it is so upsetting listening to so many males talk about all of the times they have gone on road trips alone and slept in their cars alone or on the side of the road, or travelled overseas alone and slept on the floor of strangers homes or in parks or at hostels and they appear to have such freedom in that they are able to be alone in ways that females, unfortunately, cannot…and there is an ignorance surrounding this in that these boys never seem to comprehend just how fortunate they are that strange people and unfamiliar places and the dark of night are not their enemies but rather exciting, promising things

it is past time we jettisoned the useless false dichotomy of introversion vs. extroversion and just accepted that everybody has a minimum amount of social interaction, failing which, they get really weird. and everybody has a maximum amount of social interaction, exceeding which, they get really weird. these levels are different for everyone, for a variety of reasons, and have no moral dimension. and that is all.

it IS a phase, mom

show me a permanent state of the self, mom

Impermanence does not mean insignificance, mom

The key to a happier life is being in a constant state of change and acceptance, mom

when lizzo said "self love is survival" and when hannah gadsby said "do you understand what self-deprecation means when it comes from somebody who already exists in the margins? it’s not humility. it’s humiliation" and when mitski said "i used to rebel by destroying myself, but realized that’s awfully convenient to the world. for some of us our best revolt is self preservation"

Me when i see a wild animal in a metropolitan area: reclaim your space, we are the invaders, retake what is yours

remember when you were a child and you thought the moon was following you in the car…gud times

THIS IS THE FUTURE I’M SO EMOTIONAL I HAVE TEARS IN MY EYES

Why hasn’t this existed for years???

if it ends up being biden v trump we gotta start burnin shit down

See your vote as voting AGAINST trump. Not for someone else.

If you must start burning shit down, wait until after we’ve voted Trump out of office and we have a president whose first response won’t be to attempt to put tariffs on fire.
