simply the fact that different body types for women go in and out of style throughout the decades should be enough to tell you that women’s bodies are considered consumable goods under capitalism

What they don’t tell you is the more specialized you become in an academic niche, the more opportunities you have for the general public to tell you they know more than you and that you’re wrong about the subject you specialize in/an idiot/a liar/a pharmaceutical industry plant for big lyme disease

I just went through 20 notebooks and 1800+ loose-leaf pages of written notes from medical school.... I recycled them because I didn't want them and now I realize nobody will ever believe I hand wrote that many notes

i cannot overstate how good it feels to watch older movies where the actors were still allowed to look kinda weird and not be conventionally attractive. like it is genuinely healing

reminder to visit museums, even if you feel out of place. you feel out of place because there is an established concept of inaccessibility of "high culture" to the masses, purposefully developed to distinguish between social classes.

take up space, read the plaques, get the audioguides. you are just as entitled and right in being there. visit museums, boycott museums, be expressive about your opinions about museums.

a lot of museums are free, or discounted for youth and students. take advantage of that. check your local art museum. check your local history museum. museums are there for you, they are there to educate the public, not to distinguish between class. it isn't a private collection, it's a public exhibit.

GO TO MUSEUMS!!!!!!!

That bittersweet moment of wishing my dad was there was reminiscent of my wedding day, and the ceremony itself felt strange- almost dream like. This was the hardest thing I've ever done (next to being with my dad as he passed away), and it feels like the hard work has only just started.
