I really don’t like when people buy the wrong type of bread…..

Yall when the laws are unjust you don’t follow them but when the library acts according to mob mentality. Do you stay and fight or do you divest and start your own? Genuine question not asking for a friend 😔

I wish I had the words to explain the context of what happens at the library but it simply is not possible. Today racial sexual physical and societal ptsd was exposed unearthed and tended to but also and separately I almost fucking ended it for all of us bc this godawful woman pruned the garden without talking to me or anyone else first.

‘The Ghetto Tarot’: Haitian artists transform classic tarot deck into stunning real life scenes:

Welcome to the Ghetto Tarot, a project from award-winning documentary photographer Alice Smeets and a group of Haitian artists known as Atis Rezistans. The idea was to take the classic Rider-Waite tarot deck of 78 cards and create a photographic version of each card using settings and objects in the vibrant ghetto of Haiti.

As Smeets says, “The spirit of the Ghetto Tarot project is the inspiration to turn negative into positive while playing. The group of artists ‘Atiz Rezistans’ use trash to create art with their own visions that are a reflection of the beauty they see hidden within the waste. They are claiming the word ‘Ghetto,’ thus freeing themselves of its depreciating undertone and turning it into something beautiful.”

Anyways I’m over the tyranny of being thin and trying to. Um ok you don’t realize how much your body has been. HMM. So I started eating again and I weigh more than I ever have but it’s good I’ve been making fried rice for years but tonight’s is honestly better than ever bc I’m not scared of ingredients anymore and how fun! You know wow how fun we bought a bunch of fruit and cheeses etc at work today and had a little feast we were all soo happy but like all my friends are on ozempic and wegovy etc and sometimes I get real competitive eating disorder about it. Last night I was like wow ok they’re gonna have ozempic face and nothing compares to homegrown eating disorder. Girl what the fuck?? Literally what in the fuck. Bc today it’s like wow this rice is delicious and that’s what we all need to focus on. Making rice with vegetables and eating it daily bc not only is it delicious but also I won’t pass out and! I won’t yell at anyone. So maybe we can start a cool and fun new trend with everyone in this country and this world where we eat a good and full dinner and also take at least one walk a day bc the trees are beautiful and the air is fresh and the sky is luminous and our bellies are full. And my nana and all of everyone’s nanas just want us to have full bellies and beautiful skies and peace in our hearts so let’s do that. Let’s just eat dinner and live in peace. ✌️

re:lr boston boys will think they’re slick remembering what you say and asking questions etc etc “gentleman” as they say, but then all you have to answer with is “no, im an adult” (why don’t you shave? Do you watch porn? Can I fix your house? No, I’m an adult) and they short circuit worse than southern boys (I shouldn’t have to fix your house, I shouldn’t have to tell you to get dressed up, don’t tell my family who your family really is etc etc) bc with southern boys, you know the game. you know they don’t respect women and they’re told to want the stepford fantasy (even though many of them don’t and actually would rather their girl take control and handle everything so they can smoke weed and drink beers etc etc) but these northern boys truly honestly think and will be the first to say “im the most liberal person you know” (ok you literally don’t know who I know but ok) so what are you supposed to do!

And the kicker is this goes for friendships, too. Your friends’ husbands will also be weird about things and only want a compliant friend in law. They want you sexually available to their brothers, but they don’t want to see you flirt with strangers at the bar. You’re actually not allowed to talk to boys at the bar (unless they’ve been pre-approved read: a friend of a friend that’s looking for a girlfriend and is almost most definitely republican). and you’re also not allowed to sleep with their brother, either. You’re absolutely (in the south and New England) not allowed to be single esp (especially!!!!!) If you have a best friend that’s a girl that’s married bc the married husband can’t handle a wife’s single best friend. So for the sake of your friendship and their marriage; you can’t be single but you also can’t meet anyone in public and you have to hangout in their married living room with their married friends and if by chance they do have a single friend that’s cute you absolutely under no circumstance can kiss or sleep with him bc you will be ridiculed for the rest of forever even if he legitimately breaks your heart and you’re sad about it. That’s no one’s problem except yours and you can’t complain or even hope that your very own friends chose your side they Will still be friends with him and they’ll say I’m so sorry but I was hanging out with so and so and he said…

Anyways. Men want a stepford wife and a stepford wife’s best friend and a stepford daughter and….

The real horror of a Stepford Wives situation isn't 'the suburbs are creepy' or even 'conformity is creepy' or 'I don't wanna be replaced by a robot'

The horror is the idea that you might choose to spend your life with somebody only to realize they don't actually want a partner and friend, somebody with ambitions and thoughts and joy. They want somebody productive, compliant, and sexually available, and all your internal life is nothing but a barrier to that. That the person you love only loves what you do for them, and the less of the an actual person you are, the happier they are.
