First year: Those posts and memes about burned-out grad students seem a little extreme. They’re probably exaggerated, and even if they’re not, I know I’ll never be that way…
End of 4th year: *rolling up to the lab at 11am with an iced coffee* What’s up y’all, academia is a sham and our research is ultimately meaningless in a society whose trust in science is crumbling. Let’s get this day started!
Years ago my sister told me abt how she used to play online survival games like Rust or something etc. w her friends and she'd go in VC this over-the-top 'girly' voice like "ummm hey I don't play videogames much and I reeeaaallly don't know what's going on teehee, can anyone pleaaase come help me I'm so confused" and then when some guy showed up all of her friends would swarm and kill

fuck the grind. you’re clearly tired and going thru a lot right now. the world feels like it’s collapsing on you and time is running out but i’m here to tell u that it’s not. you have time. lots of time. close your laptop, put away the work, get a snack or get into bed, and call it a day my love. doesn’t matter if you didn’t do what you wanted to do today - that’s what tomorrow is for. let’s try again tomorrow. but for now, get some rest.
the fact that we’re apes is SO funny… i can calculate how many parsecs away a nebula is based upon its apparent magnitude for a fun little brain exercise. i also feel depression and existential ennui if my curtains are shut for too long because my brain has a 45000 year old creature in it who feels that darkness holds too many unknown threats
people should pay more attention to integration/disintegration lines when typing themselves.
if you are a “9″ and you don’t have severe issues with 6-reasoning and you don’t secretly or not so secretly admire #girlboss 3-narc shit you are simply not a 9.
and if instead you actively complain about having to live in a capitalist superficial 3-hell and desire to have some fucking peace instead: you are a 6-core.
also if you are an “8″ but 4-special sensitive snowflake (everyone deserves a cookie just for existing)- syndrome triggers you…surprise you are not an 8 but a 1.

More people need to get behind the genderfluid Mulan headcanon
;-; please no
Mulan is trans
translation: “strong women don’t exist. if they’re not weak and submissive, they’re not really women.” asshole.
Shortly after starting T, I caught Hell for for saying Mulan only bound her boobs because she was pretending to be a man in order to join the Army. She only even did so in the first place to take her father’s slot. If he were younger or able bodied, she’d have just stayed home. Mulan is a badass woman.
Get. Over. It.
Hi! Chinese American here!
FUCK YOU. You’re not even Chinese. This is not your legend, culture, or history to reclaim.
Fa Mulan (花木蘭) is a woman warrior. The original ballad was about Mulan worrying about her old, frail father joining in the army, and out of filial piety, took his place to save him, and serve her country. We all look up to her for loving and serving her family so much. We all look up to the story for proving that women are just as strong and capable as men, in a culture that unfortunately have a long, long history of preferring sons over daughters, to the point that daughters can be killed the moment they are born.
Fu Mulan is our heroine. She is my heroine, my inspiration throughout the years I was mistreated by my sexist paternal side of the family for being born a girl. The ‘proof’ that son preference was bullshit and I was worth something.
You don’t know shit about the Ballad of Mulan. In the ending, after the war, she returns home because she missed it dearly. She puts on her old clothing, and when her comrades came to see her, they were surprised she was a woman.
The ending, the most important ending: It brings up the metaphor of two rabbits, side by side on a hill, one male and one female, and yet you can’t tell them apart.
Are they not both rabbits? Are they not both equal?
There have always been female fighters, female warriors in Chinese folklore and fiction. YOU DO NOT GET TO ERASE THEM. ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU AREN’T EVEN CHINESE. Do you not see how racist that is of you?
Fuck off, you racist idiot.
TRAs proving again and again that they think woman = submissive. now it’s just woke though!
The cultural “joke” that men hate marriage and don’t want to get married and see marriage as a trap and their wife as a ball and chain is actually well constructed male propaganda. Men LOVE having wives. They love being married. They absolutely want a wife at home. Their operating definition of wife though is not a good one for women, who feel so lucky when they find a man who wants to marry them since men obviously oh so hate mawwiage
Men are like “haha i’m gonna be so whipped now” for their wife being like “for the last time john I need you to do the dishes after dinner, since i cooked it and you don’t want to give the kids a bath and put them to bed, so I have to do that after dinner” and john’s like hahaha my wife is such a BITCH i’m so TRAPPED as he once again doesn’t do the dishes and when his wife has to ask again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again he’s like oh my god stop NAGGING ME, WOMAN! hahaha i’m so trapped and eventually she just starts doing the dishes.
