in that one interview when she said she's far surpassed her dreams and what she thought was possible at this point and is just trying to be a decent person as life takes her places far beyond her expectations yeah i think about that a lot
francesca liking men who are considerate and quiet and women who are vibrant and make her nervous is actually the most accurate bisexual representation i've ever seen
need people to understand 'they don't like black people there!' 'they don't like gay people there!' 'they don't like women there!' applies to the western country you are living in right now
unsettling how the narrative is always "who is the good guy i should root for and who is the bad guy i should boo off the stage" instead of "what actually happened" and "what impact will this case have on the ability of abuse survivors to fend for themselves moving forward"
just found out that over-analyzing and trying to understand the reasoning behind other's behaviors obsessively may indicate a deeper need to heal wounds from being misunderstood in the past like oh ok
abbott elementary is just an uplifting and for fun show but its social commentary about public education is actually so pivotal and important right now and that's my favorite part about it
every time i see this little girl and her sparkly eyes my hatred for this world reaches a boiling point again like how how how could this be her reality
lowkey the first warning that ai was going in this direction was when black people were talking about how ai built on racist data is racist but people were just like ha ha you woke nerds how can a soap dispenser be a bigot
you know maybe that's why i don't take any of this mermaid racism even remotely seriously like mermaids are so inherently caribbean in my mind it's like
barbie isn't just about fashion, she's always been about endless possibility, in our careers, homes, travel, family, self expression, love, activism, and fully being recognized as special for being every aspect of who you are
i love my friendships that hold space for me to be irrational and hurting or spiraling without enabling toxicity or harm like. you really do well to find your people who remind you constantly that your pain is both valid and still not a definition of who you are
nothing is more enticing than someone taking their time courting you and also being consistent and open and noticeably as eager as you are to spend time and yap and show you things
@itgirlenergy
repackaged misogyny thinly veiling jealousy — she's doing just fine even if she isn't topping charts or shocking people! the idea that she doesn't know how to utilize her looks when perhaps she is just doing exactly what she wants is so funny
brown/darkskin actresses to cast as teens since mainstream media likes to pretend it’s difficult to find them...

This series idea is so cute and I know it will make a lot of little girls happy... but this is still plagiarism...? Like, why not just hire black creatives like
@MatthewACherry
...?
i don't feel bad for leaving men lonely anymore because it's like bro you'll be fine. you will absolutely find the sort of safety blanket you're looking for in a woman who will stay yours no matter what you do to her and we both know that woman will never be me...
loneliness sucks. not getting to have as much sex as you want sucks. feeling touch starved and romance deprived sucks! but absolutely none of that compares to the suffering far too many people describe enduring in their relationships... </3
this just makes me so sad like white people really plagiarized his characters down to maddie’s dad having locs and the family having a pet cat... they really couldn’t just come up with a black girl character of their own or just hire a black creator...
i sometimes wonder if some of us have no desire to be mothers but still have strong maternal instincts because we are meant to be something like village matriarchs or to help care for and protect children but not necessarily have our own
life has taught me the cruelest women you'll ever meet are the ones who are deceitful and calculated and more concerned about their reputation than the impact of their behavior, not the women called 'bitchy' for expressing a full range emotions or 'cold' for having boundaries
decentering men isn't denying your feelings for a guy or your concerns about your friends boundaries, my god, decentering men is unpacking the way society places men's humanity above all else, rejecting that shit, & centering women & marginalized gender identities instead of them
you know... i started this video thinking oh duh there were so many signs but by the end of the video i changed my mind. i refuse to blame women for not being sherlock holmes when men like this put such an immense amount effort into emotionally destroying their intimate partners.
is a 40+ woman 'trying to be' sexy or is she just sexy and you recognize it despite your firm belief that aging women should not be sexually enticing to you despite being around their age
what's a forbidden snack from your childhood, but that's an actual food, that you feel like if you ate it now every bloodcell in your adult body would immediately reject it 💀 mine are blues clues applesauce and yogos
i cannot wait for all the black men whose entire rise to fame depended on them being colorist and shitting on black women to start complaining en masse that cancel culture is coming for them too 🙂 like that's right worstie
"i'm a free thinker" "i see through the matrix" "facts don't care about feelings" and then proceeds to regurgitate ideas about our reality from the most traditionalist, conservative, inside-the-box, lens, because they cannot emotionally process the world working in any other way
long term relationships don't have to 'be fairytales' to not be miserable. you can have disagreements with your person, and endure unproductive days, navigate triggers and attachment wounds together, endure sickness, and external stressors, without infidelity abuse or disrespect.
your inner child will be like "i don't feel safe :(" and your inner teenager will be like "don't worry i'll kick everyone's ass no one will hurt you ever again" and then you as an adult have to be like "there is no danger, this is not our past, ass kicking will not be necessary"
exactly, and people wondering where those kids on roblox were getting their information when this generation literally has online friends across the planet who they speak to directly, they don't need an organization to feed them politics, they just care about their roblox friends
it isnt an algorithm thing or a platform thing, it's smartphones and the internet in general. you're losing kids because they can see videos shot by civilians being warcrimed directly, without the corporate media spin previous generations were subject to
the minute i realized how many men look down on women simply for allowing access to them i stopped caring about being viewed by most of them as a frigid bitch LMAO
developing friendships with passionate people who are empathetic and nurturing and remembering that people have taken advantage of that in their past makes my heart so angry
HAPPY LESBIAN DAY! 🧡💗❤️
today is the PERFECT day to get acquainted with the stories, artwork, poetry, books, music, and essays by and for Black sapphics, and examples of true-to-life representation of our experiences — here is a thread of content to check out!
our culture is so follow-fashion and stuck on 'tell me what to consume so i am not seen as bad' that a father simply expressing the nihilistic dread of being reminded that even children's cartoons are not for all children, not for his children, can't even be absorbed as it is
listening to male rap is just realizing while you were growing, recalibrating your world view, reading and learning more about existence, asking the big questions, your faves were just... chilling in their echo chambers repeating the same shit they always do.
