I dunno maybe Alan Moore had a point when he said a generation of adults raised on superhero fantasies might have enormous political consequences

Today I did something water-related (I’m scared of the sea/open water) that I had been scared to do my whole life and I’m very proud of me

Slim shaming mostly centres on desirability. Fatphobia deals with desirability, but is centred it being systemic and affecting ALL aspects of our lives, not just about who finds us attractive.

‘From’ isn’t getting the hype and recognition it deserves as a TV show and it annoys me. It’s a FANTASTIC SHOW.

If you’re having a heated discussion with someone and they say something along the lines of, ‘I’m only doing XYZ because I don’t wanna hear your mouth’ Would you see that response as rude?

People freely admitting that their partners are cleaning their skid-marked boxers on X is diabolical. That app is a scary place.

Starting again feels weird, I can’t lie.
