I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF
This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.
Reblogging because it’s a damn potato and I want to encourage people to assume potatoes are magical.

I keep seeing a post going around along the lines of “If you have PCOS or your body hair is so long as to be physically uncomfortable, it’s OK to trim it”; and while this is obviously true as far as it goes, I would like to go much, much further? And say actually, you can do whatever the fuck you want to with your body hair?? Because it is YOUR hair, on YOUR body???
I realize that practicalities may interfere with dreams here, but morally speaking: you don’t owe hairlessness to the corporate patriarchy and you don’t owe hairiness to feminism. You don’t owe it to your employer to relax your curls or cover your grays, and you don’t owe it to your conservative auntie to refrain from a neon-green and hot-pink Manic Panic dye job. If you want to spend hours grooming your long luxuriant bottle-blonde mermaid hair, or shave your head or your entire body every morning, or put 112 rainbow ribbons in your full beard, or dye your pits in tiger stripes, or tweeze an anarchy symbol into your arm hair, or get pube extensions so you can wear it in elaborate braids like a dwarf, all that is totally your prerogative and you do not owe an explanation to anyone, actually! You are not required to get a note from your doctor testifying that you have experienced hair-related suffering in order to justify your grooming habits! What the hell! Leave other people alone about their fuckin hair, and expect them to do the same for you!
people need to accept that sometimes, the outcome of "interrogate whether you're REALLY doing Patriarchy-Accepted Thing for yourself" is "yes, I am, actually!"
This guy really thought sexting is fucking casual. Like man, telling you wanna kiss your girl in a certain way ia fine but asking me if I am wet? Because you fucking are isn't fucking casual. The fact that I participated in it because I had genuine feelings for him and thought he might top but no. It was fun for him. Fun my ass. I fucking feel so used. I wanna die honestly

i'm seeing a lot of new ppl join tumblr who aren't making any spontaneous semi pathetic, oversharing personal textposts whatsoever and i just want to say you're doing it all wrong... this is not like instagram like meant to be some shiny highlight reel used to make u look good its supposed to be an incriminatingly revealing dark intimate look into your life & inner psyche while simultaneously no one knows who u are or gives a fuck... anyway hope this helps some of u get on the right track

This is going to be a long post, sorry! Please read the full post before even thinking about commenting.
Over the past few days I’ve seen a few posts on my dash about taylor swift and her fans that have left a bad taste in my mouth.
I know that a lot of people think that some fans of her are “trying to make her gay” and I just wanted to put the record straight and defend some people after actually looking at what’s going on. And I know I’m probably opening myself up for tumblr’s poor reading comprehension but before I start I’m going to say this:
I do not think taylor swift is a lesbian
Ok? Now let’s have a conversation.
First of all from what I’ve seen most of the fans who talk about Taylor swift and queerness do it from a point of literary analysis and learning queer history. This is a huge part of the community and lots of people have said that they never would have learnt so much about queer history without reading taylor swift’s works through a queer lens.
Adding on to that point, it seems a little hypocritical for the gay site which loves queer readings of books, tv shows, songs, musicals, films etc to be bullying a pretty small group of people who are mainly doing queer readings of lyrics. Especially when those people get near constant death threats. Instead of bullying these people (who don’t think or do what you think they think and do) why don’t you go outside and think “does this affect me? No. Do I agree with them? No. Am I going to cyber bully them because of this? No.”
Secondly, for the people who believe that any speculation on a real persons sexuality is 100% wrong. I used to think this too but I have changed my mind a bit about this recently after stopping and thinking about it properly. I’m not trying to change your mind at all I just want you to stop and think for a minute.
If you only get mad when speculation is queer in nature, then maybe think about that for a minute. Why is it totally wrong to think a person might be queer. We probably do it in our daily lives with people we know and they likely do it with us, back in the day that’s how queer people found each other-by speculating on sexuality. Would you be upset if you found out someone that you know thought you might be queer? I wouldn’t, maybe you would but if you would, why? Why is it terrible to think someone might be queer (this is NOT about hounding a person to admit to being queer like shawn mendes, this is just thinking in your head and on your small blog that the person will likely never see). Also this is literally the website where we talk about historical (real people) being gay even when they would have never said something to the equivalent.
An addition to this point before people start saying in the comments is that this is NOT the same situation as with kit connor. The issue there was people assuming that he was straight and taking that role away from a queer person. Speculating that he was queer was the opposite of what happened in that situation. So this is not an example of what happens when you speculate queerness.
Final things to say:
1) don’t believe every post you see with someone looking insane about taylor swift being gay, a lot of them are fake.
2) before anyone says “they should listen to real queer artists instead” most of them very much do. There’s a lot of fans of Hayley kiyoko, girl in red, Janelle monae, tegan and sara, zolita, kehlani etc.
3) there are some queer flags that are there. Sorry but there are. Hairpin drops, lavender, the ladder, flag colours, songs about women, friend of dorothy reference. Whether they are intentional is a different matter.
4) shipping real people is not what is happening for the majority of the people in the community. Also this comes back to queer vs straight again. Plenty of swifties ship taylor with men she’s been seen with and no one goes into their inboxes and sends death threats even when they are the ones making taylor swift all about the men she may or may not have dated.
5) taylor swift has never stated her sexuality. I know this may be hard to belive based off of how some people act, but it’s true. She has made vague statements which could have many meanings but she has never clearly stated anything. When gaylors get upset with taylor it is not because she said she is straight, it’s because they are getting death threats and doxxed and she seems to either be unaware of it (which is unlikely given how she seems to be a little terminally online) or she doesn’t care enough to tell her fans to stop.
6) if she does explicitly say she’s straight then there will probably be disappointment in her use of queer history and flags and her potential queer erasure (as we saw with lavender haze, with straight women describing their relationships as lavender) and centring herself in queer spaces (like the you need to calm down music video) but no one will be angry that she’s not gay. And a lot will probably be grateful that she actually explicitly stated for the record to absolve any confusion. The main issue would likely be other fans ramping up the death threats and bullying.
In conclusion: these people who do queer analysis of Taylor’s work are not trying to out her or make her gay etc. if you don’t understand it that’s fine it’s clearly not for you and you can go quite easily without seeing any of it. It’s not illegal to read works through a queer lens and if it means more people know about queer history then I think that’s a very good thing.
I changed my mind after looking at what a lot of people are actually saying rather than what people perceive them to be saying and maybe you will too?
Just be kinder to people online please and if you don’t like what people are saying block them and do not engage!
everything they said.
These are my thoughts exactly and thank you for putting them so flawlessly, couldn't have done it any better

I know no one is going to read this but there is this guy whom I like even though he has given me 1000 reasons to stop loving him because he never gives me anything back; he doesnt even know I exist just to he loved by him, that i admire him so much, my heart bursts but he doesn't want to see me that way, no matter what fucking thing i do and there is this other guy who is talking and laughing with me and i have no idea about his intention and i try to find this 1000 reasons to make sure he likes me or not and all i wonder is if they are enough, is it because he sees me just as a friend or there is a future but i try to limit down these hopes with him because i didn't like him bc of anything, i liked him bc he had the guts to make the first conversation, but the first guy doesn't, this is so complicated and I am so confused all the fucking time like why am i craving something i cant have and pushing away something that may stand a chance at my craveness??
