I feel like a lot of people get "All Art is Political" confused with "All Art is made with Political Intentions" which is not the same.

you think that you're so alone in the world then you read literature from hundreds of years ago and you realize that other people have always felt this way

shit like “I’m just a girl” and “girl math” and “girl failure” makes my blood boil. They’re not harmless turns of phrase they’re misogynistic talking points that have been abstracted enough to become palatable and “funny,” but not so much that they have lost their use as tools to demean women. And they’re so insidious because they can fly under the radar. Because it can seem like harmless jokes to make with other women. But when all your jokes are contributing to a narrative of pathetic girls who can’t make themselves real dinner and don’t want to do real math and are really just 26 year old teenage girls, you have to wonder, who does this benefit? It’s like how suicide jokes reinforce poor mental health even when they’re genuinely intended as jokes. But it’s worse, because even if you know you don’t actually believe you’re “just a girl,” there are many, MANY people out there who do. You aren’t just negatively impacting yourself, you’re feeding a broader patriarchal narrative.

sometimes i see an opinion i disagree with, and from a combination of wanting to keep up appearances, avoid flak, and cut to the heart of the issue, i draft a series of increasingly abstract responses, eventually culminating in typing out "falsehoods aren't true", which, in a perfect act of autofellatio, deletes itself

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but please don’t break promises you make to yourself just because it’s you the promise is being made to. You told yourself you’d go on a walk tomorrow morning? Do it. You said you’d get more consistent with your skincare routine? Make it happen. You promised yourself you would work on establishing boundaries regardless of who’s on the other side of them? Follow through with that. Don’t wake up the next day and go “well I don’t HAVE to do this” “it wouldn’t hurt to postpone this” “this isn’t a big deal” because it literally is. Every promise broken is another nail in the coffin of your self-actualization. It’s another major roadblock to developing healthy self-love and self-respect. Weigh promises you’ve made to yourself the same way you would weigh promises you’ve made to others.

I honestly tolerated such shitty behavior from other people before because it’s like. I didn’t respect myself enough to go through w things I want, so how can I expect other people to respect me enough to consider the way they treat me w care? And then it’s also so much easier to slip into the mentality of “they’re treating me horribly NOW but I’m sure they’ll do better in the future” “they’re not there yet but they will be” because that’s what you tell yourself when you don’t follow through w things. Other people’s subpar behavior towards you is acceptable because YOUR subpar behavior towards yourself is acceptable. I think this is what people mean when they say you have to love yourself in order to accept healthy love from other people. If you don’t think you’re worthy enough of following through w your own promises to yourself, why should you think that other people perceive you as worthy enough? It legitimately all starts w you.
