  1. Power doesn’t spread by accident—it replicates itself through predictable, measurable architectures that most people never see. The Panthenogenesis of Power reveals how control reproduces without consent, how systems maintain themselves through distortion, and how to break the cycle without becoming what you’re resisting. #PowerArchitecture #SystemicControl #CulturalAnalysis #DecodePower

  4. In a world where the answer to the question “What do Led Zeppelin and Warrant have in common?” is “They both have songs where pastry stands in for the female genitalia,” the high-concept ambiguity of Annihilator’s “Knight Jumps Queen” is a welcome breath of fresh air.

  12. wow, i was totally blown away by this excellent video analysing the myth of heroic masculine purpose: youtube.com/watch?v=RKdT_d-_vY

    this is feminist praxis for real. it's a man talking to fellow men about the ways that they are shaped by culture, and looking at whether these stories actually serve them.

    the video didn't get into it, but if you take a purely materialist analysis ("who benefits and who pays from x idea being in someone's head"), then the myth of masculine purpose benefits the army, the corporation, the state, the powerful.

    the army very much benefits if a man "commits himself to a purpose and pushes himself beyond his limits in pursuit of that purpose." that's a dream soldier, is what that is. that's making a person into a literal tool.

    anyway, i can go on and on about this, especially since this isn't a heroic fantasy that i grew up with. when i was little, i'd see these kinds of superhero stories and like, i knew that i would probably never be super strong or tough or could fight people physically, so the stories were sort of irrelevent to me. although i do know women who find superhero stories resonant, i just didn't see what it had to do with me. i'm not a fighter, i'm a lover! 😆​

    there was a certain moment when i realized that for many little boys, they probably imagine *themselves* in the shoes of the superhero or whatever. then when i saw elon wearing an iron man suit, i realized that this fantasy still very much lives within many, many men. it gave me a shudder. so i'm glad that there's high quality media being put out that helps men understand this fantasy.

    while i never idolized a superhero, there were action characters from pop culture that i idolized & looked up to. probably the most notable one for me was sarah conner from terminator 2, specifically. man, i thought she was cool. she was small, but she had used her time in captivity to become strong in her own way. the way they showed her escaping prison, it was something that i could imagine myself doing, not like the stuff that superheroes do. she's also so haunted and is wound a little tight...because some messed up stuff has happened to her! so yea, i identified with all that lol. even as a kid.

    A Jazz Funeral for Uncle Tom by Harmony Holiday

    Topics #artwriting, #prose, #poetry, #jazzfuneral, #jazzfunerals, #jazz, #Blackhistory, #musicalhistory, #historyofmusic, #ritual, #visualculture, #antiblackness, #culturalanalysis

    Championing the tenderest of homicidal tendencies, a penchant for mercy killings and redemptive rites of passage, A Jazz Funeral for Uncle Tom is exactly what it announces it is, a book as dynamic and eternal event wherein a feminine voice leads her band of improvisers in a procession of joyous interrogation and forgiveness. This ritural is simultaneously a purging of any cowardly impulses in the speaker and in the culture she addresses and speaks as, and a releasing or banishing of unfit archetypes, readying the landscape for fresh forces by torching the weakest links in the prevailing mythos.
