can't read mlm fiction where they cheat on their wives/gfs bc the wanting to bludgeon both men to death gets in the way but i eat it up when lesbians use & betray the men in their lives #mydoublestandard

when someone calls me their friend my heart skips a beat it’s like i won at being myself

The main curators of colonial memories are still white people in many parts of the world.

For example, you still have to go to The Netherlands to look up anything about precolonial Indonesia in their archives

Same with us, a lot of Malaysian history isn't being unstudied due to a lack of interest, but due to the archives and materials being under ownership of the British government or under private ownership of British individuals and their estates. Which you can only access by studying there or buying them. A lot of the present fields of studies we do have around these were built of the backs of programs given by the "grace" of the British government or researchers who could afford the costs. Even then, our generation and future researchers will forever be kneecapped by this limitation.

Bruh I hate when you can feel the pill in your throat even if you've taken it 😪

sometimes you just have to peel the entire skin off your lips because self-care

i don’t “follow” my favorite bands. i just get pleasantly surprised when i find out that they released an album 2 months ago.

The anti-vax and anti-science propaganda is very real - and also, frankly I think doctors and nurses would've had an easier time getting people not to fall for it if they spent less time treating people like fucking shit

This post is about a lot of things but it is especially about racism, medical abuse, and eugenics

id ask God for another youth and id waste it again but in a different cardinal direction this s time

they should invent a headache that goes away the second you drink any water at all

Im always scared to call someone my friend because what if they dont consider me a friend and hate me because of that

and my take today is that framing misogynistic writing as an "inability to write female characters" subconsciously takes away most of the blame, implying that women are an alien creature compared to men and that it is no fault of the writer because it's out of their skill set. it's not an inability, not a lack of expertise, it's the simple refusal to consider women as individual people and give them the same depth and grace that comes easily to the writer when they write male characters. it's not that christopher nolan, stephen king, james cameron (and frankly anyone using the argument, both professional and hobbyist; yes, that includes fanfic writers) etc can't write women, it's that they just won't. at that point in time it is a conscious decision driven by the laziness to unpack their misogynistic biases, and should be addressed as such

When 1780 babies in Cuba die due to the measurably heightened effects of the blockade on the medical system, you must understand this as the United States murdering 1780 Cuban babies. Despite having one of the world's most advanced medical systems, and the highest doctors per capita compared to any other country (over 2.5x that of the United States) 10s of 1000s of people are unable to access medical treatment in Cuba because of the strangulation of the Cuban healthcare system. The defense of Cuba is a litmus test for socialists, you must condemn Imperialism, not the revolution, the blockade is an act of genocide
