Them doing to squid game the same thing they did to the hunger games by commodifying, monetizing, and editing it’s messages to make it more marketable for resale through merch and spin-off content is some kind of symbolism of the machine of capitalism operating in consistent patterns to get the same results because it’s working and ya :/
God, I'm such an idiot.
y‘know the fact that elon musk still hasn’t said anything abt Perseverance and Ingenuity, not even a simple “good job nasa”, really gives you a look into his priorities. his whole thing is being obsessed w getting 2 mars, right?? so you’d think he’d be stoked abt the new rovers landing on mars, right?? clearly not. he doesn’t really want to get to mars for science, he wants to get to mars so he can capitalize on it first.
Recently the deodorant company Secret has been advertising an all body deodorant and the commercials specifically target women and people with vaginas suggesting that the deodorant should be used to cover up vaginal odor. This is an incredibly sexist advertisement as it suggests people with vaginas are dirty for producing natural odors. Their advertisement prays on the fears of afab people that their vaginas are dirty for having a natural smell and uses social pressure to push their product. The rhetoric around vaginal odor is incredibly harmful seeing as most products that attempt to cover or diminish that odor actually harm the vaginal biome. Afab people are constantly being told that they need to change the natural rhythms of their bodies to appease a patriarchal society that wants them to appear infantile: several other analyses of the patriarchal control over afab peoples’ bodies point out that things such as growing hair, gaining weight, and having a period, all of which are signs of being postpubescent, are things the patriarchy has deemed unacceptable. The ideal body of an afab person under the patriarchy is prepubescent, which is horrific in itself, and Secrets campaign against vaginal odor is another way of wielding the power of patriarchy for capitalism. By suggesting afab people are dirty for having naturally occurring odors that begin happening after puberty Secret is attempting to leverage patriarchal power through fear tactics to sell their product and make the very group they are oppressing pay for it. They are not the first company to do this as the same thing happened with shaving companies in the 1920s when they sold the rhetoric that it was unhygienic for women to have body hair. I believe a boycott of this product is necessary so as to avoid giving the movement any more traction
I'm not. Adequate.
While attacking people may not be the best way to deal with conflict, it's understandable. It doesn't mean you need to isolate yourself. If Rags is upset, apologize and try to help. Roo, it's not the end. You're not making everything worse. -IA
You don't understand. I can't be selfish and want something I can't have, and when I'm with Rags and Rae, I do. So I need her to leave me.
Roo, if you'd like, I could help you read. -Jeanne Norton
I know how to read!
Ma taught me after I moved in. I've been texting for a while.
Fuck you.
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.
Fuck. You.
This is why you're an asshole. I somehow have more emotional maturity than you.
