I've had a twitch in my left eyelid for THREE (3) SOLID YEARS and my doctor's advice has been a) get more sleep and b) avoid stress. ohhhhhhhhhhh ohhh ok ohhhhhh okay.

Even though it's hard...stay engaged.

Keep fighting, keep resisting. It's only over when you give up.

for real tho it feels exhausting that ive seen this whole "woman should be allowed to abstain from X beauty standard" -> "i perform X beauty standard, am i evil? do you think im evil? please forgive me i came up with a dozen excuses 🥺" since like 2015 (and i know its been going on longer than that) like girl thats not the poiiiiint

look me in the eyes. repeat after me. "i face societal pressure to perform this beauty standard. i should not face that pressure. i conform to this standard. i am rewarded for performing to this standard. i need to respect women who do not perform this standard. this is not about whether or not i am a sinner for wearing makeup."

That’s why you should never accept the excuse “Well it was a different time.” They knew it was wrong. They always knew.

am i allowed to say kill all trillionaires or is that too specific of a threat

As an adult you must cultivate the skill of “Gross! Oh, well. Not my business.”

A couple weeks ago, on bsky Trung Le Nguyen said (paraphrasing) "if it feels like the wrong people are dying it may be because there are more beloved people than bastards" and lord how I have been clinging to that sentence
