(no subject)
two episodes into BSG season two and i'm already and weeping, nervous wreck.
DISCLAIMER. I AM AWFUL WITH NAMES. SHANNON IS IN FACT SHARON. BUT IT WAS SIMILAR, RIGHT?
and can i just say that billy (i think) and dee (i'm pretty positive) are perfect and adorable and my fondness for everything about this show grows deeper and deeper and fuck you cylon ship invaders and gaius you're a fucking freeeak and i love chief sfm because he's clearly "HOW IS THIS HAPPENING BECAUSE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DIFFERENT" all the time and oh my heart and KARA PAINTS WHAT DOES HER WALL SAY PROBABLY SOMETHING EPIC? yeah?
okay, good.
(it's four AM. this is what i do when i know i don't have work tomorrow. jfc, get a liiiife.)
AND ALSO.
conversations about using the words "slut" and "whore" to describe ANYBODY? do not go well with me when you think it's actually acceptable to do so. NO it is not.
i mean, COMMON SENSE WOULD SUGGEST that i do not even have to explain why this is a valid statement at all times, regardless of so-and-sos behavior or number of sexual partners. it is never okay to make someone feel degraded, worthless or to belittle them at all ever for their choices or any other reason on this planet. don't do it.
the depths of truly insane said conversation went makes me think there is no hope for humanity, feminism, polar bears and/or reason.
people need to stop destroying each other. if we can't even get that accomplished, then what hope does anything else have at all? and i don't mean perfection, and i don't mean not holding each other accountable for our actions either. i mean constructive. i mean we walk out of our houses everyday and face so many things that all conspire to deconstruct our sanity, and if we could just look at each other without using words like "slut" and "whore" or any other terrible thing, it would be better. lay your weapons down. it's easy to hold someone at an arms length away because they're filthy or some equally terrifying thought. but no one is filthy. people are hurting all over the fucking place. people are living their lives the best they can, and making choices for themselves for so many reasons, whatever but you don't know. you have no idea what any single person you pass by or hear about is living. you don't get to call them names because of what you think you see on the surface of things.
THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.
just stop it. thank you. can we attempt something like building each other up? is this too much to hope for? i sometimes consider myself an idealist, and yes, this would be ideal, but i mean. guys. do people really walk around saying they don't want it any other way because it's really in our nature to be like this? i don't know if i can believe that. i know that we, as humans, are capable of being better than this, at least. if only that, it's still something.
