Don't you think boys are used to making girls uncomfortable from a very young age? They chase them on the playground, they pull their hair, they make mean jokes at them as a form of "flirting" so the issue is that when these same boys get to a place in their life where consent is now an issue, they js wouldnt care bec they're so used to seeing a displeased look on our faces that THEY caused and they simply don't care as long as they're having fun, this is how they start to overlook these things and disregard how we feel. This isnt the woman's fault its the patriarchy's fault bec “boys will be boys”. I'm saying teaching boys the concept of consent is like putting a bandaid on a wound, It's not the fact that they don't understand what no means, it's the fact that they don't care how a woman feels or what she says and yes, boys should absolutely be able to read your body language and tell that when you're uncomfortable and then stop but the problem isnt that they can't read it, its that they just don't fucking CARE enough oh my god im so so pissed rn why did i think of this even but its true and that sucks bec they are desensitized to terrorizing women, and this behavior is not reinforced through their everyday experiences it's through the media that they consume, the movies, shows, music, relationships that they see irl, family, friends whatever. Consent is a deeper issue than just no means no, its the fact that men do not give a fuck about women AT ALL and im obv not saying every guy is like this, but this is something patriarchy and society has normalized sm to the point it’s unsettling.

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people

[ninanation]

please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.

Now that Europe is suffering from the heatwave that has been killing over 3400 Indians every day, we are talking about it. Only now the mainstream media is talking of climate change. At this point, is there even a point in trying to save India? It seems as if we ourselves are digging the grave for our future generations.

People here have to be begged to protest against the rampant deforestation, so why should others care about us when Indians themselves don't?

I feel like we dont talk about kiiikiii's delulu pack enough, sure 404 was great but it has some really good tracks, better than the title track tbh.

Delulu is so dreamy and otherworldly and the lyrics r so funny like yes girl manifest everything.

Mungnyang is ethereal, theres not a day i dont think about this song man, the switch up gets me everytime.

Dizzy is cute and bubbly.

Underdogs is so good it feels very cinematic and it really reminds me of Gods by Newjeans.

To me from me is the sweetest song ever!!! Listening to it on a sunny bus ride home... healed me.

Anyways yea 10/10 ep excited for whatever they do next.

“What’s so bad about being with me?” You raped her. You changed her so fundamentally she is literally not the same person anymore. You took her body and her mind with no consideration for her own feelings about you. You dominate her life in a way she no longer has a life. You took everything from her but her life. She begged you to kill her but in your mind her not loving you was a fate worse than her death. It was never about you but you made it so anyway. She literally doesn’t exist without you. That is what your obsession did to her

for the rest of my life i will mourn nikki freeman. the writer she may have become. the love stories she would have written. all the places in the world she could have explored. the people she could have helped. all of these things she could have done, ruined because a man was selfish and greedy. because he was self-seeking and truly did not care about her as a person, but as an idea. as a concept. he loved the idea of nikki freeman. because if bear truly loved nikki, he never would have put her through that.

[acefuruya]

the longer I sit with obsession the more empathy I start to feel for entity!nikki. this creature that was created solely to love one person with this all-encompassing intensity that needed to be stronger than anything anyone felt in the entire world. entity!nikki whose entire world was just one single focal point; she'd do anything for bear to love her. she didn't know anything when she came into existence, but she was willing to do anything to get this man to fall for her.

it must have been equally terrifying for her as it was for the real nikki to have someone else fight for control over what she perceived as her body. the scene where she's sobbing in the corner, terrified of her dreams is now more sad than terrifying to me. real nikki, who has just been raped by her once best friend hurting so badly that it seeps into entity!nikki's nightmares. entity!nikki who doesn't understand why the thing she wanted so badly is causing her so much pain. why she can't bring herself to lie in bed next to the man who is the center of her world.

and the worst part is bear doesn't even seem to like her. she's trying so so hard; she made a lovely memorial for his dead cat, she waited for him to come home all day without moving an inch, she made sure to be the most doting girlfriend at the party, and he's not pleased by any of it. he seems disturbed and angry and scared and she has no idea what to do to make it better. to make it worse, he keeps asking her to behave like the original nikki but he was the one who wished for her!! she can't be like nikki because nikki was simply not capable of loving bear even a fraction of how much she does!

she can't seem to reconcile it; he wanted her so badly he conjured her into reality and now he doesn't want her anymore. she doesn't know what to do. she tries everything. she obsesses over him, she threatens to hurt herself, she gets rid of that bitch sarah who keeps distracting him and trying to steal him away, and then dresses in her clothes for good measure and he still doesn't want her.

and then finally in a fit of desperation, she makes the wish and for one beautiful moment its all perfect. he's finally looking at her the way she looks at him. and then he's dead and she's lost everything.

her entire existence, from the moment of her conception to her death was painful, and confusing, and so very sad.

stop praising academic validation

does half of the pinterest community even understand what the term academic validation means? academic validation is when someone ties their entire self worth to their academic performance. does anyone understand how seriously damaging that is?

i saw this viral video online about how students in china study for gaokao (the hardest exam in the world). i dont know about reposts but under the video i saw comments saying how "i neeeedddd academic validation!!" or "i aint falling for this chinese propaganda." can we not overlook their hardwork? they study like this to survive or else they won't be able to find a job. half of them stay unemployed. however there are still that sector of people who talk about some "academic validation".

why are we romanticising this? are we seeing all those pinterest posts of pink notebooks and a side of matcha captioned "academic validation>>>"? how is this even able to be promoted. people who actually live with academic validation are working themselves to the ground. u guys dont see all the side effects other than your muji pens and washi tape. i bet you there is a student working herself to death. tying her hair up everyday so that her hair doesnt start shedding in class. pinching herself in class to stay awake while her heart is beating 150bpm. waking up in the nurses office wondering why she woke up there. this is the reality of academic validation. lets not promote this.

academic validation isn't something to aspire to. ambition is healthy. discipline is healthy. wanting to achieve great things is healthy. but tying your worth to a grade on a piece of paper isn't. stop commenting "i need academic validation" under study videos. stop treating it like an aesthetic. stop reducing a genuine psychological struggle into pink stationery and productivity montages. if what you really mean is "i wish i were more motivated," then say that. because motivation and academic validation are not the same thing. admire hard work if you want. respect dedication. but don't romanticise the mindset that convinces someone they're only worthy if they succeed. there is nothing beautiful about believing your value begins and ends with a report card.
