Every time I meet an orange cat I'm like 'aha, I know you are a normal cat, there's no link between intelligence and coat colour and I am not prey to stupid stereotypes' and every single time the cat lets me down by coincidentally being dumb as hell

I've decided to use the term "convenience food" instead of "junk food."

I think it's more honest, and less loaded. It's all food, some of it is more appropriate when you don't have the spoons left for food prep. It takes slightly more energy to peel a banana than to open a bag of chips.

We try to save the convenience food for days when we need something easy, so eat a banana.

ENNH! WRONG ANSWER

All food fuels your body. If it contains calories, it is fuel. Some foods are denser fuels, some foods have nice additional benefits, but all foods fuel you.

Some foods are really good for building muscle, or supporting your bone health, or giving you energy. Some foods are really good at tasting nice. All of them fuel your body.

Good food/bad food is just puritan dichotomous thinking in service of the Shame Industrial Complex- let's get those "should" hooks intob everything you enjoy.

Food is fuel. Your relationship with it is personal. Almost all dichotomies oversimplify beyond utility.

So, I had to do a bunch of therapy as a kid because I had anorexia. My dietician drilled into me "food has no moral value. there's no such thing as Good Food or Bad Food; if it's edible and you're not allergic to it, then it has a use in your diet, even if that use is just 'enjoy eating it'. Enjoyment is part of your diet and happiness is a vital nutrient." Basically, even if ice cream "isn't healthy," if it helps you feel better after a shitty day then it's fulfilling one of your basic needs: happiness. So eat the fucking ice cream and feel better. ENJOYMENT IS PART OF YOUR DIET AND HAPPINESS IS A NUTRIENT

I LOVE being alive so I can be mediocre at SO many different hobbies

imo. if you're an adult and are afraid of becoming an older adult out of some worry that you will lose your joy and sense of self . it is a good idea to make friends with/follow/generally be around people in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and up. nothing quells the reflexive "oh god i'm going to be getting older" thing more than hanging out with people who are older and are just as weird as you, have just as much fun, and are often very happy and fulfilled

This whole semester I've been in a poetry class with poets dealing with poetry and I have no idea what's going on at any point in time. As a prose writer I'm used to being able to point at something and say "This is or isn't working for me for xyz reasons" but the poets are using words like lineation and syntax and enjambment and kinda floating around giving any concrete opinions. Do my poems suck ass or not? I'm so confused.

[what-even-is-thiss]

When poets take fiction courses they tell me that they're confused by how structured the workshop is and I get why now. It's a really weird form of anarchy in there where everyone reads poems by making their voice go down at the end of every line. I feel like I'm gonna float away like a balloon. Where am I? I think after this semester I'm gonna go back to just the fiction workshops and the set format. Everyone says what's working well, everyone gives advice for potential improvement. I think I'm more in my element there. The poets are fun to hang out with though. It's funny to watch them stress out over having to write an entire page of words. They don't know what to do with themselves when they have to write prose. They're so caught up in making everything sound pretty that at times their prose becomes so jam packed with pretty language and metaphor that it's nearly unreadable and I love them for that.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I thought I had a relatively large vocabulary before I took this class. Apparently not. Apparently poets get access to some secret third layer of English that's full of very specific words that your average person can't remember or conceive of after they look at them.

*holds a reporters microphone up to you*

How do you feel about me not using any enjambment here?

If it's called menswear then why do women look better in it

[foundfaker]

it's called menswear because when they see a girl in it they go "DU-DAMN" and their eyes pop out of their skull

“The lesbian femme is the greater mystery. She isn’t about being decorated for men, or the goddess of fertility, or trying to stay young all your life. She’s some other power, some other creativity and life force. She has opened her lace, her legs, her lips. She’s inviting exploration. Go to her now.”

— Judy Grahn, The Butch Frames the Femme Butch/Femme, 1995 (via persistentlyfem)
