Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Children play without any problems…until boys are taught that girls are “yucky” and that doing anything “like a girl” is cause for great shame. And that negative indoctrination continues through adulthood. Is it any wonder they grow up not to respect or even like women? No. 020
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Believe me, some definitely didn’t make the cut. That goes for other races too. But I live in a country where foreigners are maybe 1% of the population and there are only a handful of black people scattered. I’m not friendly because people seek my friendship, not to other way around. 010
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 04/04/2025There are black folks with zero white friends who seek validation from white people, but there are those of us who actually have white friends and still manage to keep it real. That’s why I’m not friends with white people who can’t accept the harsh truth, especially out of my mouth. 120
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 04/04/2025IDGAF about the group liking me, but I do have awesome individual friends, people who I didn’t go into knowing with any intentions whatsoever. On the other hand, how people see you is how they treat you. That’s why I keep it cute but let it be known I’m not to be played with, nor is my race. 120
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 04/04/2025I was just thinking about this scene earlier. DS9 was both relevant at its time and ahead of its time. So, basically, it was timeless. Best Trek ever, and one of the best TV shows of all time. The writing is so good. It could stand with the best of them today. 010
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 04/04/2025The times demand I rewatch Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It was as relevant in 2016-2020 as it is right now. Humanity clocks its own nature with perfect accuracy in the hands of great writers. I agree with a comment I read that said its level of writing was never seen in Star Trek again. 💯 📠 110

Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 03/02/2025Here in Asia, “Americans” are white people in these people’s eyes.

Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 16/01/2025But bigoted, uneven gender norms do not a successful project make. Because once the teacher starts asking your partner questions they can’t answer (who’s your child’s doctor, does your child have any allergies), then what? A failing grade because the point of a group project is to work as a GROUP. 000
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 16/01/2025But if men think it’s masculine to be independent and focus only on themselves, what can women expect from such a “partner” but exactly that? It’s like a group project where the team lead (the actual support) does the whole project. Sad thing is, a lot of women are okay with that. 100
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Some of the same ones who’ll complain about not being appreciated by their partner will say women are lazy for choosing to just be a wife/mother while wife/mother IS the full-time job, with overtime. So, mothehood + a full-time job + a partner = Married single motherhood. 😵💫 000
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Judge Doom was from the pits of hell. How are you gonna be scarier AFTER you’re essentially killed? When he got up and started moving around after that steamroller, it was as scary to me as any of the horror movies my cousins and aunts made me watch. As scary as when Chucky first spoke on screen. 010
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 16/01/2025It’s not like the people want a government left-leaning enough to do anything about it anyway. And so, the dance will continue. Because people love waiting until we’re past the point of return, to where the only “logical” choice is war (thus, more wasteful expenditure). What fun. 😑 010
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 16/01/2025It doesn’t even matter anyway. Every time a Rethuglican gets in office, they crash things anyway. It is a pattern. So, we need not worry. We will all be able to say it’s the worst in the last half-century soon enough. The Dems can only do so much, especially with their own limitations. 110
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 16/01/2025I loved & binged the first book, but aside from some flirtation scenes, I didn’t really enjoy the second. It was so disappointing because I was so hyped for months. It felt like she was spinning wheels with very little motion in the plot in spite of the page count. I hope the next book is better! 100
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 16/01/2025I’m not. They’re two sides of the same coin. 010
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 16/01/2025If you’re not insecure, you’re not going to identify with it. That’s a good thing in its own way. We can only understand it in a distant sense. 010
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 16/01/2025I just had to (politely) comment on someone clearly using an A.I. generation and hashtagging it “art.” They might want to be careful because not everyone is polite about it. 010
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Well, so much for me using this app to share my art. It takes me so long to build up trust to feel comfortable enough to share it, but I’m so tired of scammers. I’m a writer and a designer too, so I’m already fed up with creative scams two times over. 😩 100
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 16/01/2025No shade, but you might want to be careful using that tag with A.I. generations. Speaking as an artist (and as someone who knows how artists feel about them, myself included). The concept itself is nice, though. 000
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Methinks a lot of folks are gonna get a rude awakening. And not just black folks. But especially black folks. They are racist to us even in our own neighborhoods and in our own countries (see: their colonization in Africa), so what do you think they’ll do in their own spaces?media.tenor.comernie from sesame street is wearing a striped shirt and gloves and making a funny face .ALT: ernie from sesame street is wearing a striped shirt and gloves and making a funny face . 051

Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 15/01/2025I’m kind of thinking about making some videos about thrift store hauls. I always find nice clothes for great prices. The quality of used products in Japan is very good. I could make a whole channel out of it. Or do I style and sell great stuff I find? Or modify it? 🤔 000
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 15/01/2025I’ve been buying random Dragonball stuff at the thrift store, and found this today. I don’t know or remember this (was this a thing?), but I guess this is Goku and Piccolo? I don’t know what’s happening. It’s been a long time. 210
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 15/01/2025I found a brand new pair of thigh-high boots today for 280 yen ($1.78). One of the best surprise thrift finds over the past year. This is still one of my favorites, though it wasn’t cheap. I’d have loved a Black Panther one (if it even exists) over an Iron Man one. 020

Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 13/01/2025Point is, I have control and only befriend people who have control. So, if an attractive man approaches me and leads with my attractiveness (via word or deed) while expressing a desire to become friends, I won't be his friend because I know what he really wants. And that's not how I make friends. 010
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 13/01/2025Indeed. This current age has made the cost of entry so low that people question whether it's even possible. But it absolutely is if you set boundaries and commit to the platonic friendship you intend. So, I have attractive friends. I am an attractive friend. But so what? You get used to it. 110
Too Many Thoughts @fictoromantic.bsky.social · 13/01/2025You insisting people twist their opinions to be in line with yours discourages good-faith discourse. If you're skeptical but truly want differing opinions, let people give them, especially when they go to the trouble of actually explaining them. Did you want opinions or validation? 100
