Hey everyone! 
I’m an American dude who just joined after lurking for a few months here. I got burnt out from basically every other social media being filled with slop and overall terrible things and the vibes here seem much nicer. I’m a university student in my early 20s and I only recently got around to embracing leftism (a lot of things in the past few years have popped the lib bubble I used to be in) so if anyone has any recommendations for baby’s first political theory reading, I’d be happy to check it out! Looking to get a much more concrete understanding of the world and its politics.
I’m a pretty casual gamer, but I’m a huge Undertale/Deltarune fan (part of why I joined was because you all have so many UT/DR emojis
)
(oh and I like Omori too 
).
Now I’m just going to rattle off some other stuff about myself: I like physics and astronomy, I also like history (if anyone has any good history books please let me know), I love music, I’m a pro wrestling fan, I’ve dabbled in anime (I’ve really only watched Dungeon Meshi but I liked it a lot and I’m watching Cowboy Bebop now), I’m still figuring out how I feel about calling myself aro and/or ace, I suspect I might be on the autism spectrum (no diagnosis though).
Hoping to have a good time here with all of you people 
@PolyethylenePt2@hexbear.net here’s my Read Theory, Darn it! ML intro reading list, check it out if you have the time!
Also, welcome!
Thanks for the post! Lots and lots of interesting stuff in there. Side note: does anyone know any good places to get physical copies for some of these books? I’ll see if I can check these books out from a library but I might want to keep some of these books later on. Or I might just get one of those tablet book readers idk
I highly recommend getting an eReader, if you want to “collect” theory. I have a few physical versions of books I especially like, such as Elementary Principles of Philosophy, Capital: Volume 1, and Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue, but getting books can be expensive! I do recommend checking out Thriftbooks, though, they usually have reasonable prices.
