i reject all philosophies that subordinate the “body” to the “mind”, or which treat the body as some kind of prison for the soul. certain ancient greek belief systems, pauline doctrine, ascetic early church & desert fathers, saints in the middle ages, puritanism, rationalism, cartesian dualism, and diet culture which is a modern iteration of this tradition.
i hate these modes of belief because of the incalculable human suffering they’ve caused, and because they claim that tension - even agony - is a fundamental characteristic of a subject within their body, where there could as easily be a philosophy of peaceful coexistence among the self, the mind, the spirit, and the body. maybe we can’t know the true nature of these relationships, but the former is certainly not conducive to human flourishing and i’m inclined toward more practical pursuits than rejecting the body which instantiates me.
i cant keep up with tumblr drama because new “popular text post bloggers” appear out of the ether fully fledged with 200k followers and everyone already apparently knows who they are and then 2 days later i see a callout post with information dating back 5 years as if this person didnt just pop into existence earlier in the week
my politics are anti-capitalist, anti-white-supremacy and anti-patriachy. and by extension i'm opposed to homophobia, transphobia, ableism, anti-semitism, anti-ziganism imperialism and zionism because i think the fundamental axes of oppression at this moment in history are capitalism, white supremacy and patriarchy.
i love 20th century art. klimt, kahlo and matisse are my faves.
boys are my only weakness and lady gaga is my problematic fave.
