“Whenever insta celeb or any social-media celeb asks for help or for resources, people jump over each other to help them. But when it’s a regular n*gga asking for help publicly or privately, it’s crickets. Been tryna explain to people for years that almost all ppl of all races only support celebs and microcelebs, that’s a function of social capitalism. And almost all ppl of all races rarely support Black folks who are not platformed in some way. Smdh and to become a microceleb or celeb as a Black person, you gotta extremely antiBlack af =\, like constantly enabling anti-Blackness from nonblack people and other Black folks who like nonBlack ppl too much while basically throwing other Black ppl under the bus for personal gain or remaining silent while their connections are extremely anti-Black to other Black folk. Not them though, they are fine, their nonBlack friends “would never treat me like that!” whites & nonBlack ppl of color become celebs from usually being thin and copying Black people these days. Some whites just become celebs or microcelebs simply because they are white. We are this deep into a pandemic through global anti-Blackness and 9 out of 10 ppl of all races still dont have networks of consistent material support for Black folks who do not have a lot of social capital/clout; it is maddening and saddening.”

Save UC Townhomes

As I was walking to Van Pelt Wednesday night, I saw a familiar sight on College Green. A variety of tents and signs stuck in the ground. I knew that the students trying to save the UC townhomes were back. I talked to one of my friends who is an organizer for Fossil Free Penn and works with the University City residents. She explained to me what they were requesting of Penn and how dire the situation was for the University City residents. The possible demolition of the homes in University City is a perfect example of gentrification. Low-income residents are being driven out of their neighborhoods so that people with more money than they need can make a profit. Last semester and this semester I was amazed by the organization of Penn students and their commitment to make a difference together.

Connecting the protest back to the readings from this week, I thought of Robert Putnam's "Bowling Alone: America’s Declining Social Capital". Putnam described how in the late 90s, Americans were joining less organizations and doing things together less. I believe that the UC townhomes protest is a great example of the strong social capital in West Philadelphia. Learning about social capital in class this week, the word "trust" stood out to me. The residents who are at risk of losing their homes have a lot of trust in the Penn students to work together. They are connected by a common interest - not allowing UC resident's homes to be destroyed.

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

Please stop seeing politics as an identity and start seeing it as a collective means for change

#i am so tired of ppl trying to use 'theres no ethical consumption under capitalism' in regards to BDS #it's not about ethics it's about participating in a political strategy palestinians have spent YEARS promoting as a means for change #some things are in fact not about you #social justice #I/P #social issues #palestine #gaza #free palestine #free gaza #id in alt #overflowing trashcan

I have found the best ally

Straight and cis people will say that they are allies, but you will NEVER measure up to my dentist.

Me: "Hey, is it ok if I can change my name on my info from [DEADNAME] to Sai?"

Random woman that I wasn't even talking to in the chair next to me: "Honey, if that's the name you had at birth, [DEADNAME] is your only name."

My dentist, very slowly turning her rolley chair towards the woman: "Shush."

Random woman: "Excuse me?"

Destist: *closes privacy curtain while staring bullets at the lady*

Me: *pissing myself laughing*

My dentist while changing my name in my info (reminder that English is not her first language, she immigrated from Russia): "There, Sai, you have pretty boy teeth. Smile and make all girls swoon."

Me not having the heart to tell her I'm not transmasc but I'm Agender, and still pissing myself laughing: "Thank you [DENTIST NAME]."

No offence but I feel like some people got a little too comfortable with telling people to touch grass and swung all the way round to just straight up shaming anyone who might have a less active social life than them to feel better about themselves. “She should be at the club” was a really funny meme until people started acting like fucking middle school bullies towards people who don’t go out with their friends a lot. All those drinking/drugs/sex milestone polls were fun to engage with until it became a wierd circlejerk making fun of people who haven’t done those things before. People on twitter are once again dogpiling someone for wanting queer social spaces that don’t revolve around alcohol or loud music and telling them it’s their own fault for not having friends.

Like I get that nightclubs and sex have strong ties to queer culture and are often the first targets in the hellscape of respectability politics. It’s important we remember our roots and protect these spaces from conservative scrutiny. I mean that. They are important. But just on a surface level it seems like people are starting to see having an inactive social life as some kind of moral failing which…it’s not. I feel like an insane person for feeling like I have to say this on the fucking queer autism website but like. You aren’t inherently a bad person if you don’t have friends. You aren’t “falling behind” if you haven’t had your first kiss in your 20s or never done drugs. The real world isn’t a movie. And if you see someone who doesn’t go out much and instinctually think “wow what a terminally online loser. I bet their social life sucks because they’re a sheltered creep and not because of systemic barriers beyond their control” you need to have a long hard look at why you feel that way.

There are very real barriers that prevent isolated people from finding community and connection. Do you think you’re superior for being able to breach them? Time, money, sobriety, accessibility, none of those factors were a problem for you, so it shouldn’t be for them, right? Right?

#the wider issue is that there are little to no social spaces that don’t charge you to be there anymore #capitalism has all but eradicated the third space
