healed ⚕ she/her

oh, lucky me, born under a meteor!

oh hi. i see you've wandered into my labyrinth of horrors. i'm w.s. healed, although i sometimes go by rose quarter-drifting. i make silly little posts here and publish tabletop roleplaying games as the HORIZON MACHINE.

i'm in my early 20s and i go by she/her pronouns exclusively. i'm a tactical goodness confidence queen and a very very smart girl with something like a university degree in Truth; rave reviews have described me as 'an organism hostile to all human life', 'a strange woman with odd ideas about how the world works', and 'a cunt'. i post about communism, imperialism, and ttrpgs. above all else i am on this webzone to have a nice time on the computer.

if you like my games or writing, you can support me on patreon or buy my games from the HORIZON MACHINE itch page. i have a twitter, a cohost, and a bluesky, although i don't use any of those platforms much. if we're mutuals, you can dm me for my discord handle.

you can find all my original posts under #tattletxt, my poetry under #hieroglyphic every particle, and passages from books or articles i like under #thought cabinet. before asking me a question, you should check out my faq, because i get the same few questions a lot.

We locked a child in a basement for 30 years to read what ideas it came up with ex nihilo & tabula rasa and it only made derivative slop

I raised a child in a lightless cave, then at age 13 I gave them a lamp, pen, and paper, and they just instinctively drew a "cool S" and amateur Kim Possible hentai

Some of you guys have never burned a CD and it shows

Some of you guys don't even realise I don't mean setting a CD on fire

if you're going to write measurehead dialog you have to use incredibly specific and possibly antiquated medical terms to describe things otherwise it doesn't quite come together

I just realized he is called measurehead because he be measuring heads. Because he believes in phrenology

to elaborate on that a bit more clearly, ive been really feeling the pressure of like. media as talking point lately. how increasingly it feels the push of many things is less, "read or watch or play this to experience it," but rather "read or watch or play this, to say that you experienced it." art as a disposable commodity for an increasingly wide-scope keeping up with the joneses. and that's all i can see in really griping about how expensive the switch 2 stuff is. like, there's such a wide bank of video games as an art form. if they never made another you could play game all of your life for free. so why is it so bad the new ones are expensive on launch? because their function is not to be understood as a work but as a checklist.

tumblr will never be the next pdf at this rate

Very slow day today, so I decided to finally watch The Birth of A Nation (at 1.25 speed, which I will not apologize for lmao). Can confirm: extremely racist

okay im going to be a little unserious as a treat and explain my politics through a quote from a video game is everyone ready

there is one thing the deserter says, "No superiors can relieve me of my duty, you bulldozed them all to a mass grave for trying to free humanity" -- & i feel like that line expresses better than anything i could ever say why reading any history of working class & indigenous movements across latin america, of their crushing defeats and wholesale slaughters and only occasional shining victories, more than anything else maintains my resolve

Anonymous asked:

how do you maintain hope when climate change is probably going to kill everyone anyway

that's not true! climate change is not going to 'kill everyone'. it is going to kill many people, yes, and turn many more into refugees, and cause economic disasters that will cause widespread suffering. which is why it is so vital for socialists to do the work to mobilize and build systems and organizations capable of fighting back against the inevitable fascist response to increased poverty and waves of refugees. so, y'know, assuming that by 'maintain hope' you mean, like, 'work for the sake of a positive political project' and 'envision the future', it is because i do not think anyone can afford not to.

From what I understand, baseball is about as popular as futebol in Venezuela. Were you ever into the sport? Like are there any local teams you cheered for?

ive never been super into club sports (shocking) but my father was obsessed with beisbol and so i inherited a team loyalty from him. vamos magallanes!!!

Anonymous asked:

what are your thoughts on the idea that the trump administration is deliberately trying to cause a financial crash so that the wealthiest members of the bourgeoisie can buy up a bunch of assets during the dip and then become even more powerful afterwards? like what happened in 2008 but on purpose. one of my friends believes in this really strongly but i'm not convinced it's not just the ruling class buying into their own propaganda truss-style again

i think that this is yknow, kind of conspiratorial thinking that's not really corroborrated by any analysis of the actual facts -- there is not a master plan here, there is a very real and powerful element here of the superstructure outpacing the base. that said i do think that a generally useful lens through which to understand what is happening in the US right now is the decline of the bourgeois state to the point where it is no longer able to act effectively as a manager of capitalism on behalf of the entire bourgeoisie, and so has now become the staging ground for a vicious intrabourgeoisie power struggle which is deeply destructive to the empire as a whole
