My opinion, & I will die on this hill, is that we shouldn't comment on other people's bodies. The times when I looked "my best" were the times when I was not taking care of myself. The times when I was in shape & taking good care of myself were the times when people were saying I was too fat. 🧵

Ok everyone roasting Elphaba for bringing home a cute boy who's DTF, taking off her coat & then putting on a sweater while cute boy is fully undressing, this is actually something l can see myself doing so shut up.

Ok you know what? I was getting ready to write my own novel about the things that bothered me about 1984 but then the ending happened & it put the things that were bothering me in a different context. I will say that the part that was hardest for me to believe was that Winston & Julia were in love.

I thought they might have changed the original Wicked Act 2 finale music because it wasn't on the soundtrack but I just found it (it's included on the score album not the soundtrack). The Elphaba/Glinda vocals at the very end is one of my favorite parts of the entire musical

You would have to understand the dynamics of my department at work to fully appreciate how shitty this is... & to be clear I don't care about the actual day... but my work anniversary was yesterday & no one has said shit to me about it. It makes me feel very sad & like I don't matter 🧵

I have a busy week so I've had to kind of smash some things together in order to get everything done. Today was re-watching part 1 of Wicked (since I'm seeing the new movie tomorrow after work when my bff gets into town) while making cranberry sauce. So it was me just sobbing over the stove top 🤣

Hey, so,
If we could NOT respond to the GOP healthcare “plan” with laughter at fat, disabled, and fat disabled people, that would be great.
I hate MarkyMarkwayne as much as the next person, but “take a look at your constituents” is punching in the wrong direction.

I'm saying this because just this week, I've seen trailers for forthcoming proshots of Next to Normal (Original West End Cast), Six (Original West End Cast, & Merrily We Roll Along (Original Broadway Revival Cast)
You have to hand it to Hamilton for popularizing modern musical theatre by bringing a proshot version to streaming. Professional theatre is difficult for most people to access. As a kid I was fortunate enough to live by a venue that brought in professional tours & it made it so much more accessible.

I've been thinking a lot about something this week but I haven't decided if I'm going to post about it or not. I don't want to speak about something when it's not my place. I've posted before that certain people need to STFU on certain topics so I don't want to be a hypocrite

I'm reading 1984 & I really thought I had read it before but now I'm not sure. I wonder if I was supposed to read it in high school but my ADHD was like NAH. I just feel like it would have stuck in my head that the first journal entry was 2 days after I was born.

Because experiencing rejection sensitivity can be so painful for ADHD'ers, some of us fear that we could be inflicting that pain on others by rejecting them, being less than enthusiastic, or even having boundaries.
This can encourage us to reject our own needs in favour of not rejecting others

Yesterday I was watching a video from a makeup artist who does makeup for women over 40 & at one point she started talking about how "clean beauty" is bullshit & 😮 Yes. It is. It's Nazi trad wife conservative bullshit (She didn't go that far with it, but I will) & I was like "damn girl I like you"

I really want Will to be ok but I know he's not going to be. He deserves therapy & a supportive (NOT MIKE) boyfriend. He doesn't deserve the "bury your gays' plot he's going to get. I will be SHOCKED if he's not killed off by the end of Volume 1 or, at the very latest, the end of Volume 2

normalize STOP using the word asexual for literally anything but its meaning. no, being asexual doesn't mean someone doesn't have libido or sex.

How is there still a market for 'straight man rudely tells women they are doing something wrong & this is how to fix it in order to be more appealing to men"? Did we time travel back to 2005?

I'm so over family drama. I'm so tired. When you're a "good listener" (as I am apparently) people tend to vent to you. I've had to tell someone in the past week that I'm tired of being the person that everyone dumps their problems on. I'm trying to have better boundaries but they don't feel good.
