There is a lot of excellent anarchist writing. (And a lot of not so excellent anarchist writing.) There seems to be a gap in entry-level stuff, or at least I haven't seen a lot of decent introductory material that isn't incredibly dated.
Against my better judgement, I’ve been talking to a lot of non-anarchists about the Idea and it makes it clear that I’ve got my work cut out for me. I tell them about being part of this or that anarchist club and they hit me with “isn’t ‘anarchist club’ an oxymoron?”

Mormons love to play up Joseph Smith’s lack of formal education, borderline illiteracy, and so on so they can claim that a rube like him could never have just made up the Book of Mormon. While Smith was uneducated, he was by no means a stupid man, and was extremely crafty, glib, and cunning, and eventually studied Biblical Hebrew, of all things.
Smith’s Hebrew studies had a significant impact on the development of the Mormon religion, as his noticing that one of the Hebrew words for God, Elohim, is grammatically plural seems to have directly led to his teaching that a plurality of gods existed. Mormonism is a polytheistic, or perhaps a better term would be henotheistic, faith.
As for Smith being too uneducated to have simply fabricated the Book of Mormon, anyone who has taken the trouble to read the BoM will notice that it not only has, as one scholar put it, “a non-mainstream literary aesthetic”, but is full of repetition and mnemonic devices like “and it came to pass,” and is easily the kind of thing Smith could have produced on his own. Of the various naturalistic theories of Book of Mormon origins, I think this is the most likely - Smith fabricated the Book of Mormon himself, using the Bible as a model. (I consider the Spalding Manuscript or Spalding-Rigdon theories completely discredited.)
Back when I was in my late teens and early 20s hooking up with straight guys via Craigslist personals, occasionally some wisenheimer would message me to say something like "if he's letting you jerk him off or suck his dick, he's not straight"
I have to disagree. Some of the "straight" guys who were trolling craiglist (back in the day) and the apps (now) for sex ARE just extremely closeted gay or bi men. But experience has convinced me there really are some straight guys who are more or less just using another guy to masturbate.
I’m sure plenty of women can back me up on this
can someone please teach me how to sleep well…i don’t think i’ve literally ever done it right
the phrase "this machine kills fascists" has gone through enough layers of meaning that I think it's come all the way back around to where the funniest thing you could put it on would be a gun

I can see now that “oh fuck I’m gonna soak my jorts” was not an acceptable response to seeing how much pork shoulder I can get for 20$. I’m listening to the grocery shopping community and holding myself accountable.
I understand that if you’ve grown up in America, the Philippines, Israel, Egypt, etc. seeing an uncut dick for the first time might be a little alarming but I don’t understand why hooded heroes still get so much hate. “It looks weird.” All dicks look weird. The human body looks weird. “You have to wash it.” I really hope cut guys are washing their dicks too.
The American Banjo Fraternity’s spring rally is in Palmyra, New York this year. I’m tempted to attend so I can go to the convention and spend some time going to the Mormon history sites in the area.
Anonymous asked:
how does the hohner blues band compare to the marine band as a starting harmonica?
Blues Band is one of Hohner’s lower end products and if you can afford something better I’d recommend getting it. If not, you’ll definitely appreciate the difference when you graduate to something better.
Advice to aspiring harmonica players: get a regular Hohner Marine Band, or Special 20, or the Lee Oscar equivalent, or some other regular diatonic harp, but do not get a vibrato harmonica, or an octave harmonica, or a bass harmonica, or some other weird harmonica! For some reason, people who talk to me about taking up the instrument always want to get some odd novelty harp to start out with. I can almost guarantee you none of the harmonica music you like listening to was made on one of those.
Idk if I actually agree with AA philosophy. I’ve done AA on and off for several years now and I think it’s helped. I don’t think working the steps has been a big reason why. I think the most helpful aspect is talking to and getting help with other alcoholics. My friend who first started taking me to AA compared it to church (they didn’t grow up in church).
In any case, I think steps 8 and 9, making “a list of all persons we have harmed”, becoming “willing to make amends to them all”, and “making direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others” are very good. I haven’t made a ceremony out of it, but I’ve made that list, and apologized to everyone on it privately, except for a few (thankfully, just a few) people who I know for sure want nothing to do with me - I think reaching out to someone who’s made that clear qualifies as an “injury”. There is one person who’s sort of in limbo - a big part of my life for a few years, put up with a lot of shit from me, and who eventually stopped talking to me, but I don’t know if they’d want an apology or if it would just bring back bad memories and reopen old wounds. I’ve erred on the side of caution and new tried reaching out. I’m very grateful that everyone I have apologized to has accepted the apology.
I should really rewatch BoJack Horseman
I was drinking extremely heavily when the show was on, and started trying to get better around the same time BoJack started trying to get better. It might be interesting to watch it from a slightly different perspective.
