In a past life, you and I were feathers in the same cap owned by a priest. The wind blew one feather away, while the other remained. Only, there's no telling which was me and which was you.

i’m tired of babying grown women who let beauty standards control their entire life. stand up, grow up & get over yourself. enough. you aren’t perpetual victims. exercise the autonomy you refuse to acknowledge you have. you can choose to stop this circus anytime. grown ass fucking women acting like helpless victims to the patriarchy and then in the next breath going “COME WITH ME TO MY BOTOX APPOINTMENT😃” you are traitors and we will never make it out of the patriarchy if personal responsibility can’t be taken

[thesituation]

like god fucking damn women for centuries fought to have financial and social independence, and we largely achieved that in most countries, just for modern women who have no idea what patriarchy used to do to us to turn around and go “i’m not the problem, blame men for saying i look prettier after a nose job” you have everything your foremothers hoped and dreamed for, all that autonomy won through blood and sweat, and you waste it offering your body up to the patriarchy because “social pressure” get the fuck over yourself and stop acting like you have no choice. absolutely pathetic

[thesituation]

and whenever people criticize women who get cosmetic procedures done and who enslave themselves to beauty standards it’s always met with “it’s not their fault, it’s the patriarchy” and i find that to be such a circular, never ending blame game. yes fucking obviously it’s the true fault of the patriarchy but you can’t hold a system of social hierarchy accountable because the decisions individuals make constitute said system. and turning it into a chicken or the egg debate does nothing besides shift blame to something that cannot be reckoned with or addressed. stop blaming the patriarchy at large for the individual decisions of fully autonomous women

"[Todd Haynes] has acknowledged the influence of Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, Chantal Akerman’s radically minimalist 1975 portrait of female domesticity coming undone, and like Akerman’s masterpiece, Safe presents its affectless heroine in a series of precisely composed long takes. [Safe's] director of photography, Alex Nepomniaschy, emphasizes Carol’s alienation by stranding her in cavernous interiors and on the margins of wide shots. But if Jeanne Dielman encourages us to read its heroine’s regimented routine as a defense against her own anxiety and anger, Safe declines to divulge the contents of Carol’s inner life. We are unsure that she even has one." - "Safe: Nowhere to Hide" by Dennis Lim for The Criterion Collection

A day full of pleasantries; some of which i will not name (yet) due to my own paranoia but this cappuccino had some lovely fruity/floral notes to it which i didn’t expect, and i had a nice conversation with a bookshop cashier discussing Persepolis. Things may be looking up for me for the first time since last year but do i deserve it?
