girls in my phone hear me when i say my one and only hope for you all is that it goes fantastic for you and that your head cooperate with your body
people on tumblr can never say “i have anxiety” it’s always gotta be some shit like “obbghhhg the scaryfulness persists”

this radiooooo site is so good but I keep getting songs that are making me crazy like I need this song on my life and then spotify is like "you think we have a band from 1970's Iceland on here???"
graphic design is so important and the proof is all these ugly ass random pride flags lmao
Mary Wallace, the first female bus driver in Chicago, 1974.
I wish Americans fucked with more foreign music. You don’t have to know the language to appreciate a good record. Folks in other countries listen to our music and don’t speak a lick of english. Music needs no translator
yall wont trick me into listening to kpop
You can try Radiooooo.com - The Musical Time Machine!!
choose a country, pick a decade, and GO!!
you’ll get an endless streaming of songs (ad free!).
I personally found myself loving 1970s Ghana, Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire! Also 1920s and 1970s Japan for sure! Cambodian music: spectacular. Love Armenia and Mali as well. I’ve been told 70s Germany is weird and 30s Algeria is cool but I haven’t gotten around to those yet. Italy’s 1960s is bomb ofc but I’m biased ;)
This is the best website anyone has ever shared.
coming soon to the nentendo switch..................... ya mama lol

In response to your post about recently peaking: I think I'm still very much in the progress of getting into radical feminism, but one of the things that made me start to search it out was the huge discrepancy I noticed online with regard to how for example J.K. Rowling is treated by TRAs compared to any man ever who also has a "bad" opinion. That made me want to look up what so-called TERFs actually have to say, and I had to admit to myself that a lot of it made sense. A lot of things I felt uncomfortable about regarding gender politics and sexwork for example started falling into place as I read through more radfem blogs on tumblr. I want to use my free time this summer to read some proper feminist literature (very open for recommendations!)
I must say I feel hesitant sometimes to go further and actually peak though, because ever since I went on this journey a few months ago I've started to notice the misogyny in many places where I could ignore it before, and it scares me sometimes. I'm worried that if I become to aware the anger I feel about how women are treated will keep growing and I won't know what to do with it.
Sorry for rambling in your askbox! It felt kinda nice to write it all out once, I don't feel comfortable yet discussing all these thoughts with the people in my life unfortunately
Anger can be a very productive emotion if you're willing. I've been watching a youtuber who does recaps of SisterWives, and she said something in one of her videos recently that I agree with but never heard it articulated this way. I'm paraphrasing but: Emotions are like our five senses, they're there to give us information. Then, you have to process that information and decide how to act on it.
The example she gave is if you see someone far away that looks like your friend, but you're not sure - your eyes gave you information, but you have to go look closer to investigate to see if it's really them. If you feel angry, you have to investigate and take some time exploring why, and to what extent, and what you're willing to do about it.
Maybe you've never had anyone say this to you plainly but: I don't see my ideologies as an identity. I don't see my social identities as extensions of my virtue. I'm not afraid to get angry because if I'm angry it's probably something worth getting angry about. As with sadness, or happiness.
Misogyny is scary, but life has many facets, and truth is a worthwhile pursuit. I can't imagine my life another way because I can only be living this life as me, and like every life, it's full of complexities. I'm subjugated, I'm privileged, I'm a good person who has made bad choices, I'm a smart person who can be obtuse, I've been poor but never the poorest, I come from grandfathers who fought in wars and grandmothers who raised children in a bad religion yet they are all so deeply in my heart, and I've had to weigh my values against self serving decisions time and time again to get some of the comforts I have now. I have to live in the world now, and I'd rather live with open eyes despite any pain, because otherwise I miss out on joy. This is my only chance of joy, so I'm taking it. I will never turn my back on knowledge lest I leave joy on the table. Maybe one day, you'll see what I mean. Good luck sis! Thanks for sharing :)

i peaked & stopped identifying as nonbinary recently but it was sort of a long time coming – boring history of my tumblr career incoming, feel free to ignore i don't mind ❤️
i was a young teen theythemming it on tumblr back in the ace discourse days, and it seemed obvious to me then that a straight person is not lgbt just because they're asexual, but the popular opinion on it changed to "ace exclusionist=terf". which looking back i probably should have seen as a sign that terf=sane person. but i just accepted that my opinion was taboo and stopped talking about it.
i never identified as "queer" or thought that it was right for lgbts to expect other lgbt people to identify as a slur, but they brought it to the point where that was a requirement. so i was jaded with queer tumblr all around and stopped engaging with it, but still IDd as nonbinary as i felt uncomfortable with womanhood (mainly bc i'm unfeminine & not usually perceived as a woman in public, but if i don't identify as a woman then it's like it's my choice to not be seen as a woman)
then a few months back, whenever i saw someone commenting "shut up terf" type stuff in the replies to someone's post, i would start "hatereading" whichever radfem blog they were replying to lol. from there it didn't take long to get to the point where i couldnt deny that the evil terfs were just feminists, the kweers were mostly lying, and i don't need to be nonbinary i can just be a woman and be a lesbian and be "masculine" even if i'm not always seen as a woman
hopefully, an easier mental load now :) good luck sis!
