finding enough plastic in human brains to make a spoon is certainly a shocking headline but I just don't have it in me to be shocked anymore. not only can I see the evidence of spoon brain all around me I can literally feel it in myself

dunno why i stopped buying only black shoes. that made my life much easier. fewer belts, too. i’ve been feeling crushed under the weight of owning things lately and i think if i only had black shoes again i might feel better. but then again. might not be the shoes

"imagine them in their underwear" is weird sanitised advice for people who think the most debased thing someone can be is naked, but not so naked that they're morally discomforting. what you have to do, if you want stage presence, is imagine them as your soulless undead army

today i finally got around to altering a pair of pants i’ve been really wanting to wear! i’ve been missing out on personal projects a lot because i have a nutso busy schedule this semester but i gotta give myself a win sometimes. the miasma (being trans in present day america) can’t get to me, not in my new pants

i found a black leather jacket at the reuse free store on campus and it’s slightly too big for me (but not enough to be oversized and cool) and the thread dry rotted :( :( i looked so tough and hot for a second there

some quilts by Jonathan Shannon (1938–2016) photographed at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles

Canciones de Mi Padre, 1989

From My Garden of Earthly Delights, 1992

Amigos Muertos, 1994. Rejected from the American Quilter's Society show due to the inclusion of Shannon's red AIDS ribbon (left skeleton). Shannon had won Best in Show the year before. Shannon organized protest letters as a result and made some impact on the issue of censorship in quilting.

Shadows: Gay Men's Chorus, 1995

really heavily reject this idea that just by virtue of being oppressed you understand everything about all types of oppression, and that reading theory is unnecessary or is something that unoppressed people do to make themselves feel good. do not fall for this trap. you need to be reading . you need to be learning. your own ideas are good but they can only carry you so far. learn from others.

forever shocked by how much college students hate acknowledging their friend groups may include different socioeconomic backgrounds. people actually act like you’ve accused them of personally murdering babies if you say something like “your family has more money than mine”

I feel like normies think of tumblr as the fanart and aesthetic and gifset website but real tumblrinas know that our most culturally significant output and our lifeblood is the humble text post

diet talk is so inexpressibly nonsensical the instant you know anything about "the human body" or "nutrition" or if you think about it for three seconds
