here’s the thing: everyone complains about late capitalism and how alienated and isolated we all are. everyone acknowledges this, and reassures each other of this, alone.
you need to get out of yourself, and your head, and your small bubble of one, and you need to go see old friends, or former friends, or people in your social circle who are just meh, or your annoying roommates, or your co-workers, or your former co-workers, or your lame family members, or your lame and bigoted family members, or strangers at a bar, or whomever, and party. meeting people is praxis, strengthening relationships is praxis, making yourself seen and vulnerable to another is praxis. please, guys, go out.
this, here, now, is a facsimile, mediated through a thousand screens. go kiss, go get kissed, go reject a kiss, go be denied a kiss. go out.

just want to say thanks for this. I’ve been trying to get through a bunch of mental hurdles this past year, including social anxiety, but in the last few months I have been immersed in work and kind of neglected all that. I have a bunch of family I rarely see over for new years, and I kind of lost sight of making the most of it because of some stupid deadline.
This site went from struggling about cats being outside to struggling about oneself being outside
genuinely suprised at the reaction to this post
obviously capitalist alienation isn’t our faults individually and is a societal problem and we shouldn’t be irresponsible about covid but you all are proving their point in a way jesus christ
“Put yourself ar risk because I think it will help communism”
no because it will help you
