Girls get made fun of for everything might as well do what you want lol
not to be dramatic but this mentality literally freed me
In high school I realized this and it broke my brain a little, but it was very freeing. I realized I would never do anything right in the eyes of everyone else. So if none of them could be happy, at least I could have fun.
I realize this broke all my female training, made me louder, less compliant, less likely to take the blame for men, less likely to apologize, and that all of that means there are many angry men crying in my wake because I didn’t fit the servile image they’d been taught to consume. But I did meet a better class of men who are thinkers and feminists. I made better friends. I had a better life.
For those of you who don’t know (aka me until 30 minutes ago) there’s a couple websites that will help you out with your ballot for this year’s upcoming mid term elections but I wanna talk about one specifically. It helps out by telling you who is running for what and all the verified information that they have for that candidate. It also let’s you save them to your OWN makeshift ballot that you can use as a reference when voting time comes!! The website itself is run by people who identify as Liberals and they really try their best to educate you on all the matters. It’s called ballotready.org. Here’s a link!
What gets me is that initial pause. The bird knows this song. He knows when the drum comes in. Being able to anticipate musical rhythm is a form of intelligence very few species have, and this is the most remarkable example of it I’ve ever seen in a bird. The cockatoo knew to wait for the drums.
