hot girls don't want flowers. hot girls want armand & daniel to devour each other (affectionately)

Thinking about the death of subcultures. Like I haven’t seen any goth kids or punks or any obvious subcultural movements in years. And obviously part of that is just cultural change, but when I think of modern subcultures the only thing I can think of are those tiktok alternative people, like egirls, but there isn’t that sense of a real “scene” going on with their own lifestyles and music and events, like lived experience that’s shared. I feel like what we might call modern subcultures are all reduced to mere aesthetics and they’re all mostly online, and they all look way too pretty – their make up is always perfect and their clothes are perfectly aesthetic and there’s none of that deliberate freakishness going on; literally grunginess itself has been commodified. There’s none of the real expression of confusion and anger that came with growing up in a world that you felt on some level was fucked up but you couldn’t express why, so you expressed it by dressing like a freak, by looking kinda deliberately out of place. I want that spirit back because this is what subcultures were about. Let’s bring back real subculture, not the alienated commodified version that’s based on aesthetics and has been reduced to social media, but the kind where you actually go out looking completely unhinged on purpose to disrupt. The kind where you meet other people and feel a sense of empowerment in your willing difference from the mainstream, and by that I mean the kind that is explicitly anticapitalist.

But why why why did people stop writing love letters

one of the first prison literature books I read was by a Syrian dissident who witnessed the Hama massacre and was arrested. Syrian prisons were my gateway to understanding the machine of Arab oppression. Its liberation now can't be but a great historical moment

Ne, nemoj mi prići! Hoću izdaleka

da volim i želim oka tvoja dva.

Jer sreća je lepa samo dok se čeka,

dok od sebe samo nagoveštaj da.

Ne, nemoj mi prići! Ima više draži

ova slatka strepnja, čekanje i stra'.

Sve je mnogo lepše donde dok se traži,

o čemu se samo tek po slutnji zna.

Ne, nemoj mi prići! Našto to, i čemu?

Izdaleka samo sve k'o zvezda sja;

izdaleka samo divimo se svemu.

Ne, nek' mi ne priđu oka tvoja dva.

the look of love, the rush of blood

If anybody thinks that I have forgiven the people who stole years of my life, I would just like to clarify that I have not

we need to be romanticizing and perhaps even sexualizing cutting off toxic (real term: abusive) people in our lives. we need to turn the ability to set boundaries and tell people to fuck off into a full blown kink. people should feel an exhilarating and sexual high from using the block button. trust me, when you adopt this mentality, it’s so much easier and more rewarding to do now. i feel powerful. you can too
