thinking abt when i appreciate someone else paying my way, vs. when it puts my back up a little, and i think the difference comes down to: does the person doing it respect my need for agency enough to have sought my consent to it first, or are they just shaping the situation the way they think, benevolently but bullishly, that it should go, even in the face of my protests?
#like—there's just SO much stuff abt gender and power &c &c &c bound up in money‚ obviously#and it's just like. when cis men in partic. do the paternalistic thing‚ even when they mean really well‚ it's VERY easy for it to feel like#congrats‚ you've now been forcibly cast in the role of the woman from baby it's cold outside! :)#which is like. not that fun for anyone who doesn't enjoy 50s roleplay#but perhaps a little extra unfun for those of us chafing at‚ not just the benevolent sexism‚ but the girlbox more broadly

You should look for and seek help from friends and other people close to you, but to hear someone is having a good time and basically get so sad about it right then and there you drag them down? That's not helping anyone, especially not yourself :(
So, see a post? Go talk to a friend! You don't need to get it out right then and there under the post, have a little patience and it'll pay off yeah? Talking to a friend will hopefully actually help you, and it won't hurt anyone either.
i really dont want to come off as an asshole and act like im not sympathetic but i think the idea that it is an appropriate thing to do to respond to posts about about positive experiences made by strangers with long and graphic vents about how your own life is nothing like that really has to end. i’m very sorry you’re going through that. but it’s just. really not appropriate.

HEY. PSA. SPREAD THIS ONE.
this is a discord scam that can seriously fuck you up and make you lose your account if you don't realize it. Please make sure all your friends know about this in case it ever happens to them. Someone close to me almost lost an account to this and it was one of the most devastating things we've ever been through together. Spread the word, stay safe, don't fall for it.
REPORTS ARE A LONG, INTENDED PROCESS. YOU CAN'T FUCK IT UP. DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
and remember
ANYONE YOU KNOW COULD HAVE BEEN HACKED TOO. ALL IT TAKES IS ONE LINK SOMETIMES. NEVER TRUST THIS MESSAGE.
other hacked messages exist, just try your best to notice when your friend is talking in a way that feels strange, and never trust something like this from someone you don't really know. If you care about the person, mention they need to enable 2 factor authentication before the hacker blocks you and reach out to them in other ways to let them know if needed.

OH man i cleaned one of the stove hood vent filters (gonna do the other one soon, i'm not a monster) and uh. i can report the 'soak in boiling water + ¼ cup baking soda + a lil dish soap for like 15-30 mins and then scrub with a scrub brush' method is ime quite effective but. HOLY shit let's not talk about how dirty they were to start with 😬😬😬
like honestly i don't know how anyone actually keeps a clean house—when you start taking stock of all of the things you theoretically Ought to be doing on a regular basis to Maintain Yr Space to a Hygienic Standard it's like. that's a(n exhausting) full-time job! i discovered these filters actually have stamped on them 'clean in hot detergent solution every month' and like. ahaha. every month???? you could have a full gcal just keeping track of all the stuff yr supposed to Clean Regularly. so much laundry. let's not even talk abt mopping my nemesis. absolutely nuts 2 me.
#like yeah okay this would probably be quicker to do if i did it on the reg#and WILL definitely be quicker now that i have the method worked out and the supplies in place—had to buy a scrub brush#but like. jesus. does Not spark joy!!#mundanities#domesticities#journaling#(also obviously no one likes cleaning and it's not any one gender's job or any one gender's jam but like.#DOES spark bad girlbox feelings tbh even though my dad did as much cleaning as my mother when i was growing up if not more)#(so it's extra stupid but. unfortunately still there.)

For not suffering with gimp (for more professional/complex use cases at least, for simple things its perfectly fine), pirate photoshop 2022. Krita is a very good art program no complaints there. LibreOffice is pretty good but it's not as straightforward to do the same things MS office can in some cases (general use is pretty damn similar), in which case you can also pirate older versions of MS office (like 2016). Putting this out there for those who just don't have the time or energy and can't easily adapt to a new piece of software. Firefox also has a relatively robust PDF viewer with simple editing features for adding text and drawing.
oops whats this link for
Adobe is going to spy on your projects. This is insane.

i do miss the trend of "girlboxers" in the early 00s when you could go into any store and find fun, short boxers that fit wide hips at cheap prices. i had soooo many as a teen from new look and primark and it was just totally normal but i got such gender euphoria from it even though i didn't know that's what it was. like for gender reasons i wanna wear boxers sometimes but regular ones are always SO long on me cause i'm so short and its like i'm wearing fuckin long johns or one of those fuckin victorian swimsuits. now it feels like i can only find them from fuckin speciality brands for £15 a pair or from dodgy dropshippers on amazon. naur.

