Our Lady of Immaculate Depression

the situation with harry potter is kind of unprecedented in some ways imo because it is maybe the largest media franchise in history to be created & owned by a single person who still has direct creative control over it. who is also a billionaire with significant cultural/political influence. like the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" type excuses shatter on impact when the bigoted author in question is logging onto twitter every day saying explicitly that when you buy the tim hortons ravenclaw donut she is using your donut money to fund the genocide of trans people. like with big franchises usually there's at least a little more diffusion of responsibility than this

hey. you have to love your trans brothers of color okay. and your trans sisters of color. and your nonbinary siblings of color. you have to okay. its simply non-optional

it’s never a normal temperature anymore it’s always some fucking bullshit

is it weird if i say i genuinely wish there was more positivity aimed at people w large chests

"having a large chest is the beauty standard" no having a large chest is the Sexual standard theres a difference. i can only even be Hot and everything i ever wear will be deemed too sexual for every single situation. tank top shows too much cleavege or side boob a button up is always too busty and a crop top will always show too much skin. having a large chest leads to so much back pain and sexualization and complaining about it makes people go "ahh grass is alwahs greener/you are the beauty standard, why complain?" like genuinely i urge yall to watch anything with a larger chested woman and notice, REALLY notice, that her chest is her entire personality. notice that people critiqing misogynist charavter designs alwayd tend to rally in the statement that large chest=misogny, casting aside the Many Many Many women and people who look like Me and just . have a large chest? and exist? and deserve respect and not to be seen as nothing more than a sex symbol by both sides? idk ikdayy

for years i have been trying to find out if there's a way to just test your way through college credits and ultimately a degree without actually going to school--half for good, practical, career-oriented reasons and half out of a spiteful belief that i can already pass multiple degree programs without fucking around with a college--and i think the CLEP exams and the Modern States voucher program is very close to or exactly what ive been looking for. in the associated list of 'easiest bachelor's degrees" was Business Administration, and Communications and i laughed a mean laugh. i 100%ed a handful of College Composition prep tests last night so i think i could just mop up a degree's-worth of that also

by the way, important side note: the minimum age to sign up on Modern States and start taking their free college courses that then convert to a voucher for a free CLEP test that THEN turns into transferable credits is 13 years old. if you are a teenager this could be a really really good way to just slam dunk a bunch of transferable credits ahead of time. im just starting to look into this and there are often a ton of hoops to jump through when soemthing SEEMS like a good deal, ie, there are reasons this isnt better known/better utilized. but its the first im hearing about it and i wish i had known about it when i was 13

superciliously informing me of the existence of "community college" will get you a block for your own peace of mind. it has been 0 days since the last "assume a tumblr poster knows absolutely nothing about the topic they fired off a personal blog post about, because they didnt include an indexed bibliography, CV and headshot with their post" incident

I seem to have run up against a cohort of legal platonists who thought the laws of the land were supposed to be analogous to the laws of physics and mathematics

The 8hr work day / 40hr work week is an infringement on our right to be human on earth

I’m putting in my too weak notice.
