how it feels to discuss a poem in english class and know the meanings of words that the other people in your group have never heard

[A white fortune cookie paper with black text on the front and an icon of a bee. It reads: Avenues of good fortune are ahead for you in the coming month.]

should i eat first or shower first *has phone in couch time for another 3 hours due to choice procrastination, a behavioral phenomenon observed in pigeons and rats as well*

i' m something of a pigeons and rats myself

before you make that post about "the crisis facing men and boys" or "preventing redpill radicalization" stop and check in:

is your proposed solution

  1. increased labor of women and girls
  2. women and girls enduring more abuse for the benefit of men and boys
  3. women and girls suppressing their emotions (fear, anger, resentment, etc.) and limiting their speech
  4. blaming populations of women (e.g. trans women, women involved in sex trades, racialized women) for the actions of men and expecting these women to endure punishment for men
  5. focusing on maintaining manhood and masculinity while reducing the discomfort men feel about holding this position; framing men's feelings of insecurity as the central issue to be addressed when it comes to violent misogyny

if so:

your "solution" to behavioral patterns emerging within patriarchy is more patriarchy.

instead:

try to imagine literally anything else.

one last thing about chappell. her fans are trying to act like she was making some thoughtful social commentary about how women are expected to have children and how mothers are brushed aside but that’s just…..not what she said at all?? it was a little, unnecessarily mean quip about her friend’s lives. like actually that IS a really rude thing to say about people you care about. i’m not a mother but i imagine i would be really deeply hurt if someone insinuated that i was miserable and lifeless because of my kids. it’s become abundantly clear that she isn’t putting any thought into what she says publicly and she isn’t even pretending to be an activist anymore so we can’t act like anything she says is that deep lol. she just likes to talk

i’ve always said that it’s ridiculous to assume that laura lee would have been a devout member of the cult if she had lived because her being religious doesn’t mean that she’d be more susceptible to following any religion she encounters. i grew up in the church and getting a christian to consider that other people’s beliefs could be valid is like pulling teeth LMAO but! i do think she would follow lottie for a while because we know that she thought lottie’s visions came from the christian god. she would absolutely bail out eventually when lottie became more and more extreme, but she would enable her for a little too long. i will say that the idea of laura lee having a crisis of faith and seeing lottie as the real messiah is really interesting though and i would have loved to see it
