#and also patently untrue

hmm may elaborate later but uh. modern western feminist theory, starting from suffragettes has been based primarily on white women's experiences with white men, specifically upper class white women, and this has severely negatively impacted how people view gender and sexism and the place of men in the world. and intersectional feminism is only starting to untangle this deeply rooted knot

#m. #also gender is such an expansive extensive category #that most generalized statements arent just generalized but patently untrue for a large amount of ppl in that category

the whole topic of porn "addiction" is kind of fascinating because as an exmormon i did know some people who actively struggled with it but i also am like. just about certain that this "addiction" wouldn't really be a thing if these people weren't so fucking repressed in the first place.

i'm too sleepy to articulate my thoughts as well as i'd like, but truly, from experience: your brain goes really fucking crazy when you're sexually repressed to that extent.

it's not an "addiction" in any kind of usual sense, but it's like... human brains tend to fixate on whatever things are not allowed, and sexuality — and expression/exploration of that sexuality — is something that is a massive part of, generally speaking, the human experience. so instead of a proper "addiction", it really sounds like just. a warped feedback loop.

where your brain has been starved of this kind of stimulation and the resultant cocktail* of chemicals (due to the really intense self-monitoring and guilt and shame and layers upon layers of not allowing yourself to feel or think about anything like that) so that when you finally do get any kind of release, your brain latches onto it in a way that is not healthy and cannot really be healthy until you have a way to explore your sexuality — this very fucking human part of you — and are no longer mentally flagellating yourself for it.

(*heh. cock.)

#v speaks! #it's not something i ended up struggling with but i definitely can imagine that i Could Have very easily if i hadn't gotten out of that cul #when i did. #(by 'exploration of [...] sexuality' i DO also mean this to include asexuality. because having the option and freedom to say 'yeah no that' #not for me' is something i would include in this umbrella of experience. if that makes sense. #not as in an allosexual expression/exploration of sexuality is innate to all human experience. it would be completely stupid to say that #because it is patently untrue.) #exmormon tag

you know i don't know shit about astrology but i do think it's kind of wild that one of the main things that attracted me to copia was the duality between how he is on vs off stage and with my headcanon for his birthday he's a gemini, which they're like. historically known for duality, right? what a coincidence

#i mean also according to astrology stuff we aren't that compatible which is you know patently untrue #but that's just an interesting thing #what do you have to say doll?

as someone who immigrated on their own at 18, Li Ming's story just hits different. and it's why i keep resonating so much with the thai younger generations in BL, where immigration and remittance home are real options. very tragically, many queer people from conservative countries want to leave their home in search of a freer life. many economically insecure people similarly leave in search of the entrenched idea that in the west institutions are stronger, therefore you'll be protected against violence and inequality by dint of your hard work (unlike home). even tho i find this to be a mirage and the perfect recipe for economic servitude, i still can't express how emotional it makes me to see this kid in such a similar predicament to mine at 18. it's sooooo strange how this is the first time i see this represented on screen in this way..... western TV about immigration seldom represent the moments leading up to the fact, and focuses solely on next gen immigrants

#sorry it's just jarring to see actual representatation on screen for shit u thought was so marginal to the 'default' #(read: settled white american male etc) experience #it also resonates to hear loved ones say (like wen) 'struggling over there is always better than making ends meet here' #which is patently untrue but you only find our too late in my experience

[hauntedpearl]

every once in a while i will gaslight myself into thinking I'm not actually ace and then i will talk to one (1) human person and have to go through the entire process of self discovery once more

#it's like. it's like this: i grew in a super conservative environment #my parents and i still belong to that community somewhat #mt life kind if went on pause when i was 22 ish and there is so much i haven't done yet so i am still babie and there's a lot im yet to #experience. #all these things sometimes just make me feel like i don't know anything about mayelf (kind of true) and also i have gaslighted #myself into thinking im ace when im probably just like a full on prude or whatever #but like. it's patently untrue bc like. girl. i may be shy but i am not a prude lmao #anyway. ANYWAY. then i will see someone just casually mention having crushes/relationships/sexual encounters #and I'm like WAIT PEOPLE DO THAT FR ON PURPOSE BC THEY WANT TO #and then i have to like. be like. damn I'VE NEVER??? THIS IS WEIRD #and then I'll be like okay yes i am Ace. #and I'll not think about it for a few months and the cycle repeats lmaoooo #literally like. what kind of tomfoolery goes on in my brain who knows

sorry stephen graham saying the boiling point tv adaptation will hold up a mirror to the real world and social issues in a way the bear doesnt is such a weird comment to make. like the bear isn’t my favourite show but ultimately it’s based in ideas of mental health and particularly how class and gender and shit impact that. like that’s what the show’s about. did he not watch it

#it’s fine to not like it but that’s just patently untrue #also i think he’s giving the boiling point movie a litttleeee too much credit. like it’s fine but it’s not particularly nuanced #idk maybe the series will b better

keep your safety net. the upkeep and maintenance cost not to mention any repairs you would need on that camper + the inconvenience of even moving it around anywhere is twice as expensive as the actual thing and it’s not worth it. similarly to a boat the two best days you’ll have with it are the day you get it and the day you give it away. they aren’t worth it unless you’re going to live in one and even then that’s not worth it unless you can afford a really good one

god? is that you?

nah fr you are correct and very sensible! thank you for your advice - i have no real practical intention of doing it, i just also have a little devil sitting on my shoulder going, "yeah but you COULD"

#shut up little devil i'm a grown up who makes good financial decisions (<patently untrue) #also i love that 'the best two days you'll have with it are the day you get it and the day you give it away' that's so funny lmao

what fucking emo hair he has a brown bob cut

I think it's the fact that Hannibal seems so stuck up with the way he cooks, but in reality he just enjoys what's good and so obviously he'd enjoy Will's comfort-food way of cooking.

okay but it is exactly about comfort! about nourishment! like yes hannibal gets a sick satisfaction out of feeding human meat to people unknowingly, but this is the way in which he shares his most intimate pleasure with those around him and this is 10x more true with will. all u have to do is look at their first breakfast together, his very first gift to will made of something that can nourish him, and he tells will that he���s careful about what he puts in his body. he won’t feed will anything that he himself wouldn’t eat. so in a post fall situation, having will reciprocate this sort of love language would be a very important ritual to them. will is the only person who could ever nourish him in the same way that hannibal has been doing to other people for years.

#this is also why i find it so disappointing when people act like will can’t cook or doesn’t enjoy good food #it’s just patently untrue lol and also a disservice to their relationship #ask

i also don't fully understand the election stuff so this could all be wrong lol but my read of them calling it for mencken was like. ATN can't make him president just by calling it, but they can certainly give him a greater air of legitimacy that allows him to plausibly make his acceptance speech. and that will rally his supporters and set up a narrative in his favor going into whatever legal stuff happens with counting the votes and making an "official" call. like another version of shiv's "just because you say it doesn't make it true but everyone agrees with you and believes you so it becomes true!" sorry if that post was rhetorical btw ignore me then <3

yeah right, and i know its like, we saw this sort of happen in real life anyway but it still makes no sense to me that it would have any real meaning bc im like. right you can say whatever you want on tv but wouldnt they just count the votes and be like 'ok well you didnt win. go home' except i guess in america if people are loud enough they just win by default, like you said the public support based on the ATN call would sway the legal proceedings

#ask #anonymous #its just so bizarre to me i cant fully get my head around it yknow #also omg so true about that line shiv said! thats like. exactly what happened here huh #i think its so funny though to think you can just go on tv and say anything and even if its patently untrue #the country will still spend months arguing about it. like. what
