  • So do your hobbies. Why would that ever be something you think I’m railing against? I’m saying, when we do nothing sometimes, it’s a revolutionary act. That obviously does not mean “only ever do nothing.” If you enjoy doing something, do it. I didn’t think that needed to be clarified after an anti-capitalist rant.

    Jesus, who’s are people possibly taking this to mean “do nothing or else!”

    Don’t let the concept of productivity ruin your desire to relax. I’m pretty sure I said your time is yours, don’t let anyone tell you how to not spend it, especially this amorphous concept of “productivity.”

    There’s a pandemic of “productivity” and hustle culture, people are turning their entire lives into ways to make more money. That’s way more sad than doing nothing.


  • Spending your time “productively” is a capitalist brainwashing tool. They already exploit you in your working hours, five days a week, all day. They came for our off hours with the advent of newer technologies. They came for our third spaces because they implied you were allowed to live your life outside of spending or producing capital. And they’re here, already vying for your small sliver “you” time because that doesn’t churn the gears of this life sucking system.

    Fight the fucking system. Do goddamn nothing and enjoy it. Don’t let them guilt you into thinking your life is wasted if you’re not “producing.” Fuck them.
