met the man of my dreams

people love the idea of the mean girl nurse pipeline because it problematises medical abuse as a personal perversion rather than understanding it as a product of broadly held ableist values and its like, if this was only about ontologically evil teenage girls choosing to enter a profession because of their unique sadism then you really wouldnt expect to see the exact same forms of abuse pervading all arrangements of paid, unpaid, formal, ad hoc, and familial caretaking as well -- its more comforting to believe the nurse was just a preexisting bad person than that most of the world broadly hates disabled people and will abuse, neglect, and gaslight them if given power over their care

there'd be an episode of Bojack Horseman where there's a bunch of hot air balloons in the background and in the middle of it Bojack calls Princess Carolyn and is like "Hey Princess Carolyn I need something" and we cut to her surrounded by relatives in silly costumes and she's like "Bojack I can't help right now, it's the Jellicle Ball. The Jellicle Moon is shining bright!" and Bojack's like "Wait since when are you religious?" and Princess Carolyn is like "Of course I don't believe in all that mumbo jumbo but my family does and it's tradition. We make a night out of it." and we see an elderly cat woman getting pushed onto a hot air balloon basket and sailing away and Princess Carolyn is like "Bye Grandmaaa!" and then Bojack hangs up and gives his phone a confused look for a second and the funky sitcom "next scene" sting plays and we move on but for the rest of the episode there's screaming on-fire cats falling out of the sky in the background

They’ll do that to you. They all want to do that to you but you can’t let them

keep thinking about how I wrote in my dissertation about how every time a new form of public/social space emerges it's immediately popular with kids and teenagers who see it as a chance at freedom and then adults colonise it and kick them out. this happened with malls in the 80s and diners in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my dad was doing research on this trend in like 1975. and I was like "yeah so this is going to happen to the internet" and then five years later every government suddenly decided to ban kids from everywhere online. I hate being right especially when I don't even get paid for it

I’m so pro abortion I feel insane hearing any other take on it

Even lefties I know will eventually concede to some situation where they think it’s right to force someone to carry a child against their will as if that’s not one of the most inhumane and cruel situations to put someone in regardless of any other factors

If you misuse the term "purity culture" to be about your ship wars instead of about the abuse and sexualization of teen girls then imagine me doing this to you

You know what I fucking eat up every time? The thing where one character is an optimist and the other is a pessimist, and something happens that just, snuffs the hope right out of the optimist, and the pessimist has to desperately try to do what the other has always done for them, cheer them up. I live for that shit omg.
