Wanda told the person to consider whether the partner wasn’t the problem, but rather that they were.
THAT'S A HORRIBLE ADVICE
“Bumble,”
ok that one is annoying because there are so many cool people there but wdym we have to text eachother within twenty four hours or the match is dead forever?? what if we both have social anxiety it takes more than twenty four hours to psych yourself up to talk to someone
I don’t get how you can look at a picture of someone, read a few facts about them, and decide if you’re attracted to them.
it's not really about deciding if you're attracted to them based on that, more like deciding if you think you'd click. sometimes you also just stay friends after meeting on an app
“Not Hinge or Tinder? You’re really desperate.”
girl tinder is the worst what are you on about
it took us so long to curate our perfectly chaotic friendship dynamic. The two of them together would ruin it.

their feud is actually so entertaining, and I feel like I was following those accounts I would think they're irl besties who are doing this on purpose for the funsis
The girls are, indeed, fighting.
When I look at myself in a mirror, I think, That’s a woman. I’m wide at the hips, my bra size is in the double Ds, and my face is too soft to be seen as anything but female. I like my body the way it looks. I like the way I dress. It’s me. But when I consider the role I want to play in society, I think, That’s not exactly a woman.
WHAT THE FUCK THAT'S LITERALLY ME
that's because 90% of people's problems would actually be solved with communication lmaoo so she's not wrong

“I don’t get crushes, so.” Don’t get crushes? Every time someone tells me they experience some lack of attraction, I always think, hang on, this person could be like me. Ninety-five percent of the time, they aren’t; they’re just exaggerating their experience. But there could be a sliver of a chance. “You know, I don’t either,” I say. “I’m aroace. Not sure if you’re also…” A smile creeps onto Jo’s face. “Oh. I am too.” Oh my god. Jo’s aroace.
STOP THIS IS SO CUTE. I GET THAT

The Meaning of Life and the Inevitability that You’ll Die Alone
I know myself. Damn. I wish I knew myself.
What do they think the B in LGBTQ stands for?” She rolls her eyes. “I don’t know, bullshit, I guess.”
“Do you think it’s weird as an aroace person to like romcoms?”
no because I'm aroace and romcom is my favourite genre
By the time Sophie gets a text saying our table is ready, I’ve fully ranted to her about the terrible ace representation in a show that she hasn’t even seen. She’s listened intently the entire time. She seems personally offended by some of the things I’m describing. Yeah, I think Sophie does actually want to be my friend.

“Apparently, you told Sophie I’m good in bed,” Izzy says, sounding a little whiny. “So now I can never show my face in public again.” “Oh, please,” Priya says. “Your face has been in worse places than in public.” I snort, and Izzy groans and says, “Priya, no, that’s the whole point!”
“Gender is … the baby food brand that does, like, mashed vegetables.” “No, that’s Gerber,” Lianne says from her spot on the top bunk. “Gender is those little fruit snacks with the juice inside.” “No, those are Gushers,” I say. “Gender is the description of someone who’s really kind and loving.” “No, that’s gentle,” Lianne says. “Gender is a minor car accident.” “No, that’s a fender bender. Gender is the thing where rich people move into poorer areas and slowly displace all the existing residents.” “No, that’s gentrification,”
Could you do All Too Well by Taylor Swift? The ten minute version if time allows??

Loveless was a turning point for the aroace community
IT WAS I only identified as asexual when I read it and by the time I finished it I started researching how to know you're aromantic as well (and stayed in denial for a bit because I just got in my first relationship right before reading this book)

Come to think of it, I don’t know how many people have looked at me and seen something they liked. Or the things that they’ve imagined. Thinking about it makes me feel trapped in my skin. This organ that has so much weight in my beauty, my attractiveness. Protecting me from the world, while also being the thing strangers scrutinize me for. At the end of the day, I’m just a body,
Sometimes I wish I looked more blatantly queer.
“Tech crew is even gayer than acting.”
I did both lmaooo
Names are dropped, Instagrams are unfollowed, and then we move on.

“I don’t know. I think it’s just—for me, having too many labels for myself feels like I’m, I don’t know, closing myself off. Like I’m putting myself in these little boxes that only a few other people can fit in, or that I owe it to people to tell them all the different little ways I feel.”
jo blink twice if you were based on me
