“Sabrina Carpenter’s album cover is degrading and dangerous.”

This is slut shaming. You’re all so shamelessly sex negative that when you see a straight person having sex and talking about it you shit your collective jorts in rage.

No matter what, what is happening here is that a woman is expressing her sexuality and OTHER WOMEN are saying she’s “wAlKiNg BaCk FeMiNiSm” because of it. Jesus fucking Christ we’re so cooked. Jesus fucking Christ.

That's not dirty depression hair that's a carefully curated, slicked back style achieved with a very specific hair product to purposefully a) signal queerness b) attract women and c) stay out of her face when she eats pussy

that's the hair of someone who eats out

what they don't tell you about making friends is you gotta be a lil annoying. you gotta push past the fear of "what if they don't want to talk to me" and simply ask someone how their day is going, send a meme. you cannot connect to people if you're both just awkwardly waiting for the other to start.

Pretending you're fine when people cross your boundaries doesn't make you a really nice person, it just makes you a really shitty communicator. Far too many people pride themselves on being "too nice" when it's just that they have zero conflict resolution skills and will seethe in resentment for months instead of articulating the problem
