Whump For Days

I hope you get your favorite food this week and your favorite drink and your favorite 2k dollars

I'm sorry there's no magic in this post I'm just talking. I hope good stuff happens to people online I hope good things happen to all of us

talking like point-and-click game narration to the bugs in my room

you can't get out that way!

that's not very helpful.

maybe the open window will help.

try the open window instead.

ever since i was a little girl i knew i was doomed to take things too seriously and think about them forever

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

still insane to me that nipples are a "Scary Body Part" that needs to be secret and hidden at all costs. but only if you're part of the population of people with a certain gender presentation. it baffles me. and this is just normal somehow

thinking about that extremely feminine drag queen (a cisgender man in this specific case) whose nipples were blurred on TV. obviously this post is moreso about women but just as an example of the absurdity of it all. if you present too femininely suddenly an entire normal body part of yours becomes obscene. it's crazy it's crazy it's crazy it's crazy. what the fuck is a "female presenting nipple" I feel like I'm going insane. it's just nipples. why are we scared of nipples.

anyone who is visibly deviant from what people expect a cisgender man to look like is unsafe if they just want to be shirtless at the beach. cis women. trans women. trans men. all sorts of nonbinary people. anyone who has been on estrogen for a period of time. a lot of intersex people. the list goes ON. why is it only acceptable for one specific subset of humans to be shirtless in public! fuck!!!

it is impossible to watch a movie. every night i think i want to watch a movie. no movie gets watched. because it's not possible

and yet they keep making movies with the hopes that one day humanity will discover a way to watch them. it's so inspiring

Give us room to grow and see how we flourish.

if I ever tell you “lmk what you think if you read/play/watch it!” I am firmly inviting you to send me a play by play minute by minute cataloguing of your thoughts about The Thing

My Name is 8 PM. and I am always arriving when you atrent Looking

i really hate the way the "boobs vs butt" thing got broken down into this implicit idea that butt is the nobler stance. it's really stupid. personally im a woman guy. [realizes how that sounds] [purses my lips in thought] [nods confidently] im a woman guy
