women r really put in this horrible position by feeling pressured to renounce femininity as a way of detaching themselves from patriarchal society, yet at the same time doing that can feel like femininity is inherently wrong or vulgar. so we’re put into a dichotomy of ‘shaving your legs and calling yourself a dumb bimbo is actually feminism!’ and ‘wearing lipstick betrays your fellow sisters in feminism’ both of which are such shallow beliefs… on one hand denying that shaving, wearing makeup, adhering to traditional standards of womanhood and beauty IS a choice that’s absolutely impacted by patriarchal influence, the male gaze, and misogyny. on the other hand, renouncing it feels like femininity = wrong and masculinity = good, and reminds me of Deborah Tannen’s idea of marked vs unmarked identities. That is to say that both of these ideas, both radical and liberal, still hinge on men’s perspectives on femininity to exist. And this isn’t to renounce either of these ideas or even share solutions it’s just to express my frustration!!!! Like!! Will the existence of women always be wrong no matter what !!!! And of course this goes double for trans women!!!
forgot to mention it’s about capitalism BTW. it’s all about capitalism

I think one of the most profound forms of love is “I’ll try that, for you. I may not like it, but I’ll try it.”
It’s a confused middle-aged man in a pottery class, whose daughter is helping him with his clay’s plasticity. It’s a kid scrunching up their brow while listening to their mom’s favorite music, trying to figure out why she likes it. It’s a girlfriend who says “Yes, I’ll go with you” and her girlfriend cheering and buying a second ticket for a con. It’s a friend half dragging another friend through an aquarium, the one being dragged laughing and calling out “Wait, wait, I know we’re here for the exhibit, but I haven’t been here! Slow down!”
It’s being willing to spend some of your time trying something new because it makes someone you love happy.
This is what happened when a fanfic site is profit driven. Wattpad sucks 😞
The email from Wattpad is so condescending imagine pressuring writers to update and work while they are doing it for free and fun. Also the discovery? Algorithm? Of Wattpad looks like a stressful popularity contest 😑
Imagine Jonathan takes an absolutely amazing photo of Argyle skating a rail. Argyle praises Jonathan relentlessly and starts showing the photo to everyone he can.
You would think that it’s to show off his skating captured in the photo but because it’s Argyle he is hyping Jonathan up to everyone that he comes across.
He hypes him up so much that the next time he comes with Argyle to one of his spots other skaters approach Jonathan to talk about his photography. And if he ever thought about submitting some photos to local skate mags.
And Argyle is just beaming because Jonathan is learning how to finally take compliments that are well deserved.
