“What I feel for you can’t be conveyed in phrasal combinations; It either screams out loud or stays painfully silent but I promise — it beats words. It beats worlds.”

Katherine Mansfield

No bc Dream Girl Evil coming right after Girls Against God is so. There's an artifice to DGE and maybe I'm just not used to Florence Being Sexy (as opposed to Being Horny, which is what Bedroom Hymns was, and was another thing entirely) and it's also 90% just my state of mind rn but DGE coming straight after the song which opens with "What a thing to admit that when someone looks at me with real love I don't like it very much it kind of makes me feel like I'm being crushed", going from "crying into cereal at midnight" to "walk on water just to kiss me"... it's SUCH a shift and it feels like the personification of the seesaw ego of the artist or that thing where you're simultaneously a mess and the sexiest woman alive, and after "a golden heart or a golden voice", DGE feels like putting up this sexy, unattainable persona so that no one will get close enough to you to create the claustrophobia to "real love". It's like she's saying "you thought I was nice? FUCK YOU I'm evil and I'm not perfect like you thought I was" to a person who just wants to go on a second date. This is just my current state of mind talking now, but that song being where it is adds this layer of accusing someone of idealising you when they actually have a very accurate idea of your beauty and your flaws, but you just find it so difficult to believe anyone could ever really love you if they knew what a bad person you were. It's Florence (or the speaker, really) dragging out this "don't come crying/I am nobody's moral centre" in response to nobody morally centring you, it's creating a femme fatale of herself just so that she can slip away into the night and tell herself that they femme fatale'd her so it was never going to work out anyway. You know? Sometimes a super sexy persona has nothing to do with getting laid and everything to do with everyone looking at you while being too intimidated to actually talk to you which saves you having to talk to them.

in yet another failure to care about people sensitive to flashing, the new Scream movie ad includes aggressive flashing within a second of the ad starting. It seems to just be in the usual format of an ad, not one that haunts the background, but if you see the below at the top of an ad

go ahead and either exit the app or close your eyes and scroll. I was not able to get a screenshot of how the whole ad starts as there is, again, less than a second before the flashing starts.

really loving how people stopped caring about flash sensitivities lmao

anyway you should reblog this to warn your followers as well, I'd rather as few people have this violent surprise as possible

obsessed where stories where it is like. the mistakes are unfixable and the worst thing that could happen happened and nothing can go back to how it was. but there was still love in this and love will continue after this and love endures always.

The reason Poles on here are trying to get you to call Maria Skłodowska*-Curie by her proper name isn't because we're entitled or arrogant, it's because she used the name Skłodowska-Curie, she emphasised her Polishness her whole life, she faced huge amounts of xenophobia in France for being Polish, and now a lot of people think she was French.

*The pronounciation of Skłodowska is skwo-DOV-ska

One of our siblings was murdered recently, and you need to know about it.

TW // transphobia and violence against trans people

Brianna Ghey was a 16-year-old trans girl from Warrington, England. On Saturday, February 11th 2023, Brianna was found dead on the side of a park with multiple stab wounds. Two 15-year-olds have been taken into custody in connection with her murder.

People in the Warrington area have alleged that Brianna was being bullied in school, and that neither the administration nor the police did anything.

Despite this, local police have said there is no evidence that the attack was hate-based and most news articles don't mention her status as a trans woman. This is deliberate. This is genocide by the hands of transphobes and TERFs.

Britain does not have gender self-identification (your legal gender being determined by how you identify and not any arbitrary medical requirements), meaning even in her death she will be deadnamed and misgendered on her death certificate.

She deserved so much better.

Mourn the dead, and fight like hell for the living.

one day i'll live in a little house with a little yard and i'll have native grasses and shrubs and a little garden and little solar panels on the roof and i'll write my little books and i'll make my little games and i'll have all my friends over for little parties and maybe it won't be much and maybe it won't be forever but it will matter

this is so so important to me and mine, and I'm asking you to Do Something so I'll respect your time and keep it brief

in the UK, if 100k sign a a government petition it will be brought to Parliament and debated. y'all know this country is suffering from some 80s-style bigotry right now, and this is one symptom: almost 200k fuckholes have come together to force the government to discuss whether it is 'appropriate' to tell children that queer people exist. this is a big symbolic victory for them. and i am burning with fury.

please, if you're from the UK, sign this counter-petition so they can at least see how much of a minority they are. simply put, the attempt to put these bastards in their place isn't gathering enough steam. there are barely 2000 more signatures now than there were this morning (27th January 2023), and that isn't enough. i refuse to let these people feel even a moment of victory or satisfaction. please help.
