My apartment building has coin-op laundry in the basement, and on the shelf where people store detergent there are also just enough quarters to start one load in the washer. This is the collective “oh shit I forgot my quarters” bank that anyone can borrow from to start laundry without having to climb all the way back up the goddamn stairs first. These quarters have been steadily used and replaced for multiple years now, and every time I see them I think about how upon such small foundations rests all of human society.
was trying to find something in google images and got side tracked when they said “look at the anime images you have!” and I was like what fucking Anime images do I have. what the hell. and it was just these two
saw someone refer to not knowing how to keep track of your money as “girl math” ……why are we in this weird era of treating women like idiots but repackaging it to sound cute and quirky. We All Need To Stop
saw an interesting video about how this trend might have begun because a lot of younger millennial and gen z people don’t feel deserving of calling themselves adults because we don’t have the signifiers of adulthood we recognize in previous generations, we don’t have kids, we can’t own a house, we aren’t married, etc. that’s why “"adulting”“ was used too because for many young people, being an adult is something you must act as, it’s an action you must do, and not something that you just are, when you don’t feel like you’ve reached those milestones. "girl____” kind of feels like it started as a coping mechanism to deal with the fact that yes, these people are literally adults, but they don’t have the same freedom and agency as previous generations who own houses and land and have stable jobs. those are “women”, while young people relate closer to “girl”
but yes I think it was also quickly co-opted by people who didn’t get the joke and think it just is an easy way to be misogynistic :/
“As someone who gets to bring joy to others daily on tv, it’s been ironic that I don’t experience it as much as I’d like. I advocate mental health for all and a part of that is self transparency. In doing my work, I’ve come to see a few truths, one of them being that I want to be free to love whomever I want. This truth makes me Pan and part of the lgbtq+ family. It’s scary as hell to say out loud but here it is. The people I admire the most are the ones brave enough to be themselves unapologetically. This shouldn’t shake anyone’s world, but if it bothers you at all, that’s your business:) I was so afraid of having my manhood questioned, but screw that. A "real man” in my eyes, isn’t afraid to be honest and happy. From now on, I’ll be over here living my best life! I love you"

that influencer on the jimmy kimmel show a month later: yeah jimmy it’s hard to say where my inspiration comes from. i just… i think when i wrote the line “i call my girl Cran cause she’s Berries” it was just sort of a spur-of-the-moment thing, but it turned out to be something that everyone can relate to, which is really heart-warming. it’s one of those things that, like, reminds me that i can uplift people and be a voice for them. yeah i do have a new makeup line coming out, “Cran and Bloom,” which was inspired by my now-famous tiktok
