Sorella: Show off.

Alex: [laughs] Just because I'm not falling over, doesn't mean I'm showing off.

Sorella: Suppose you weren't doing backflips like he was.

Alex: Very true. He is a massive show off.

Cesar: Next time we're going somewhere with a beach.

Simon: Agreed. And without Envy.

Envy: Alright, I concede. Relaxing would be good.

Sorella: She finally gets with the program.

Takuya: Well everyone is more than welcome to come back to my place. Plenty of space, plus a hot tub. Bring swimsuits. Or not.

[Envy giggles]

Takuya: Shoes are fine inside, I don't care. If you want to shower use the bathroom upstairs. Don't look through any drawers unless you really want to get to know me. Oh and this is Puff. Fuck with her and I'll kick your ass.

Sorella: [excited noises] Oh my god, hello little darling! We're gonna be best friends aren't we??

Alex: That's the fastest I've ever seen her warm up to someone.

Sorella: Cats just know when you're a friend!

was scrolling through my gallery and came across this absolute hair dye tragedy from last year

this is really different than what I post usually but anyways- (images cropped to only show my hair for privacy)

I got my hair dyed on June 21st of 2023, specifically dyeing it a bit darker than the color I actually wanted because I expected it to fade over time and didn't mind having a less pastel color

Only a week later on June 28th, it had already faded to the color I originally wanted! I thought it would then proceed to stay this way and was very happy

On July 4th I leave to go on a trip to Europe through a girl scouts thing. My schedule had been really busy the whole time leading up to this trip, so June 21st was actually the closest date available for me to dye my hair before the trip. Even though it was still fading A LOT, I thought everything was fine and had even made sure that some of the outfits I had packed for this trip would match my new hair color

July 7th I am only 3 days in to a 10-day trip and the pink is so subtle that nobody could see it unless they were specifically trying to

The very next day on July 8th I was so blonde I couldn't even lie to myself about it anymore

I got to have pink hair for a total of 17 DAYS

that's not even a month

I've seen a lot of posts and videos about late gen z and gen alpha and how horrible they are, how they can't read, how all they want to do is use their phones and ipads and they're out of control and rude.

and the blame inevitably goes to land on the parents without much more thought put into it.

I've seen rarely anyone call it what it is, which is a moral panic. that's what it is. I myself am guilty of contributing to this. we blame the parents for "putting an ipad" in the kids face at the first sign of distress without taking a step back to think, "why are these parents having less time to spend educating their children?" we blame teachers for passing students that clearly are not at the required skill level to move to the next grade without stopping to ask "why are we losing passionate educators? why are the ones we have left so overworked?"

it's capitalism btw.

it's not an individual problem, it is systemic.

poor parents, single parents, marginalized parents, all of these are the parents who you are really shaming by refusing to acknowledge that this, just as everything, is a symptom of a greater problem. we know educators aren't making enough; we know educators are leaving the field in droves; we know income, disability, race, et al. are contributing factors to gaining a fruitful education; we know people are working longer and harder than ever for less and less pay.

yet we are unwilling to put these pieces together into the forgone conclusion that there are systemic barriers put into place to prevent future generations from access to quality education. we wring our hands and talk about screentime and social media and how the internet is the problem or the kids are the problem or the bad millennial parents are the problem or tiktok or ipads or lack of discipline or

but we need to stop and think for a moment, because the only thing that benefits from the idea that this burgeoning education problem is a moral failing that the "real" and "good" parents aren't guilty of, rather than the capitalist machine working as intended, is you guessed it, the capitalist system that birthed many of these issues in the first place

2000's animes just hits different,

There's such an inherent beauty to them. So much love in their craft. Their atmosphere, their concepts, their cinematography,.. is something else truly.

There's a lot of beauty in animes nowadays. A lot of blood, sweat and tears spent to create them. And I'm in awe by each of them, even the worst anime has love of the art bleeding through it.

But it's different. Beyond the sword of capital hanging above the industry, there's a distinct lack something. Something with soul. I can't put my finger on it.

Me: *talking about the older Disney Princess movies and how I'm re-watching them* Someone: Oh yeah, but man those older ones, the OG 3? They were horrible representation for wom- Me:

Me: Speak not another word, lest we get thrusted back into the good year of 2014. This is why Frozen gagged y'all, cause people had that antiquated and twisted mindset of something that doesn't exist.

hi! could you inform me on what a bi lesbian is? don’t mean to come off as rude and you’re not obligated to explain if you want to, but if you could redirect me to some resourced pls do, i’m curious and have seen this term one or two times before! i tried looking but almost everything ive seen either has a confusing definition or is negative, and i’d like to educate myself if possible. ty! :D

hi, tysm for the ask! while im definitely not the guy to speak for all mspec lesbians, i can definitely try my best to help you :]

mspec lesbians are when a person identifies as a lesbian while simultaneously being attracted to other genders, hence the "multi spectrum" (mspec) part of the term. i myself am a bi lesbian, so im just going to use that as an example, but there are also pan lesbians, omni lesbians, it goes on. (there are also mspec gays, but people dont seem too pressed about them, and im not gay, so i wont speak on them.)

there are a lot of reasons someone could identify as a bi lesbian, like if theyre romantically a lesbian while being bi*sexual*, or a bi person with a preference towards women. personally, while i do think lesbianism inherently includes nonbinary people (speaking *as* a nonbinary lesbian), my attraction to nbs is separate enough to warrant the label for both mine and other nbs' comfort. (also i think some guys are attractive lol). but it does vary from person to person!

as for the history, bi people using lesbian as an umbrella term (much like, for example, a bi guy calling themself gay) since *at least* the 70s.

and as for resources, heres a really helpful carrd i found, as well as just going through the 'mspec lesbian' tag on tumblr has quite a few good posts about the historical usage of the label!

also um. sorry for giving you an entire essay (hyperbole) lol, queer identities and history are a pretty big interest of mine XP

i hate my best friend earlier i was like "im scared that this guy likes me bc he said something that i would only say to people who i like, but i recognize thats its a normal ass thing to say anyway and i rationally know he does not like me, but still, my brain decided to play with that concept and made me have a terrible nightmare the other night about it and now im subconsciously scared that he will like me ( with the underlying concept of "i am scared of men")" and shell go ohohioo what if youre projecting and its actually YOU that likes him. ????? bitch did you not hear the part about having a dream where he abused me or ...?sometimes being asexual is a nightmare nobody gets it
