still thinking about how i heard my favorite afrobeats song ever (Terminator by King John feat. Young John) at 4am at a gay club in beijing (which was an afters to a separate 4 story huge gay club); the world really is so big
i know this isnt an original take but was thinking ab marx’s surplus value theory & realized that chinese food is cheap bc the families that run the restaurants are exploiting themselves/their true labor value just so their prices align w what we think we should be paying for it
hot take… women pop artists cannot at the same time benefit from the fandom and love that gay men have poured into the art form and their careers while at the same time writing away all critique as misogyny (fans included)
