the trash heap has spoken!

(she/her) various sludge, including but not limited to: shakespeare, poetry, hozier, gardening, classic lit, queerness, and 90s tv references :)

You have to let people love you. You have to let people get to know you. You have to let people help you. Being so completely selfless that you try to erase yourself off the face of the planet and never ask for anything and reject everybody's offers of support makes you very hard to love! Unfortunately. Emptying yourself out of everything that makes you, you is not actually what your loved ones want from you, generally. They want to make you happy! They will be so so sad if you don't give them the chance. It's not all selfish. I promise.

devastated to report that in the french translation of hamlet that i have, horatio uses a very proper formal “vous” for the prince up until the MOMENT hamlet dies, where he sneaks in a little “te” for “and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest”

limes are like if lemons knew how to love without wanting anything in return. a lemon wants some sugar or some fish or some hot soup and only then it gives you a pat on the back and sees you as an equal. but limes grace you no matter what. always welcome in my water and my greens and sodas i love you kind and gentle life

Pdf of The Question of Palestine by Edward Said

[junglejim4322]

This is seriously one of the most important landmark writings on palestine and I recommend especially people who feel like they don’t have a full grasp on history and context in the area to read it. As far as I remember it’s a very easy read too

All of the gay people in America moved to Idaho, then kicked out the cishets and renamed it to Yassachusetts. Whenever there was an election it would be listed as a rainbow state instead of red or blue.

[clara-the-cat]

I've actually been thinking about if it's possible to have an entire demographic of people move into a low population state and out vote their original population to take over their government

Like, the electoral college gives disproportionately more power to smaller states, so what if we just started invading those states to gain more power on the national scale?

Not to mention Congressional elections...

[yourlocaljezebel]

actually not an Idaho girl any more but a Yassachusettsan

popular culture used to be very much about eroticism. rockstars used to be on stage in sequins and thongs and thigh high boots playing guitars like they were masturbating. girls used to wear velvet mini dresses and no bras and red-brick-brown lipstick and mascara on their bottom lashes. people used to have body hair on television and in the movies. people used to be sweaty. people used to touch each other over denim and under cotton. foreplay used to be staring at someone over the rim of a glass across a bar across a park across a dinner table. people used to want. i think we’ve lost something

the “humans are inherently selfish” fanclub can genuinely and in all honesty go to hell. i once came back from a school yard where the kids had heaped piles of leaves and cut wildflowers on a narrow strip of grass bc a bee had died. i actually want to cry.

when i was a child, my parents told me our houseplant would die of lack of sunlight. i was so young i don’t even remember this, but apparently, my response to this was starting to carry the plant around like an emotional support stuffed animal. whenever my family went outside i would hold the pot on my head to make it reach the sun better. i wasn’t in school yet, didn’t have any exposure to the lessons on caring they give in elementary, i don’t remember my thought process - but i can guess. kids integrally care about things, even tiny bugs and inanimate plants. humans care.

[karadin]

don’t let them beat it out of you

[petrichara]

You’ve got to remember things can always be better. You’ve got to remember people can do good and be good. Don’t lose it, don’t let them get away with cruelty. There is goodness

[millenianthemums]

diet culture people make me feel like i’m going crazy. you want me to take an experimental pill that destroys my appetite?? you want me to remove part of my stomach??? you want me to stop eating bread and rice, two of the staple foods most inherent to humanity????? why exactly? because my stomach is big? because you don’t like the way i look, and you think it’s reasonable to tell me to carve pieces off of myself and try random drugs and ruin my own life so i can look more visually pleasing to you? and you somehow don’t see how absurdly cruel and selfish that is to ask of somebody???? while pretending you care about their HEALTH????????????????? FUCK YOU!!!!
