personally I'm annoyed by the socioeconomic conditions that made words like "unalive" necessary but simultaneously impressed by the linguistic adaptations young people have made to continue talking about important things while subject to those conditions and I think if you can't hold both of those thoughts in your head you might just be old man yelling at cloud

this fuck ass kitten somehow got behind the kitchen cabinet built into the wall and INTO THE WALL . i got him out with funny toy on stick and shredded chicken but i got so scared i almost threw up and now the entire house must be babyproofed

so when i got my e-bike it couldn't be delivered to me for some reason it got stuck at a random package warehouse 90% of the way on its route to me. so i had to go on this arduous, like genuinely awful journey to get it that took like 8 hours by bus in the end. anyway then i got it and the bus driver was like "you cant bring a package that big on the bus" and i was like SO fair so the bus left and i opened the bike there at the bus stop and assembled it completely in the hour between the buses. i had to rip every single bit of the huge box it came in and all the inside packaging to BITS. to literally SHREDS. to fit in a little public trashcan because i had no other option. then when the next bus came i put it all on the bike rack and took the bus yay.

so anyway today i was back at that very bus stop with my bike

and i looked at my bike and for a moment felt like it was some sort of animal like maybe a dog and i thought absurdly awww, this is where you were born!

Hey, just in case nobody's ever told you, you can just live with your friends. I don't mean as a temporary roommate situation until you get a better job or a romantic partner; you can do it forever if you want to. Like, I know my view is a little scewed here because I'm aroace, but you can't convince me that most people's lives wouldn't be vastly improved by living with a tight-knit group of people that all love and care about and support each other. You don't have to live alone! You don't have to live alone with your partner either! If the only thing stopping you is societal convention, then fuck it!! Break free of your chains!!! Do whatever you want forever!!!!

sometimes i’ll read a post that’s abt the politics of desirability. fat-phobia, colorism, ableism particularly and without fail…a light skinnned person or a skinny person or an able bodied person will hop on and obfuscate the point. and basically say “this is made up. you sound bitter. you’re just jealous and i’m actually the victim.”

and not even notice the cognitive dissonance of like acknowledging that they benefit from being seen as desirable while claiming victimization by the mean “ugly” people. like the suggestion that fat people or dark skin people or disabled people are bitter and jealous of you is an admission that you understand that there are politics of desirability. pack it up, girl!
