Girlll and the fits just be cardigans and turtlenecks. Stuff that are basic af. It’s nothing wrong with basic fits but trading it in for seasonal depression is crazy

pandemics lead to fascism leads to obsession with "health", which just means "skinny/thin" under white supremacist/European beauty standards, also "make the commoners weak again" = GLP 1 ads every 5 mins

They swear that we who prefer spring/summer can’t dress, but it’s really them. It’s harder to be creative when it’s too hot for more than one layer. They be begging for SAD with the same coat😭

Yes, this is why many stayed on Facebook after 2017 and never migrated to Twitter (only instagram), much less here. This app (or these apps) has the highest concentration of highly literate/educated ppl I’ve ever seen

Tbh I don’t actually wish I was a more open and vulnerable person in general. I’m fine with that being part of the premium experience. Makes it even more meaningful and special when I get to share that side of myself with someone.

Too many people think this is funny. There could’ve been children around, this is filthy (keep your bodily fluids to yourself and even other adults (flight attendants too) don’t deserve to be sexually harassed (how is this not assault??)

Revoking access is something that can be done as an adult. It was not an option as a child/teen where the people you would have had to revoke said access from were also the people you needed to survive.

Less perceived risk, more past experience. Long vulnerable story short, adverse childhood experiences and the desire to not provide the opportunity for others to make me relive them now that I have a say in the matter. The feeling isn’t fear per se. It’s more a holdover defense mechanism.

Personally, it's because I'm always prepared for that vulnerability to either be punished or twisted and weaponized against me. After a lifetime of having vulnerability be treated like a weakness to be attacked or a reason to be ostracized by would be loved ones, it's very hard to do comfortably.

I’m gonna have just a petite lil crash out BECAUSE I WROTE THIS UP THREE YEARS AGO IN A BOOK AND SPECIFICALLY CITED who would be allowed to “change knowledge” as a question we were dealing with WITH ANOTHER POPE around yes AGAIN THE ASSAULT OF WOMEN AND GIRLS AND “records”

E near kickstarted my cares.
Back when I was a little girl accessing the Encarta encyclopedia
CD-ROM, I was fascinated by what the technology of "links" could do to expand learning history. Clicking links could guide you around knowledge and help you chronicle the steps you took in a world where learning was overwhelming. Guides, references, and bibliographies are catalogs and rules that bring order to the world.
I am grown up now-and Microsoft has stopped making Encarta-and I've learned that expanding our knowledge and connections within that knowledge is important and integral work to any civil society. And I've learned that trying to do so is one of the most heartbreaking things one can do. There is power in archives, and who is allowed to have that power is tightly controlled and connected to who has power in society. People who are not traditionally empowered often face huge resistance to adding to the official record. While social media and the internet age have often forged more paths to do so, they have also put up more obstacles. It has been a roller coaster.
We have to do it anyway.
The year before Encarta was released and ignited my love of links and archives, Sinéad O'Connor became famous by ripping up a photo of Pope John Paul II while a musical guest on Saturday Night Live. It was everywhere. I was vaguely aware of how mad it made people, including my uncle, a priest. What I also remember is how little anyone was willing to tell me, at eight years old, about why everyone was so mad, even while admitting Sinéad hadn't done anything but tell the truth and have an emotional response in public commensurate with discussing centuries of abuse n the Catholic Church. I was frustrated at not being able to look it up myself. It rasn't the first time and it wouldn't be the last, but that feeling of wanting to under-tand would stay with me. And then Microsott Encarta came out.
I had always loved reading, especially encyclopedias, trivia books,
