Something that will help you cope with your frustration with society is knowing that trends exist on a swing set. Things will always swing one way to the furthest extreme before swinging back to the opposite extreme.

Look at pants. We got them tighter and tighter until they couldn't get any more tight, then swung back to JNKOs, then invented jeggings, and now we're back to baggy pants.

Shoes: Thin stilettos to wide chunky platforms to stilettos to platforms again. Nails. Eyelashes. Hair. As big as you can get them, as crazy as you can, then simple and tiny again, then back to big.

And every once in a while new technology is invented and we have to use it on absolutely everything, even if it's stupid, until we get annoyed with ourselves and cut it out.

Then once decade as a new one comes around we get delusions about Entering A New Age and get funky with it for a bit.

That's it. That's all. We're just going through the cycles.

alright game plan: who‘s downloading all the old videos & putting it in a google drive & who is taking one for the team, getting that subscription & sharing their password with everyone?

When public services are affordable and convenient, people will always choose those resources. They are not supposed to be a capitalistic profit-seeking initiative, they are developed for the benefit of the people, for a better life, just as government resources should be used. (tweet)

"tumblr thinks this" "tumblr users act like that" the only thing all tumblr users do is look at posts.

I think any inanimate thing you regularly care for becomes a little alive.

the pride discourse is absolutely rancid this year, i have seen with my own two eyes so far

we should up to age of consent to 21

16 year olds shouldn’t know what sex is

drag is inherently sexual and inappropriate for children

Rants at the Hairdresser

her, behind me trimming my hair: "it's so wild how big cars are. Seems a bit dangerous, ya know?"

me, enjoying the smell of the stuff she sprayed in my hair: "Yeah, apparently that's because it's cheaper to have a car classified as a 'light truck' since you can get past safety regulations and they have different frames."

her, who has paused working on my hair: "Wait, are you serious?"

me: "Yeah, apparently it's a lot cheaper for companies to do that. And it really sucks since driving one of those cars is super dangerous, but it's even more dangerous for other people, especially if they're in a smaller car. Since it would be more safe to be another driver if they ALSO have a 'light truck,' everyone is caught in a cycle of getting bigger and bigger cars. All of which are extremely dangerous and have made being a pedestrian even more dangerous."

her: deep in thought, silent.

me, happy that someone is letting me rant about this: "Oh, the new Cadillacs are the size of tanks. That's not an exaggeration, by the way."

her, stunned: ???? "what the actual hell???"

we're silent for a bit

her, hesitantly, since I look like white trash and she has at least 10 piercings and pink hair: "I feel like America has been that way for a while... ya know?"

me: "Oh yeah, I totally get what you're saying, like, putting profit over people's safety?"

her, assured now that she knows we're both too commie pilled for this kind of conversation with someone else: "Yes! Exactly! It really sucks, right?"

me: "God, tell me about it"

I was very happy with my haircut, btw. She's so good at her job. :D

in addition to this great thread, i recommend reading “how the irish became white” by noel ignatiev.  i do expect a lot of fighting against these facts because these lies and myth are so ingrained and now have become a part of the community and the sense of self and pride of irish people.
