kiss me, my girl, before i'm sick

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

spanish films are weird as fuck in the way people THINK german films are, german films are lowkey simmering with passion the way people think french films are, french films are rather nihilistic in the way people think german films are. and italian films are all three and feature way more cock.

i can’t wait to be saved miraculously and get out of all of my predicaments

I wish irl grinding was as fun as in videogames tbh. Like yeah i need to go to work a thousand times but after that i have enough materials to buy a house. But alas, houses arent real

one of the biggest mistakes of the previous 2010s ish era of le Wokeisme was giving legitimacy and air to the sentiment that feelings of Fear and Discomfort were equivalent to actual endangerment and especially Violence. Not just because that is wrong and makes everyone stupider for believing it, but because it is rhetorically very useful for fascists. especially in their recruitment of women

it started from a place of legitimising trauma, but one of the issues with trauma responses is that they, almost by definition, fuck up your ability to rationally evaluate your actual threat level, and you couldn't point that out without being accused of de-legitimising their lived experience.
