I wish she knew! I wish that more than anything.

I know none of y’all know me IRL but I just got my first college acceptance letter and I’m so so happy so I wanted to share :))

Often throughout this process I’ve felt like I was missing something that my peers and classmates had figured out, like I was weak for letting applications get the best of me and my mental health in the way that they did. 

It’s just such a huge relief to know that It was worth it and that even if I don’t end up getting into my top-choice schools I have a really solid option to fall back on :)

#my girlfriend does this thing #where she'll squish up her face and take a mental snapshot #and 'send it back' to her past self #she did it a lot when we started dating #like 'this moment is for us two months ago' 'this moment is for me last year' #and anyway. yeah #back then I didn't believe I could be as happy as I have been at college #even though it is hard and being a grownup is scary #high school isn't forever

skam sapphics + running

#god they are so important to me #sometimes I think about how I was 14 when skames s2 came out #and that kind of teenage-hood felt so far away and aspirational #then when druck s6 was airing I was exactly the same age as fatou and related to her so much #and now i'm a sophomore in college #in my first serious relationship #tuning in to the skamverse yet again #aaaaaaa #I've really grown up with this show

I don't want to belittle substance issues and how much they can affect relationships but as an american teen, watching Anais treat weed like its crack cocaine is soooo unserious

#ESPECIALLY when bobbie compared weed to alcohol and she's like “that's not fair they're different” #like...how so? #explain to me why one addictive substance is fine but the other is eeeeevil #but anyway! cultural differences ig #wtfock #anobbie

[kale-bun]

don't freak out guys but I might start watching skam again...

#I said DONT. freak out #clips of bobbie + anais keep popping up on my twitter tl #and if there's one thing I am it is weak #skam #wtfock

#shirley keeps it real always #a league of their own

Just finished a league of their own, and all I can really think to say is like.... THIS is what we mean when we say we can actually have realistic queer period pieces without exploitation and trauma-porn. 

#was it sad? yes #but it also showcased so much community and innovation and JOY #and thats what i valued the most #a league of their own

abbijacobson Didja know I’ve had the pleasure of knowing + loving this brilliant person for 15 years?! And that I got to make a show, @leagueonprime with her that airs on Aug. 12th?! 🥰

#theyre so !!!!!!! #a league of their own

[kale-bun]

hey. hey look at me. I need you to look at me and listen to me:

A League of Their Own (2022-) is about queer women.

and I'm not talking subtext or one gay kiss or a dead lesbian. I'm talking about the overwhelming majority of the characters are queer women. even black queer women. even a black trans man.

I implore you to support this show. get a trial month on amazon or borrow someone's password to stream, boost the show on social media, do whatever it takes but please. please don't let this show fizzle out after one season into obscurity. it is finally a show about sapphics that is good and complex and both entertaining and emotional and it's about real history and it still said "we will make them all queer". at least let the world know there really is a demand for these stories. stop posting about that show you hate for killing the one queer woman or for being about lesbians but being really biphobic or racist and instead start posting about this one. please.

even if you don't like the show, do it for all the shows centering queer women and telling diverse stories that will follow if it's a success.

#all of this #a league of their own

*sobs incoherently* 

NEED first kill to be renewed immediately so that they can get a bigger budget and some cohesive creative direction. the potential is there!!!! it really is!!

#babes i am PISSED #this aged so poorly :// #first kill #renew first kill #save first kill

I actually see this as them trying to do something positive and rectify the whole Ezria mess! 

I mean, they are (one of) the most glaring flaws of the OG series, so it makes sense that the new show runners would feel a level of responsibility to portray the dangers of grooming, especially since most Original Sin viewers watched the OG as young teens and might have internalized certain messages about those relationships.

Tabby’s boss is explicitly creepy, and audiences would be hard pressed to romanticize his interactions with Tabby in the same way they did Aria and Ezra. 

We can't have a single episode of PLL with no adult men interested in minors huh

#of course any portrayal like this makes me deeply uncomfortable #but at the same time its very very important to recognize key signs of grooming #and certain phrases like you're so mature/different for your age that r basically textbook manipulation methods #all in all so far they've done a MUCH better job than i expected #PLL #pll original sin #original sin #pllos #tabby haworthe
