I maintain that the best summation of my feminist beliefs are that men and women are not fundamentally different. There are a few quantifiable differences if you average out every woman and every man, but they are not qualitative. And most of them are socially constructed, and would be fixed if we started treating men and women the same. Neither is inherently smarter, neither is inherently kinder, neither is inherently more stoic or stronger or angrier or softer. Everyone is obsessed with the differences between women and men, with finding them and creating them and distancing themselves from the "other half". It's fucked up

“[after a half-hearted suicide attempt at age 13] When Daddy comes in, he carries you to bed. Is there anything you feel like you could eat, Pokey? Anything at all? All you can imagine putting in your mouth is a cold plum, one with really tight skin on the outside but gum-shocking sweetness inside. And he and your mother discuss where he might find some this late in the season. Mother says hell I don’t know. Further north, I’d guess. The next morning, you wake up in your bed and sit up. Mother says, Pete, I think she’s up. He hollers in, You ready for breakfast, Pokey. Then he comes in grinning, still in his work clothes from the night before. He’s holding a farm bushel. The plums he empties onto the bed river toward you through folds in the quilt. If you stacked them up, they’d fill the deepest bin at the Piggly Wiggly. Damned if I didn’t get the urge to drive to Arkansas last night, he says. Your mother stands behind him saying he’s pure USDA crazy. Fort Smith, Arkansas. Found a roadside stand out there with a feller selling plums. And I says, Buddy, I got a little girl sick back in Texas. She’s got a hanker for plums and ain’t nothing else gonna do. It’s when you sink your teeth into the plum that you make a promise. The skin is still warm from riding in the sun in Daddy’s truck, and the nectar runs down your chin. And you snap out of it. Or are snapped out of it. Never again will you lay a hand against yourself, not so long as there are plums to eat and somebody-anybody-who gives enough of a damn to haul them to you. So long as you bear the least nibblet of love for any other creature in this dark world, though in love portions are never stingy. There are no smidgens or pinches, only rolling abundance. That’s how you acquire the resolution for survival that the coming years are about to demand. You don’t earn it. It’s given.”

origin of your username: jiang cheng is a milf. enough said

you will always order this food: lemongrass & chili tofu my beloved

overused emoji: probably 💛 since it's my #1 and i dont actually know anyone else who uses it? yellow is my fave colour

current favourite show/movie/book: anyone who follows me can tell that i've been really into how dare you / cheng he ti tong recently, though i haven't finished it yet because i just KNOW i'm going to cry about it. i'm procrastinating it hardcore

song(s) on repeat: i've always got sleep token on lock, but recently have been loving aria and brain by chrissy chlapecka! if you're into gaga, you will love her

last thing you really got into: uhh probably my kuroshitsuji resurgence that happened within the last few months. before this, i'd only watched the anime when there was one season, i didn't even know that the movies and other seasons had been released. still working on catching up with the manga though <3

oddly specific thing that brings you joy: i drive a weird ass car (wasabi green 2012 toyota spade) and whenever i see someone else with this exact car in my city i wave excitedly at them. most of the time they don't see but occasionally i get an excited wave back same hat style!

phone wallpaper: lock screen is vessel from sleep token, home screen is one of the images from eiko jones' under monet's pond photography series

a smell that makes you happy: i love night time air, especially around october

morning, night, or other: i've never been a morning person nor a night owl, though i did have very bad insomnia throughout my teens, so i'm gonna say i'm a big late afternoon/sunset person

your work/profession: i don't work atm thanks to #mydisability but before i went back to do postgrad studies i worked in a company that wrote policies and procedures for schools. truly thrilling stuff

This weekend I thrifted the cutest book ever....like I literally gasped when I pulled it off the shelf in the craft book section of Freedom Thrift near Blue Ball (real town name, I promise).

The book is called "Soft Toys to Stitch and Stuff," a Farm Journal Craft Book, published in 1983. Sometimes I think I've seen all the cool weird vintage books...and then I encounter a new one. As soon as I opened this one, I knew the images had to be used for some Clotheshorse-isms about fast fashion, consumerism, and wealth inequality. Also, I definitely need to make some of these animals because they are all amazing!

Which one is your favorite?
