I'm just going to say it - body hair (and beauty standards in general) is truly one of the final frontiers of women's issues in the West. Too many women just love their gilded cage too much. It shocks me how virulently women will defend it. I barely open my mouth and the "well I like how it feels. it just makes me feel cleaner. sensory issues. I do it for me. feminism is about choosing (to conform)." brigade come rushing in by the dozens.

Well I don't like how it feels. I don't feel cleaner without body hair. I don't prefer not having body hair. But who will advocate for women like me, but me? For women who do like hair removal, they are advocated for every time they step out of the house and see 99% of the female population also conforming to that standard, or when they watch a movie and see all the shaved actresses, or view an advertisment, or open a magazine, or watch a music video, or scroll through social media, or walk down the streets without receiving insults and glares for having a completely normal bodily feature.

You genuinely can't even point out that hairlessness is a man-made standard without women losing their shit and acting like they are totally immune to propaganda they've been exposed to from birth. I'm so tired.

I need to stop replying to “how do you make friends in your 30s?” threads because all my answers boil down to “you have to want to know people instead of have friends” and I don’t think people wanna hear that

[bluering8]

listen to me, this is so so important: you've gotta get used to really giving it your 60% as a default. like don't half-ass it necessarily but try not to go over 70% or so of an ass. you'll feel better and live a happier more fulfilled life, and on the rare occasions where you do need to lock the fuck in you'll be able to pull off bullshit that the sad miserable wretches giving it their 100% can never dream off, because they're busy draining themselves dry and you have energy reserves to spare.

This is actually what I was adviced to do at the work rehabilitation program I went to. Hasn't left my mind since. 10/10 solid advice

I’m glad that OP:

1) Figured this out.

2) Shared so others can learn from their mistake.

I made a grimoire to hold my tiny e-reader and MP3 player (an XTEINK X4 with Crosspoint flashed to it and a Sony NW-A55 Walkman respectively)

Note: the ereader attaches magnetically, it's not just gently balanced atop

With sustained effort I will eventually replicate an incredibly bulky smartphone nobody can contact me on

Got this thing out on the 1 and was drawn into conversation with my seatmate about it such that I did not get to read. She thinks her 15 year old would like it. I wrote her a note with the device name + firmware name + epub organizing software name

ngl the latest patches really leaning into the "the wol could be a monster, actually. If they'd want to be. They kinda are already." angle feels very good considering how angry some ppl have been when I as much as voiced that thought before. lmao.

like i really want them to start exploring the "what are you?" that keeps getting asked and how it's always used with horror
