INSIGHT.txt

staring at the dessert menu and twirling my hair and going "should I be baaaaddd" until the autistic girl I'm eating with says "there is nothing bad about eating dessert. it is a morally neutral action"

Your 20s are not about getting your life together they're about learning to escape the self imposed torture labyrinth you've built inside your own head

and the fuck of it all is i will never see internet defend a fat women as vehemently as it defends sick thin women #iwonderwhy

& i am not saying women struggling with ED don't deserve grace but there is something so insidious about the way you'll see so many people turn our worry about their physical & mental health into "it's their body" "it's their choice" "she's just naturally that thin" etc arguments. they'll swear up & down about how we are being invasive & anti-feminist but a mid or plus woman cannot exist in public eye without being called 5 different insults for just existing. like no i am not being parasocial by noticing how suddenly every female celebrity is bony thin, yes they're the victims of this system too but we have to call this trend out & stop it right here to free them from this torment as well. i do not want little girls to grow up with the same "nothing tastes better than how skinny feels" trend. let's all be more critical of what pop culture pushes as a norm okay?

I feel like starfish are one of those animals that are treated as very “normal” by people but absolutely shouldn’t be. Like they’re a wheel of repeating heads connected by a central stomach. They walk around using thousands of tiny sticky hydraulically powered tentacles. They have an eye on the end of each arm. Instead of having a mouth they just have an opening where their entire stomach can be pushed out to engulf prey. And they’re just allowed to exist like this. It’s not illegal or anything.
