i bet it feels good as fuck to intend to do something and then actually do it

Consumer choices are not praxis 4 sure but if u in no way apply your principles to your life, those more principled than you in that regard are probably going to judge you for it and you’re going to have to get okay with that and go get your Labubu Matcha McChicken or whatever knowing you will be judged for it

some of them want to amuse you 😺. some of them want to be amused 😸

It’s always wahhhh my aborted gf my aborted older brother. What about the aborted bully or the aborted asshole boss or the aborted weird situationship? I’m glad they’re not here.

there’s something deeply insidious about ostracizing autistic girls for not being girly enough and then turning around to call them pick-me’s when they personally say they aren’t like other girls. like obviously there is misogynistic context to the phrase, but that same context can’t and shouldn’t be automatically assumed of every single girl with that life experience, especially autistic girls who very often grew up completely othered or shunned from the mystified idea of “girlhood” and are literally, developmentally different from their peers. it sounds pessimistic to say, but you genuinely don’t get the same kind of community and belonging that “makes us girls” or support from girls’ girls if you’re a girl the wrong way, and speaking up about it shouldn’t get you instantly labeled as a misogynist or a pick-me just bc we’ve gender binarized our way into making girls the nice ones who couldn’t possibly do such a thing

for real tho it feels exhausting that ive seen this whole "woman should be allowed to abstain from X beauty standard" -> "i perform X beauty standard, am i evil? do you think im evil? please forgive me i came up with a dozen excuses 🥺" since like 2015 (and i know its been going on longer than that) like girl thats not the poiiiiint

look me in the eyes. repeat after me. "i face societal pressure to perform this beauty standard. i should not face that pressure. i conform to this standard. i am rewarded for performing to this standard. i need to respect women who do not perform this standard. this is not about whether or not i am a sinner for wearing makeup."

americans are sooo desensitized to guns and sometimes it manifests in ways that affect your media literacy. like remember in the first episode of sherlock when john watson opens up his drawer and you see a gun in there and youre supposed to understand that this is narratively significant and conveys his suicidality as well as his willingness to skirt rules and laws but the first time i watched it i was like oh well theres his desk gun. lots of people have those
