like why not challenge why youre slaughtering the aliens to begin with? what are their motivations? half the time it just seems like theyre framed "monster just want destruction lawl"

idk just frustrating that even the positive themes arent truly followed through on

also the whole setup of like "one boy and one girl pilot" is super weird and the sex metaphor is bazaar. like i think the idea of an intimate connection between people controlling something is interesting! but the way its handled is just fucking weird and just serves to

perpetuate the same gross male gaze shit. like the men are in control of the ships? wtf? and the women are like moaning and stuff but the guys never experience the same trouble connecting. like its so fucking weird

zero two could be an incredible character if given the right environment but its just weird now :/

the very foundation of the show is based on hierarchy and an awful gender ideology, and the writing/directing just reinforces rather than challenges it. infects everything :/

not to mention adult supremacy, human supremacy, and competitive toxic masculinity

like discrimination against zero two as an alien is framed as this thing that has to be overcome and that 016 is so progressive for not caring but like... its literally just a human with tiny horns. like this message is not challenging anything

starting darling in the franxx, theres a lot that i like but oh my god its almost unwatchable. the fanservice EXCLUSIVELY done to women characters is fucking awful and constant, and even the MC girl who is like sexually confident gets sexualized by the camera angles

Bloom Into You is giving me the opportunity to look into asexual and aromantic stuff more and its so interesting! like sex favorable asexuals are so fascinating and its super freeing to have this understanding to describe things

like it gives great insight and examples of people can relate to each other and gives a really powerful tool to understand how to navigate relationship anarchy

guitar riffs can make me feel the most intense emotions

I go through these periods where my head is just so full and I feel paralyzed from doing anything. I'm tired out from something (in this case, finishing classes) and I want to relax, but its hard. There's this sort of moral anxiety where I can't let myself enjoy media

because everythings just infected with gross immoral shit like on so many levels. I can't turn of the critical analysis part of my brain. Even though I value that and think its important I'd like to just chill out sometimes

The only other option from commercialized gross shit is lefty stuff but that also makes me critically think too :/ I struggle to relax

nevermind i found horimiya and both mcs give me so much gender euphoria (could do without the queerbating tho wish theyd just commit)

the opening to episode 10 😐gay shit is treated like a joke its so annoying it could actually be cool. also the monogamy based drama is weird - still a super super cute show tho

lol im doing what i complained about at the start of this thread but now im enjoying it

nyquil fucks my sleep so much no sleep all night so tired but body doesn't recognize sleep signal bc medicine does!!! teehee

alternatively, spurious correlation but idk i feel like this happened to me before

bruh how am i still sick. this shit sucks

Oscar Pollock is so fucking hot omg

i feel like i only like AMAB ppl that are at least somewhat queer. idk what to make of that, cishet guys just boring ig

also complicated to disaggregate gender euphorbia and attraction lol

(Btw example of state having some positive effect: keeping serial rapist out of community. We can do lots to alleviate material conditions preventatively, but things like that will still occur. There can be solutions to this without being as cruel as prison, and it would be more

Effective at rehabilitation and restoration. However, it cannot be denied that the state can handle this niche case by at minimum preventing further cases. Don’t pretend like “it just won’t happen lol” or “self defense lol” - deal with the challenge)

Are alternatives, sometimes people just categorically rule out that the state can have any positive impact. This isn’t to say that a state is necessary, but pretending doesn’t do any good. You’ll give lackluster responses to important questions and that everything will just work

Out. I can agree that morally speaking anarchism has incredibly strong foundations, it’s just a matter of working (wink) to discover the best approaches to achieve those ends. Ultimately in some cases the practical reality may preclude the idealism, but there must be a constant

Effort to strive towards liberation.

It’s incredibly easy to be an anarchist if you just imagine the state’s coercive power never has or had any benefit, and was exclusively and intentionally maliciously created to hold power over others. While there may be a great deal of truth to that explanation, and that there

1 paper submitted, next one will be super easy. I hope grading goes ok, way over the word count and the format is all fucky, gah

I wanted to tweet last night about how fast an Advil I took worked but I was too tired lol

Somehow I’ve become sick :/ Family gathering this weekend or the 2 runs I went on somehow got me here. Feel like shit

holy fuck my anxiety is like out of control holy shit

"fuck fuck fuck fuck" "im sorry fuck im sorry" "oh god shit fuck" just cant stop lol its fucking awful

I feel really fucking overwhelmed right now - hard to focus on any one thing

hate my body :/

And I know it’s bullshit but it’s still hard

really frustrating problem of recreating uncomfortable social situations and then verbally expressing something. had this for a long long time just kinda really frustrating. and beating myself up for it after it happens just makes it worse im sure but :/

I think it’s really hard for me to imagine a future for myself without a lot of restraints. I really just want minimal constraints on myself, the “natural” constraints of things like having to eat and being stuck in this physical body are enough already

Work, exclusionary relationships, even clubs and stuff. Idk just that commitment ruins the spontaneous free association I want to be able to have. Coercive structures just ruin so much.

I feel like I have so much to say about this but nothings really coming out rn ig. I’m struggling for now

I jog like 100 yards every few days and now my metabolism is like 📈

I feel so restless, I can’t sleep and I don’t feel relaxed after work

boysmell uwu
