There’s that post going around like “would you be diagnosed with female hysteria in the 1800s?” like bitch I’m diagnosed with BPD I’m diagnosed with it NOW
bbc merlin’s political agenda of “i’ll wait for the king to die and fuck his son so good, he’ll have to adopt my politics” was actually so ahead of its time
“We have many obstacles to overcome before we can truly experience this love that now suffocates me all day and night long (and the nights of lonely desire and love are heavy and long). We will overcome them. But I already know that I am bound to you by the strongest bond in life.”
— Albert Camus to Maria Casarès, Correspondance, December 14, 1949 [#102]
i saw some comments on tiktok where people were talking bout how they found tumblr too hard to use and part of it being that there was no lack of dates so “what if you reblog or like something from five years ago?!”
buddy… we have posts circulating still from 2011, its literally just how it is
man the britney spears testimony is chilling. she can’t drive, cant choose her therapist or any person around her, is forced to perform and train or she’ll be put on meds and restrained at home, cant see her kids or even have a new child, was forced to get an IUD which she can’t have taken out, can’t even choose her own food and bedtime. it’s very much institutionalisation except she still has to perform to make money for her family (the same that claim she shouldn’t have autonomy over her own life) and can’t even change a single dance move in her choreography. it’s just. christ.
see what i mean by parents feeling ownership over their children. her parents were allowed to suspend her autonomy as an adult too.
and like. she’s a rich cis white woman (though tbh she can barely touch the money she makes for her abusers)! and her disability and status is still enough to completely suspend her autonomy in the most abusive way, to even deny her the ability to have kids or refuse food. this is an absolute nightmare. imagine what it’s like for institutionalised working class folks too. poor folk, people of color, trans people who also had their autonomy suspended that way and are institutionalised or under conservationship. im really glad she got this opportunity to speak, no matter how short it was. but christ is it heartbreaking.
ra ra rasputin is objectively the funniest song ever written it’s like “rasputin was an advisor to the romanovs and honestly he was a bit of a power-hungry conman (oof)… but you’re not here for a history lesson! you want to know how much he fucked, don’t you? well i’ll tell you: he fucked. he fucked often and severely.”
