a lesson in technology & loving yourself at 20-something

It’s impossible to sit down with the internet on your lap and not get distracted. So today while looking for a job, I somehow found myself scrolling through my old photobucket account. There’s an explanation to be given here because at one point in time you couldn’t take a photo with your phone and post it on whatever social media site you wanted to. A lot of the time, you took pictures with an actual camera with a thing called film. You had to get these pictures developed and then scan them in, and then you had to use a site like photobucket to make the picture small enough to post on old-school social media, like myspace. Even with the developing and scanning out of the way.. I was lucky enough to have the tiniest digital camera that I took with me EVERYWHERE, I had to upload these photos to photobucket to get an url to then post them on my livejournal. Ok, another explanation.. Livejournal was like the diary you kept in your awkward angsty years, plus enough html knowledge to make your text bold, plus an url photobucket would provide so you could post selfies that you took with a camera instead of your forward-facing camera on your iPhone.

My old photobucket account consists of myspace angle selfies, graduation pictures, senior pictures, and random pictures from sleepovers and being really cool. And besides the regret that I’d like to call my eyebrows, which I over-plucked consistently through high school, I found myself remembering that double zero bod I had. The spaghetti strap tops with beading on the top. The under-shirt cami that was a staple of the 2000′s, the skirts, the polos, the purse that matched the shoes, the skinny arms, the long long hair, the fake n bake skin. A decade ago I was a board. I didn’t have fat on my body. I didn’t have the slightest curve. I ate whatever I wanted. Looking through those pictures I felt really.. Fat. I didn’t feel older or more like a woman, I felt HUGE. That’s not the normal reaction to old photos. The normal reaction is, WOW I was such a baby back then! The normal reaction is, I’m SO glad I’m not a teenager anymore.

Full disclosure: I grew up in a time where skinny was the ideal. Now it’s about being strong and/or loving your curves, but it’s hard for me to accept that. It’s not what I’m used to looking up to. I have curves now, I look my age now instead of like a teenager. It’s a good thing to not look 16 anymore, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss being a double zero. There’s a novelty that comes with being petite and skinny, you’re different and automatically pretty. Once you have some meat on your bones, it’s different. I know that I’m completely wrong. I know that I’m not actually fat. But feeling that way is a very real thing. It’s also a very real thing that I’m not currently doing anything to be skinny. I’m not dieting or exercising. I eat pizza, often. I take full responsibility for letting myself get to this point. It does seem ridiculous, but beauty isn’t standardized. Feeling good about yourself isn’t totally in line with what society thinks is good. Big butts are cool now, but when I was shaping my own idea of what cool is, they weren’t. Loving yourself is mostly about learning to grow and change your perceptions as you age. I’m not about to accept a stomach that is definitely not worthy of a crop top and say I’m beautiful just the way I am, but I do need to understand that double zero isn’t attainable/possible/beautiful for me anymore.

Moving to Los Angeles didn’t mean I automatically fell into some fitness fad the way I thought it would. My boyfriend works out and I don’t even think about doing a sit-up or anything. It’s never been anything I thought about doing, but suddenly I can’t eat whatever I want and I can feel the weight gain in my gut and in other places. It’s a weird thing to have to accept. I’ll never have that double zero bod again. But the thing is, it’s ok. There are diets out there that make sense and work, but like.. I really enjoy eating cheese. I really like sweets. I’m not going to have tea for dinner. I’m not going to suddenly want to work out. I do need to be healthy, I do need to make an effort, and even though I may never love exercising.. I need to get over that. Loving yourself isn’t just about thinking you’re beautiful. Loving yourself is about doing what you need to do to take care of yourself. And I’ll admit that I haven’t done a good job. I haven’t done a good job at all. And it’s time to start.

did you really think american sniper was a bad movie or was that a joke

OOOOOOooo BOY alright

american sniper is about Chris Kyle

Chris Kyle was the most lethal sniper in US history

He killed over 200 people singlehandedly

In his book, Kyle clearly states that he thought the enemies were savages and despicably evil

he thought killing was “fun”

“I couldn’t give a flying fuck about the Iraqis.”

He stated he regrets that he didn’t kill more people

Kyle was a hate filled KILLER

“ much of the US right wing appears to have seized upon Sniper with similarly shallow comprehension – treating it with the same unconsidered, rah-rah reverence that they would the national anthem or the flag itself. Only a few weeks into its release, the film has been flattened into a symbol to serve the interests of an ideology that, arguably, runs counter to the ethos of the film itself. ” eastwood let this happen. he painted the film in grey. IT WASNT GREY. ITS WRONG. CHRIS KYLE WAS WRONG. HE SHOULD HAVE PORTRAYED THAT CLEAR AS DAY. HE DECIDED NOT TO.

bottomline he killed women, children, and men and is being fucking defended

this film is making people do this (WARNING:OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE, VIOLENCE, HATE TOWARDS THE MIDDLE EAST)

clint eastwood

see this post

“When he was criticized bySpike Lee a few years ago, his response was to tell an interviewer that Lee should just “shut his face.” Why engage with the substance of some younger, darker punk’s critique, when you can just deny his right to utter it?”

watch clint eastwoods speech talking downward to an “invisible obama” treating him like a child

also lazy ass filmmaking

THAT FAKE BABY. I KNOW THIS ISNT IMPORTANT BC THE THINGS ABOVE WHAT IVE SAID. BUT. COMEON. THEY COULDA GOT A REAL BABY. i have a theory tht all the babies they tried to bring on set wouldnt stop crying bc they didnt want to be in this awful eastwood movie so they gave up on using a REAL CHILD.

all this stuff can be googled to support what I’ve said. American Sniper should not win a single thing and Clint should Stop and Go Away.

******People need to realize that you CAN support your country while thinking critically about its actions and its citizenry

English is not my native language.

sevenxsomething

So everytime I type something wrong or use the wrong word or the wrong tempus or grammar etc. I always get paranoid that someone who has english as their native language, will read what I wrote and spot all the mistakes I made and think, “Is she stupid or something?” or “Daamn, her english is horrible, I am never going to speak to her”.

“The Iowa Supreme Court on Friday stood by its ruling that a dentist acted legally when he fired an assistant because he found her too attractive and worried he would try to start an affair. Coming to the same conclusion as it did in December, the all-male court found that bosses can fire employees they see as threats to their marriages, even if the subordinates have not engaged in flirtatious or other inappropriate behavior. The court said such firings do not count as illegal sex discrimination because they are motivated by feelings, not gender." [x]

how is this not a bigger issue

h o w

sevenxsomething

It's not an issue because Iowa is an employment-at-will state. This means your employer can fire you because they don't like your shirt. The Supreme Court ruled this legal because under Iowa law you can fire anyone at any time for any reason. It had nothing to do with whether or not they personally think firing someone for being too attractive is moral/right. The Supreme Court's job isn't to legislate, but to decide what is legal under current state law- which is what they did.

I was just thinking this. She actually takes the children back to visit their family in their home country and they study about their own cultures. She isn’t one of those white people trying to assimilate her non-white children.
