ballet is so funny bc they will be like ”oh the ballerina is retiring… this is her farewell before she goes off to greener pastures to spend the rest of her days… she has worked a long career and has earned her rest…” and she will be like 31 and opera is so funny bc they will be like ”hes a promising young bass!!! just starting out all wide eyed and bushy tailed!! we’re excited to see where his career will go” and he will be like 47
I hate the trend of just describing books with what minorities the main characters represent and nothing else. not only does it feel weird + exploitative to me it's also such a shoddy ineffective marketing technique. "this is my book with queer polyam disabled vampires you should buy it" ok great but what is it like. about. what are the themes. why should I read it
I love Jackie bc she represents the fear of trying, always trying and never being able to adapt when things get really hard or start to majorly change. Helplessly feeling yourself become useless, resented, a burden where you used to be a pillar. Giving up on yourself because everyone else is giving up on you. The idea of trying so hard to matter, to still matter, but in the end your absence from the story is the thing that really ends up mattering - the empty space you leave behind. Also she's hot and swagless
"girl dinner is when you don't eat teehee" "men think about the roman empire women think about their ex best friends and poetry" "✨sapphic love✨ is so pure and innocent and sweet unlike nasty gross Man Lust" "girl math is when you can buy starbucks and makeup because you didn't buy it yesterday so it's free" "I'm going to explain (complex topic) for the girlies! so basically it's like when you go shopping-" "I love women because they're so soft and smooth and feminine and we can talk about girly things and they're not sweaty or hairy or horny like gross men" "women should be unemployed girls don't need jobs men should do all that for us" "ugh girls that don't like pink or being feminine just need to stop being such pick mes and get over their internalized misogyny it's gross"
god save my hairy dyke ass from this hell before I start whacking people's shins with my Girl Baseball Bat. teehee!
