Always so fascinated with blue eyeshadow for its rich history, from symbolizing divinity in ancient Egypt to a sign of rebellion against the rigid beauty standards. Hollywood even tried “vilifying” the color by making female villains use blue eyeshadow (eg. Zinnia from Matilda).
“Once one has survived something then survival itself interferes with understanding, and you don’t even know which lives came before and which is your life of today, you even mix up your own lives.”

@madfieId A proper reading on SOGIESC could’ve unravelled their internalized homophobia, but unfortunately, it sounds like a far-off dream for Indo queers.
@hurtleap More reason to wear blue eyeshadow, isn’t it? Sort of similar to how denim was originally workwear associated with blue-collar laborers until it shifted into a foundational fashion staple.
RTs are appreciated! A few titles of my book collections are up for sale to free up some space off my bookshelves

@tangIedribs “If you have this eye shape then you’re a bambi girl!” “You’re a siren girl!” It’s all capitalism and physiognomy repackaged. 😭 Don’t let the internet slap a fixed label on you when you are a garden of abundance.
@tangIedribs I’m sooo curious about your skripsi. Hopefully you’ll get an A for it! :-) Got me missing doing research papers again… Worth losing sleep over ngl…
