my hill to die on is that if we had some real conversations about what eating disorders are, like, definitionally, a loooooot of people would realize they have eating disorders that should not be normalized

Art forgery imo is a sort of carnivalesque of the art market, an essential part of the ecosystem of art is that whenever art becomes valuable there will be people who can fake that art and bring its value into question. The art forger is a performance artist in the mode of the court jester

it must be so freeing to be as stupid as a ceo. not a single thought echoing through that hollowed out skull. you get paid more money in 20 minutes than a handful of small countries make in a year combined to say the biggest number you can think of and if your company doesn’t hit that number you get to fire all of them

we want to entertain one billion people a day and to achieve that goal we’re going to fire every single game developer we’ve ever hired 😍😍😍

the idea that women are "more allowed" to express emotions than men under patriarchy honestly seems like a lie that serves patriarchy itself.

women are constantly pressured to dissociate from the way our circumstances negatively impact us, and we are straight up not permitted more emotional expression in any meaningful way that is received well in patriarchal relations. in reality, we are marked as "more emotional" and therefore taken less seriously than men.

nobody under patriarchy is allowed a healthy and full expression of their emotions, but framing emotional expression as an advantage that women have is bizarre.

[queeranarchism]

Women are only allowed to express emotions that fit the role of servitude - love, care, nurturing, admiration, submission, and some concern or sadness when appropriate.

Men are only allowed to express emotions that fit the role of oppressor - lust, assertiveness, domination, anger, rage, violence.

These emotions are divided to sustain a hierarchy that places women below men. Anyone who violates this division - an angry woman, a nurturing man - is punished.

And women who perform only the correct emotions at the correct moment are still punished with the accusation that those emotions make them inferior to men, whose manly feelings are re-imagined as rational drivers of their actions.

[queeranarchism]

By the way: if you understand this, then you should be able to understand that "the patriarchy harms men too" & "men benefit from the patriarchy" can both be true.

A system can both give a privileged demographic increased access to power and money, and at the same time force the members of that demographic into performing the rigid and emotionally stunting role of oppressor. It's not that complicated.

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

You'll also notice that these are all problems that are framed as solvable through individual planning, willpower, and dedication

Which is a great way to distract people from examining the societal systems and structures that are responsible for the problem in the first place.

My hope for whoever is reading this is that your life starts making sense and coming together. I hope the good days are right around the corner for you.
