Society if Russel Crowe's and Ryan Goslings characters kissed in The Nice Guys (2016)
People on here and Twitter are turning the term “refugee” into some sort of joke - so I’m just going to kindly ask everyone to stop tossing the term refugee around like it’s not an extremely politically charged term
- sincerely, someone who’s family are literally refugees

Léon Bakst - Curtain design for Paradise, Act IV, in Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien (The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian), circa 1911.
“It's taboo to admit that you're lonely. You can make jokes about it, of course. You can tell people that you spend most of your time with Netflix or that you haven't left the house today and you might not even go outside tomorrow. But rarely do you ever tell people about the true depths of your loneliness, about how you feel more and more alienated from your friends each passing day and you're not sure how to fix it. It seems like everyone is just better at living than you are. A part of you knew this was going to happen. Growing up, you just had this feeling that you wouldn't transition well to adult life, that you'd fall right through the cracks. And look at you now, it's happening.”
Toni Morrison? Alice Walker? Zora Neale Hurston? Ralph Ellison? James Baldwin? Lorraine Hansbury? Maya Angelou? Octavia Butler? Langston Hughes? Bell Hooks? Many many many many others? Go fuck yourself you lazy, anti-intellectual asshole
if your female character doesn’t look like she has lived the life she leads and you can’t get a sense for her actual personality by looking at her because you’re too focused on making her pretty and perfect and palatable it’s bad character design and you should feel bad
"When people talk about gender-affirming surgery using words like “mutilation,” that's not very nice. Is that how you think about people who've had surgery for other things? It's a disgust reaction, and I do not take disgust into account as a legitimate point of discourse. I don't have to entertain it and I'm not going to. It's a waste of everybody's time, it's knee-jerk, it's not grounded in reality, and it's not useful. And it's a squeamishness about medical intervention. I think the idea of making legislative or cultural decisions in and around [that] is laughable. Your squeamishness is not what the world turns on; it doesn't matter."

people on here legitimately do not understand how psychosis works. the most common psychotic delusions are persecutory--you're being stalked, watched, conspired against, etc. something like "a hog was elected president" is not going to cause someone to spiral in a delusional state. while the internet may portray delusions as a quirky silly meme, they are actually quite terrifying. imagine suddenly thinking everyone you relied on and trusted is conspiring against you. imagine failing to convince people of dangers you believe exist that they will call you crazy over. the situation feels hopeless and you just want everything to end. ok this turned into a vent LMFAO but you get the point
