Letting go of the shame that comes with being a beginner has improved my life tenfold. At least I’m trying, embarrassment is fiction.

Just make sure you're not doing that thing where you isolate yourself, and then convince yourself that you're so different from everyone else. Discomfort and fear can be a signal that you're on the right track.

you will live and you will say the wrong things and make mistakes and people will love you anyways.

i made this post because i've got so many friends that think saying something wrong in a conversation is the end of the world. it isn't. you'll be okay. you don't have to be embarrassed about every little thing. you are alive and doing things and speaking to people. you will make mistakes and you will live.

for 2024 can we finally abandon the word "problematic" in online arguments and just say what we mean. its such a nothing word nowadays

i've literally seen it used to mean anything from "this old movie is a little bit tasteless" to "this real person is actually violently bigoted." so can 2024 be the year of not dancing around words and hiding behind euphemisms

the parasocial relationship between you and the guy whose article you cite the most in your paper

wanting to talk to people is so fucking embarrassing. literally hi it's me again I wanted to have a conversation with you because I think you're fun to talk to. oh god you can just fucking kill me if you want sorry

guys i need you to be less comfortable making super negative comments abt a character in the tags of a random post abt that character. like i support haterism but make your own post. please stop and think about whether op, a person who is interested in this character enough to make posts abt them, wants to hear all that. i see this too much from people reblogging from me and it makes me embarrassed that you’re reblogging from me. you are being rude

#fandom is so much more pleasant #when you figure out where to be a lover #and where to be a hater #don't hate in places where other people are loving #let people love things in their own posts #i promise you will survive the terrible burden of shutting up #and taking your haterism elsewhere (via @majestictortoise)

yall do realize just because something has been a target of misogynistic criticism, that doesn't make stanning it completely uncritically in response some kind of revolutionary feminist praxis. right.

like i hate to break this to you but plenty of people who dislike taylor swift have better reasons for it than 'she's a successful woman'. plenty of people who dislike twilight aren't just jumping on a decade plus-old hate train because 'teenage girls like it'. pure personal taste aside, someone pointing out the racism in your girlboss media of choice is not the same as an incel frothing at the mouth over a woman minding her own business while having fun, and you're frankly telling on yourself if you're equating those two people

how the fuck am i supposed to act like a normal functional human being when The Character exists
