going from my cool transgender college dorm to the Weird Old White Men Convention is soooo freaky like why am I experiencing misogyny for the first time

#reconsidering my position on giving condescending old white men the benefit of the doubt #it's just the way they talk down to u and how they clearly think of themselves as the most important and coolest ppl in the world #freaky experience to be treated like this but like they can't actually harm me in any way so. whatever #it's sooo weird I can't believe I am 18 yrs old and recognizing that I'm experiencing misogyny for the first time #who u should be honored to speak to and the way they get too fucking close to u. like fuck all the way off oh my god #I have got to stop being so shy and pathetic bc all I am doing is playing directly into their expectations of me #guy who said he thought I was 13 or 15 and then proceeded to shake my hand for too long and grab my shoulder as he walked away. ewww #whatever. I hope their wives leave them and take the house in the divorce #narcissus's echoes

sometimes I wish I was a little more of that stereotypical art kid obsessing over all the art and their favorite trip being a visit to an art museum.

But like most eras of art I either see nothing that would speak to me in or just really do not like the style and vibes of it. Or both.

So I'm just sitting here, bored, waiting for my friends to move on from the painting of yet another old white man that they've been staring at for the past 15 minutes

#especially with like renaissance #and actually... every other era tbh #its all so stupidly religious #and all (old) white men #in those stupid looking gowns #with an artstyle that creeps me out #and just looks unpleasant #but i cant leave either so i just feel excluded

#ofmd #this is NOT over #I want to see David’s vision of what happens when two soulmates get together and try to make it work #that is what interests me actually #they didn’t resolve shit in season 2 #our flag means death #season 3 goddamnit #renew as a crew #you fucker at Max #I know exactly what happens for having work in this sort of production company #and it’s just a bunch a high up who give the money in the stock market who have NO ideas of art works #and they just delete delete delete everything they don’t understand #leaving the creative minds in the dust and the people actually giving them money just flabbergasted #did I mention that it’s always old white men ?#did I need to say it though ?#sign the petition make our voices heard

since i started star wars at like 14, i didn’t really get the full political implications or just the innate tragedy of it. it’s not supposed to be a happy story but there’s supposed to be hope. i always thought anakin wasn’t to blame going to the dark like maybe if he had a different master or wasn’t groomed by palpatine but in reality he was a grown ass man with full jedi training that chose to get married (“in secret” bc i swear everyone knew they was fuckin, they just didn’t want to banish him bc they saw him as the chosen one) and chose to kill younglings and massacre an entire people and kill another jedi and turn to the dark side. even if he had really strong emotions and felt things on an insanely intense level bc of midichlorians or whatever he still had full fledged jedi training to be able to control that and yeah the jedi temple was so corrupt in the way they were just cops with telekinetic abilities and fake buddhists but like HES GROWN. no matter what he experienced it was his choice. he was weak and he chose the dark side. so he is not babygirl. he’s hot. but he’s not baby girl. it was over even before he force choked padme cause he killed them kids he said no more jedi too bad so sad.

i never understood padme’s death tho it was kind of a plot hole to me just she just lost the will to live and just died after giving birth like what????even if she is force sensitive (ALLEGEDLY) that’s still crazy. i think it was soley for the anakin-vader plot so that he wouldn’t think of his actions or to maybe (idk if this was on purpose) justify his actions bc he had nothing left.

also sorry if u haven’t watched star wars yet…i recommend release order and clone wars and rebels animated series. forget about the mandalorian and the “ahsoka” show it literally doesn’t matter.

#ik there’s gonna be a new jedi order and theryre coming out with a new trilogy but sw is turning into marvel in the way u need to watch #all their stupid ass series to watch a bitchass movie or one show. if u content can’t stand alone it fucking sucks #also i hate when ppl quote yoda just bc he’s old doesn’t mean he’s not stupid #also i think the jedi values kinda ‘dehumanized’ jedis like leaving their families no attachments like what are y’all fighting for ur just #glorified cops. i think especially when u see the poverty in corusant which is supposed to be the planet for the AMAZING republic..some #peopl have never seen the sky…do something bout that. QUICKLY #i do think that disney star wars beyond liek the animated series is terrible. like they don’t know how to write. they just bring back old #problems and it’s the same tropes and maybe even the same characters #also rosario dawson allegedly attacked a queer person in public but the case was only dropped bc it was the pandemic and the person didn’t #have monies. like that doesn’t mean she’s innocent. sick sick people work for disney. sick sick people.#i hate the mandalorian so much. jon favero and dave filoni will pay.#imma pretend like some stuff just doesn’t exist. fun djarin who?? the mandalorian liek jango fett? oh sabine wren like in the animated show!#i rant abt sw bc i love it sm but i hate it. it was also created by a white american man so like…and more white american men make it worse..

