i have truly posted some things online

to the window to the walls to the corner dick and balls

I kept liking and unliking this post until I got the bisexual flag. I want my flag dammit.

Writing taught me that the most interesting thing about a person is never what happened to them. it's what they decided it meant. two people can go through the exact same thing and build completely different selves out of it. the event is just the event. the story they tell about it is who they become. I think about this every time i catch myself retelling something from my own life and notice i've quietly changed what it meant. we are all editing ourselves constantly.

I think this pride month we should all get normal about trans men/mascs with long hair

Hair length based on gender is a social construct. Wear your hair however you want to.

hey you. teenage girl writing in her diary. quit talking about the boy you have a crush on and start writing about the current political situation, the valuation of currencies, and the level of technology your people hold. your diary might be the only piece of evidence our society existed after nuclear war fries all of our data backups. future historians don't need to know about damian, they need at least a secondhand accounts of the great water wars and whether or not your leaders truly did worship a deity called "the free hand of the market"

Keep writing about your crush Teenaged Girl. About your clothes, and how that other girl wore the same dress as you. Paint me a picture of what you were like.

Historians are going to hear about Damian and they're gonna LIKE IT

Make those future Historians reverse engineer the socioeconomic hierarchies of the 21st century from dreamy descriptions of Damian's current fashions. It's giving them enrichment.

Talk about the things you want to talk about. You never know what mysteries your diary might solve in future generations bc you are the only person who talks about something that other people thought was too obvious to talk about, like whatever that third condiment dish that used to be on the table with salt and pepper was for.

It was mustard. There's actually a decent number of advertisements and household guides and so forth that give details.

As a professional historian who just spent my morning reading through people's diaries, I'd love to learn about Damian, actually. Tell me all about how much you hate the teachers in X class and what's happening on your social media feed and all that daily life shit. If your writing is going to be the last record of a lost society, let it be real and let it be human.

For real. So much social and personal history is pushed aside for the big events. And you know what social and personal history is and was for most of history: women's history. Knowing about what someone wore, or social workings of relationships was deemed frivolous compared to war because they were the things women cared about. But they are not.

but like do u truly understand how Clay and Frankie would absolutely KILL devil take the hindmost
