The Great Gatsby enters the public domain in 2021. If at least one of us doesn’t have an unauthorised sequel ready to publish on January 1st at 12:01 sharp, I will be very disappointed.

terrible years really make you understand the point of a new year. i know nothing much will have changed between dec 31 and jan 1, but we need to be able to partition off everything that’s happened to us, we need a moment to say, ‘that’s done, we’re done with it, it’s over’ and have a little hope that the future will be different. we need to be able to stop and take a breath and sing, in the middle of winter, and prepare ourselves for spring.

You don’t have to earn food. You don’t have to workout today to eat, you don’t have to get “enough” work completed, you don’t have to reach perfection. You always deserve nourishment.

ARGENTINA JUST MADE HISTORY.

The first protest for legal abortion in democracy in Argentina was on March 7, 1984. 36 years later, December 30, 2020 at 04:13 am, abortion is now officially legal, safe and free for all women. Women have fought for so long to obtain rights of this kind. This is a HUGE step for us, what an amazing day. EL ABORTO ES LEGAL 💚

No Nuance November: The reason we're seeing trans kids with less dysphoria isn't that they're transtrenders; it's that as trans acceptance progresses and trans people are better represented, kids are exposed to tons of different ways to be men and women and both and neither. Like, you're less likely to think you need to have a penis to be a "real man" if you've seen tons of real men who don't living happy, authentic lives. If you aren't forced to compare yourself exclusively to cis people, you're less likely to focus exclusively on things that differentiate you from cis people and more likely to focus on what makes you feel comfortable and seen and understood.

“No use crying over spilled milk” ok but how stressed out am I over the spilled milk? Is my anger frustration or sadness about the spilled milk severe enough to ruin my day or cause a meltdown? Is the emotional impact of the milk spillage significant enough that crying about it would help me process those emotions? Was I already under a high degree of stress and the milk is just the tipping point & the latest in a series of personal disappoints? U don’t know me

“people in the past had such high hopes for us, they thought we were gonna vacation on the moon” fuck that!! they thought automation was gonna automate so much work that we’d all work 20 hour weeks like our ancestors used to! they knew we’d all be 5x more productive, which they naturally thought meant we’d be working less not more!  they thought the time & profits created by mechanical production would be distributed among the workers and we’d all share in the profits!!! they predicted our jobs would be replace by machines and they were right, they just assumed humanity as a whole would benefit instead of just a select few!!! and it shoulda!!!!