or she expects him to be an adult who knows how to run a functional household and for whom maintaining a functioning household is also a priority but it’s not. john here will literally be like “hurr durr pick up some milk” and picks up just some milk. If he helped out with the laundry or dishes he might realize “oh, shoot, we’re low on dishwasher detergent and the dryer is still broken. I’ll get some detergent while I’m here and then call the repairman tonight.” but he doesn’t. he also forgets to put the milk in the fridge when he gets home because the game is on. he doesn’t have a brain that’s constantly trying to maximize efficiency at any given moment to accomplish an endless list of tasks that can’t all get done in the amount of time there is in a day because to him, the list of tasks is much shorter. his wife takes care of everything for him.
when his wife finally says “john you worthless ass deadbeat, you don’t do anything” he will point out that he too works and just wants to relax when he gets home, can’t she understand that (she can, but she picked up the kids after work and dropped them off and got them ready this morning and made their lunches last night and she’ll make them again tonight and remember to use her lunch hour to take one of them to the dentist tomorrow and she also has to do her own damn laundry tonight because she too works and has to have clean clothes) AND/OR he will insist he does do things because he mows the lawn and keeps the shed clean and got the milk that one time and once when she was out of town on business he had to make sure the kids were fed. he gave them popsicles for dinner and they didn’t sleep that night until like 1 am and he let them stay up and the next day the same one that had to go to the dentist had a spelling test that they failed so now the teacher is all concerned and guess who’s gonna be like “ugh, marriage is such a drag” when his wife “nags” him about “coming to the parent teacher conference about your child failing english” at which he says lots of useless things like “i had no idea”
men think they are whipped when their wives ask for the bare fucking minimum because they are run ragged trying to keep the home in functioning order. wives end up ensuring the kids are healthy and happy and fed and clothed, that there is always enough of everything to eat, drink, clean with, that everyone keeps to their schedule. this makes the home a good place. but it is a lot of work to do alone.
most of the reason i’ll never have a relationship with a man again. fuck males.
Single women have longer lives and better quality of life than married women.
Married men have longer lives and better quality of life than single men.
Making us all believe (through media) that it is the opposite is the way to ensure men can keep getting married and receive all the unpaid domestic and emotional labor from women, and that women will be willing to enter an institution that works to our detriment.
he doesn’t have a brain that’s constantly trying to maximize efficiency at any given moment to accomplish an endless list of tasks that can’t all get done in the amount of time there is in a day because to him, the list of tasks is much shorter. his wife takes care of everything for him.
Yes it is men who propose to women.
Great grandma only had 12 kids because she died giving birth to the 13th because after a certain point and a certain age childbirth becomes much riskier. But your great-grandfather certainly didn’t let a little thing like her health stop him from fucking her.
Grandma, as the oldest girl, took on the maternal role when her mother died because that’s what girls and women are for and that’s how these giant families work: with the older girls providing childcare for the younger children until the younger girls become old enough to contribute as well. Then when she had a husband and kids of her own she was drugged out of her mind because being dissatisfied with being a wife and mother and doing nothing else meant you had some kind of mental problem. She was either sedated so she wouldn’t feel the crushing depression, or she was hyped on amphetamines to get her through the long pointless days.
Your mother never caught on that her own mother was unhappy, because the drugs smoothed her out and kept her from talking about her pain. Your mom used her newfound rights to go to college and get a job, because she was told that a liberated woman could have a family and a career and a husband who treated her as an equal. When her husband left it to her to handle the home and the child care, just like generations before him, your mother convinced herself it was her choice. When she was exhausted trying to balance her paid full-time work and her domestic tasks, and still wasn’t happy, she figured she just wasn’t liberated enough. She blamed herself for not being able to ~have it all~ like she was promised.
I just can’t deal with these people. Anyone who’s ever read anything from prior generations of women knows that they were miserable, but these guys want us to believe it was somehow a happier time.
Thank you. Almost everyone else in the notes is saying that families had so many children only because of the high mortality rate of infants. I’m pretty sure the institutions that forced women into unwanted marriages, pregnancies, childbirths, and motherhood had more to do with it.
Pregnancy is long and painful. Childbirth is indescribably excruciating, often lethal (especially two, three generations ago). And if you lose multiple children after going through it multiple times, that isn’t exactly a reason to keep doing it… unless you’re not the one who has to endure it and you have another person who can do it for you.
