my archeology professor studied textile production during the late iron age in what is today israel and surrounding countries and there’s something oddly inspiring about that. almost all his published research is about a single topic in this very specific time period and area. like, hell yeah! get a kind of niche interest and get yourself a doctorate with it!
he loved to talk about it, too. i wish i had half as much interest in anything as that man did talking about weaving methods in ancient israel during 1200-1000 BCE.
I’m so here for “vain” girls. Girls who dab at their waterline because crying could mess up their make up. Girls who spend a lot of time looking in the mirror. Girls who worry about breaking their nails. Girls who worry if they don’t have exfoliating wash or lotion for a day. Girls who contour and girls who do face masks and girls who worry about missing a spot shaving and girls who get their eyebrows done. You’re capable of caring a lot about your appearance and other things, and caring a lot about your appearance does not make you bad, or shallow, or less deserving of respect.
this post is weird bc im gna go ahead and assume 99% of girls so fixated on their appearence to such an intense degree arent “””vain””” but incredibly self conscious because of the pressure to be beautiful in order to be worthy of respect. like if you have a panic attack over your appearence not being perfect i dont think that necessarily means ur vain but maybe just that women are under immense pressure to look perfect at all times. this just makes me sad like you should be ok in your own skin and being ugly sometimes but like……….. ok. vain i guess.
i mean. the real reason i made this post is to post all these photos of same-sex lion groups. they’re just gay look at them! so loving.
im not going to post a pic of the gay lions fucking but we all know there are many
they’re also just so naturally dramatic and comfortable like this guy? this man could dish on anyone at the watering hole and i’d believe him
meanwhile lionesses are like one vegan bakery short of a lesbian network to rival your average new england small city. look at them co-parenting and generally having a womanist community
they also are just very tender and are clearly liberated and more than happy to live a life without men.
also they’re all so butch i mean look at them. they all look like they know how to put up some drywall you know?? you know?
some of the butchest ones even grow little manes. look at her! queen of gender nonconformity.
