roe v. wade

one of the most upsetting things about roe v wade being overturned is that its not "about the children". if it was "about the children" then a small child wouldn't have to die because their parents went into crippling debt and couldn't afford to pay for their ridiculously expensive healthcare treatment. if it was " about the children" more kids wouldn't be gunned down every day by school shooters, hiding under classroom desks and shaking in fear when they should be learning and having fun. make universal healthcare a thing and make guns illegal and then you can talk about how banning abortion is "about the children".

roe v wade being overturned is messed up on so many levels. women will die and literally no one cares. we're going back in time, and i am genuinely terrified for what will happen next.

been reading up on jeffrey epstein and prince andrew lately, and im just...not feeling very kindly...towards straight white rich middle aged men right now. like jeffrey epstein got 13 fucking months of what was basically house arrest, and he still got to go out to work and do shopping and stuff like.

no offence but if you have the money to fix issues like world hunger, climate change or other things like that, it's kinda your duty as a citizen of planet earth to fix them. like i get that you worked hard for that money and no one can force you to do anything you don't want to or whatever but...you could just...do it. i mean you're still going to be set up for life if you do.

safe and in danger

I just had a very random and irrelevant thought, that I'm gonna post because why not, and its that seeing a lighthouse is probably one of the only times when you are both safe and in danger. Because a lighthouse tells you there are rocks, which means you are in danger from them, but it also makes you aware of those rocks, and helps you see them, which means you're safer then you were before. And then I was thinking about how this applies to life, and I thought that, when you're in an abusive relationship, the moment you realise you're in an abusive relationship, it will help you realise you have to leave, which means you're safer then you were before. And being safe doesn't stop you from being in danger, but it makes you aware, and although that can be scary, I think it's better to be safer and scared, than oblivious and in danger.

celeb photos on Google

Do you think celebrities ever look themselves up on Google and get really pissed off because the main photo that comes up is a bad one? Do you think they're like " oh come on, that is a such a shitty picture I mean I'm literally blinking why couldn't they have chosen the one from the Oscar's, why did it have to be the Golden Globes damn it!" or are they like " dude... you can see my spots and my hair looks greasy af what the hell Google" because sometimes I look someone up and see the pictures and I'm just like" they could have chosen a lot better one for you, I'm sorry man"

friendly reminder

friendly reminder that when Merope Gaunt used a love potion in order to make Tom Riddle fall in love with her, and then conceived a child with him... that's sexual assault

will smith

The fact that the whole Will Smith v Chris Rock altercation happened less than 24 hours ago, and yet is already a thriving meme, is just a wonderful example of how little this generation cares. I love it <3

friendly reminder

just a friendly reminder that men are also sexualised in comic books and other media texts, it just isn't talked about as much because its the male gaze

Describing race in books

OK so i was just thinking about the massive rise of POC in YA books*applause* which is great, and i was also thinking about how i find it annoying when authors describe a character by first and foremost stating their race, e.g. a small Indian man, a tall black girl etc, etc, but then I realised: thats not whats irritating. There's nothing racist about describing someone using their race, as long as you don't then rely on stereotypes for the rest of the characters description, or make it their only defining feature. Whats irritating is that the only time ive ever seen a character described as white right off the bat( excluding "she was pale with shock", or something like that) is in a missing persons report in a murder mystery book or similar. And that is because, in an upsettingly large number of media texts, white is seen as the default race or skin colour, so authors literally HAVE to describe a characters race straight away, or people will literally assume they're white. Now, I'm white, and I don't claim to know a huge amount about racism, or oppression, or the politics surrounding either subject. Maybe i only assume characters are white because of my own skin colour, but i still think what i say is kinda true, at least about the "no character being described as white" thing. I mean, for all i know, literally no one else is offended or annoyed by this, but i just thought id make a post about it, albeit a very long one(sorry), and see what other peoples opinions are. So, thoughts?

Unpopular opinion

Circe is better than The Song of Achilles. Don’t get me wrong, I love both books sosososo much, and I constantly recommend them to friends, but.. idk, maybe its just that tsoa is super popular and you see it legit everywhere, whilst Circe’s a bit overlooked. I just think that although tsoa is a beautiful love story, and if you’re more into that than it’s totally fine, but it’s basically just that. A love story. And like I said, thts fine, and this is 100% just my opinion, but Circe just speaks to me a bit more. Probs just because its a literal feminist masterpiece, but I just feel like its a bit more gritty, and deep, and intense, compared to tsoa, not to mention its way less sugarcoated. Cos lets be real, tsoa is pretty sugarcoated, and it kinda romanticises stuff like rape, forced marriage, and other (mainly women’s) issues in a way that kinda annoys me. Once again, I still love tsoa tons, and they’re both incredible books, and madeline miller is a great writer, this is just my opinion pls don’t get angry or anything, just thought I’d say what I thought. Sorry for the unnecessarily long post!
