“If I Had A Flower For Every Time I Thought Of You…I Could Walk Through My Garden Forever.”

i know the tiktok part was a key part of the joke but the mississippi instead of norway was peak comedy

i broke a nail at work on tuesday, then got nausea and hot flashes and peeled the skin off my hand sliding down the wall, and the next day cut another finger. i am she. she is me. we are one.

I hurt my back pretty reasonably at work today and unfortunately I couldn’t stop laughing because my first thought was “workplace injury barbie”

maybe a unique take but i feel like “feminism” is one of those things that got misconstrued societally. so now additional semantics are necessary to have discussions about feminism, which makes those discussions even harder to have.

and being a “girls girl” is just an extension of feminism that’s also being abused, calling someone a “pick me” is definitely deserved when they in fact were putting down other women for “traditional female things”. i’ve only ever directly called something “pick me” behavior when this girl wrote a long ass paragraph about how much it sucked that most girls acted scared when a group of dudes ran up to them with a basketball, hoop, and camera in their face instead of trying to shoot the ball and “being fun”. pick me asf for so many reasons.

and the “my roman empire” is a woman’s way to relate to a man. it kinda shows that women aren’t always cooking up schemes when quiet and thinking, similarly to how men are often thinking about somewhat random subjects regularly, like the roman empire. it’s a joke all around because i’m sure men really don’t think about the roman empire that much.

and older girls clinging to their girlhood in modern society where it’s being taken from them at earlier and earlier ages seems super reasonable to me. and i could honestly see there being some kind of psychological or sociological reason behind that response. and this is an issue for men as well. the modern mentality does not foster youth, it corrupts them.

there’s good and bad people of any sex, and this kind of perspective (placing all of this in the hands of girls, seemingly those middle aged and younger, heavy on the younger) kinda contributes to the problem. as in- assigning thoughts and beliefs to the collective (not topical perspective but the points included to make it). in my opinion, in the ripe year of 2024, it shouldn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman in most contexts. some behavior is typical of a man or a woman but it’s not fair to equate social media trends to an assessment of what “woman-hood” or “girl-hood” are, were, or will be about. its individual, and neither of those two things truly exists.

i hate how "being a girl's girl" has replaced feminism. I hate that enforced conformity has replaced genuine compassion for and solidarity with other women. I hate how women call each other "pick me's" for not conforming to femininity or for daring to critique something other women like. I hate how we just keep finding new socially acceptable ways to bully other women for being unattractive or outspoken or difficult or complicated or weird or ambitious or for not performing femininity. I hate those front facing camera "comedians" whose whole thing is making up a straw-woman to make fun of. I hate the obsession with "girlhood" and clinging to being a girl instead of a woman. i hate "the girl version of the roman empire" and "girlhood" and it's just consumerism and I hate the characterised of girlhood as passivity, niceness, sweetness, helplessness and frivolity and I hate the revival of gender essentialism even as a joke!!!

i was sitting with this guy helping him with hmwk and we both glanced out the window at the same time and he goes “omg i have a boner”. and i was like omg what the fuck what do i say? so i was like “hey man that’s great”

he saw a teacher we had in the summer semester, we made jokes about her being a dick doctor that loves a man with good strong knees. he was saying (jokingly) that she’d made him chub up.

thought i was in a YA novel for a second tho ngl
