illness privilege*
it’s a privilege to have an audience for your breakdown
it’s a privilege to have enablers for your breakdown
it’s a privilege to be able to game the system in order to get or avoid treatment when you want to
it’s a privilege to operate in a tradition of pretty, famous, suicidal white female writers

Angela Davis on Shulamith Firestone
One of the earliest theoretical works associated with the contemporary feminist movement that dealt with the subject of rape and race was Shulamith Firestone’s “The Dialectic of Sex: The Case For Feminist Revolution.” Racism in general, so Firestone claims, is actually an extension of sexism. Invoking the biblical notion that “… the races are no more than the various parents and siblings...

mmmightymightypeople:
i can’t really talk too much about it—but the past week, i’ve been thinking a LOT about mad men. and how the gendered implications of divorce play out. and how those mean catty bitches who say hello to the “new woman” are so pointedly mean and nasty even as they smile and are quite pleasant. fucking viper women.
but this past week, i’ve grown to understand those viper...

1) honking at people who casually walk into the middle of the road (city life) does not have the same effect as honking at deer who casually walk into the middle of the road (country life) because they don’t run away and instead get mad and gesture at me and OK DUDE BUT YOU’RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GODDAMN STREET
2) pumps (strip club) is fascinatingly close to my...

notes about being a good person
heartbarf:
Sometimes you aren’t right.
Sometimes you need to let go of your opinions.
Nobody is ever an enemy to themselves, but sometimes you are an enemy to someone else, and in order to stop the conflict, you need to acknowledge that.
Letting go can be embarrassing and humbling. But that means you’re probably doing it right, a little bit at least.
Moving on from here, and this post...

Haute Cature: The Crazy Cat Lady Gets A Major... →
thatscatastic:
As evident by Derek Lam’s 10 Crosby cat- and yarn-dotted resort collection and Karl Lagerfeld’s ultra-sophisticated companion, Choupette, being openly obsessed with felines will no longer earn you the stigma of a crazy cat lady. But for the record, I’ve been cuckoo for kittens since…

Called mom bec I haven’t talked to her in a month, lost track of what I was doing while waiting for voicemail beep, dropped phone and left message mostly of curses and scuffling. Maybe she will think I was kidnapped.

Put an assumption in my ask. I’ll confirm or dispute it. I’m not gonna be mean or anything, I’m just very interested. You can go anon if you want.
totes.
When someone asks how it’s going and you start to type a chipper answer but by the end of the email you are a little weepy. Menses? Or convenses? Or the obvious.

STAND WITH OUR SERVICEWOMEN

Servicewomen and dependents are currently banned from using their insurance coverage for abortion if they are a victim of rape or incest. It’s deplorable, and a new group, Stand with Servicewomen, has come together to fight the ban.

So called "female trainwrecks" →
Obviously when I saw the headline on this I shouldn’t have read any further, but for real wtf. There’s SO MUCH WRONG with this preachy piece but the inclusion of Marie Calloway is beyond. Marie writes about her sex life, so that’s “humiliating?” It’s self-destructive? It’s on a par with smoking angel dust and writing for Vice which are also apparently not...

mikkipedia:
Narcissists are (a) extremely sensitive to personal criticism and (b) extremely critical of other people. They think that they must be seen as perfect or superior or infallible, next to god-like (if not actually divine, then sitting on the right hand of God) — or else they are worthless. There’s no middle ground of ordinary normal humanity for narcissists. They can’t tolerate the...

there are times when i’m suddenly struck by the concept that maybe my kind of odd views on relationships and friendship are thanks to a long history of being involved in highly dysfunctional versions of those things but then i realise that’s clearly the HATERS talkin’ and i take a very self-satisfied nap (◡‿◡✿)