I’d wager that women who went through childbirth 12+ times didn’t decide to do that of their own accord. They were legally understood to be the property of their husbands. They were socially understood to be incubators and domestic servants. They were barred from the public sphere – jobs, education, politics, etc. – most had to marry to survive.
It’s not hard to understand that, given the right to not have kids, a lot of women won’t have kids. A lot of us just want dogs, ffs.
Wish my nana had the option to abort. People act like it’s a virtue that women had that many babies back then… no.. it was a curse inflicted on them by patriarchy, and a lot of women died trying to have at home abortions that proved to not be safe because of the lack of information (on purpose so they wouldn’t do it, and it resulted in deaths for many women bold enough, or at the end of their ropes, to try it.) thank gawd for safe and effective abortions. Excuse me while I go get my own link to post below

Here’s what I keep wondering: Does J.Lo remember anything from that night? Could she focus on the speeches, the performances, the friends sitting around her? Honestly, how could she think about anything besides whether her breasts still had just the right amount of coverage? What happened when she sat down? Did she have to suck her stomach in? Can you even sit down in that dress? How much of a distraction must wearing that dress have been?
As fashions exposed more of the body, they required more body monitoring. Once the legs were exposed, they needed to be smooth and hair-free. As clothing became tighter through the torso (not just the waist), the whole torso needed to become slim. What seemed like greater freedom in terms of clothing actually in some ways translated into more restrictions. Sure, you can bare your arms and legs. You can wear jeans. But now you have to worry about how your arms and legs look. And now those jeans you love reveal the exact shape of your butt. Your freedom to wear a bikini means you have to worry about the size of your thighs. Chronic body monitoring is a ridiculous price to pay for fashion, but as women, we pay it all the time in dozens of different ways. I don’t want young women to feel shame about their bodies. I don’t want them to be called sluts when they wear what fashion moguls have decided to be the in style of the season. They should be able to wear whatever they are comfortable wearing. But how comfortable are they? We should have the freedom to dress how we see fit, but we should also have the freedom to be present in the moment. If we are to monitor ourselves, I want us to be able to monitor our thoughts and feelings, our desires and goals, not our appearance.
- Beauty Sick by Renee Engeln
There are a lot of things this makes me think of:
That study showing women do worse at math when they're in bathing suits than when they're in normal clothes, while men are unaffected by the kinds of clothes they wear
How every girl and woman, from little girls to professional athletes, is expected to wear a tiny bathing suit or leotard or short shorts if we engage in any physical activity, and how uncomfortable that made me feel as a girl.
How as girls hit puberty we end up having to shave our inner thighs so hair doesn't show around the side of our bathing suits while boys can just keep on wearing swim trunks.
How many girls see these outfits and are scared away from sports? How many women would be better at swimming or running or gymnastics or dance if we didn't have to worry about how our bodies looked, about chafing around our thighs, about wardrobe malfunctions, about gluing our clothes to our asses?
Speaking of glue, how much can any of these women pictured above can enjoy events with their clothes literally glued on their bodies?
How many singers would sing with stronger voices if they weren't in high heels and constricting clothes, if they were pain free and boob-glue free and able to breath freely.
How we start out in clothes that are already uncomfortably skimpy and are expected to wear even skimpier and skimpier ones as we grow older, or we'll be seen as immature or prudish or ashamed, until we're seen as too old to be attractive (usually around 35)
Which means that at the same time as our bodies are growing and changing we're supposed to let the world see more of our skin than ever before, which means having to be more self-conscious than ever before.
And also means we never get to interact with our bodies on our own terms. We can never neutrally observe our growing breasts and shifting fat distribution and body hair, we always have be conscious about how these things appear to others and what kind of statements they make.
Even when she brings money to the house that guy still use financial abuse against her. And still her female socialization and the gaslighting he keeps her through makes her feel guilty.
