some of you didnt see her today, struck to the bone in a moment of breathless delight, and you also dont know how the world may be changed in just one burst of light and it shows
turns this is claude giroux being very good at avoiding pucks and not, as i initially thought, claude giroux being VERY bad at stopping even just one of them
Yeah “het ships are boring” but let’s not shit on het ships w/ trans people, black women, fat people, disabled women, and other groups that have been treated as “unloveable” by culture at large in preference for a ship between two white pretty boys.
listen every single role in hollywood can be played by a fat girl. every single one. a romantic lead????? can be played by a fat girl!!!!! a popular girl????? can be played by a fat girl!!!!!! the preppy bookworm???? can be played by a fat girl!!!!!!! someone who suffers from mental illness????? can be played by a fat girl!!!!!! because fat girls don’t fit into one single character box and we are dynamic and we are everyone!!!!!!! even people with eating disorders can be played by fat girls and the only reason you think they can’t is because when fat girls have an eating disorder, it’s not called an eating disorder. it’s called a success story.
cartoon network’s internship application page is insane. there are so many bright neon colors and princess bubblegum is asking me if i’m a grad student
I interviewed for a position once and every time they flipped through my portfolio they made a Johnny Test whip crack noise
The stories of women in my family who were forced into lives they didn’t want and didn’t utilize their passions breaks my heart. My grandma wanted to be a journalist and write about the injustices she saw inflicted on disabled ppl while she was volunteering at a state run institution as a teen. Her father decided that she was “too fat and stupid” for college and forced her to get married at 17 or else he’d make her homeless. As a kid she told me that she wished people believed that she had meaningful opinions on events around her. One of my great grandmothers wanted to be an artist but was pressured into marrying a man who beat her. She stayed up late each night when her children were in bed writing poetry and pasting it over elaborate collages she mad herself. We still have stacks of these notebooks she created but was never allowed to do anything with. My mother wanted to be an operatic singer and was considered a musical prodigy in her town because she taught herself three seperate instruments by 13. When she was 18 she met my then 30 year old father who emotionally manipulated her into giving up her dreams to start a family with him. As a kid I would hear her up at night playing the violin or doing vocal exercises until she became too depressed to practice anymore. Like idk y’all there’s a quiet type of violence in the way women’s talents are devalued and brushed aside in favor of bullying them into “traditional” roles that ultimately don’t fulfill what they wanted for their lives. We’ve lost so much art, music, writing, science, and happiness to misogyny.
