Procrastination is my disease.

I'm just trying to figure out what I'm doing. Ask me questions and I'll answer :) I'm passionate about my tv shows and characters lol, don't take it too seriously.

video ive been thinking about for days

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

it’s frustrating when you’re talking about an inherently oppressive institution that dehumanizes everyone who is subjected to it and someone is like “it’s especially bad for those it is incorrectly applied to!” as though being the intended victim of an injustice makes it less of a tragedy

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

been thinking about this lately after some discussions about historical marriage where people have chimed in about how extra awful it would have been for trans men forced into The Wife Role because of dysphoria. which like. yeah. but the thing about The Wife Role in the context of not having civil rights and being the property of a husband is that it is inherently dysphoria-inducing to anyone who identifies as a human being instead of an object.

“autism wouldn’t have been difficult before capitalism” “nothing that caused me burnout existed before industrialization” well what if your boots feel weird against your skin. and your cape is itchy and too heavy. and your brooch keeps making an annoying sound everytime you move and this party is too loud and you’re hungry and there’s pigeon stew but you can’t stand the texture of pigeon so you ate some olives and now your hands feel oily and gross and you drank a little bit too much wine (bc there’s no clear water. also it was too bitter) so now your head hurts and you feel a little hot but not hot enough to take your cape off and you promised this time we leave when I asked, Aurelius! you promised! and don’t forget we still have a three hour ride back home you promised it’s not going to be like last time! or something of the sort.

the ‘Life only started sucking in the 19th century’ attitude as anti-capitalist praxis is truly hilarious like. personally, if the sun was even a tiny little bit too hot on the back of my neck while i was being kidnapped and taken as a war captive after *insert empire here* conquered my home i wouldve been pissed. praefectus if the shackles feel weird on my skin im killing us both

This is the same sort of “appeal to a highly-fictionalized simpler and better time” rhetoric that like, all of conservatism is based on by the way. Except instead of the 1950s it’s an anachronistic stew of vaguely-medieval-mostly-fantasy Europe.

There’s no “greatest hits, only the good parts” version of serfdom without any of the Societal Suckitude. Sure, there’s less bright LEDs everywhere, but that doesn’t really matter when you’re outside baking in the sun all day.

when i was a kid i was so mad all the time bc i thought someday i'd have to be somebody's wife i didn't know it was optional. is everybody reminding the young girls in their lives that it's optional.

[stephexmachina]

AND SO IS BEING SOMEBODY'S MOTHER‼️

[stephexmachina]

it is about being a woman. hope that helps!

[vibrantstarfire]

reading comprehension questions for the notes:

is wanting to be a wife and mother a requirement for being a woman?

why might OP be annoyed with replies assuming that this post is about being aroace or transmasc if a woman doesn’t want to be a wife or mother?

are there reasons unrelated to sexuality and romantic interest that might make a woman not want to be a wife or mother?

are there reasons unrelated to gender identity and expression that might make a woman not want to be a wife and mother?

core concept: what is gender essentialism?

is it gender essentialism to imply that all women inherently want to be wives and mothers? could this be what OP is critiquing?

look at the notes OP responds to. is it gender essentialism to imply that being a wife and mother is so affixed to womanhood that to not want to be those things means you’re incapable of sexual/romantic feelings, or not a woman?

what trait are you perpetuating when you assume that women who do not want to be wives and mothers must be aroace or trans? is it gender essentialism?

"not to be that guy, but" im gonna stop you right there buddy. no one is allowed to be that guy. no one is allowed to be ANY type of guy. firing squad.

[winged-void]

the vast majority of tumblr users truly cannot imagine that women exist. it is impossible for them. luckily my firing squad is already here

[treecitysessions]

You could make a vent post about having no friends and it’ll blow up and people will start reblogging it just to say things in the tags like “#this would be me except I’m beloved in the community and every year all my awesome friends who would die for me come together and throw me a big surprise party because they adore me so deeply”

As someone who has actually studied the English language there's a common phrase about English that kinda annoys me because while it makes for a funny haha line it's such a gross oversimplification that it actually ceases to be funny. It's the one that goes "The English language is just three languages stacked on top of each other wearing a trenchcoat" or something to that effect.

I'm not going to go into detail as to why that sentence is inaccurate, just take my word for it as a person with a master's in English. I suggest we withdraw this expression from usage and replace it with the much more accurate "The English language is a dirty little slut that loves it when other languages cum big loads in it"

[rox-and-prose]

things this commenter believes:

being a slut is bad (wrong)

only women can be sluts (wrong, thank god)

most confusingly, that the English language is a human person who exists in corporeal form, sucking every dick in sight (wrong, but god I wish)

They are both right

the wisdom ive learnt is that becoming part of a friend group 1) takes a long time and 2) involves a lot of feeling awkward and left out at first. there’s nothing terrible about this but if you grew up chronically lonely or have any kind of trauma relating to social isolation this likely feels Really Wrong and activates danger signals. but both fortunately and unfortunately it’s just how becoming close to new people works most of the time

[caydencrypted]

another thing that was not intuitive to me as someone who grew up an autistic loner: basically everyone on the planet is starved for connection all the time and almost everything people do is an attempt to reach out to another. most seemingly illogical interactions and behaviours can be explained by this. you have to take as many of these invitations as you can. even if you're wrong you still attempted to bring more warmth into the world

[princessebonita]

Reading my old posts and DAMN I was so depressed when I was 18. So glad that's over

[princessebonita]

Weird friendship dynamics where I'm having issues with friend A who I'm kinda over, and it's now impacting my friendship with friend B who I adore. I'm just over it and annoyed and need everyone to stop being so goddamn dramatic for no reason.

[meangirlnurse]

it is like. genuinely astonishing how "progressive" people refuse to critically think about issues with the adoption system

[meangirlnurse]

there's a real attachment to the cultural mythology of the Selfless and Noble Adopter that people seem have a hard time shaking even in the face of adoptees directly telling them about their trauma

The internet phenomenon of someone sensibly saying "9 times out of 10, [thing] is [other thing]" and someone swings in to go "um actually that's not true at all because I, the rarest and most unique outlier individual to ever exist, am not that. You can't just tell people to drink water when there's an one-in-eight-billion chance that they are the only person on the planet who actually has a paradoxal reaction to water and gets dehydrated from it. That person is me btw. You cannot make general statements about things because none of them are true unless they also apply to me. They don't btw. Because I'm special. Here's a link to the article that National Geographic wrote about me on the subject."

immortalizing these tags

[internetkatze]

When me and my brother were toddlers and we spilled anything liquid, my mom would singsong, "[Name] Valdez! [Name] Valdez!"

Eventually, as we grew up, this morphed into just saying "Valdez!" whenever we spilled something. As far as I was concerned "Valdez" was just a word for "oops!" specifically in this context.

It wasn't until I was probably a teenager that I discovered she was referencing the Exxon Valdez oil spill of 1989.
