Not just Mao as in Zedong but Meow as in cat sounds. I’m a Maoist (please don’t crucify me) who’s been lurking around Lemmygrad and Hexbear since I was a baby ML. As you can probably tell from my name, I’m probably a little too passionate about the environment, and want to add that im-vegan even though nobody asked. I am also a big Free Software user and advocate, and am looking into a pair of programmer socks even though I can not, and do not, know how to code.

If you want to read more:

I used to live for the struggle sessions in the comments, but I will probably be garbage when it comes to actually contributing to them and other converstations. I can seem to develop my own thinking but I have a hard time putting that thinking into words (probably something to do with autism or ADHD or both, working on it).

Used to be an anime fan, stopped watching as I haven’t had the time nor the interest. Image and profile pic are Tohru from Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid. It’s a particularly weird one for me because while about 60% of it (as far as I remember, could be less) is really wholesome, cute, colorful, and enjoyable, the other 40% goes from male-gazey objectifying garbage (this is sometimes literally entire characters) to “Wait what the fuck that’s illegal”. Probably couldn’t go back and watch it now without experiencing more brain damage, to be honest. Tohru’s still cute though so there she is.

TL;DR I’m new here and I’m not good at either IRL socializing or social media, so please bear (forgive me) with me if I Badpost outside of Badposting. If you got through the first part, thank you, and if you read the other parts, I just want to know how.

EDIT: Just want to that you all for coming and welcoming me to the platform! It has felt really great to finally have a voice, and I feel like more of an active participant than an observer with people who actually have good politics. Much love (I would add the hugging cat but I’m on Jerboa right now) to you all ❤️.

    Those and “breadtube” (don’t laugh!), stuff like 1Dimes Cultural Revolution video or Marxism Today’s on the Naxalites, actually.

    I found Marxism Today just the other day, incidentally.

    I’m actually so out of touch I didn’t know it was a seasonal. Hopefully it’s not one of those “twelve episodes and then no season 2” Anime

    It could also be that I don’t actually know what “seasonal anime” means. I’ve always just assumed it basically means “every anime that comes out in a given season” so it’d be kind of embarrassing to find out that I’ve been using that term wrong the whole time.

      I probably know less thn you to be honest I was paying attention for one season and I am bad at picking these kind of things up unless I directly ask. I think seasonal Anime is like you said, but there are many that release within a season that get 12 episodes with no follow up.
