a muse thinks.... abuse brings aloof wrinkles on foreheads more like five, the results of wisdom shedding light for real eyes to realize real lies, with custom eyes that customize sounds that guide when eyes don't see; a third eye has vision where...

When you are making Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest look like the best mother ever.

I mean, you know things are fucked if even the RNC thought it was too racist for air.

please do not accuse 15 yr olds of being pedophilia apologists. theyre misguided children. if an adult is spouting pedophilia apologism they are a danger and should be attacked, but if a child is then they are IN danger of becoming a victim, and need to be informed for their own safety.

word… a lot of teens get groomed to think illegal age gaps are normal and if you make the kid feel like they’re the bad guy it just cements the idea further :(

[sabertoothwalrus]

not to mention that most kids literally and physically CAN’T understand how young they seem to older people. Kids don’t can’t grasp their young-ness until they’re old enough to look back and really see.

So for a young person to imagine a young character in a relationship with an older one, they don’t see the problem. As adults it’s important we take the time to educate kids about this, but don’t condemn them if they don’t immediately understand because they’re not able to see the big picture yet.

THE BEGINNINGS OF KAWAII

[actualbloggerwangyao-deactivate]

No, no, you have no idea. It actually IS the beginning of the whole so-called “kawaii culture”. And it started because girls started using mechanical pencils, which provided fine handwriting. After being banished (more precisely, during the 80s), this kind of writing started being used in products like magazines and make-up. And, during this time, icons we usually associate with the whole kawaii industry (like the characters from Sanrio) came to life too.

And what many people don’t realize is that this subculture was born as a way for young girls to express themselves in their own way. And it was also used as something against the adult life and the traditional culture, often seen as dull and boring and oppressive. By embracing cuteness, these young girls (and adult women, after a while) were showing non-conformation with the current standards.

So yep. Kawaii is important, and it all started with cute, simple handwritting a few hearts and cat faces in some girls’ school notebooks <3

!!!!!

NO OK THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!

This is also how the kawaii fashions started! Girls began dressing in cute and off beat styles for themsleves, they were criticized by adult figures telling them “you’ll never find a husband if you dress that way!” to which they began to reply “Good!”

All the Japanese subcultures and fashions that evolved out of this became a rebellion to tradition and the starch gender roles and expectations the adults were forcing on the younger generations. As early as the 70s and still to this day you’ll see an emphasis on child-like fashion and themes in more kawaii styles and the dismissal of the male gaze with styles like lolita (a lot of western people assume lolita is somehow sexual due to the name of the fashion, but ask any Japanese lolita and they will tell you that men hate the style and find it unattractive which is sometimes a large reason they gravitate towards the style - they can express their femininity and individuality while remaining independent and without the pressure to appeal to men)

Its so so so important to understand the hyper cute and ‘odd’ fashions of Japanese girls carry such a huge message of feminism and reclaiming of their own lives.

so are you telling me that Japan’s punk phase was really the kawaii phase

[nerdgul]

Kawaii is so goth

The Emmy’s snubbing the amazingly talented trans women and non-binary actors on Pose ....... a show about trans people... and only nominating a cis man from the show just doesn’t sit right.

THEY DESERVE RECOGNITION FOR THEIR TALENT

Something about Black Panther that I haven't seen anyone talk about yet.

So T'Challa is this usually super stoic, soft-spoken, level-headed hero, yeah? But my favorite thing about him is that despite being so stoic most of the time, he still cries. A lot. He shows so much emotion and vulnerability when he is sad. He gets so broken down and visibly upset by certain events, and yet he is still super masculine and powerful. His tears are not shown to be ‘feminine’ or ‘degrading’ in any way. T'Challa is just a really great character. I hope he shows men that it’s not ‘unmanly’ or ‘shameful’ to cry. So, just add that to the list of reasons to love this movie.

Stop what youre doing and read this immediately and think. I was sexually assaulted by a professor as an ambitious student with dreams of a PhD and tenure. I have neither. I didn’t want to enter a male dominated space where I couldn’t fight back. I bartend now. While the bar is just as low in terms of gender equality, I have a partition (the bar itself) between touchy feely guests and me (as if that stops them all) and I’m allowed to fight back (verbally). I love bartending. But I wanted to be a professor. And I would’ve been a damned great one.
