did not foresee moby dick being my favourite book read of 2025 but am already calling it.

Um, here is the original UK version of the text, which omitted the affectionate leg throwing and sociability/easy togetherness. This censorship to me suggests it was not the norm & that this is queer even w/in its contemporary social context, no?

It’s been jarring, delightfully so, to stumble upon passages which I’ve seen quoted or devoid of context, in this book: “It is not down in any map; true places never are.”

What I long to know is if this was just a typical way for men to relate to each other in this time???

bring back men saying shit like "[He] was in the hardy winter of a healthy old age; that sort of old age which seems merging into a second flowering youth, for among all the fissures of his wrinkles, there shone certain mild gleams of a newly developing bloom," about other men 🙏

So lke, how do we build power, lol. The eternal question, right?

submitted 17 days ago • 1 comment

1. The right tends to hold more power already, & building more power is easy when you already hold power because of class & social location. 2. The right appeals to ideologies that already underpin our status quo social relations.

was also deeply unprepared for how gay moby dick is. also, have only just now read Melville's letters to Hawthorne. (lord, if anyone ever loves me like melville loved Hawthorne??? that'd be like touching heaven?? would be like being god?? would be like cosmic birth???)

The most shocking revelations: 1) Google fired employees for simply interacting with the protesters 2) The protesters were put on administrative leave midday so Google could revoke their security badges/access to server, which made it possible to claim they were trespassing.

The myth of universities being a bastion of liberalism is something conservatives are perpetuating so that they can attack universities with anti-intellectualism, when the actual tea is that universities collude with fascism to suppress dissent & conservatism is deeply entrenched in them.
