I know you’re tired bitch but keep fucking going

social media made politics worse… i swear people will read one feminist text or a sociological text (actually they might read summaries of them) and just overuse the terms to mean just anything they want. good example is just constantly referring to the male gaze in film or photography analysis. using the language of abuse for failed incompatible friendships. using the term of emotional labour term to mean being nice to people around u. thinking social capital refers to just having tons of friends. it removes the onus from the power individuals hold, it actually strays away from any fundamental political changes. i mean reading takes time, analysis is always meant to be nuanced and actually kind of hard… and political activism is far more than having a twitter account. 

the older i get the more it’s clear that being smart doesn’t get you very far if you’re not disciplined. there are tons of people who are brilliant but not disciplined. they have amazing ideas but cannot finish a project. they are creative and innovative but cannot execute a plan. i see how important it is to set deadlines and boundaries for myself an to be disciplined.

me: *doesn’t hear what you’re saying* yeah
