mantises are feminists

I know it's a little childish of me, but I wonder why I wasn't worth getting better for. And I don't know if he meant those awful things he said about me and my mother or if it was the drugs. I feel like I didn't deserve to have a father bc I was the one who chose to cut ties, but the whole time I was hoping he would somehow get clean, uncook his brain, go to therapy, and we could go back to how things were.

I'm not sure why I'm thinking about him so much lately, but it's really eating me up. I feel like a bad person. I also keep thinking about what the old version of him would think about all sorts of things. Would he have liked who I'm growing into? Would he like my cat? What was he doing at my age? Would he like my cd collection? I keep seeing more things we have, or had, in common.

Their phrophets are male

Their apostles are male

Their books tell periods are dirty

Their thinkers are misogynistic

Their saints would call you a whore

Don't defend your oppression

(I’m gonna make a huge multi-reblog post which may be added to. huge thank you for all the pictures- “wikivictorian” on xwitter)

You bomb a country, steal their ressources, kidnap their president, brag about it like a little boy, post pictures of your crimes, declare that you're running the country from now on, and if the current government disagrees they'll get kidnapped too, and that you'll be selling their oil and ruling their land until you can put a neo-liberal government in place.

And the rest of the world's like...

not cool 🧏, but, whatever 🤷