this is such a real and infuriating issue—the fact that female athletes have actually gotten fined for wanting to wear actual clothing while competing, and not just underwear, is absurd and enraging—but i really wish people wouldn't react to it, as the linked article does twice, by turning around and making claims about a need for 'women's specific design,' as if all women were the same shape???
i mean, setting my actual gender identity aside for a moment, i'm afab with a totally endogenous hormonal situation, so from a binarist perspective on physical sex, i get shoved into the girlbox without any real hesitation—and yet i not infrequently find men's clothing a better fit than women's, because my shoulders are broader, my ribcage wider, and (of late) my waist-to-hip ratio smaller than women's clothing tends to expect; and because i find pressure on my abdomen uncomfortable, i've been very grateful to be able to ignore womenswear's turn to high-waisted pants, and stick with midrise menswear.
i could list more examples, just drawing on my own physique and the physiques of cis people i know, but i'll spare you—really my point is just, i wish we were better at the kind of feminism that reacted to gendered inequalities by making more space for individual people and individual preferences, instead of falling back into the trap that says women deserve special consideration because they're a special case. women aren't an asterisk; they're an enormous swath of the spectrum called humanity, and there's variance within that swath just as there's variance within any subset of humanity you care to define.
#genuinely this IS just my personal pet peeve and the article deserves yr consideration separate from my complaints here#bc holy shit is this issue of women's athletic uniforms a serious and maddening one#but it's just like. it's a fucking terrible defense to fall back on this idea that 'actually women should get Women-Oriented Treatment'#when in fact in many cases what's being complained of here IS Women-Oriented Treatment‚ aka: sexism#being like 'well we like sexism as long as it's the benevolent kind that says we're special with special curves' is not the solution#not to constantly be referring back to gawain/ragnell but actually what women and other gender minorities need is: choice#don't give me Woman-Shaped Pants‚ give me my pick of all the pants that are on the market!#and frankly the article even touches on that—there's a bit in it about the brooklyn liberty‚ a wnba team whose uniform has options#of shorts with three different lengths‚ and jerseys with different necklines#and how having those options 'allows you to be who you want to be'#so it's like. you get it‚ ms. friedman! you wrote it!#now just unpack yr reflexive conditioning that wants to fall back on these objectively inaccurate claims of universal dimorphism!

Or they're too lazy to google it, but either way they wanna hear it from you :3
I feel like a lot of people dont pick up on that: when youre texting with someone and they ask you a question theyre probably very much aware that they can simply google it. The reason theyre asking you instead is because they like talking with you and want you to explain it instead

PR ep 6 play-by-play
ohhellow I’m back and I promise to actually go to bed after this instead of get distracted for two hours (it is currently 2:45 am) please wish me luck
oh man I just wonder what the joke is gonna be what could possibly happen while the bullies are holding cream pies I just couldn’t tell you
so it’s Gordor (X), Baboo (V), splat? (X), F1nnster (V), and Rita (V)
THERE”S A FOURTH PERSON IN THE BULLY BRIGADE NOW????!? Man they’re really making their own power rangers over there
I like how the secondary bullies weren’t paid to speak
WOw first time she’s doing something actually malicious on an international level! Rita causes world hunger girlbox queen pop
someone was paid to do that
oh god the man who did 3000 barbell lifts is gonna rip off someone’s head with fucking sausage link nunchucks
this si the worst
alright so the principal is another antagonist entirely
honey you really think that that fuckin weirdo can eat the WORLD’s food in 48 hours???!?!? Without getting shot?!????????????
I love Kim using her bow like it’s a sword like no
what the hell?
why did it teleport them???
WAIT> WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE> THEY MADE A CREATURE THATS SUPPOSED TO EAT THE _WHOLE EARTH_S FOOD AND IT HATES VEGETABLES??!!?!?!?!?!? SO WE”RE NOT LOSING “ALL FOOD ON EARTH” JUST ALL FOOD EXCEPT VEGGIES (IN ALL THEIR FORMS)?????????!?!?!
Like I get it a HUGE chunk of the population is dying from that but. We still have farms. I’m pretty sure we’d still have the still-living animals. I’m pretty sure we’d still have a lot of the ‘fake’ meat in it’s pre-converted forms. It’s not “all food forever”
oh wait no. You just let me hear the pig go “ew yucky” at a veggie-main meal, and then show me a table of completely raw veggies root or otherwise, and I was supposed to get “spicy” from that. Well there will still be people thriving if only spicy stuff (and the not-yet-food) lasted
ooooh are we doing a no megamorph ep? I’d kinda been hoping for one of those
cool that was nice I’m gonna listen to ONE goodnight song and then go to bed