I love that not looking for what he wants is “attitude”, and he’s right, I’m not in his league, I’m way above him

#personal #dating woes #fucker thinks he can talk to me like that #this is why I don’t date white collar men #leave me to the blue collar old fashioned ones #he’s also blocked so there will be no *around in the morning *#especially when I never used any disrespect #except to say no #Cuz how dare I

#original #lupin iii #zooploop #zeniloop #zenigata x lupin #Do YOU wanna reach the age of 45 and realize you're only attracted to people under 30?? idk if folks realize how many of our beauty #standards are based on things associated with being under 30-something #tight skin. full thick head of hair. muscles. stamina. unblemished complexion. - these things are great but #Y'all have to know that part of the human life cycle is... losing all of that!#what are you gonna do? die about it??#or are you gonna fuck severely into the grave like me and Lupin???#(or are you uninterested in sex or sex as i describe it and also totally valid?? aroace people are valid.)#lots of people get fat as they get older and everyone will eventually become disabled if they live long enough #if these things make a person unfuckable in your eyes then where will that leave you in a few years time??#folks who draw zenigata ripped are valid but i am unironically into a soft belly #if he looks like a harried average dad with cute eyes who hasn't slept in two days well then he looks like zenigata to me!#and i specifically am looking for content of zenigata so i want it to look like him!#(tho again there isn't a canonically wrong way to draw him unless you made him like. white.)#anyway what i am saying is 'dulce et decorum est pro old men masturbatori'#(it is sweet and proper to jerk off to old men)#jack! i hear you say. that's a weird context in which to reference a poem about the horrors of world war one!#and to that i say #yeh #stupid hollywood with their stupid tiny narrow idea of what is desirable

Sometimes healing from religious trauma is looking back and going “HOLY FUCK! YOU SAID WHAT? JESUSSSSS CHRIST! I WAS A CHILD YOU SAID THAT TO, THATS JUST BLATANT HATE! MY GOD” and then hating yourself for ever believing it because you weren’t taught any different and had to on your own time realize that the adults in your life were just casually spouting hate speech with the excuse of religious texts.

And by the way. Feel free to vent in the tags or comments. Just PLEASE, don’t come onto here and try and argue why any points anyone tries to make about things they’ve been through aren’t that bad or should be ignored. Right now this is a safe space for people who have been through religious trauma. Not for people who are happy in their religion and want to convert others.

You have your own spaces. Use them.

#looking at you lds/Mormons #you know. I don’t care about the whole “oh we don’t want to be called mormons that’s disrespectful” thing #cause like. you know what’s more hateful?#ANTISEMITISM #Not even like “well it’s not our fault you interpreted it wrong type either. just blatant antisemitsm and being like and they had it coming #like no????? also like your religion is the fannon/fanfic of all Christian religons #no one treats you seriously you fucking crack ship of a religion and leave #the things that I was just casually taught that when you look back on it with like even the slightest bit of rose colored glasses removed #is just blatant hate speech man.#like no. don’t go around saying the native Americans are Jews who were forsaken by god #that’s racist #and also FULL of antisemitism #the amount of “and remember god is a white man who only loves us and only loves white men” speeches I’ve had is far too many #like I’ve been told to become a mom because god made me that way and it’s disrespectful to want a job cause god made us nurturing unlike men #and like all the anti-gay rhetoric and anti-trans #like if you’re not an old cishet white man from the 50s you are FUCKED in the eyes of their god #and people wonder why I think that the idea that god died years ago is preferable to a god existing #cause like. an all loving god wouldn’t allow for THIS SHIT especially not in the one true religion as some churches believe #tw vent #tw religion #tw homophobia #tw antisemitism #tw transphobia #tw racism #tw lds church and lds church beliefs #tw xenophobia #kinda? but I’m just gonna say yes to be safe #the amount of trigger warnings when I’m not even going IN DEPTH about any of the shit I’ve heard is honestly concerning and talks for itself #tw sexism #religious trauma

(that was one of my favorite episodes of television, ever. everyone go watch Ep. 6 of "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and report back).

