sweatpants and tanktop is the lingerie of the proletariat

a love song is legit a magical spell. except it will never ever work on the person it’s intended for. it will give off like waves of pain towards certain random listeners but nothing more than that. weak level spell but a spell nonetheless

very disappointing when someone says "the bird app" and for one lovely moment I think they are talking about Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab, the free app that allows you to identify birds by appearance or sound, make a list of birds you have seen, and explore all the birds native to your region.... and then I realize they are talking about twitter.

once in a while it actually is pretty helpful when americans tell me very frankly just how bad it is like especially in the more rural and impoverished or lbr black and immigrant communities because the whole propaganda of the US being this ultra developed nation of dreamers who can make it happen is so powerful that i’ll say something like “oh my god please give birth in a hospital” as a blanket statement and i genuinely did forget for a moment that this alleged developed nation, so powerful so strong, will rake you over the coals and rob you blind just to have a baby or get any routine procedure like oh my god it’s surreal to me that they make you live like that. nobody hit me or yell at me please

admire folks who reblog posts which contradict eachother. exactly! keep em guessing

fuck people who reblog posts which contradict each other. no! be explicitly clear

Being embarrassed by what I enjoy is laughable. As a babe my mother submerged me in the River Cringe and I am impervious to social damage.

Don't make fun of my ankles though, no reason

has anyone else noticed that we must go on

Imo both of these people are describing genuine phenomenons, but neither are able to reconcile how the phenomenons are able to exist at once, because they're not seeing it as gendered. Teenage boys/young men are indeed using more porn than ever and teenage girls/young women indeed feel more than ever ashamed for having sexual desires. There also seems to be a sub-split between older gen z, where the girls are ashamed in the typical "puritan" sense; and younger gen z, where they are sexual, but only because they're super super into their own objectification. Either way, they're both based in the idea that sex is for men and men alone. All of these things can coexist for one obvious reason. I think holding young men accountable for being porn addicts and getting young women to unlearn the demonization of sexual desire are two sides of the same coin

Always be hope-pilled. Things are fucking rough. Many of us have experienced horrors that are almost unspeakable. But still there is good in the world. Females from all walks of life organize, look after one another, and advocate for one another. We are beating men in educational attainment, birth rates are going down, more resources exist for domestic violence and rape. And there is pushback to all of this! But we need to push back harder and continue to support and look after one another rather than allow ourselves to fall into despair. I believe in us.
