everytime i’m faced with wild overt misogyny that’s just platformed like it’s nothing i remind myself that people don’t actually have to feel this way about women. men are fully capable of treating women like human beings and viewing them as such. “but socialization but male fantasies but patriatchy speaks through us even when we don’t recognize it” sure but actually regardless there exist men who are fundamentally not raging misogynists and they generally seem happier and better adjusted. misogyny to me isn’t disappointing because “oh i can’t believe Men, as an essentialized category of person, are like this” it’s disappointing because people make the choice to be like this. “it’s my biological imperative as a man to dominate you” okay well it’s my biological imperative as a freaky bitch to dominate you so what now. what biological imperative is making you comment “onlyfans detected opinion rejected” on every picture of any attractive woman. i think i will always be understood by most people as a woman and i’m learning to accept that and trying to like it but misogyny makes me feel very trapped of course. but misogyny is a choice. which means some people make the choice to be misogynistic which is profoundly frustrating. but many other people choose not to be actively misogynistic and i believe anyone could choose not to be actively misogynistic if they wanted. so it’s a whole thing

my social circles are so queer/queer-accepting that i genuinely forget homophobia exists sometimes

Got hit with the realization today that some of the kids I’ve been teaching this summer were born in 2020 and I just had to sit there and think about that for a minute

okay so I know i didnt hear it from you... BUT WHAT STREAMS DO YOU HAVE REASON TL BELIEVE LANDO WAS HIGH?!?!?!?!?! i am so cursor
i mean aside from a veiled comment from carlos once about lando bringing something redacted to the party which implied it was drugs, theres this one specific stream (the one in which lando is wearing that blue dior hoodie if ur curious) where lando multiple times starts hysterically laughing about things that are Not that funny, mentions to chat that his eyes are red, AND orders one (1) portion of sweet and sour chicken with SEVENTEEN (17) spring rolls (no rice!!) as his takeaway dinner, then eats the entire thing on stream. and the whole time max has the same like just low thrumming annoyance that i get around my stoner friends when they invite me over to hang out but get too high and become incoherent
that being said despite initially becoming pretty much convinced that lando mustve been high on that stream, i calculated it & it wouldve been like 5 days or so away from the first session of his following race weekend? which would make it quite risky considering weed stays in ur system for weeks. i rmbr going on a deep dive abt substance regulations in f1 and coming to the hesitant conclusion that weed rules are slightly more lenient now for athletes in general than they used to back in the early 2000s. that said there is still a (pretty big tbh) possibility lando was not in fact smoking & is just Like That. so like for sure dont take my word as fact - it just like. if u accept it as a headcanon then it retrospectively makes a lot of things abt the woking household make more sense

u ever jump to a highly specific but batshit insane conclusion about something that literally anyone else in the world who does not have your specific trauma and experiences would not have jumped to in a million years and you just kinda have to sit with that like damn that was a really in-character moment for me and I don’t like it

TODAY I LEARNED THAT AT THE START OF THE PANDEMIC, BEN DROWNED FINALLY GOT ITS PART 3.
once again I am like years late to the news/party but mfer I was there when Alex was working on part 3 to be a forum and video game ARG combo experience omfg. Those forums are long gone, wiped off the internet, but damn!! He really said "oh, I have time to do this now" and fcking finished it while I wasn't looking.
He also used AI image generators for the process so it's a monkey's paw situation for me but still. dang.

I can’t remember the last time I felt this much anxiety as just now when I was reading the last chapter of A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes...
Like, the switch from cottagecore-level daydreams of the future to a fucking hunter/prey thriller is instant and unpredictable and I will need 3-5 business days to recover

idk if I just cannot access my emotions fully or if there isn't anything there to access in the first place. brains are weird. emotions are weird. I'm not smart enough to understand the intricacies.