#ugh i loved it #so many name drops and references i love it #structured perfectly #also old joel is so hot too i loooooove #do y'all think there's gonna be anymore Lenny stuff?#if they leave it at the airport....SNOOOOOOREEEE #this filled the “Mad Men”-shaped whole in my heart for a good while #and was great to rewatch during a divorce #guess - White House Plumbers - gets the spot #let me be clear real quick #i'm not a really cool aesthetic midcentury rockabilly modcloth fan of the late 50's all of the 60's and the early 70s gal #one of my truest shames is being so god damn GAP in my life #i trauma bonded with the show after getting teen cancer before John Green made it hot #anyway #marvelous mrs maisel #let the record show that i couldn't do Gilmore Girls - too cloying and i was parentified

if I had a nickel for every book i’ve read in the past year where a grown ass man starts hitting on a 17 year old girl i’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

#i finished dance of thieves and started bow of thieves today #on my private story on snapchat i compared the king guy to the dictator dude from princess protection program 🫣#but after i’ve read more he is giving very much balekin for tfota #please leave these girls alone guys #kazi is in a VERY loving relationship #and jude is in her situationship #you are really trying to get these girls at your grown age 😐#whoop whoop that’s the sound of the police #let’s stop giving straight white men power #ACTUALLY OLD straight men #jase and cardan can do no wrong in my eyes #💋 i love them actually #dance of thieves #vow of thieves #the cruel prince #the wicked king #the queen of nothing #the folk of the air

whilst putting the big books back on the shelf, I stumbled across a book of photographs from the collections of a particular photographer from where I live. ignoring the fact that the compilers didn’t know how to date photographs (like did they REALLY think a picture with a horse-drawn taxi and women in lingerie dresses were from the 1930s???) and I found a picture of one of the old k-class garratts on the north-east dundas tramway. love that

#the 'knows a little about historical fashion' in me knows that there were quite a few misdated pictures in it #and I think it's because they might've been developed at a later time or reprinted at a later time #because they had perfectly 1917 era fashion in a picture dated 1917.#but yeah like not until the popularisation of mobile phones and the internet did we here have the same fashion as on the mainland #yet alone the fashions coming out of the uk and america #so give about two or maybe even three years before things come and go out of style and maybe more for that since you didn't chuck #an old dress once it became unfashionable you'd usually alter it to be fashionable again #but like. for a regatta you'd want to wear your best. that's usually more up-to-date than say your not-leaving-the-house-today dress #and this picture was dated 1920s. meaning that it's likely later than 1920 on the dot which if it were I could see #but honestly every single lady in that picture was wearing a white dress and the ones you could see had a coloured belt #not that you could tell since. black and white.#and the hat styles said what #I looked it up to double-check and those hats matched mid-1900s perfectly AND SO DID THE MEN'S HATS #so I'd say... late 1900s? maybe even 1910 or 11? y'know. A DECADE EARLIER?#like come on you were paid to write this book #and dear fucking god the picture I mentioned in the post body. dates 1930s. it probably was taken around 1909 when that building was new #it couldn't be after 1911 for reasons that would be obvious if you know a little about where I live #and it's really only on these few photographs. and I know it was 1987 so they couldn't like. google the fashion era or anything #which tbh is the best bet at dating this stuff because looking up online stuff about where I live is. tricky #like c'mon I wanna look up creepy little-known stuff about where I live. I don't wanna rely on a seemingly abandoned wordpress page

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

#spilled ink #warm up #“why did u tag it warm up” bc i wrote it off the cuff while drinkin coffee lol #btw the 30 dollar buy in for the dog walking is bc they pay the organizer a small pittance so she can #run fb ads and stuff and like she does put in a lot of work i don't mind paying her #but that's exactly what im fucking talking about like.#ppl can't afford to volunteer their time anymore and we all understand it!!! everything costs money for everyone!#like we didn't have to use to say ''do you mind paying me back for the stuff we ate''#we used to be able to afford to feed our friends once in a while!!!
