Ideally an ornithologist, but careers involving art are certainly on the table.

Communism•Discussion Thread: What are all you reading in terms of fiction AND non-fiction? (NOW for BOTH fictional and non-fiction works) - #13
2·3 years agoI’ve yet to read The Clerical Quintet, but the Legend of Drizzt is a rather fun series. It’s a bit heavy on the swordplay, but it’s got fun characters going on fun adventures. It does veer into more serious territory at times, especially in the

Legacy of the Drow series and the Silent Blade
For books written in the 90’s, they have very little questionable material. There is a bit of uncomfortable stereotyping in The Halfling’s Gem, but Bob gets better with writing different kinds of people in the later books. If you buy the paperbacks, they’re the perfect size to tuck in a coat pocket for a quick read here and there.
8.5/10 series, would strongly recommend.

GenZedong•Has YouTube been recommending more propaganda lately for anyone else?
11·3 years agoWhat do you have your location set to? I’ve mine set to Ireland (to stop all the army recruitment ads) and I don’t see those videos often.
And not to be rude, but the phrase is “pray tell”
I haven’t had cats in years, I wish I could pet a store kitty. I miss the scruffers. Did you take any pictures of her?

3·3 years ago-
It’s two-fold. My favorite children’s fantasy series is The Magisterium, despite its many (many) flaws. My favorite adult series is the Legend of Drizzt.
-
I don’t own too much sci-fi, so no series, but To Sleep in a Sea of Stars was a very good book.
-
I don’t like horror.
-
Chewing my way through all 40 of the Legend of Drizzt books currently so I can buy the new one.
Bonus: Bruenor Battlehammer and his daughter Catti-Brie.

GenZedong•When your state agencies are so thoroughly captured by corporate interests that human life means absolutely nothing
13·3 years agoI saw that on the news and my first thought was “Damn, the capitalists really want us to forget this is happening.” I’ll have to go back to wearing a mask when I go out if people aren’t going to isolate.
Under communism we will ban Marvel movies and the world will rejoice.
Incredibly boring. I should be in Honours, but those classes give too much homework for me to handle with my busy home life. Luckily, my favorite fantasy novels are the perfect size to slip in and out of my coat pocket. In spring, I also discovered that no one bothers you after school if you hide under the bleachers. Me and the gays hang out under there and chat.

Comradeship // Freechat•What kind of media ideas do you guys have for what you would like to see in a socialist future?
8·3 years agoI suppose my wording was unclear. These are not truly documentaries. I was thinking of the Hitler’s Secret Weapon!!! or How Will We Ever Know How People Stacked Rocks??? types. They pose and present themselves as documentaries, giving the watcher the sense they’re learning, but at best the viewer learns nothing. At worst it’s thinly veiled racism cough Ancient Aliens cough.

Comradeship // Freechat•What kind of media ideas do you guys have for what you would like to see in a socialist future?
12·3 years agoI want to see documentaries without the sensationalism that plagues so many today. I want to see media educating people on everything from black holes to the development of agriculture to the mating habits of the common house spider.
I may be biased here, as I’m writing a similiar story, but I’d also like to see a science fiction show about socialist nations banding together to fight a capitalist threat.
God every one of these posts reminds me why I hate liberals -_-
Even Americans are better than this. I remember once having a twizzler as my friend was literally walking out the door and my nana being upset I didn’t offer her one too.
I’m fond of Dixieland of the Proletariat. They do a lot of interviews with people from different parties, activists, etc. One of their recurring guests is a woman who talks about indigenous rights and decolonization. It’s a lot less theory than other podcasts, more current events.
I grew up near the ocean, so sea shanties hold a special place in my heart. I especially like the original call-and-response ones that sailors sung as they worked; I just adore the rhythm it has.
I’m also fond of the Clancy Brothers and the High Kings because my mother owned a bunch of their CDs when I was tiny. I actually stumbled across the High Kings on my own. When I listened to some of their songs I got this odd feeling I had heard them before. I go rifling through my mum’s music, and bam- the exact album I had been listening to.
The Irish Rovers are pretty good; definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, though. I found them through their Drunken Sailor album, and my god their songs are addictive.
CPUSA’s hamsic. It’s classic, but it’s got a unique flair to it. I like how half of the circle is a sickle, while the other is a gear.
Sauerkraut, cabbages, and boiled potatoes. People underestimate just how good potatoes and cabbages are when you just chuck them in a pot of boiling water. It’s simple, yeah, but it’s amazing.
Somehow, my sleep schedule is actually pretty decent; I go to bed at the same time and I get at least 5.5 hours of sleep. When I’m on vacation I get up to 7 😎




Not really, actually. I find it hard to stomach most modern music like rap, pop, or hip-hop. I guess the most well-known artist I listen to is Beethoven, because Ode to Joy slaps.
