my biggest spoil-sport take is that broad criticism of the twilight series is very welcome because it isn't alty/girly/gay literature it's very much Mormon Girl literature which is about mormonism and the awesome nature of mormonism

[camoftarakas]

Kristen Stewart is fucking rad though

there has to be a balance struck between the two ideas of 'divine, original auteur-ship' and 'acceptable art via the majority' but oddly people tend to hold both in mind at once, just to be deployed at their own preference.

the region of New England makes sense to me. i totally get it. it's a big block of states, very neat, very contained. However. Purely from an etymological point of view, it should also include New York. New York is named for York; York is part of England; New York should be a part of New England. Alternatively, this could also be resolved if the historical county of Yorkshire achieved independence from the United Kingdom, becoming its own country, and thus New England need not contain its namesake New York. Thank You.

keep reminding yourself that it is not hypocritical to critique the things you do, the things you participate in, the things you like, or the things you want. in fact, it is essential and grievously lacking.

perfectionism is an act of the ego. - all that you have must be perfect, so criticism of you and what is yours must be wrong. - all that you will take must be perfect, so you will be disgusted by what presents itself and others who chose to take it.

accept criticism for what you attach your identity to, contemplate how to improve it, and prepare to accept the sparing opportunities of "good enough" instead of waiting forever for flawless.

you are not bad if you do something while you think "i could be making a better choice". you can not always make the best decision! you don't have that ability! but reminding yourself of what better would look like means you get closer to it. you start to plan for the better you and the better world. and doing this makes it easier to see the human in others who are imperfect and live in unideal circumstances. and they will like to be lifted up together with someone who doesn't turn their nose up at them.

i'm so glad i hated grammarly before they became an AI writing tool, because it might sound strange but you could just always tell that's what they wanted to be the whole time, even before the rise of AI

"i like all music except country and rap" - classism self-report.

"no no im actually really progressive those genres are filled with misogyny!!" - "i didn't even consider listening to a female artist" self-report.

this vs. the 2000s emo + pop-punk mix of "hot women refuse to have sex with me because women only care about looks and sex" and "i am not like other girls, because other girls suck and i don't! :) i like skateboards". i say this as a liker of emo and pop-punk but isn't it weird nobody complains about them
