love being worried for 2 full days

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

On April 8 we celebrate the death of Margaret Thatcher, and remember all the lives she destroyed.

A woman went viral for being turned down for a next interview for a role, she asks the recruiter what she did wrong, the recruiter tells her they were “concerned about her lack of effort in her appearance.”

She explains she wore a freshly ironed blazer with a collared top. Her nails were painted a professional beige. She got a blowout for her hair, so a professional style. She had on subdued gold earrings.

The only thing she wasn’t wearing was makeup; she states she really doesn’t wear makeup, and only had chapstick on, as her skin is sensitive. Her lawyer mother has already explained she has no legal case against the company for any type of gender-based discrimination.

Just in case anyone wants to ask why feminists still refer to the “pink tax” or rail against more and more elaborate makeup trends being pushed on girls and women.

Women being punished socially for not wearing makeup is still a feminist issue.

Okok once again rewatching Fantasy High Sophomore Years finale and god the parallels between Aelwyn and Adaine with Galicaea and Cassandra??

Galicaea, the prim and proper older sister, perfectly poised upon first meeting, tasked with all important things and never questioning anything.

Galicaea, who hates so deeply that wild side of her that isn’t prim and proper and perfect.

Aelwyn, who has been filled with self hatred for her actions against Adaine since she was young.

Galicaea, who is perfect because her followers made her perfect.

Aelwyn, who is perfect because her parents leave her no other choice.

Cassandra, the younger sister who was cast out of the main picture and left to fester in her anger.

Adaine struggling with her anger and her rage and her confusion and her anxiety and only meeting shut doors and dismissing scoffs.

Until, Adaine met The Bad Kids.

Until Cassandra had Kristen.

if I had a nickel for every time a teenager in fantasy high tried to perform surgery, failed, and then was assisted by another teenager who rolled a critical success, I’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

The Devotion of Saint Kristen Applebees

"devoted to [her] mission, is faithful to the call of the gods on [her] life. [She] is willing to sacrifice [her] own interests to those greater interests (...). [She] binds [her] will and [her] heart to that task. This is what it means to be pious."

(bastardization of Alan Jacob, on the origins and early meaning of the term pius)
