riding that train in late june

when heath ledger refused to participate in brokeback mountain skits and said “it’s not a joke to me” that’s how i feel when fast car by tracy chapman is alluded to in almost any context

Every version of you was necessary. Even the ones you’re ashamed of.

If you enjoyed this book you should read every other book in the world for extra textual context. All things are intricately related to one another.

ur actually a bad person and a terrible human being for shaving ur legs, is that what u wanna hear

[id: detailed pencil drawing of a projector casting light onto a screen. a bunny stands between the projector and the screen, and the shape of his body casts a shadow that mimics the shape of a human hand. the bunny has both arms and one leg lifted, plus his two ears, to create the five-fingered shadow. // end ID]

does anyone else feel like we need to raise the standard for writing quality across all mediums like right now

no one cares that you shave your legs because of sensory issues shut the fuck up forever

really galling amount of people misinterpreting this post so i'd like to clarify. i'm saying that when discussions about patriarchal beauty standards and the way women are heavily shamed and coerced into eschewing their own natural state of being (hairy) are occurring, it is unhelpful (AT BEST) to interrupt and say that the reason YOU remove the hair from your body is because of sensory issues. that's not what we're talking about. stop asking for validation for doing something that society at large wants you to do. stop derailing the conversation because you feel uncomfortable about being made aware that you, for whatever reason it is, adhere to harmful, unfair and ridiculous beauty standards. you're stepping into the middle of an important conversation that needs to be had and making it all about you. shut the fuck up forever.

also quite frankly i think a lot less people would experience sensory issues if they let their hair grow out so that it isn't bristly and rough and irritating. and i cannot help but wonder why these sensory issues aren't as predominant in men. maybe you're uncomfortable with the hair on your body because you've been taught to be uncomfortable with it. just a thought.
