milk is neat because its the only drink i can think of where you desperately want it cold and yet it would be unthinkable to put ice cubes in. a delicate limbo. a yuri of abscence. this post is nothing but you can look at it if youd like
i get that i can expect to see the “unreality” tag a lot on my stuff. i post a lot of weird eldritch shit and even when i post something that isn’t it’s still deeply steeped in my nonsense.
but i’m fucking losing my mind at how even my posts that are correct and true will be tagged that. fatal incuriosity is inescapable when you’re me.
my “a coin is a three sided object. never forget that.” post earned an unreality tag at one point
i’m sorry but maybe you’re not the best watchdog for what’s real and what isn’t, champ. i think being the arbiter of reality requires at least a basic understanding of 3d space.
tumblr users experiencing “unreality”
i once posted the south up map in here and someone tagged it unreality… buddy that’s the earth……..
There’s a specific thing some artists do where they draw girls super detailed but guys are just like doodles. And that’s how I perceive real life actually
I will start by saying I fully believe cosmetic surgeries should be available to anyone at all - and they’re not. They are available to wealthy people to fit into certain roles any time THEY want, regardless of gender. The problem isn’t the surgeries, it’s the evils of capitalism on the entire industry and how this shit is marketed to literally torment people into misery.
I’m going to speak from my own personal experience, as an intersex person who developed “wrong”. I wanted breast augmentation by the time I was 12. I was obsessing over rhinoplasty to get rid of the indigenous nose my mom gave me, labioplasty bc I didn’t look like a porn star, and liposuction and facial reconstruction by the time I was 14. I focused all of my energy towards myself into changing myself to be a conventionally and sexually attractive white female. I went to a rich high school where teen girls were getting cosmetic rhinoplasty already. It was normal. I hated every aspect of my body so viciously until I hit a suicidal wall when I was in my late 20s. It wasn’t something that washed away once I became an adult.
When people bring up the cosmetic and beauty industry being fucking horrible for quite literally conditioning all of us to believe we NEED physical alterations to find happiness in life, this is what they’re talking about. There are all sorts of unnecessary anti-aging procedures peddled to young people of all genders, for the sake of making money. People are intentionally conditioned to be insecure and self hating TO MAKE SOMEONE MONEY. And people who can’t afford these procedures are still subject to the same marketing, taking on the same mental damage with no ability to do anything about it.
This is a heavily nuanced conversation! I don’t think anyone is bad for wanting cosmetic procedures at all, but I do think the industry is bad for preying on the insecurities of literal children and feeding those insecurities every year that you live on this earth. It is absurd to pretend there isn’t both a need for access to cosmetic surgeries for autonomy reasons AND that there’s not a massive issue with predation in this industry. Capitalism kills in every way it can. Telling you subtly every year of your life that you’ll never look acceptable unless you’re rich is one way to crush people’s fighting spirit.
