol!"

Scholars of right wing politics/economics: "All these right-wing thinkers are much more comfortable thinking about the blurred lines between sexual and economic politics than many thinkers on the left. And they understand that Keynesianism rests on a certain kind of sexual contract. Any challenge to this order—whether it be an escalation of wage or benefit claims, or the flight from sexual normativity, or unmarried women claiming welfare benefits—disrupts the fiscal and monetary calculus on which Keynesianism rests."

Above remark from "The Extravagances of Neoliberalism", an interview of Melinda Cooper (author of "Counterrevolution: Extravagance and Austerity in Public Finance") by Benjamin Kunkel, in The Baffler.

@SallyStrange @bookstodon I always feel that those on the Left who wish to reduce everything to class to the exclusion of all else care more for what is usually a very superficial dogma than manifesting actual change

Without recognition and due value for the experiences of different communities, there can be no intersectionality and without intersectionality there will be no change. As you say, the Right gets this only too well

Evening All! 😊

Back from a looooong 13-mile+ walk that included a 1100ft increase in elevation. A few pics to share. First a panoramic view of a horseshoe shaped valley that probably involved something like a 150⁰ pan

A couple of pretty spots passed on the way to the viewpoint. Can anyone save me the trouble of identifying these purple flowers? I saw them safe from human hand, tucked into the rocky opposite side of the canal, in a shaded spot #Cymru #Wales #photography

Lush, shaded, narrow portion of canal, beyond point where barges can travel, desnely banked with overhanging ferns on each side. Shade by woodland all around. Canal path curving to left. Good eyes will spot a small black bird flying away, low over the canal waters, in midfield
Broad view of skyline above high hills and heathland. White clouds mostly obscuring a little blue sky
Broad view of skyline above high hills and heathland. Green valley between separated into fields by hedgerows and lines of trees. White clouds but bright sky

Another part of the bible that Christians selectively ignore..

Their own mythology clearly states that God created (hu)man as non-binary with they/them pronouns. None of that unbelievable Adam's rib lark that came later

@fkamiah17 Can't blame them. Despite the hype, I found it dull as ditchwater when I, as a non-believer, decided to give it a go. It's almost like 2000 years of stuffy old men extracted its soul. Only hypocrites and the indoctrinated would claim it as their inspiration these days

@Greenseer@toot.wales avatar

Good turnout for #Palestine demanding a #Ceasefire_Now , in our little town this morning 🇵🇸

#Wales #Cymru

Circle of perhaps 2 dozen people attending protest for Palestine and Gaza. Many holding banners demanding ceasefire now. Palestine and Pride flags
Protest in small town square before WWI war memorial. Prominent red banner in centre field calling for peace, love and life for Palestine, with white dove symbols
Similar image to last, Palestine flag visible also

Morning All!

So, I hear Switzerland won, but Ukraine and Israel won the public vote in #Eurovision thus supporting my view that most people harbour at least one unforgivably awful and ignorant opinion that, were I to know it, would make me go right off them 😡

Most European countries are looking at least as fucked up as the UK these days

Greenseer,
@Greenseer@toot.wales avatar

@fkamiah17 Yeah, anyone who watched it is a moral vacuum. I don't much care who follows me till I learn of their views, but if those who did watch it knew what I thought of them, they would probably give me a miss

Just took a spontaneous, solitary, 3-mile evening walk along a country road to the top of a hill with a view 😊

An unlit country road, deep in the shadow of dusk, a leafy tree to the right, hills in the distance, deep blue sky with dying light of the day

I noticed this film popped up in my recommended list on YT. Seems to be about #RishiSunak's experience of puberty as a young Tory

I think I'll give it a miss 😳

Morning All! Everyone feeling nicely proton fluxed this fine day? 💕

OMG! Did someone mention ? Photos taken just this evening amid the largest geomagnetic storm for two decades. Long exposure, but all visible to the naked eye also, including the colours

With thanks to @timberwraith for letting me know it was happening. Two hours ago I was heading for bed. Once in a lifetime opportunity. So glad I didn't miss it. Thank you! 🙏🏼

PS. Today, I fiddled with the exposure and contrast of the pics I posted last night and updated these images as post-edits. The reason was that, today, in the daylight, I realised that I had originally posted them from my dimly lit living room, straight after spending 2 hours out in the darkness. My eyes were very accommodated to the dark and saw the images as much brighter than they were

Greenseer,
@Greenseer@toot.wales avatar

@fkamiah17 Aww, lovely! I look forward to seeing them 🌸🏵🌼🌹
