a queer love story about two Mexican boys that had the misfortune of being released right in the middle of the strikes because the movie hasn’t gotten any promo (because it can’t) and no one but the fans of the books are watching it
I am begging y’all to go watch Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe before it leaves theaters (which will be very soon)

women really do need better class consciousness.
before you are religious, before you are a citizen of your nation, before you are anything else; you are a woman. your identity is complex but womahood is one of its first pillars. and womanhood is so important because so strictly tied, during her whole existence, to her implications: the ability to reproduce and the relative independence (ie: not having to desperately find another mate to pass on your genes + developing a physiological selectiveness) coming from it. female objectification, sex work, misogyny, female modesty, FGM, everything that hurts women stems from it. males want to control women sexuality because of it. it is therefore natural that womanhood is ontologically more important than any other label - because if you neglect it, others will surely not.

you know how to ball i know aristotle // mattheo riddle x fem ravenclaw reader
playlist: so highschool - taylor swift
summary: you and mattheo always made an unlikely pair , he was so sporty and adventurous- and flying on a broom was your worst nightmare, yet you fit together so perfectly.
y/n used , fluff , established relationship , short
masterlist
"just get on y/n," mattheo sighed , watching you judgingly as you cross your arms and shake your head aggressively.
"im not getting on that thing id rather die!" you argued back as your stubborn words make mattheo role his eyes.
"its just a broom y/n and you know id never let you get hurt!" he defended himself as you simply stared back , not moving an inch.
"well i dont get why we're here anyways , you dont have a quidditch match coming up and i dont fly!" you sighed.
"i just wanted you to give it a go with me , it could be fun- you wont know until you try!" mattheo exclaimed , his quiet frustration growing.
"mattheo , hun - i love you - but its not happening." you stated as the boy groaned and threw his arms up in anger.
"fine! what else do you want to do?!"
the smirk that carved itself onto your face made mattheos heart drop and his thoughts race , "oh no".
----
"y/n if you read one more theory that i dont understand im gonna go voluntarily talk to snape!" mattheo ranted , his head in his hands on the library table.
"mattheo , you asked what else i wanted to do? aristotle is to me , what quidditch is to you." you grinned , enjoying the boys tortured groan after he tried to get you to fly hundreds of feet into the sky for 'fun'.
"who the fuck is aristotle? should i be jealous?" mattheo asked curiously , assuming it was some kind of muggle popstar.
"if we were in like 340BC , maybe!" you laughed at him as he glared at you , biting back a laugh aswell.
"i just dont get how this is fun for you , we have built a wall of books that you havent even gotten halfway though yet - and you havent even had a break. this is my definition of hell!" mattheo rambled on as you simply shrugged , eyes still glued to your book.
"now you know how i felt about nearly being dragged up to be with the gods!"
"oh come on , the hoops are like 150 feet off the ground youre so dramatic!" mattheo laughed.
"hm, and you wouldnt have me any other way!" you teased , finally looking at him with a smug grin.
"no , youre right , i wouldnt." he smiled back , kissing your lips softly.
"i bet that felt better than us reading aristotle." mattheo smirked.
"sure , did it feel better than me riding your broo-" you quickly stopped yourself as mattheo burst out laughing , your cheeks reddening , "yeah i realised that one too late."
