Spent tonight talking to a lovely married lesbian couple who have been together for roughly 10 years. They didn't meet until they were in their late 40s and mid 50s respectively, long after they had both given up on the idea of marriage at all--after decades spent thinking they'd never be able to legally get married, anyway. One of the women saw her wife at a coffeeshop one day, and realized she frequented it around the same time every week. So she went there at that time, every week, just hoping to catch a glimpse of her. Until finally one day they were standing close enough to strike up a conversation. I think these days, there's so much pressure to live your life as quickly as possible. To be kissed by a certain age. To have sex. To fall in love and get married and have kids. The older we get without having done these things, the more worried we become that we'll never do them at all. (And some of us won't, and that will be fine, and we will be happier for it.) But it's nice to be reminded sometimes, that there's no expiration date for falling in love. Maybe you'll find the love of your life on a dating app when you're in your early 20s. And maybe you'll find the love of your life when you think your loving days are over, admiring them from across a coffeeshop, hoping they come say hello.

Having ADHD is so fun because sometimes youre looking for something that you use regularly and definitely put away in a smart and reasonable place and you have absolutely 0 hope of remembering where and finding it. And then other times ur like "hmm I need a some kind of small pointed object. I feel like i remember seeing a paperclip under the left couch cushion a month ago, i wonder if its still there" and it is

soooo much of the modern conception of gender is based around products and consumerism that people can’t even identify actual misogyny anymore. People reply to posts “It’s sexist to hate on something so many women enjoy” and that something would be a Stanley cup

You know what really fucking Annoys Me about internet censorship is stuff like swear words being heavily censored because that's entirely an American cultural hangup being forced on the rest of us. I don't know a single country where swearing is as taboo as it is in America. In fact most languages have swear words that would have the same effect on an American as giving a Victorian chimney sweep a pepsi max cherry.

I don’t regret being optimistic, by the way. I will never regret thinking better of people than maybe they deserve. I don’t know how thinking the worst of everyone always makes the world a better place.

sometimes i wish i could tell other women that you can just stop removing your body hair and in many cases the consequences will be way less severe than u expect. you can go to the beach with all your leg hair intact and nobody will stop you or say a thing. you can stop waxing your upper lip and people won’t stare at it the way u might be bracing yourself for. you can quit plucking your brows and eventually they will grow back into themselves and no one will even notice. like for sure women are punished for not participating in beauty rituals but i also feel like so much of it is like The Panopticon sometimes where you just convince yourself that if u stop that kind of gendered upkeep everyone will be mad and stop talking to u forever when in reality you just keep existing and nothing remarkable happens. it’s not always easy but you can kind of just stop for real
