fascinating how far removed the language learning community is from 90% of language learners irl

you will see the most gut-wrenching paragraph about the beauty of learning other languages and how it changes ur entire worldview by monolinguals who have reached A1 in 10 languages yet actual polyglots are like “i learned them all for school/work idk”

[yelling at the club to someone i met ten minutes ago] do you think im a burden be honest

being a 26 year old woman is annoying as hell because youre either talking to people who are on the Im just a girl train or the Im decrepit and passed my prime train. hey what if we were just human adults

i really pushed off getting my heart broken for so long yet here i am…in the same spot as everyone else

told my friend “it’s like i don’t recognize myself anymore i’m not like this” and she goes “maybe you are actually like this it’s just a side you didn’t get to see until now” haha thanks i’ll shoot myself now 😁

i’ve been feeling like a loser because well i’ve been engaging in loser behaviour and activities like not looking after myself

i love leaning into a bad feeling #mytwistingknife

and the fuck of it all is i will never see internet defend a fat women as vehemently as it defends sick thin women #iwonderwhy

& i am not saying women struggling with ED don't deserve grace but there is something so insidious about the way you'll see so many people turn our worry about their physical & mental health into "it's their body" "it's their choice" "she's just naturally that thin" etc arguments. they'll swear up & down about how we are being invasive & anti-feminist but a mid or plus woman cannot exist in public eye without being called 5 different insults for just existing. like no i am not being parasocial by noticing how suddenly every female celebrity is bony thin, yes they're the victims of this system too but we have to call this trend out & stop it right here to free them from this torment as well. i do not want little girls to grow up with the same "nothing tastes better than how skinny feels" trend. let's all be more critical of what pop culture pushes as a norm okay?

because the loudest voices in this discussion have no idea how this ED works, how to address it without triggering others who have it, and most of the time don't care about how little girls grow up. ariana grande is not the reason little girls have EDs, she is a mentally ill woman who is being dragged left and right for struggling. there is a way to address it but most people are not well-equipped and will just do more damage.
