"guys" i have a crush on who are my age: two breaths away from coming out as trans women

guys i have a crush on who are not my age at all: always into some shit like film photography, cooking unnecessarily elaborate food, fixed gear bicycles, making his own oil paint, etc, want him to be my meow meow and to bring me fancy cheese and wine

a couple weeks ago i had a bad critique with a professor who told me to get looser with my art one week and then tighter the next and was kind of adversarial and difficult, and we’ve since gotten back to being normal and good, but one of my friends was like “oh that’s the class with the professor who told you to get sloppy and then to get tight?” and i was like dude oh my god i wish i could hear those words in another context i wish i were getting tight sloppy but instead i’m getting this damn art degree

how to psychically blast a message to everyone in my dorm that they need to stop using such revolting detergents and dryer sheets because the “clean linen” scented fumes seem to go straight into my room and they make me actually feel sick

Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?

fascinated by an instagram post i just saw about how it’s ok for your weight to fluctuate because “this is me in the gym one week and me the next” like it’s actually so bizarre to me that you could even be so aware of how your body looks. i’m not unaware of my body i would say i’m actually quite aware of what i needs or how i’m doing on any given day. but i would not notice a week to week change like this. even if it were on video. this is strange

“I hate school I’m sorry Malala”- Funny yet poignant. Acknowledges both the difficulty of the task and the fact that doing that task is a privilege. Gives credit to the people who fought for that privilege with a tongue in cheek acknowledgement of the irony of the initial statement

“I’m just a girl I should be home baking bread not doing calculus” - at best historically uninformed at worst leaps decades back in time. Refusal to acknowledge the charged history of education and slights the centuries of women’s labor it took to reach this point
