Musk, Thiel and the shadow of apartheid South Africa
The parallels between South Africa then and the US today are striking
i think this is pretty much right. not a shock that the political economy of apartheid south africa produced a bunch of reactionaries who hope to replicate that political economy for the 21st century www.ft.com/content/cfbf...

My sibling has a friend here who lets her pick fruit from trees in her backyard so we went and one of the varieties of mulberries we picked was just divine! The lady who’s Persian says this variety of mulberries grows to be much longer in Iran

I am saying this because I am now in a household that exclusively has like five vegetables and nothing else because eggs sound fantastic right now instead of mushroom porridge

Eggs and kale actually go pretty well together and are an alright way of sneaking vegetables into your breakfast if you’re like me and really want to eat more vegetables but have the unrefined palate of a five yr old. Put in a little bit of gruyere maybe some onion and you are living like a king

Instagram loves to show me Brazilian pastry and cake making. Before it showed me Turkish pastry makers so I’m not sure what the algorithm thinks my nationality is or what informs that

It would be so random if I met the love of my life on this little Australian sojourn. That would be sooo random

No DMs also sucks. This place is literally anti gossip, anti bitching to your besties, anti confessing undying love to longtime mutuals, anti girl, anti fun…

I wish this place had circles not because I need to spill hot gossip to my buddies but because I want to post pictures of the sky from my run without jeopardizing my safety… clouds in Los Angeles post-rain are the prettiest ever

I feel sad that nazis ran me off of Twitter bc I met so many cool people on that app before musk systematically ran it into the ground and made it pretty damn near unusable for Jewish people w public facing accounts (and any marginalized group I’m just speaking from experience of recent targeting)
