“I never look back darling! It distracts from the now.”

- Edna Mode, The Incredibles (2004)

All this yapping about “white-feminism” sure hasn’t translated into any material effort to uplift the voices of non-western women huh. If liberals listened to non-western feminists instead of talking over them to complain about “white-feminism”  we might actually get somewhere. Why does Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie realize that men cannot become women and liberals do not? Why are indian women against surrogacy but liberals think it is harmless? Why are south-asian feminists fighting for sex-segregation whenever possible and liberals are not? Why are korean women marching against pornography? Why are they destroying their make-up to fight impossible beauty standards but in the orwellian rreality of the liberal left porn is empowering and make up is self-expression? Girls in Benin city do not think sex work is work, why do liberals? What are the chances upper-middle class white westeners are right and they are wrong? Self-serving, shameful overcompensation and nothing more.

a friendly reminder :D

idk who needs to hear this today, but just a friendly reminder; if you’re scared that you might be faking something*, you are not faking it.

people who fake something know they’re faking it. 

since you’re worried that you might be faking it, and not confident in the fact that you actually are faking it, you are not faking.

hope this helped you as much as it helped me! :D

*this can apply to mental illness, neurodivergencies, sexuality, gender identity, etc.

“Study me as much as you like, you will never know me. For I differ a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes, and see me as I see myself. Because I have chosen to dwell in a place you can’t see.”

— Rumi (via purplebuddhaquotes)

These are difficult times. It’s okay if you’re struggling right now.
