He Is Father

depressing af

not a book i would like to read as a depressive pessimist (who used trying to be an optimist)

the subject this book is discussing is troubling and concerning and fearsome, but damn, bates is such a debbie downer. if her goal is to make people feel helpless and hopeless, she’s succeeding.

When we build bonds and societies that are less isolated, capital is undermined; a communal home is more self-sustaining. Where several people are caregivers for a child, less money is spent towards childcare companies.

another only, i see. man i’m already to’ed ahahaha

first chapter down and it is pretty interesting. but I have seen 2~3 misspellings/typos in just the first chapter, and considering this is a short book, it is kinda disheartening

To reject these claims is easy; what’s more interesting is to look at what the existence of this obsession says about our society today. If we look at sex robots from non-capitalist or non-heteronormative lenses … we can begin to see how they attempt to entrench dying systems, prompt political regression, and stop us from considering what else we might be working towards.

Eating as Language: possibly my favorite chapter so far.

This [Tagalog] is not a maze; this is precision. This is not ambiguity; this is language at its peak of exactness.
