person B getting attacked with an axe

person A : see? you are not being attacked with a machete. you are machete violence exempt! you are privileged because you are not being stabbed by a machete!

I dated a girl who was smaller than me, the type of person you’d describe as skinny. Me, on the other hand, I’m kind of in between, midsize, even fat depending on who you ask.

When I started getting to know her I got a little self conscious, could I really have a relationship with someone smaller than me? The doubt quickly fizzled away though, as I focused more on her and me as people, not bodies.

Then it became apparent that she was insecure, first it was telling me about a bad time she had while buying clothes, dysmorphia. I told her I understood, it’s happened to me too, that sizing is by no means universal and not to let it chip away at her self esteem.

As with many things she struggled with, my caring words were poured on a bottomless bucket, and she only got worse. On a particularly bad night, we were texting and she was sulking about how she had to start exercising, saying things like “I’m so lazy, I need to lose x amount of weight, I need to fit into my [3 sizes smaller than me] pants” and sending several pictures of herself of when she was her “ideal weight”, going on and on with self deprecating comments. I couldn’t understand her behavior, she’d never had an unkind word towards MY appearance, me being bigger than her.

Now, I am perfectly content with the way I look. As most women, growing up I faced comments about my weight from family members, especially my parents. As a teenager, I started practicing body neutrality, unlearning harmful behaviors, I don’t restrict myself from eating the things I like, and I believe I’m beautiful. I know how to dress and do my makeup nicely and feel good about myself, feel pretty.

I also don’t make worrying about my body or my weight a priority in my life. I understand it can be to some people, exercising regularly and eating intentionally, for me I consider I don’t have the bandwidth to go for that lifestyle. Sure, in the future I’d like to make it a priority to take care of myself in that way, but I won’t suffer about my body now that I’m not doing anything to change it. I refuse to suffer.

I relayed all of this to the girl, she said well yeah, it’s just that I have standards for myself, but you yeah I will always think you’re beautiful no matter what you look like!

What a hypocrite. How could you love me, how could you love my body and turn around and say such things in the mirror? What did you expect me to say?

People are like “these animals have exoskeletons and these ones have endoskeletons” but no. It’s all exoskeletons, your exoskeleton is protecting your bone marrow which is where your soul (which is you) is. The rest of the stuff is extraneous decoration that Big Pharma wants you to think is important/

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Why do you think there’s so few ghosts around? Why are most ghosts people who died violently? You gotta crack the bones to let the soul out. Most souls are trapped alone in the dark and silent ground (or teaching hospitals) for hundreds or thousands of years until the bones eventually start to break. People who are cremated get their whole soul released and it can reincarnate. But if someone dies violently then maybe only a couple of their bones are cracked and a little scrap of the soul escapes but it’s incomplete and confused. Can’t figure out how to leave, gets obsessed with its own circumstances, repeats actions, CANNOT be reasoned with. PROOF that the soul is in the marrow.

See I know what I’m talking about.

Sin is stored in the teeth btw which is why young children are innocent (they’ll get a do-over with replacement teeth) and the elderly are shameless (once you have no teeth to remember your sins, you have nothing to fear).

Upon review I think that maybe vodka isn’t for me.

as a member of the lgbt community, it really hurts to hear people say that my "lifestyle" isn't "family friendly". i care a lot about being family friendly. it's very important to me. that's why this month i'm partnering with your mom -

Can I be honest with yall I don't want to hear SHIT against cishets at pride this year

"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing.

At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever

Small list of books that I started reading but stopped yet want to get back into/start from the beginning:

Kill Her Twice, by Stacey Lee. Got somewhere around 40-41 pages in. I would like to start from the beginning to really sink my teeth into it---a 1930s Los Angeles mystery novel set in Chinatown where the famous childhood friend of the Chow sisters (May, Gemma, and Peony) is found dead. The police don't suspect foul play but the sisters do, and so they set out to find the truth of what happened to their former classmate. Historical Murder Mystery/Thriller

Last Night at the Telegraph Club, by Malinda Lo. Lily Hu is a Chinese American in the 1950s, which isn't a safe time period or place to be a lesbian. She and Kath meet at a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club, and they try to navigate their relationship while Lily's father faces the risk of deportation. I remember the beginning of the book being designed around Lily's romantic and sexual awakening, her realization that she isn't attracted to men and is attracted to women instead. LGBTQ+ Historical Romance.

Iron Widow #2: Heavenly Tyrant, by Xiran Jay Zhao. An... attempt, I suppose, at tackling the question of a woman's agency when she's forced into a position to marry an emperor who claims and does things that she agrees with and has to come to terms with how badly he treats her. Mechas and aliens, the sequel to Iron Widow. Honestly was disappointed in the first book and the second book also had been leaving me feeling rather disappointed, as well, but I was around halfway through or so... hmm. If I do read through them again I'll certainly make a point of explaining why it didn't work for me. I really want to like it. LGBTQ+ Science Fiction.

Hell Followed With Us, by Joseph Andrew White. Stopped at 194, honestly mostly because it was the first book I'd tried to annotate and I got really overwhelmed with the process. Benji is a trans man who is quite literally the host for the apocalypse, doing battle against himself with a force that changes his body against his will. When he escapes the cult he lived in and joins a group of LGBTQ+ survivors, he tries to do what little good he can despite the impossibility of his bodily destiny. So far, I enjoy it somewhat less than The Spirit Bares Its Teeth. Which makes sense, because TSBIT was published after HFWU. Post-Apocalyptic LGBTQ+ Body Horror.

I wonder what other books I have somewhere tucked away.

you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.
