idk if this is just me but i can't tell you anything about the height of anyone who's not within like one inch of my height except that they're shorter than me or taller than me. my friends in high school had this elaborate thing happening around height order and i was just like, wait, you guys aren't all exactly the same height??? which i had to stop asking because it offended them. but in my defense if they weren't all the same height why were they always trying to prove who was taller. i have a friend who is considered by her family to be tall and when she told me this i had to very diplomatically not make my eyeballs into question marks because i had always classed her as "one of the short ones". i've since determined she is in fact taller than the average american woman but i'm just like. okay but the average american woman is short though.

I am obviously sad but not at all surprised that Warrior Nun got cancelled, I already knew it was coming, but that fact is what makes the whole thing even sadder in my opinion, the fact that most of us already know what to expect every single time we're handed anything decent, at this point we only get crumbs here and there and even then we need to keep low expectations because there's no safety, at any time it could be taken from us and thrown out like garbage
Lesbians have always been marginalized and sexualized, we see that in lots of movies where all they show is constant sex and cheating and fighting with a extremely dramatic ending, there's rarely a light movie like those cliche straight ones, and we see that irl when parents freak out and threatens everyone involved in the making of a cartoon where 2 girls like each other and do nothing more than a little kiss, which is something kids see all the time everywhere in the real world and in cartoons/shows/movies but it's only ok if it's straight people doing it (and I see that in my own house, have had that experience myself, heard horrible words about "exposing" kids to those things...) We can also see it in the entertainment industry, we're nothing but products to sell to straight man, only to them, and if they don't like it then it can be thrown out and let's call the next option, it's never about us and that gets more and more obvious with each cancellation
We get the bare minimum every single time, sometimes we only get the idea (they write a extremely gay character just to get us to watch but never really give us any gay content) cause they know we're starved and lots of us will take anything just to see ourselves somewhere for a bit
We're not people to them, we get no respect from those who claim to be on our side, good creators either get no opportunities or are handed a very small space inside that also gets taken away from them as soon as they got what they consider to be enough money out of it, just so they can claim they're *super inclusive* or whatever
This is clearly personal, lesbians deserve better than this shit that is being handed to us, times have changed but there's still a long way to go and regardless of how tired we get, I'm sure we won't give up cause we're not asking for much, only for what's our right
