Grotesque Visor, Southern Germany, Circa 1560

Reading 100 years of solitude right now and so much happens constantly. There's years and years of family drama in twenty pages and now I need an eye rest yeesh!

I was once talking with a friend about how I hated our beauty standards and I half jokingly said that I wanted to be an ugly girl to stick it to society and she said “yeah you are ugly fully seriously” like what the fuck? She ended up being a radfem txrf anywayyyy 🙄🙃

telling butch lesbians to “be ugly” when rejecting feminine beauty standards is nice but butchness is something that lesbians find beautiful and desirable so maybe instead of telling butches to accept that they are ugly in a het world tell them that they dont have to live in a world where they’re considered ugly. you dont have to accept being ugly bc you arent ugly to us.

Saving for later!

dam…….. that website “you feel like shit” (it’s like a questionnaire / troubleshooting guide for when you feel like shit) really works………………….. im not even all the way thru it and i even half-assed a lot of the suggestions and i already feel loads better

SMOG - Weapons by Alexander Trufanov

In my stage adaptation, I’m struggling to decide which nationality Nemo should be. I’m making him a violent narcissist and I don’t want to come off like ‘the scary horrible Indian man captures these white people.’ But maybe his rage against imperialism heightens the audiences empathy and helps his actions make sense? Or perhaps I could keep his nationality vague like the book to add to his vampiric air. Much to think about!

raw charisma

melancholic solitude

gutwrenching bleeding-heart sympathy for the oppressed

philosophical ambiguity so intricately multilayered that it offsets the murder stuff
