Me, thinking about my plot: I’m a literary genius

Me, trying to write: I’d sell my soul for a full sentence

my problem with a lot of body positivity / progressive beauty culture stuff is that it focuses on expanding the definition of beautiful rather than deconstructing the idea that physical beauty indicates worth. my difficulties with living in a body (and therefore with living, period) often come back to the fact that no matter how tightly i control my body, i am viewed as either object of disgust or object of desire (occasionally both simultaneously). i can never be neutral. i can never be subject. my difficulty with existing would not be assuaged, at least not for long, by winning the game of “beautiful.” winning is not the same as having agency or personhood. we don’t need to change the rules of the game. we need to stop playing.

question, does anyone actually LIKE music videos for songs where the first like minute and a half is some artsy fartsy bull ass shit about the band members waking up in black and white or some shit. gimme the song already you jackasses

and dont even get me STARTED on music videos where the narrative INTERRUPTS the song. as in, halfway through its just the guy saying a sentence not in the actual song, ruining the flow entirely. fuck that

when the lyric video is 2:49 but the official music video is 6:45…… fuck that

One of the best tips for friendships I’ve ever seen was from a tumblr post, years ago. I don’t recall exactly what it said, but it suggested just… asking what people want from you.

A friend comes to you with a problem? Ask them directly how you can best comfort them.

Do you want my advice or help through action?

Do you want a listening ear to vent to?

Do you want to be comforted with affection?

Do you want to be distracted?

It can seem awkward and clunky, and yeah… sometimes it is. But it’s still friendship, and “awkward and clunky” is often better than incorrectly guessing what they want or need from you. Maybe they don’t actually know what they need, but you can invite them to think about it, and that openness of communication makes it easier for them to say “Actually, no, this isn’t working, I want x instead of y.” And you make the switch! It’s that easy.

Traffic would be greatly improved if there were 3 types of car horns: an angry horn, an “im sorry” horn, and a “your doing a great job” horn

milennial culture is sending a horrible post to your friend who is sitting 10 feet away from you in the same room, and waiting 2 seconds before hearing a dismayed “….no!”

you know these moments when a friend just casually says something that validates your friendship, like just refers to something as “our place” or “our thing” and suddenly your heart is auditioning for Cirque du Soleil and days later you’re still thinking about it
