Writer and RiteGud co-host Raquel S Benedict criticizing sanitized portrayals of queerness in media.
“They teach their children to drive a sword into the heart of anything that’s different, and I’M the monster??” damn they did NOT hold back on the dialogue for this movie, and I love that
Imagine actively choosing to be hateful and cruel and embittered when the world is already painful and fatiguing… pick another path, babe
Frankly some of you should be hornier over weirder shit. The fear of being too genuine is the enemy of art. Be a bit of a pervert. It’s good for the health. Doesn’t have to be a sexual thing just own up to being a bit obsessed in some cringe shit it’s fine.
“you don’t like the proliferation of terms like Unalive outside of TikTok because you realize that you’re aging out of youth culture and it makes you uncomfortable!”
no I don’t like it because there’s something INCREDIBLY dystopian about being forced to soften terms for basic parts of the human experience like death and sex (and even more so terms for oppressed minorities- call me a “le-dollar sign-bian” and I will bite you) purely because advertisers and corporations demand it
The idea that young people are getting used to not being able to speak in public about sex, queerness etc without talking around censors, and see this as normal and not a problem, scares me tbh.
the three inventions the world needs the most are cure for cat allergy, strap-on you can feel, and cigarette that’s good for you. scientists get on this right now please

(celebrated children’s fantasist) diana wynne jones said that she once wandered into beatrix potter’s yard by accident as a kid and got chased off because beatrix potter disliked children, which really fits into the rest of this quite neatly
“Slow is often overlooked in rushed culture. Its’ oracle is not acknowledged, properly understood, or respected. The slow breath. A slow first kiss. Slowly disrobing in front of a lover. Slow lovemaking. Slow to get up out of a warm bed. Slow stretching. Slow yoga. Slow bathing. Slow and steady. Slowly walking through an airport to catch a flight. Slow decision-making. Slow crockpot cooking. Slow eating. Slow creativity. The pause before we speak. When we give ourselves (our cells) permission to slow down, our whole system is met in a magical place where regeneration and rejuvenation naturally begin to occur without any effort from us.”— India Ame’ye, Author, Energy of Gods (via eatmangoesnekkid)
