April 2019 thoughts

I have decided to wear trendy clothes, listen to pop music, stop doing art, and stop talking about that horrible Nazi band Rammstein.
April Fool's!

I don't believe in shaming girls for how they dress, but some girls are acting like not being allowed to show their midriff at school is the end of the world, and I think they should just be glad they don't go to BYU or, worse, live in Saudi Arabia. Count your blessings, you could have been raised by extremely religious people.

Rammstein: *breathes*
Haters: "Hitler also breathed! Rammstein is a Nazi band!"

Romantic/erotic novels are ridiculous. The guy on the cover always has his chest exposed, the writing is poor, and their idea of an "edgy" love story almost always involves domestic violence. Seriously, can't they come up with something more original? Or at least more wholesome? Wholesome love stories are nice.

Me, yesterday: "Ugh, I've had entirely too many cheeseburgers this past week and I don't need to have another one for quite a while."
Me, today: *Is considering getting a cheeseburger at [local restaurant]*

Yes, I am one of those girls whose only real reason for watching the Marvel movies is Loki. And it took me longer than it should have for me to accept that.
It's not because I'm shallow or boy crazy. I just really like Loki. And that's okay.

Till Lindemann said it's better to be pessimistic because then you'll be pleasantly surprised when good things happen, and I think he might be right.

I went to that vegan restaurant and asked them to make me a cheeseburger, and they refused. Those anti-choice extremists and their fake restaurants. #exposefakerestaurants

There needs to be a nonprofit organization that bakes cakes for people who leave the Ku Klux Klan and go on to fight racism. It should be called Cake! Cake! Cake!

Daylight savings time is really weird when you think about it. For example, right now it's midnight because the government says so, not because it actually is midnight. That sounds like something out of a dystopian novel.

Rammstein needs to do a cover of "Boobs in California" (from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), just saying.

***
(In reference to an LDS Conference Talk) Jesus says, "Come follow me." "But sir, the train track!"

I'm going to write a bunch of short horror stories, but it's all stolen from Thomas the Tank Engine episodes, except it's with people instead of trains.

People are boycotting Brunei for criminalizing homosexuality.
But if they want to be consistent, why not boycott Saudi Arabia? Or any Middle Eastern country, really? Their laws are incredibly anti-gay AND anti-woman.

An emo poem (in German):

Ich bin so allein.
Ich liebe Rammstein.
Menschen denken,
dass ich gruselig bin.
Kein Schwein versteht mich.
Ich hasse dich.

(Translation: I am so alone. I love Rammstein. People think that I'm scary. No one understands me. I hate you.)

Just saw a video of what Germans think of Rammstein and it wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. I was kinda hoping they'd interview someone who really hates the band.

I hate when I'm trying to listen to Rammstein but the bus driver is playing Taylor Swift.

*later*

I've been listening to good music for most of the day, and I still have that dumb Taylor Swift song on my mind.

Today is Marijuana Day. It is also Hitler's birthday. I can't think of anything clever to post, though.

I think a lot of feminist criticisms of Disney movies are incredibly anti-feminist. A lot of them are centered around the fact that female characters don't always save themselves, which is basically victim-blaming. Characters that fight are valued over characters that don't, implying that the only way to be strong is to show traditionally "masculine" traits, including traits that would be considered toxic masculinity if a guy had them. Elsa is considered "weak" because she's emotionally vulnerable, which is ableist, especially when you consider that she shows traits of various mental illnesses. Female characters that don't have love interests are valued over those who do, which implies that if you're in a relationship, you can't be strong.
Women shouldn't have to conform to your standards to be valued. Just let them be individuals.

Pros to Japanese street fashion: it looks awesome.
Cons to Japanese street fashion: it's expensive and not made for people who are overweight. Also, it's super impractical and I don't have the time or energy to put it on in the morning.

When proponents of legal abortion say that post-abortion regret, coerced abortion, and any negative experience with abortion is "anti-choice propoganda," then they're silencing people who genuinely want to tell their stories (even though many of those people may be pro-choice) and that's wrong.

***
That awkward moment when both the left and the right think the Equal Rights Amendment is about abortion, and Alice Paul was pro-life.

Make Hot Topic great again!
