zig a zig ah!

ok so to me the magic of The Secret History is that for the first several pages you assume it’s like….the 50s. bc Richard talks very verbosely and the first few times he mentions the Greek clique they’re dressed in suitcoats, they listen to Josephine Baker on vinyl and have Sunday meals and are repressed beyond human comprehension. And then Judy goddamn Poovey queen of the earth just barrels into the book wiping coke off her nose saying “AHHH FUCK Richard if you don’t like the Thompson twins you’re nothing” and you realize these classics major fucks are acting like this in the nineteen fucking eighties

We fawn over Peter Kavinsky a lot, but can we talk about Lara Jean? Cause that girl is the most relatable and sweetest character ever. When they’re in the cafe talking after the party and Peter tries to brush off his dad leaving him and LJ says “Well we don’t have to talk about it, but it’s not whatever”. That was honestly the sweetest and most understanding line ever. She’s not pushing him to spill his feelings, but she letting him know his feeling are valid at the same time. I just- I absolutely love Lara Jean.

me, experiencing the sudden anguish that comes with living: alright

what if you woke up and found your blogtitle tattooed on your body

i feel such an affinity w women who act vapid … if im talking to a girl and she says ‘like’ after every phrase i know im gonna get along with her

just want to say that countries like sweden and austria deporting brown and black gay men and forcing them go back to uganda or afghanistan or other nations that kill and jail people for being gay because those men don’t “look or act feminine/gay” is a blatant example of racialized homophobia. and this is why i keep reiterating that orientalism is dangerous for lgbt people of color, why i keep saying that homonationalism plays such a huge role in the oppression of lgbt people of color - and i say this bc it’s not just cishet whites who spread these homophobic and racist stereotypes about what “looking gay” entails, but it’s also white gays who back them up by talking about how “inherently homophobic” nonwhite / nonwestern people are, and how nonwhite / nonwestern people are “failing” to live up to some gay Gold Standard of appearance / gender non conformity and gender expression / gayness itself. fuck all white people, gay or straight, for putting the lives of nonwestern lgbt poc and nonwhite lgbt refugees at risk.
