I know this might be a bit of a hot take on the anti-makeup webbed site, but I think an under-discussed area of the whole "drag queen story hour" or all-ages drag shows or just anything that exposes kids to drag queens is exposing kids to what makeup CAN be

Growing up, makeup was always something that I viewed through a very straightforward, somewhat misogynistic lens. Makeup was perfectly matched foundation to smooth out your face and hide any pores, mascara to extend your lashes but not make the TOO dramatic, neutral eyeliner and eye shadow to emphasize your eyes. Nothing to make a statement, nothing more than the most basic of basics

In short, its only goal was to make you look conventionally attractive, to cater to society's idea of what women "should" look like. Men didn't wear makeup, either

I think that's a common image of makeup growing up, because that's what we see most often around us. On the faces of mothers and teachers and any woman around us

And then you put drag makeup in the mix

Drag makeup is loud and bold and exaggerated, colorful and stark and in your face. It defies every possible limitation society sets on makeup, from color palettes to gender. There's issues with beauty standards in drag, yes, but even those standards are pretty far outside the norm

And hot take, but I think this is something we should ABSOLUTELY exposing kids to. We should 100% be showing them that makeup isn't just something for conforming to society's idea of what a pretty woman should be like, but a tool of self-expression for all genders. To show it as an art form rather than a way to make yourself the most palatable version of yourself

Does this mean I think makeup should be mandatory, or that I'm casting judgement on women who wear basic makeup? Obviously not. But I think it helps a lot to expand what makeup CAN be in the minds of everyone, but children especially

Hey folks I’m watching House. I’m about 7 episodes in. When will they explain why Wilson follows House around like the specter of a dead wife determined to keep her widowed husband interested in living?

I find it very offensive that the more unwell you are, the more things you have to do to maintain your health. Things like following special diets, going to medical appointments, making big and important decisions about what treatments to use. At the same time, the more unwell you are the less energy you have to do all of these extra things. It seems grossly unfair.

i think it's funny when people say "yeah the writers use they/them for this character but that doesn't necessarily mean the character is nonbinary" because i guess it's true but by that logic i can say "yeah this character is referred to with he/him but they never say he's a man so i can do whatever i want" which i may actually start doing because it sounds based as fuck. if you want me to believe that action hero is a man maybe you should've been more direct about it smh.

i think all straight people should try being a little bisexual just to see how they feel about it. i dont even mean physically i just mean like. stare a photos of hot men for a bit. watch gay porn. deeply consider the potential of reconnecting with your childhood best friend who you kind of lost touch with despite how close you used to be, leading to a long slowburn romance in which you rediscover the things you love about eachother but don't want to commit in case it ruins your friendship. its called exploring your options ok.

I made this so now all y'all have to look at it.

"Your love language is what you were deprived of as a child" actually no you're allowed to want, prefer and like things without everything tracing back to some dormant unprocessed trauma. You can just say you want to bounce on it without having to explain how as a child you always wanted - but never got - a trampoline.

seeing all the 14-17 y/o queer kids who don’t know what v for vendetta is…. u mean the blockbuster film written by two trans women about a masked vigilante who decides to singlehandedly take down a fascist alternate version of england set in the distant year of 2020… and his driving force was getting justice for a lesbian who he never met but whose diary he found, who was separated from her wife before being killed by said fascist gov…. and it stars natalie portman…. okay
