Being mentally ill means random people will assume shit about you because of your diagnosis

you wanna see one of my favorite bots of new york posts ever?

literally everything about this is perfect. i can't believe this is a bot post.

Just read through the Paper Girls comic for the first time and OW

The spirit of Diogenes is alive and well

Hey, as an American, if you Aren't one maybe you can show some fucking sympathy to the people who are going to suffer right now. The amount of posts I've seen from non-americans saying shit like "lol greatest country in the world" and essentially laughing at us is not fucking comforting and can be really upsetting. Acknowledge that this is going to hurt us (we certainly fucking have) because we didn't just lose Roe v. Wade, we lost so much more. Read the fucking room for once.

i wanna start a riot grrrl band so that a bunch of pretty punk girls join and one day at band practice i give the lyrics to a love song i wrote to lead singer so we can play it and half way through singing it she realizes it’s about her

watched Fleabag for the first time after being exposed to the "i love you"/"it'll pass" exchange like a million times on the internet and I expected it to wreck me but it was strangely so comforting

CRUEL SUMMER SPOILERS BELOW

I’m really annoyed about the Jeanette reveal because everyone calling Jeanette shady for doing things that actually made sense was validated. Like… the girl had a mother who was also constantly seeking validation and approval of more “popular” girls (see the post-yoga scene, Jeanette’s mom was also very excited about the Wallis girls in general bc they’re celebrity-adjacent), she was bound to want to have the Kate Wallis life and openly admire her. They had an opportunity to show that sometimes ppl have behaviors we don’t understand that aren’t harmful while people who seem to act completely within social boundaries do cause harm. Now little things like “Jeanette was excited to find out gossip about the popular girl being missing because she thought having this info would give her social gain” turns into “Jeanette was excited Kate was missing”.

They made it a story of two girls against each other and jealousy instead of letting it remain a story about the ways adults can be more interested in clout and social standing than the safety of their kids. We got one scene of Kate confronting her mother about how she taught her to be obedient. One. We had that “scary story” scene which was unexplored. The adults in this show invited a man to SLEEP OVER at a lakehouse-cabin-thing with their MINOR CHILDREN and they’d just met him.  

Maybe I’m overreacting because I was the harmless socially ostracized kid who just wanted to have friends, and I was groomed by a “trusted adult”, but i feel like turning Jeanette into a villain really takes away from the fact that adults failed both of those girls.
