cuzzos!!!
yes being a teenage girl can be incredibly alienating and lonely and searching for an identity through self-expression can help with that but my god if i was 15 and the entire internet was telling me i needed to be a clean girl or a vanilla girl or a coquette girl or a coastal girl that i should wear gold hoops and slicked back hair and an oversized blazer that i should buy matching pink workout sets to be a pilates princess that i should get a 400 dollar ralph lauren sweater for the ‘old money’ aesthetic that a nose job is a rite of passage that buccal fat removal is a great idea that the kardashians are removing their bbls and heroin chic is back that i need to dissect every single aspect of my personality and make sure it conforms to a label just to make me more palatable and more cute and more trendy i think i’d run into the woods and never come back
More people should abandon Internet discourse and get into observing/engaging with local politics. I say this not because local politics often offers more meaningful opportunities for effective praxis (although it does), but because local politics often offers just as much highly toxic and entertaining petty drama.
I highly recommend city council meetings. You might make yourself an informed voter and active community member or something. You also might get to watch an ongoing soap opera of old men ready to murder one another over trash collection ordinances, and unlike the Internet, none of them can effectually tell one another to kill themselves no matter how hard and how clearly they are thinking it.
i am NOT gaslighting you. i am lying to you. gaslighting implies a level of effort that i am simply not putting in. deceiving you does not require much
What if we just started digging a huge hole
What if we just killed anyone who came near our hole
when people act like Large Beverages are the thing thats wrong with america as if thats not the only thing keeping me from driving off a cliff… ohhhh Those greedy americans slonking away at their Large Beverages. we’re literally all working in the hamburger mine to afford rock and roll disc . Beverage is all we have
let’s say that being hot as a form of empowerment for all women could even be a thing. let’s say it’s possible to look hot for yourself and not for men. where did your idea of hotness come from? why is it important to you to look hot? who decides what’s hot? why must you change something about yourself or cover something about yourself to get hot? what makes you not hot at your most unmanicured state? why? how did you know what to do to get hot? do the people around you view hotness in the same way?
ALSO people can accept theoretically that beauty standards are inherently racist and anti-semitic yet cannot then apply that to the idea that placing value in your looks is not going to be empowering for all women? you got a nose job “for you.” okay. so why? what about YOUR nose needed to be fixed? and where did that idea come from?
Hate diet culture so much bitches will b like “don’t eat processed carbs they’re so bad for you” like and??? So what?? God did not give us grain and stone to grind it with for no reason. Bread is inevitable. Bread is food for the heart and the soul. U think I’m gonna give that up in pursuit of instagram fitness?? U think I’m gonna deny myself the simple pleasure of toast with jam so I can endlessly chase an ever-shifting standard of beauty that ultimately means nothing? In 20 years I will no longer be beautiful and in 60 my body will be vacant food for other, smaller creatures. But the taste of fresh bread? Of homemade donuts and still-warm pie? I will carry the taste on my tongue into whatever follows this life. So like. Stop telling me I should diet lmao. I’m not abt to martyr myself just to get a man to look at me.
