hypocrite with loud feelings

All I think about these days is how Anne Carson took 2 years out of her degree (finishing her BA at 24), Marie Howe didn’t come to poetry until she was 30 (& earned her M.F.A. at 33) and Anne Boyer ‘worked for a company that sold anal thermometers & cadaver hooks for meatpacking plants/ stockyards but only as a lowest level pink collar employee then fired upon getting pregnant’ (her own words from Twitter)

*me flirting with someone* so i’ve never liked living in a body

i’m honestly so embarrassing!!!!!!! and beautiful!!!!!!!!

saying it again but a feminism that invites people to publicly share and discuss their traumatic experiences, without mentioning any of the potential downfalls or side effects, is so dangerous, for example: if your social media account is public, potential employers could find it, or it could force confrontation within your immediate social sphere, or random strangers could harass you, without even going into mental health aspects of “sharing a story” over and over again. there are ways to break down shame and stigma around trauma without making individual people into platforms, especially when they do not have the legal and financial protection of large celebrities, and there are actual safer spaces to discuss your own trauma, and safer ways to process things, than very public revelation

centrists: i don’t believe in genocide, but i’ll defend to the death your right to organize, recruit, distribute propaganda, and make clear statements saying that you are about to commit genocide. i don’t believe in it though and i don’t understand how it happens

Im a real boring bitch! A snoozer! A low key homebody!!! I love loneliness AND privately trying to deal with emotional trauma!!!
