lately i’ve been thinking about jessica mitford a lot. she was a journalist that went up against the KKK. she exposed the greed in the american funeral industry. she was a member of the communist party during the US red scare. but the reason she’s been on my mind is bc of her family ⬇️

humanity has always been made of dreamers. just like dr adolf gutsmuth who demonstrated his safety coffin in 1822, complete with a soup tube. just a bunch of beautiful dreamers who dreamed they were gonna be buried alive and while they were waiting to be saved they might get a lil craving for soup

learning disenfranchised and marginalised history is a powerful form of resistance.

What I find myself drawn to is the big political economy questions: How does capitalism work? Where does power lie? Under what institutions has it worked better and worse (and for whom), and how were those institutions put into place?

But now we’re in a phase shift. The recent past won’t be particularly useful for understanding the near future. I’m not sure “policy” is even particularly useful to think about in the face of bigger political shifts – democratic erosion, corrupt and reactionary courts, rising influence of oligarchs.
