update i’m in a tree!!!! not very high in it because i’m alone and my 5’4 arse would not be able to get down on my own if i went any higher without risk of spraining an ankle. but it’s nice anyway <3 also ive pilfered a lime from somebody’s tree and have done a lot of talking to myself. if i had a therapist they’d be proud

ok i went further out onto the tree and DID jump down and DID bruise both my ankles <333333 but that's okay it was worth it

i read update im a tree

I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

i don’t understand how neil gaiman intellectual properties still trend on here so regularly he literally trafficked women. like it’s not even a discourse thing or a “he’s problematic” thing he was “cancelled” for human trafficking. he repeatedly isolated women, usually his or his ex-wife’s fans, with no support system for the purpose of raping them while they were dependent on him for income and housing. that’s human trafficking

it pmo so bad when ppl yap ab men going into gynaecology and say its creepy or strange... like and then its "defended" by arguments like how female patients may be traumatised from sexual assault from women. like yeah, great reason for men to go into gynae but like you dont even need to use that argument a simple explanation is that some people are just..Interested in certain parts of medicine?? or even just naturally gifted at it?? 🤦 wtv

adding on its valid to avoid people based on trauma but thats a self accomodation you make its the same reason you have the option to close doctors curtains infront of your parents or wear a gown instead of being nakey.. like you have choices you dont get to just eradicate men in medicine. the more you try make bodies seem inherently sexual the more theyre sexualised in normal situations like appointments

idk i always kind of roll my eyes at all those posts that are like “people used to be ugly in movies” like….. well☝️i don’t think that’s true. i think male actors have always had more leeway to look a bit imperfect. we’ve had average/weird looking male actors in every generation, including this one. but people have always needed to be “hot” for movies. and they did crazy shit for it!! marlene dietrich getting teeth extracted to hollow out her cheeks, carole lombard undergoing her (non-cosmetic) facial reconstruction without anesthesia because they thought it would look better, etc ad infinitum. do you know the kinds of diets they had women on to keep them skinny…. not to mention beauty standards for women of color tryna be in movies. like there’s a reason the three biggest black actresses of classic hollywood decades were josephine baker, lena horne, and dorothy dandridge: all pretty lightskinned with smaller mouths and noses -> approximating whiteness (no shade i love these women sm). i think the difference Today is that there are simply way more procedures you can get done since cosmetic medicine has evolved so much. so people can change more of their face with better and more reliable results than they could in the 1930s. point being that people have definitely always needed to be conventionally attractive to be in movies but given the physical scope of what could be conceivably changed about your appearance there was simply more diversity in like facial structure and features

in 2014 you could come on here and say “misogyny is bad and more ppl should consume media that includes women” and everyone would agree with you. nowadays you post something like “if you don’t care about women you might be a misogynist” and the reblogs are ppl saying “ummmmmm this take is actually problematic bc the only way i can escape misogyny is by pretending women don’t exist :/” we’re so cooked.

the ppl who'd disagree then would be unkempt shut-in cishet dudes with "anti-feminist anti-sjw" in their bios and now its all pride flag picrew icon fandom queers with pinned posts linking to their fav percy jackson fanfics on AO3. which is to say we really lost the plot when it comes to progressivism

karaoke really should have a y somewhere in there