I hope the comments help her.
so this is gaslighting in it's most classic form
SHE LEFT HIM!! 🥳🥳
Eeeeeey, good news for once! Hopefully she has some good support! ☺️
we must destroy the era of talented young female musicians marketing themselves as sexy bc the industry and consumers demand it under the guise that it’s them personally exploring their sexuality or becoming an adult woman etc etc once and for all
“exploring her sexuality” is just code word for she’s of age to become sexualized and sing abt how much men find her sexy. no sensuality. no tender romanticism or tantalizing eroticism. no passionate inner thoughts or feelings. no intimacy. no warmth. just passionless boring descriptions of sex with your average soft-core porn visuals with nice choreography to stimulate the viewers. and “becoming an adult woman in her own way” shouldn’t be synonymous with performing almost every single standard of femininity there is. why is it now that she’s legally an adult that she must become sexy instead of experimenting with her sound, maturing as person, or perfecting her musical craft?
random fun fact: i’m about 5′7.5″. these days i usually say i’m 5′8″, but i used to round down to 5′7″, and let me tell you. this makes men who are rounding up to 5′7″ very angry
a man, obviously more than an inch shorter than me: you can’t be 5′7″ because [voice cracks] i’m 5′7″
I’m 5'7.5 but believed with full confidence that I was 5'6 💀 I was convincing actually 5'7 men that they must be 5'5
Women who do this are great and I love you lol
Holding teenage male r*pists accountable for their actions is a “sick feminist agenda” according to this man. 😒
it’s terrifying that some people agree with him 🤢
Nah they just need their dicks chopped off with a dull knife, that’s all.
Stop giving rapists any type of sympathy. If a man is a rapist, kill him, no questions asked.
Funny how 15 year old males go rape kittens probably still being fed milk by their moms to death to ~deal with their mento illness~ but girls literally don't. But I'm sure it's the fault of muh evil feminazis!
How much y’all want to bet that if a group of teenage girls had tortured a kitten to death literally nobody would be saying it was “mental illness” or giving them sympathy?
Of course, I’m not saying girls should be excused in that situation (before some dumbass accuses me of that). My point is that men will seriously bend over backwards to defend the disgusting behaviors of other men and there will always be a handful of people willing to give men and boys the benefit of the doubt in even the most blatantly evil situations, but that doesn’t happen with women and girls.
men will go "facts over feelings!" and then go through 7 stages of grief when you bring up statistics they don't like
Also even like. Economically. It’s better to give money to poor people. That’s basic Keynesian economics.
Give $600 to someone with no money and they will put it back into the economy, buying groceries, clothes, accommodations, maybe some small luxuries. Give $600 to a rich person and it goes into their bank accounts and just stays there being useless.
If you give a poor person $20, that same $20 will be spent easily 10x over, by 10 different people, in 10 different businesses- within a week.
1- poor guy buys groceries at a local bodega.
2- the bodega owner pays his employees from the cash in the register.
3- bodega employee goes to Starbucks and tips the barista in cash.
4- the barista owes their roommate from lunch last week and pays them back
5- roommate buys something from an indie creator on Etsy
6- Etsy creator splurges on takeout & tips in cash
7- the takeout delivery driver fills up on gas
8- gas station manager (who got paid from the register) takes their kid to the ice cream truck
9- Ice cream truck driver buys a new tire and gets an oil change
10- mechanic gets lunch on a shift
….and so on.
Giving money to poor people is the single best way to stimulate and energize the economy… because poor people do something with money that rich people don’t- THEY FUCKING SPEND IT.
Giving $600 to a poor person is like composting food scraps. It returns nutrients to the economic ecosystem and supports the livelihood of others.
Giving $600 to a rich person is like tossing plastic into the ocean. It’s added to a massive floating garbage patch of corporate wealth. It disrupts the balance of the economic ecosystem, leading to consequences like economic ecosystem collapse.
In a healthy economy, money continues to flow. Rich people are bloodclots.
Billionaires are where money goes to die.
lmao, i’ve never in my life met a single person who was raised by a single mother that was like “but my dad’s really great, but the court is bias against dads” and i’ve met a lot, a lot of people who grew up without fathers, and the overwhelming sentiment is “he’s a piece of shit,” but pleeease go on about how fathers are wrongfully denied custody…..
like fuck you.
*waits patiently for some idiot mra to come along and talk about how his daddy totally wanted him and he spent millions of dollars trying to get custody*
The people in my life who were raised by their fathers often share common stories of being their dad’s financially wearing down their mothers in court proceedings to get custody. Not out of a want to have the kids, but out of a need to spite the mother. To take “ownership” away from her rather than out of a genuinely held belief the kids will be better off.
Men love projection.
also the reason why men “rarely get custody” is because most of the time they agree that the mother should have full custody. they literally don’t even want it yet complain that they do, so they can pretend like courts are biased because of their choices to abandon their children.
“In 51 percent of custody cases, both parents agreed – on their own – that mom become the custodial parent.”
