Growth capitalism is a deranged fantasy for lunatics.
Year 1, your business makes a million dollars in profit. Great start!
Year 2, you make another million. Oh no! Your business is failing because you didn't make more than last year!
Okay, say year 2 you make $2 mil. Now you're profitable!
Then year 3 you make $3 mil. Oh no! Your business is failing! But wait, you made more money than last year right? Sure, but you didn't make ENOUGH more than last year so actually your business is actively tanking! Time to sell off shares and dismantle it for parts! You should have made $4 mil in profit to be profitable, you fool!
If you're not making more money every year by an ever-increasing exponent, the business is failing!
Absolute degenerate LUNACY

Please remember that you do not need to have British accents in your fantasy story. It’s absolutely not necessary

I just need everyone to know that if Edmonton and NY make it to the Stanley Cup finals I WILL be entering my villain era. I WILL be kicking and screaming. I WILL invent time travel and go back to fix this in nefarious ways. I WILL be building a laser that ends the earth.

A lot of the time, when I think about queer theory and queer advancements, about trans identity and trans rights, I think about a quote from John Adams. If you don’t know the quote, it’s the one that starts: “I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.” And within two generations, his grandchildren have the liberty to study porcelain.
Now, there’s a lot of stuff to unpack in the original quote, and I’m not going to do that, because that’s not the point of what I’m talking about tonight.
Every time that I struggle with my own dysphoria, with finding centeredness as someone who couldn’t come out as non-binary until I was in my 30s, after struggling with it for a decade and a half, I think about my daughter.
I think about my daughter who got to come out at 15.
I think about the conversations she gets to have with her peers about gender identity, about sexuality, about the intersection between her autistic identity and her gender identity, between her Jewish identity and her sexuality, & these convos are so far beyond my teen years.
We didn’t have the language to discuss so much of this two, three decades ago. We were doing very different work at the time. And there were things we had to leave behind in order to get to where we are now.
I’m not always sure we made the right decisions, but I studied politics and war so that my daughter may study mathematics and philosophy. She has the language to speak about her experiences in a way I didn’t have at her age. She came out at fifteen.
Sometimes, that’s all I’ve got, and I have to be okay with that.
We still must study war and politics, don’t get me wrong, bc our community is threatened constantly – but it is my hope that the war and politics I studied in this metaphor lets my metaphorical queer descendants have a little more peace than I had in my childhood.
#there are multiple out queer couples in my neighborhood#it would have been unthinkable in my youth#it's incredible
