I say this every 10 days but golddiggers aren't a real problem and don't exist and powerful men who marry 20 year olds are the problem

One of the biggest tragedies of mankind through out all of history is all of the female geniuses who were never allowed to reach their potential and contribute their gifts to the world. Think of all the female “Mozarts” or “Einsteins” who could have been, but never were.

[sylviaplathstypewriter-deactiva]

men were raping them, forcing them to bear child after child, keeping them trapped at home and economically dependent, exchanging food and shelter and a promise of “safety and security” for sex & heirs.

[cheesyradfem]

It’s fascinating that the OP brings up Mozart and Einstein because Mozart’s sister Marianne “Nannerl” was a child prodigy on the harpsichord in her own right, but was forced to give up her career to get married on her father’s orders. Albert Einstein’s first wife, Mileva Maric, was a physicist and sole female student at Zurich’s Polytechnics and the second woman to study Physics and Mathematics full-time at their department, and may’ve collaborated with Einstein on his early papers, but according to their son she had to put aside her scientific ambitions to take care of the children. So these cases of unfulfilled female potential are more literal than you’d expect.

man. remember early in the pandemic, shortly into the telework phase, when a lot of women started vocalizing “wow, i didnt realize just how much time, energy, and even money i was wasting on dolling myself up for work every damn morning, until i didn’t have to do it anymore. i don’t think i’ll go back to doing that when we return to the office? i won’t be a slob or anything, of course, i’m just not going to go out of my way to look pretty at work"  and then,

so many people proceeded to lose every last crumb of their shit about it, writing the most asinine crybaby articles ever where they were just. utterly horrified by the possibility that more and more women might become comfortable looking natural/plain and completely opting out of the expectation to look as appealing as possible at all times, even when all they’re doing is spending all day in a cubicle. that was bonkers. lmao.

some ladies were like “during lockdown, i saw myself in the mirror without makeup much more often, and got used to it, so now i don’t feel as anxious for others to see me without makeup on either. i’m comfortable with the face i have, it’s fine just the way it is”

and some absolute dork ass losers heard this and went “truly, this is the death of femininity”

[headspace-hotel]

Death to femininity, if it means anxiety about seeing your face without substances smeared on it. Put the poor thing out of its misery.

Black Friday does not exist.

Controversial shitboxing time: Black Friday isn’t real.

Well, okay. It exists. It’s a real name affixed to a real date on a real shitshow of a calendar system used by Western civilization. (I’m using the term civilization loosely here.)

But: I’ve been watching. I am a paranoid shopper, mostly because I hate shopping, so I’m not going to spend my money on something unless I know I’m getting a deal. This means I price-watch, even on things I’m not currently in the market to buy. The only market I don’t do this on the regular for is cars, because we already know the prices are inflated. That’s what haggling is for. (Always. Play. Hardball. Be willing to walk away. If you need financing, get it before you go to the dealership. You want to be in control, not them.)

Anyway.

Black Friday isn’t fucking real and hasn’t been for at least the last five years. This week in particular has been fun: I’ve been watching them advertise sales for their early Black Friday specials, and the prices that are the “sale” price are the same or higher than they were the week before, or the month before. Hell, one year I think pretty much everyone and their neighbor’s dog raised prices prior to the sale and then lowered them back down to normal in the name of Black Friday. In fact, I think that was the first year I really noticed the trend.

Now, don’t get me wrong. There USED to be Black Friday sales. Legitimate ones. I worked in those fucking stores, so I knew those prices, and I knew if they’d been legitimately dropped or not for Black Friday. Toystore and retail, your primary Black Friday offenders–I walked those trenches, my dudes. I saw true Black Friday prices for items whose prices had been lowered just for that day.

This year, I have seen exactly ONE Black Friday deal where the price was legitimately lowered $100 below its normal going price.

Just. One.

None of the others. They have claimed price drops…except these price drops? Yeah, the items in question were already that price. Nothing changed except the advertising. I’ve been looking for BF deals, too–you never know when you might see something that other people are in desperate need of, y’know?

Y’all, there ain’t shit except a one-day sale on a pair of Apple earbuds that are still hella overpriced. Just let it go. Maybe if we all refuse to fucking participate, they’ll either bring legitimate BF deals back, or ditch the idea entirely. It’s stupid and it’s gotten people killed and encouraging greed is a sin in like a lot of religions, so maybe we can step back a little.

This isn’t to say don’t buy shit. I mean, the way our society is set up, some of this is shit we actually need. But don’t be fooled by the bullshit. Shop around. Price-watch. Don’t leap for the fancy bold print, because just like the cake, it’s probably a lie.

Anyway. Stay home on Friday. You’re not missing anything this year. If you see an honest-to-fuck Black Friday deal, buy the damned thing online at 3am and then go the fuck to sleep.

a lot of media outlets are saying that the thin brow is back and I just need everyone to know that this is misinformation. protect yourselves

"Don't take it personally" How would you like me to take it then? Professionally? Romantically? Academically?

[aroaceconfessions]

Yknow something I’ve noticed? Everyone here feels like an outsider. Isn’t that unfair? The aros that want a romantic relationship feel alienated just as much as the aros that don’t. Alloaces and alloaros both feel like people just assume they’re aroace, and aroaces feel like everyone lumps their attraction together when they don’t want that or separates it when they don’t want that. Aros that love feel alone, as do those who don’t. We all get someone pushing identities onto us the moment we exist. I wonder sometimes if it’s because of how underrepresented we are. Because whatever you want content of, you can’t find, cause there’s hardly any aspec focused content, at least that I know of. Especially for microlabels. I’m bad at articulation, but isn’t it just sadly ironic how we all feel alienated from one another? I wish we had more community and more content. I wish we had more representation. I wish we didn’t all feel misrepresented. I wish that our aspec children in the future don’t feel this, that we have made so much content it’s hard NOT to find. I wish we all felt represented. I wish we all had something to relate to. More than one thing. I wish every single one of us had a bustling community that was filled to the brim with thousands experiencing thousands of experiences. Does this make any sense? I just wish a lot. Isn’t it funny, but so very sad, how much we crave acceptance and community and representation and relatability, and how willing we are to give, but at the end of the day, it’s not enough?

🎶 I hope you're haunted by all your regrets

I hope they fuck you up inside your head

You know I don't forgive, I don't forget

I hope you're miserable until you're dead 🎶
