@_sorrengailll I’m autistic. It’s too much sensory, makes me feel like there’s dirt on my face. I also have a lot of allergies, hell I have to constantly switch deodorants.
I love makeup though, and am always in awe of the cool shit people do with it
I was born in 1961 too.
And this version of the past is a myth.
Kids did have food allergies we just didn’t have the science to name them.
I lost a brother before he was two because medicine didn’t yet understand what allergy killed him.
Trans kids didn’t “not exist.”
They hid. They were shamed. Many never survived adolescence.
Violence didn’t start with social media.
Bullying, racism, misogyny, and abuse were simply normalized and ignored.
Families didn’t stay together because things were better
they stayed together because women and children had fewer choices.
And no, it wasn’t just “Merry Christmas.”
We said Happy Holidays. Season’s Greetings. Yuletide.
Nobody lost their mind. Nobody felt threatened. We just… lived.
I rode buses and subways too
they weren’t magically safer.
We just didn’t talk about what happened on them.
What really changed wasn’t people.
It was visibility.
Data replaced denial.
Voices replaced silence.
And accountability replaced nostalgia.
The past wasn’t safer.
It was quieter because suffering had nowhere to go.
I don’t want a time machine.
I want a future where we stop confusing silence with peace.
Stop being such a boomer.
btw in your 20's and 30’s you’ll start rediscovering the niche interests and hobbies you had as a kid. it’s very important you revisit them. your younger self was actually on to something.
Yeah they are. Hitler had no understanding of linear perspective. He was rejected from the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts (the best arts school in Europe at the time, I should add) by a reactionary anti-modern art painter because of this slapdash quality
My advice for horror without looking at gore? Look up refs of fruit. Open pumpkins, pomegranates, passion fruit, peeled oranges, they all have an unsettling but natural look to them
@meowchoso Listerine is your best friend for this. You don’t want to kill GOOD bacteria.
You can technically drink rubbing alcohol but uhhh it’ll just make you throw up lol
you just met your guardian angel, he's covered in blood and the first thing he yells is WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE WANT TO KILL YOU?! (he adapts tho. like maybe too enthusiastically)
