Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?

Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.

the issue with growing up in the 2000s and 2010s was like there was this really big push toward "accepting your weirdness" overall but they meant like idk wearing mismatched socks or something not being tangibly beyond the norm in any way shape or form

personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist

Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it.

underwater caves are rated for diving according to how many loving spouses and kids the cave diver has waiting for them at home. they won't even let you go in some of the more dangerous ones unless you're twice married with an excellent relationship with your ex and multiple young dependent kids from both marriages

Dahling you simply must read this book! It’s all about this devious little caterpillar who simply gorges himself on all manner of divine things

And what if I said that Kylo’s character arc should’ve been more focused on his mother?? That the sequels could’ve been an amazing representation of generational trauma. And that Leia’s refusal to truly come to terms with Vader being her father lead Ben to resent himself because Leia herself feared becoming like Vader. What if Ben was terrified when they sent him off to train with Luke because he internalized how Leia felt about herself? What then??
