If your parents belittle you, call you names, dismiss your passions and interests, prevent you from doing things that make you happy–
If your parents don’t let you have age-appropriate independence, or if they never let you defend yourself, or if they passive-aggressively manipulate you into feeling guilty for disappointing them–
If your parents slap you–
If your parents say it’s just “tough love,” or that you’re too young and naive to understand right now, or that your parents are the only people who know what’s best for you–
Your parents are wrong. This isn’t normal. This isn’t just “brown culture” or “poc culture.” This is emotional (and sometimes physical) abuse. You deserve better. Please never let your parents’ actions define your self-worth. You are so much more than just the flaws your parents are so fond of pointing out. You are bigger and better than the way they treat you. You are kindness and passion and determination and beauty. You deserve the world.

Capitalism.I kind of want to cry
Global capitalism needs to die.
This is what’s called Alienation of Labour.

this really makes you think…….
the chances of a deadly terrorist happening on a commercial flight is so so slim yet we’re still required to go through these strict ass security procedures at the airport. school shootings are happening almost every week and the government isn’t going jack shit
Priorities.
kind of insidious how “””feminine beauty”””” requires so many uncomfortable processes to execute — removal of body hair, wearing constricting clothes & undergarments, dieting, applying makeup, trying to navigate the world in heels, etc……… …….. women always have to be smaller, less free. Almost like the male-oriented beauty ideal is based in a fantasy of control. Weird
