In my freak era

Educate yourselves

[xcounterforcex]

If you are still playing the patriarchal game of "adorn yourself, you are an art object; look younger, lose weight, redraw your face," you need to wake up RIGHT. NOW.

You won't get any prize. They’ll tear you apart, and then demand money from you to fix the damage. They always will consider you ugly, no matter what, BECAUSE THEY EARN ON IT

Color me shocked. Considering the beauty industry’s fixation on youthfulness, the buccal fat removal trend felt out of place. Sure when you’re in your 20’s or 30’s, removing it makes your face look sculpted and striking but that fat is supposed to be there to protect your face as you age. It’s not an accident that so many of these beauty standards directly contradict each other. They want to keep you consuming products, getting surgeries and hating your face and body forever. Nothing you do will ever be enough. The ideal is literally impossible to reach

'queerplatonic relationships is like neither romantic nor friendships' okay great then drop this word. It means nothing. You're so against the romance-friendship duality you shove an entire spectrum of nuance and complexity into one queerplatonic box that could mean anything and tells me nothing

[aetas-aurea]

You do not have nine lives. You have one body, one timeline, one set of years that will not be returned to you for revision. The elderly people who say they thought they would live forever are not being poetic. They are describing a very specific and very common failure of the human imagination to make the future feel as real and as urgent as the present. Your future self is a real person who will live in the body and the circumstances and the consequences of the decisions you are making right now. She deserves better than to inherit the results of your present comfort and present avoidance.

reading about the participation of children in rituals as a form of play in ancient greece and came across an incredibly charming story from julius pollux's onomasticon where a flood prevented the adults from reaching a sanctuary to sacrifice a ram to heracles, and the children solved the problem by....sticking a bunch of sticks in an apple to give it "legs" and "horns" and offering it as a sacrifice instead. it's such a charming thought and i can perfectly picture kids these days also pretending at sacrificing an apple "goat" at recess
