we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don't find it realistic because we're pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen

also of course please do tell us if you've actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote

suddenly imagining "burst into song" as a potential response

#gonna be honest i would have to get closer to comprehend what i was actually seeing #so probably get closer look at it a bit then i might like throw up rlly bad

i think its so funny that alumni from schools like harvard and columbia that were there during the protests in the 60s-80s are expressing support for students currently protesting against the genocide in palestine, and random zionists that were NOT at these protests in the 60s-80s have the never ending audacity to tell these alumni "well thats different, what you protested was good and what they're protesting is bad." as if protesters against the vietnam war and apartheid south africa were not also demonized, arrested, brutalized, and even killed for their activism. history only remembers them fondly after the damage has already been done.

campus food is literally why I do not eat for most of the day anymore. it's so expensive and so fucking low quality. a can of spaghettios is at least $3.45, a can of vienna sausages is about the same, they change the food court every semester now and the one place that's consistent is getting more expensive and getting lower quality. I paid $13 for a sushi roll and a drink and got through about half of the roll before I couldn't stand the taste of the imitation crab they used for it bc they got a kind that tastes terrible. and the cafeteria is expensive and terrible quality, the only things I can eat there sensory wise are the burgers and fries and occasionally their pizza doesn't look horrible but I wouldn't even know because getting 2 people in there takes $22 flat. and meal plans are ridiculous. I know this sounds like I just need to get over myself but it's miserable trying to fend off my mental issues around food while the food is being made inaccessible to me slowly but surely.

#i wish i had energy to make food at home more often #between being broke and being tired all the fucking time with no answer for it is so exhausting. #sometimes its easier to just not eat anything. genuinely. and i wish it wasnt.

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.

painting abstracts is so humiliating because people ask what they mean or why you make them & you have to say "i like to look at them :-)"

#yeah pensive emoji. sometimes i just like looking at things

Thing is, I'm not just anti-fatphobia as in "I don't want people to be mean to fat people"

I am pro fat liberation as in "I want to dismantle the systemic biases against fat people and the diet culture and medical industrial complex that feeds into the very real systemic oppression that fat people face"

I don't see fatphobia as a mere interpersonal issue where if you are being nice to fat people or saying things in a polite way to them you're automatically free of fatphobia. I see it as essential to challenge every bit of diet culture myth that we might encounter and break the unscientific ideas of "health" as defines by weight, fat, calories, bmi, and other nonsense. I see it as essential to view fatphobia as the political issue it is and take it seriously as such, and to unlearn and help others unlearn oppressive baseless ideas we have assumed to be true and natural.

i think all of taylor swift's new songs are like reminiscent of AI usage but also sound like a 14 year old girl who just learned what poetry is and is trying her best but severely missing the mark. it is so bad. so, so, so bad. i cannot express how much i wish she had just kept that project under wraps. i dont even think a lot of swifties are big fans of it this time around. to call all of her music vapid is, in my mind, bordering on some forms of misogyny, however i feel 'vapid' is one of the most fitting words for the tortured poets album. swifties how are y'all out here defending this. are you not exhausted.

#this is a very not pro swift page but i have to give it to the swifties. yall are out here defending the least defendable woman ever. #its okay to take a nap sometimes. please.
