Nostalgia is like hey remember that time in your life when you were unbearably sad and angry all the time? What if you weren't? What if you actually miss it? What if magnolia trees never smell like that again?

I occasionally follow Hot Makeup Babes on Instagram because my little sister is really into makeup and I wanna know what the latest goops and powders are, I wanna know what's hip, I wanna know what the cool kids are smearing on their eyelids so I don't buy her something cringe, and sometimes the Hot Makeup Babes will follow me back and it's really funny because I only use my Instagram to post vintage deer figurines I buy at the thrift store.

if she's ur girl, why is she commenting "omggg no way my grandma had that" on my novelty tea set 😏

if you hired a galapagos finch as a linecook it would perfectly evolve a beak to optimally smoke cigarettes behind the dumpsters

T-shirt that says “I understand the themes and characterization of media I like, sometimes I just make jokes”

once a post goes over a certain number of notes people stop being able to be funny or interesting and just make the same bad joke or misunderstand the post. unfortunately for each post this number is randomly generated and cannot be predicted. sometimes its as low as 1

Hey. People in my inbox saying you relate with intersex experiences because you were put on hormones as a kid for a hormonal condition.

Perisex people aren't put on hormones as children for a hormonal condition. You are intersex. You've been told your intersex traits are a disorder and you have been deprived of your community. I encourage you to learn more about the intersex community and participate if you'd like to. This community saved me.

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

Nobody wants to admit ageism is a real thing but if you like look around at how (capitalist) society treats the elderly it's kind of insane actually. Especially if you take into account intersections of misogyny and racism & how nearly all of them are disabled in some way. Some ostensibly progressive white kid will be talking about "ugh I hate old people" cause they think they're all bigots or whatever but you gotta stop projecting your issues with, like, uncle dale being weird at thanksgiving dinner. Yknow. Old people are just people who got older

A tip for excellent writing I just learned: Don't introduce a character with their Dramatic Backstory. It makes readers go "oh alright this is the Dramatic Background Story Character" and establishes a baseline of Tragic, either for the story as a whole or this character in particular. With no contrast of light and dark, pure darkness isn't impactful, it just looks like the absence of anything to look at.

If you really want someone's dramatic backstory to hit the audience like a gut punch, let them get to know the character first. That way the dark backstory doesn't come off as a description of who they are, but an explanation to why they are the way they are. Bonus points for connecting it to something that's already been established as a part of the character - what a devastating blow to suddenly put together that hold on, that funny quirky thing that they always do is a fucking trauma response.

I just feel like most if not all queer in-fighting could be resolved if everyone stopped feeling attacked when people in the same group as them described different experiences than their own

The whole anti trans talking point about saving women's sports for #feminism is crazy to me, it's so obvious none of these people know the history of women's sports. They literally exist because men felt upset and emasculated when women would beat them in co-ed sports. So women were banned from sports and only allowed to participate in their own sectioned off teams and events. Upholding that isn't all that feminist honestly.

The physical ability of athletes is not as dependent on sex traits as anyone in these discussions thinks it is, men are just encouraged to participate in sports far more so than women are. Many decades ago, male athletes did not perform nearly as good as the ones competing today; to the point your average modern professional female athlete could blow their numbers out of the water. Were these men just "biologically inferior"? No, that's stupid. They just weren't training the same way. The nature of professional sports is to Do Better Than The Last Guy. So yeah obviously, modern athletes that beat these records are going to be more physically capable than the ones of decades & centuries past. Female athletes are the same way, women have just been at this professional sports thing for much less time in comparison to men, and in smaller numbers, due to differing social pressures.

And every "biological advantage" that can be attributed to biological differences linked to sex traits shouldn't be considered differently from "biological advantages" between people with similar sex traits. Michael Phelps definitely has a biological advantage over other men but nobody's pissed off about him succeeding. The point of professional sports like this is to see what the human body is capable of. I dunno how to tell this to TERFs but sports are inherently unfair because of that. Some people just got lucky genetics and have crazy potential to be good at physically intensive activities, regardless of their sex traits.

It is not trans & intersex people's fault TERFs view being strong and fast and fit as inherently unfeminine.
