take it easy, true believer!

sometimes i talk about how awful it was to feel trapped by my daily makeup routine and how i couldn’t leave the house without putting on a full face and it played a major role in the misery of my high school experience because i had to spend so much extra time getting ready in the mornings and that followed me into my early 20s as well and it was hell and it was so incredibly liberating to go through the slow and uncomfortable but ultimately essential process of getting my bare face back and having makeup be an optional accessory instead of a mandatory uniform. and the response always tends to be ah yes of course, because of your trans and your masculine. and it’s like aha so close! actually! I think if I ended up being a feminine cis woman I also still would not deserve even a second of that shit! I think trans women and nonbinary people and every human alive should have the option to leave the house without a single cosmetic product ever touching their face! but thanks for playing!

Charlie Kirk getting sniped right after leading with a deeply antiblack argument is a fear I think people ought consider more 😭 you'd think that woulda been a lesson for everyone in "oh, there can be consequences for my racism?", and yet. Hilarious timing, though.

Performance art is good and listening to people who don't understand art talk about performance art is a unique type of torture.

I maintain that the best summation of my feminist beliefs are that men and women are not fundamentally different. There are a few quantifiable differences if you average out every woman and every man, but they are not qualitative. And most of them are socially constructed, and would be fixed if we started treating men and women the same. Neither is inherently smarter, neither is inherently kinder, neither is inherently more stoic or stronger or angrier or softer. Everyone is obsessed with the differences between women and men, with finding them and creating them and distancing themselves from the "other half". It's fucked up

i feel so bad for goths imagine constructing a subculture where the fashion element is so rooted predominantly in ostentatious elaborate clothes like drapey dresses and cloaks and detailed makeup and teased hair and big hats and trenchcoats and the pop cultural regurgitation of it is softcore porn of cartoon girls with huge tits in black tube tops and some fishnets
