Always Almost Perfect

-

Spending my entire life

Being ripped apart.

If I could just fix this,

I'd be lovable.

If I could just hold my breath longer,

Hold my shoulders back further,

Hold my head higher-

I'd find

"Love".

And then when I did find connection,

He took a blade to my body.

I had no reason to struggle.

If I could just change this,

I'd be loved.

And then you.

You showed up out of nowhere,

Pulled me from the massacre with

Flowers

In your goddamned hands.

You touched my curves gently.

Not despite them,

But because of them.

Every flinch,

You'd pause,

Every time I'd hide,

You'd frown.

What the fuck is that supposed to be?

I've never felt like a caged dog,

Afraid of being pet,

Until you told me you loved me.

I've never felt like a wounded soldier,

Still holding her weapon,

Until you stood before my blade-

Ready to die,

And called me beautiful.

I've never been beautiful.

There's always something to chase,

A new size,

A new shape-

Yet you pull me from those tendencies.

You hold me in your lap.

You rip me down to the most vulnerable parts,

And even those,

Even those.

You long for?

There's not enough poetry,

About never being taught

About unconditional love.

And maybe it makes me weak to admit it,

But maybe.

Maybe I'm afraid.

pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc

against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.

more good news from tiktok: they’ve started blocking celebrities.

they’re calling it block party 2024. just blocking and ignoring countless celebrities who havent said shit about palestine. influencers, actors, anyone who went to the met gala, whatever, they’re getting blocked. and people keep talking about how cathartic it is, how good it feels, how they never realized they could DO that. there was some kind of subconscious law against blocking famous people, but it’s broken, and people are LOVING it. and it’s WORKING. a social media/digital advertising coordinator was talking about how ad companies are PANICKING, because they can’t accurately target anymore. so many big influencers, including fucking LIZZO started talking about palestine the MOMENT their follower counts started going down. and the best part? no one is forgiving them. lizzo posted a tiktok asking people to donate to palestinian families, and all the comments just said you’re a multimillionaire. put your money where your mouth is. blocked.

i feel like i’m witnessing the downfall of celebrity culture, right here right now. people are waking up.

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

the way people online talk about autism is getting really weird, like do they know that neurotypicals still have interests? that someone being passionate about a hobby doesn't mean they're autistic? you guys know that right

Spotify wrapped is normally released on a November 30 or December 1 but this year it was released on November 29, the International Day of Solidarity with Palestinian People- a day which it was asked for people to increase their social media posts about Palestine to help call for a permanent ceasefire. Instead it is now being overshadowed by people posting about Spotify wrapped…
