Okay but what’s even more badass about Teen Vogue is that the editor in chief is a black woman. Her name is Elaine Welteroth and she is the second black woman to hold this title within the company and is also the youngest. So expect some more ugly truths to be told with Teen Vogue because they are not fucking around. There will be no sugar coating with them, there will be no “giving trump a second chance”, the editor-in-chief is a black woman and she will make sure this particular media outlet spits the truth.
(Lily’s also an editor at Teen Vogue.)
It’s so surreal that a fucking teen fashion magazine has become a bastion of honest journalism while most more “respectable” outlets are too obsessed with “hearing both sides” when one of the sides is spewing a load of bullshit.
Historically British Vogue during the 1920s - which was aimed at youth readers educated readers on the fashion of the mind, including psychology, political topics, as well as actual fashion. It also talked positively about same sex relationships - there is an article by Christopher Reed that talks about it.
I increasingly want to get a subscription to Teen Vogue
I went looking for my pocket knife earlier today. I couldn’t find it, which I guess is a good thing. I wanted to see if hurting myself still made me feel worse after doing it. I wanted to see if I could actually dig in this time.
My fiancee and her best friend had their noses in their phones. I’m glad they didn’t notice nor ask. I don’t know what I would have said. I even avoided answering questions about how I was and felt. I didn’t want to ruin her BFF's birthday.
I think what tips me over the edge the most is that my friend really wanted me to do something and I had put in a lot of effort and struggled with trying to do it… Only for them to go stop me part way through, bring my attention to a person that I didn’t like, and then go “My bad.” They didn’t even bother to think of a solution. They even said that they were too lazy to look up a way to solve it.
Like, I made/encouraged you to go through all this effort and then I’m going to make sure you know that there’s a person in the other room (someone who wronged you and owes you over 1000$) and that I rfefuse to take sides even though I know that they were a shitty parasitic toxic person to you. I’m going to let you know that this person is in a position of power in an area I urged you to enter and I’m going to tell you that the situation has been reduced to “Oh, my bad. I’m too lazy to figure out how to bypass this fact or how to maybe make the situation so that you both are ok. I’m just going to expect you both to be chill with each other’s presence and to make effort in avoiding one another. Oh, you want to block them so that you don’t have to worry or so you don’t accidentally run into them? I guess you’re SOL.”
I’ve been trying really hard - these past few weeks - to reconnect with this person too. Turns out the past few months I’ve been MIA, they’ve been getting buddy-buddy with someone I hate. And if we are being honest, it’s not my place to say who can be friends with who, but I guess when it comes down to it… ALL the effort I make so that you and the people you dislike steer clear from one another? All the effort I make to rectify the solution if and whenever I accidentally slip up? I guess I don’t deserve the reciprocated effort or concern.
So, I said bye and left the area. If my fiancee can turn the cheek and be an adult to an abusive ex, I can do the same to any other individual in any other situation.
tumblr now is a very weird place for kids to grow up with
like ngl….. I had a tumblr from the time I was 12 onwards and like back in 2012 it wasn’t that bad just kind of cringy and fandomey but now tumblr has become a lot more political and it’s full of very polarizing opinions and 12-14 year olds are plunging headfirst into that
it’s scary because these kid’s critical thinking skills and personalities arent fully developed yet, and they’re just beginning puberty which is a trying and confusing emotional stage of life… and they’re practically being FORCED into “choosing a side” in a very aggressive environment where they’re criticized for having the Wrong opinions and aren’t given a chance to learn and think for themselves
and I think we all know someone our age who’s so obviously a product of Tumblr Foolishness and it’s scary to think people will be going out into the world thinking like this website does. yikes
I’ve been MIA for quite some time. I’m not dead, for now, so I should probably try to do a mini-update.
I’m getting married in May.
I switched doctors/therapists.
I’m off my meds, which isn’t a good thing. I was told that they would take a week to refill, not a month, so I still have two weeks to go until I can get back on them. In other words, I’ve been off meds for three weeks already, and it’s been really hard.
I’m struggling with new(ish) mental health symptoms.
I’m struggling with new health issues.
My uncle passed away this past week.
My laptop was stolen out of my house. (I have a new one now, but that was several months without editing software. So, I’m really behind on that.)
I am having a few financial issues. I want to start doing photography or sewing commissions, but I neither know how to start nor is my mental condition the best at doing that sort of thing.
It sounds like a huge list. There’s more that I’m forgetting. I’m okay. I’m having a hard time, but I will be okay. I just feel a little trapped and etc. I will try to get on Tumblr more. I should use this to post my photography and stuff.
my cat has been fucking playing me for weeks, playing me like a fucking harp. I feed my cat twice a day with prescribed diet food because she’s really fat and doesn’t know when she’s full so she never stops eating. usually when I come home from class she is all over me like the whore of babylon all over me putting on a pity party and trying to get me to sin and give her more food but no matter what I only feed her the amount of food for her prescribed diet. but after awhile i started noticing that she wasn’t loosing weight at all and was actually just getting fatter. so I called the vet pissed and i’m just like the fuck she’s still getting fat. so I switched her to another diet food and that still didn’t work and I was so confused and frustrated like what is wrong with this cat? so a couple weeks go by and I start noticing that I go through bags of food really fast like a week fast and I remembered how I thought that was so weird like I God honest could not figure out why the food disappeared so fast (my former naive and innocent mind) well y'all ready here’s the fucking climax - the other day my class was canceled and I come downstairs at like noonish and do you know what I see when I get down? I see my fucking cat sitting in the food bin. with my own two eyes I see her sitting in the fucking food bin. my spoiled ass cat has been eating like a fucking queen and living it the fuck up while I’m in class and then pretends like she’s hungry when I get home. and you know what’s the real kicker? when she leaves the lid gets knocked shut which is why i never caught onto her scam. she’s fucking been working the system and playing the food game right under my fucking nose like i want to scream and now I have to call the vet and the morning and explain to him how I, a well educated adult in college, got one-upped in intelligence by my fucking cat
Um… how the fuck is there a lure on an unreachable pokestop? Like, I’m watching this thing, and there are no boats near it. Why is there a stop even out there?
I mean, I have a kayak at home. I could go get it and paddle out there just to see what the deal is. Is it worth it?
I AM FUCKING DOING THIS.
I am literally sitting here in a kayak catching pokemon, and I still can’t figure out how someone got a lure on this pokestop. It’s just me out here, no other boats, like what the hell. People on the shore are staring at me. I can feel them judging me for actually paddling out to this pokestop. GOTTA CATCH EM ALL.
When I got back to the shore, a guy asked me if he could borrow my kayak to get the pokestop, and now I’m charging people $10 a pop to use it.
