THE BODY HOLDS THE SPEAR

i'm still a leftist but in my experience women are viewed as expendable in leftist spaces, spoken over, treated as stupid, on a level that is astounding. you can get away with an enormous level of vitriolic hatred for women if you couch it in the right terms

from what i've observed, i do think there is some pressure for women in not explicitly feminist leftist circles to affect a kind of "cool girl" posture for the benefit of the men in the movement

i need to be killed

not allowed to smoke with people anymore because every time i exhale its deathblight

all that work to bring soccer to the us, paying out the nose for messi to play at miami, privately fundraising to get a top level coach your federation can't afford, getting trump to cheat for you and then your goalkeeper freezes like a baby deer for an instantly memeable goal that will humiliate your program for the next 4 years atleast.

i would smoke an enchanted cigarette if given the opportunity

reading a historical romance novel and reflecting on the way these stories often present woke nobility for the contemporary reader. a big thing is servants. you can’t not have servants in those times but many modern readers think “but I would never have servants. it would be so weird to have servants” and in order to make the protagonists of the story more relatable they are actually friends with the servants. but flip your perspective and think of it from the side of the servants. wouldn’t it be so awful if your boss was always trying to be friends with you. a really common thing you’ll see is the woke baronet having tea in the kitchen with the servants bc he’s not like other baronets. but what if your boss wanted to hang out and talk during your lunch break every day. not so charming when you think about it that way
