Tonight I finished some school work and I watched Labyrinth and I read Kate's book

I actually read more than a paragraph without spacing out and it was nice even though it made me sad

and last night I watched the whole of The History Boys because I realised at 11:30 I'd never seen the ending

the last two nights have been good to me I am sad but I did things that made my heart smile even if they didn't reach my head.

KELIXIR SAID: I THINK THESE PEOPLE’S POINT IS THAT SEX WORK IS BASED ON V DEGRADING/OBJECTIFYING VIEWS OF WOMEN

okay sorry this in caps i copypasted it from my blog, the person didn't actually say this in caps

___

well pretty much anything can be? women are degraded and objectified on a mass scale no matter the industry

sex workers aren't responsible for this, the problem is misogyny which exists whether or not sex work does

and if you compare it to other forms of work, it's like blaming someone who works for wal mart stocking shelves for "perpetuating" the evils of wal mart and capitalism

yes, capitalism is bad as is misogyny but the people oppressed by those structures are not the ones to blame for it's existence, least of all when they are forced to participate in these structures to survive

I loved your post about love vs lust in ASIB; I do have a question, though. You said, "Irene attempts at the end to take advantage of his feelings for her, pleading with him that it was just a game, that it doesn’t mean she doesn’t actually care for him." I thought it meant the opposite: she did love him, Sherlock knows because of her password, and she's trying to tell him, "this is just part of the game" (i.e. my love for you is not real). Thoughts?

That’s certainly a way to interpret it, but I think by that point, even Irene knew it was too late to convince Sherlock that her attraction to him wasn’t in part real. She seemed to think that the proof Sherlock offered was pretty damning, and even if not, the way she responded to it certainly was. Before, when she was trying to convince Sherlock it wasn’t real, her expressions were light and mocking. When she says “this is just part of the game” however, it is fearful.

No, I think in that moment, Irene, being someone who is skilled at manipulating emotions, would think that her best bet is to use Sherlock’s genuine feelings for her against him, as she has successfully done all along. But Sherlock is not as naive as she, Moriarty, Mycroft, or even John believes, and so she fails.

If you’re still convinced it’s the other way around though, I’d love to hear your explanation. Also, it’s not completely relevant, but this follow-up post I wrote to “Love vs. Lust” might also make my position a bit more clear.

Thank you for the question!

kelixir replied to your post: My mother just told me that it was really nice to...

I don’t think of myself as a particularly violent person but I do want to slap your mother a little bit. That’s ridiculous. Please, please don’t let these things hurt you. You looked wonderful in your graduation pictures - so radiant and lovely.

Today I've managed to reach a state of just feeling sorry for her because she wastes so much time and energy on focusing on something that's not really that important. Yes, I am looking forwards to going back to the gym and zumba and getting my fitness back but it's never going to be the sole focus of my life and it's never going to be in pursuit of a 'perfect' figure, or any figure at all really. If my body decides it wants to drop 20 lbs then that's great, if it decides it wants to stay the same weight then that's also great. The first option would mean I could return to wearing a couple of favourite things I've kept 'just in case' but if I never get to wear them it's not a big deal.

I loved graduation and I love the pictures and I felt really pretty and having a thinner face, or being thinner in general, wouldn't have changed any of that. Unfortunately she's stuck in the absolutely classic 'confusing thinness with health' and nothing I do or say would get her out of that.
