Just a girl living in captivity

their height gap goes kinda wild

"Frida loved me. It's a shame I burned a letter she wrote where she said, 'I live for you and diego only. It was a beautiful love. She used to say, 'I birthed you. I had you! And I told her, 'yes, I feel your blood in mine! She gave birth to me. I admired her deeply, but I loved her more than I admired her paintings. She had her black mustache. It was thick, thick black hair. I loved seeing her eyebrows and her mustache. And she loved her mustache."

Hmmmm I wonder why people feel the need to explicitly condemn women and any action they may have possibly been a part of (like inviting a shitty guy to your wedding) yet do not extend this same behavior to men in the same industry who commit abuse and atrocities on a much larger scale 🤔?

You have a character sheet and all sorts of details but you can't write a plot to save your life. Your pacing is dogshit.

This is one of the mildest opinions I have about writing. You people are absolutely not ready for my truly scathing takes. Stay strong.

i genuinely feel like im being edged

July 6, 1907: Birthday of Comrade Frida Kahlo, Mexican communist revolutionary, epochal artist, international symbol of feminism, queerness and disabled activism.

“Today like never before I am not alone. It has been 25 years that I have been a communist. I know the central origins. I know the ancient roots. I’ve read the history of my country and almost all the villages there. I know its conflicts of economics and class. I understand clearly the materialist dialectics of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao Zedong. I love them as the pillars of the new communist world. I realized the error of Trotsky since he arrived in Mexico. I was never a trotskyite. But in that time, 1940, I was only an ally of Diego (personally) (political mistake). But you have to take into account that I’ve been sick since I was six years old and really very little of my life I’ve enjoyed health and I was useless to the Party. Now in 1953 after 22 surgeries I feel better and I can from time to time help my Communist Party. Since I’m not a worker, I am an artisan - and allied unconditionally to the communist revolutionary movement.”
