it's always vanitas hour in my heart

sucks when a show's protagonist is stupid but the narrative doesn't realize it

an unintelligent protagonist is fine, normal even. but if the writers think that dumb guy is smart? whoof. hard to watch

sorry i'm watching a show where the main character is constantly giving people terrible advice, but the narrative treats it like she's just being super thoughtful. "you should reach out to your abusive mom because she's still your mom." insufferable!

ITS EVOCATIVE! LIKE GREAT BIG HUGE BANANAS EXCEPT SHARP!

"historically people had servants" incorrect. historically people WERE servants, and many of us still are.

I feel like people try to explain how [historical figure] had all the time to do so many Great Accomplishments and thus go "it's because they had servants". Which is true. But then leave it at that rather than continue on to the more important point that the servants actually often were as tired and overworked and unable to have time for themselves as so many of us are. "People lived this way because they had servants" okay and how were the SERVANTS living???

I hate the push that you can quit addictions by pure willpower because it perpetuates the idea that people who can't have committed a moral failing of some kind. We all may know some people who did quit an addiction cold turkey, and with no aid, you may be one of them. And that's fantastic, but it is not the norm. It is more than okay to need help to quit an addiction. Relapse is also part of the process. Many people relapse several times before they are able to quit for good. Let's have compassion.
