not to sound like I’m dooming but sometimes it feels like being a woman is just being made a commodity in different ways. Anywhere I turn, I’m a commodity. There’s no way out of here. It’s like I was designed to be consumed

one thing about me i’m the leaver. i will leave

we are the daughters of the women you couldn’t sell to one direction

we’ve got to get rid of this mindset that a woman’s sole purpose on this earth is to be a wife and pop out as many babies as possible. To be a spouse and a parent, whether spiritually or physically is the calling put on everyone’s life. We weren’t created to contribute to some population quota, we were created out of love. Our sole purpose on this earth is to love, to do everything in love, to love others, to be loved. It is the first and greatest commandment, to love Love Itself, for a REASON and to subscribe to and perpetuate the notion that women’s sole purpose is to be stay at home mothers and wives and that women shouldn’t be in the workplace or voting is taking what the Lord made (loving women) and twisting it to make it women a commodity

told my friends in a Catholic discord server that I was starting my first job in my field tomorrow and several men tried to convince me to get married as soon as possible and then leave the workforce to be a trad wife. Good Lord it would be better received to publicly confess all the sins I’ve ever committed in my life than to say that I want to work

they told us at my new hire onboarding that we were allowed (I’m a teacher) to put bumper stickers supporting a political candidate and I thought to myself why on earth would I deface my personal property by saying I support a candidate. Just because I vote for them does not mean I support them. Choosing the lesser of the two evils is still choosing an evil

dumbledore hiding that Harry was a horcrux (however you spell it) would have come as such a worse betrayal if Richard Harris hadn’t passed and was able to have played Dumbledore to the end like holy shit man can you imagine

acting is an art form which means that it is something that is so deeply personal to that actor. To splice together interviews or clips or scenes from other works posthumously (or worse—using AI) and CGIing their face onto another actor who has to resemble them at least a little bit is disrespectful to both the deceased actor and the actor in place of the deceased actor. Why can’t the character be recast, you have no idea how that actor would have played that scene themselves and there’s a perfectly good actor right there who can play the scene

is this a safe space to say that I find posthumously inserting an actor’s likeness into a character they played while alive incredibly disrespectful to the memory of that actor and their craft

when my older sister moved out of her college apartment we all came up and helped her and did it the week of graduation

I’m packing up my college apartment by myself which sounds sad but it means I don’t have to answer the questions about “are you sure you want to get rid of that?”

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

So rude that you can’t say “okay, I’m done thinking about that” and then actually stop thinking about it

that hotel california comic makes me lose my shit every single time & i’m so thankful for it honestly

Neither enemies to lovers nor slow burn but a secret third thing called Schrödinger's intimacy. We are in love and we are not in love do NOT open that lid I swear to God.

rewatching Harry Potter from the beginning and when Filch says there’s a student out of bed Snape hauls ass to the library faster than I’ve ever gone to break up a fight
