i learned to live in stratospheric depths//i didnt

This is Shatters. These are my fragments. . Adjusting to life, trying to discover who I even am and all. Away-ish. 🌊🎨🥺 My heart is out at sea. I don’t think I have anything left to give. Sort of going through a lot of changes rn. Just doing what I can, if I can. What happens when your best is not enough? Guess we’ll find out. Bad decisions and a bitch made of fear. [20s] 🏳️‍🌈 ✏️🎨 Just a candle burning at both ends and trying to be ok. Begin again. And again. And again. I’m trying to begin again.

- Absent rn

And I just want you to know I think about you all the time in the air in the whispers of your name that exist in everything

And I just want you to know that reconciling myself existing in the world surrounding us is hard, but I am chasing down joy and reviving myself as much as I can

Unloveable

Drowning in the stratosphere.

Soaring through the depths.

I don’t know if this is an obvious take or a hot take, but I think people need to start re-framing feminism as the fight for body autonomy as opposed to whatever this second wave revival gender essentialist bullshit we have going on right now. Once you reframe it in this way, it’s easier to understand intersectionality and why cis women are not the only people who need feminism. The lack of body autonomy effects cis women, trans people, intersex people, disabled people, poc, homeless people, sex workers, etc. and your feminism needs to include and prioritise all of these groups of people (which will include men btw) because feminism is about autonomy, not about establishing a matriarchy. Body autonomy is the biggest threat to the patriarchy, both with reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and even the right to not be drafted into military services. Once body autonomy is established for everyone, the patriarchy no longer has a leg to stand on.

And body autonomy does include things that you don’t personally like either. I was prompted to write this post after a series of bad takes from progressives, but one of them was re-hashing the Sabrina Carpenter album cover drama with “I don’t think it’s conservative of me to think that the album cover is a bad look when we’ve seen images of women being abused in this way” because I do actually think you’ve failed to understand feminism by projecting your morals onto a woman who was consensually expressing her own autonomy just because she expressed it in a way that you didn’t like or that made you uncomfortable.

Body autonomy also means unhealthy choices. Body autonomy also means regret rates. Body autonomy also means freedom of sexuality. Body autonomy also means mutilation. If you believe body autonomy has limitations and exceptions, then your feminism is most likely surface level.

TERFs are some of the biggest opponents to body autonomy, and if you find yourself thinking “oh people can do whatever they want with their bodies as long as it doesn’t harm them or make others uncomfortable” then you are far more susceptible to TERF propaganda than you think.

And what if. They don’t let me. What if i can’t or.

I’d have to destroy myself.

And the worst part is how I’d be rewarded for it.

[shatterthefragments]

Additionally,

You build resentment in me on someone else’s behest. And onto them on your own insistence.

And do i build my own resentment to feel justified when i want to destroy everything?

you don’t talk too much. you aren’t too loud. you aren’t too needy. you aren’t too sensitive. you aren’t too this, or that. you aren’t too much anything. you will never be too much: you are you, and you are allowed to take up space. you are allowed to exist however you choose.

[silverhawk]

can you imagine how freaky shark mermaids would be like unlike sharks, shark mermaids would have actual arms/hands and could rely on touching things with their hands to see if they’re prey rather than having to bite like sharks do. like youre just swimming in the ocean and suddenly you feel a strong grip on your leg, you freak the FUCK out because uh what????? the fuck??? youre swimming alone in the ocean??

a head pops out of the water, dorsal fin pointed from its back and it just points at you and says in a low whisper: “i thought you were a seal. please dont swim alone like this, im sorry i scared you i just wanted to see what you are” and then disappears back into the depth. what the fuck.

I feel like we could do without the food shaming tbh. Like. Seriously???

1) at the age I’m at.

2) even if they’re more expensive maybe get vegetables that we like then???

3) I am NOT doing this. Like. I am actively trying not to backslide into restriction. Especially with the bone deep sadness rn that I don’t really want anything.
