Thinking About How In Why We Build The Wall From Hadestown, The Workers Under Influence, Or Rather As

thinking about how in why we build the wall from hadestown, the workers under influence, or rather as extensions of hades, one hive mind lost of individuality, sing about how the wall that they’re building keeps out the enemy (poverty) because the enemy is after their work.

“The enemy is poverty, and the wall keeps out the enemy.”

the work in question however, is the building of the wall.

“What do we have that they should want? We have a wall to work upon. We have work and they have none.”

now, hades says it himself:

“And our work is never done, my children, my children.”

and that’s what capitalism does, or rather, is. it’s a vicious cycle that relies on the fear of poverty, poverty created by capitalism itself, to keep functioning. it thrives on exclusion and fear mongering. and that’s why, in hadestown, what sets the riot in motion is love, expressed through song. if capitalism blooms when watered by hatred of anything other, anything that is not created by capitalism itself, then it is beyond important to keep the parts of ourselves and our communities that have not been touched by that hatred, such as love or music or art or writing or speech or alive. by doing that in the world we live in now, we keep hope alive of the world we dream about.

I wrote some poetry about autism when I was younger but now looking back on it I don't think I really liked acknowledging the fact that I was disabled by my autism. If anything I was desperate to prove how undisabled I am and now that I'm older and having more frequent meltdowns I'm starting to think I have some sort of complex around accepting the fact that I am in fact developmentally disabled

No it isn’t “girlboss” or feminist to say that you don’t care about the rape of Israeli women because of what’s happening in Palestine

I feel like a lot of women grow up feeling "not like other girls" because we're constantly pushed so many differing views of what it means to be a woman that we end up overlooking that we are all still girls and later women regardless of our personalities
