Every time I see a ‘oh to live in a small town trust your neighbors and live simply’ post its like - yeah, sounds great, honestly happy for the people that works for - thing is tho if you fall slightly out of alignment with your neighbors/‘the community’ even once? you’re fuucked

Like - that’s why the gay kids and the weird kids and the smart kids and anyone who is even slightly different all leave if they can, man. If you are online enough to fantasize about this sort of thing - you’re definitely weird enough to count as a weird kid.

Tbh this degree of planning and coordinating and communicating seems v overwhelming to me...but I empathize with the overall beef - something I think about often is the centrality of romantic relationships - their details and evolution - in fiction coded 'for women' vs 'for men'

I haven't done a scientific study or anything, but my casual observation of romantic relationships in fiction that isn't explicitly 'chick'-coded is - when it features at all - it does not occupy anywhere close to as much of the narrative's focus as that which is 'for the girls'

There's a nurse named Victoria Kavanaugh listed in this article who conspires to kill patients with chronic illnesses that require costly treatment in order to save her employers money. She lies, quashes reports, and works to coordinate this behind the scenes because its her job

Big insurers feel way too massive and complicated to fight properly. When the latest in a long line of ethical atrocities is uncovered, CEOs shrug-pass the buck to underlings who point at each other-HOW could *I* have known!?
But they REQUIRE competent administrators to function

So you're rockabilly.

The correct opinion is:
- Flower prints are overused and often uninspired. Designers ought to have to obtain a special license to use them. The placeholder of prints
- There are VERY few acceptable excuses for non-autistic people to wear striped clothing
- Plaid is a neutral

True story, my mom tried to raise me gender neutral -no pink, no barbie- mostly tons of STEMy toys actually. Problem with that sorta thing is you’re only as strong as the weakest parent at school-1st day she picked me up I was like ‘WE GOTTA LOOK INTO THIS NEW SHIT CALLED DOLLS’ The worst way this backfired prob came when I got my 1st formal dress. Once wearing one was a possibility, I insisted on dressing formally for dinner every night. Like an aristocrat in exile. If my mom wouldn’t help me get dressed, i would scream til she gave in, or I passed out.
