hey dont cry okay? women with broad shoulders
Need that heavy rain sound type of night
when i was a teenager it felt very revolutionary to be cruel to myself. like some kind of slow passive protest against how much everything hurt. i starved myself of sleep and food and tenderness because it felt right. it felt sharp and angry and radical and i wanted to be those things. adulthood is the realisation that the world is already working to cut into you well before you learn how to do it yourself. caring for yourself and others is the real protest
i keep seeing the gif set so here’s the video clip
LeFou: Oop!
Gaston: Everyone knows her father’s a lunatic. He was in here tonight, raving—

Gaston: Whoo! Slow down, Maurice.
Maurice: [exclaims]
What gets me is they throw the glowsticks out with him.
I am so happy so many Asian Americans are hip to what DeSatan is trying to do. Especially the youth, Gen Z ain’t the 1 or the 2.
I’m glad this is being said, too, because I’ve already heard some murmurs about “Asian always get treated better.” Not really, they’re being used in exactly the way the video highlights. And, knowing Asian people are already facing hate and attacks from so many other groups, they should be upset they’re being used AGAIN as a scapegoat. This is putting them directly in harm’s way. And the government doesn’t care that they’re doing it. No marginalized group is ever truly safe, no matter where you are on the hierarchy; if you’re not at the top, you’re in danger. I know solidarity is something else right now, but we have to remember that divided we fall. White supremacy is always trying to divide every group (by race, by gender, by sexuality, by social class, etc) to fight amongst themselves and keep people from uniting against the common enemy. Those who can see it, I’m thankful for you. Because, when you look at history, the main times we were able to make change was when we all came together. That will always remain true. Keep trying to get others to see it, too.
