Why does everyone think fiction is just fantasy wish fulfillment now and not like an exploration of themes and ideas
People will be like “this movie is evil and gross because it depicts a predatory relationship” and then you watch the movie in question and it’s about how preying on young women is bad and impacts their lives negatively
“Why would they do this instead of just making everyone in the movie nice and normal and good” so we would have this conversation….
i want to write about something but i don't know what. i feel like my brain has been deep-fried and i can no longer think about something profound and interesting enough to be written by me. i feel awful.
havent been feeling myself lately, im sorry if i havent replied back to anyone here
i've been loving how hungry these pop stars are when it comes to performing. not a fan of overexhaustion, but i love seeing performers and artists who clearly love their jobs. you can tell when they have put a lot of thoughts and effort into their performances. i love it.
got recently diagnosed with schizophrenia because of symptoms and genetics is crazy because now that i'm educated on how mild symptoms can appear, I can see the genetics going crazy in my family.
I've been exploring masculinity and not really putting myself in the box of femininity, and I feel... great! I didn't realize how much internalized misogyny and gender roles are packed in me until I unpacked them slowly and realized that it's not that I don't like being a woman, but I just do not want to be boxed. I do not want to perform in a certain way, I don't want people to expect me to behave in certain ways just because I was born as a woman.
did some work while im on my depressive episode! that was exhausting asf and that felt weird but it feels weirdly good
as good of a time as any to share my list of activities I do during what i like to call Scheduled Soul Maintenence to avoid burnout
go on an aimless bike/ride/walk - move your body, do it for as long as you feel like it, discover new places near you weather that is a frog or a cafe
watch a new movie/read a new book/listen to a new album - get inspired, excercise having opinions and longer attention span, break out of consuming content and make a choice about what you want to expirience
create something in a medium i haven't used in a while - get out of a habit, rekindle a flame you haven't been upkeeping, making a friendship bracelet counts
go have a fun new drink/snack - arguably most important, have a little treat without rush, slow down and focus on physical sensations, treat yourself in a way that isn't landfillcore
meet with friends and/or go to a place where you meet strangers - human connection is good for you, (maybe some casual sex if you like that/try something new with your partner)
make some bad art - create for the sake of creating without any expectations
play an instrument - this can be anything that makes you reach a kind of flow state
go see something you haven't yet - get to know the cultural/geographical map of your area, this includes events, places, or just anything that makes you go out of your way to expirience something new, can be like a viewpoint or it can be a museum exhibit, anything you find cool
cook/bake something new - nurish your body, break out of cooking habits and routine, make it an event, plate it nicely too and i would like to point out that none of these have to cost more money than your usual lifestyle.
Reminder to myself
an album cover commission from a while ago, for a little game called Spirit of the North 🦊
The real secret to being an effective activist isn't to hate yourself. It's learning to love and cherish everyone. You must learn to appreciate everyone's humanity, to make yourself able to see their potential and their inherent deservingness, and to value their perspectives and their feelings. You must learn how to lift up the marginalized, not put yourself down.
im sad and i dont know how to fix it
Great news! JSTOR now have a free account with an Independent Researcher category. You can access 100 documents per month.

Better News! all of JSTOR is on SciDB by annas-archive.org for free. We don't have to celebrate receiving scraps from an organisation that supported the prosecution of Aaron Swartz for violating their copyright. A prosecution which drove him to suicide.
beetlejuice musical ilysm
listening to Sabrina's new album and laughing my ass off at the dumbasses accusing it/her of "setting women back" and being "male-centric" like tell me you're not listening to the lyrics without telling me
"she's centering men" she's centering herself. she just happens to be attracted to men. but in all of her songs on this album, she's talking about herself. what turns her on. what she's into. what she wants. its unashamed, unabashed sexuality, and it's all about her. the men she's supposedly "centering" are afterthoughts. they're objects in her fantasies.
if you think this is "setting women back" then your feminism is poisoned by purity culture, and I pity you.
I, in the meantime, will have the best fucking time listening to this album. I hope her next album is even filthier.
oh wait so. you mean the singer who's always tongue-in-cheek and sarcastic about how disappointing it is to date men wasn't actually being literal and serious when she named her album "man's best friend" and posed as a dog for the cover??? and the album is actually another exploration of how men mistreat women in childish and selfish ways??? wowwwwwwwww who could've predicted that???? except for anyone with a millimetre of critical thought in their brains of course
If I open up to you and you start mentioning god or some other spiritual bullshit I'm gonna fucking shoot you
No hate like christian love huh
Sorry! Allow me to be angry for a second it's Sunday. I'm just thinking a lot right now. For a religion that (quote from my school's priest) "builds itself on a culture of kindness" I've never quite met anyone else this cruel. The church I have to attend is protestant (and a megachurch lol) and every week they have someone give a testimony about how they found God. Sometimes it's heartwarming, maybe. Like hey! That was great man. Most of the time, I have to sit and listen as my siblings from the LGBT community flay themselves open on stage and tell the world how their love was a sin. Today's testimony came from a former lesbian who attended church with her partner of 15 years, and then decided to break it off because they didn't want to go to hell. Not because they fell out of love or anything like that, but because they didn't want to go to hell and to live in sin. What a fucked up little echo chamber. No one hates me more than the god my parents claim to serve
One of the hardest parts of religion has always been the idea that I was born sinful and there is nothing anyone can ever do to change that- you will always be someone who’s committed sin.
It feels so futile to then try and follow the rules if I am destined to always be breaking them….
