i think the problem that a lot of people who refuse to let go of harry potter have is that they think you expect them to have known it was shit from the start because people talk a lot about how it has been criticzed since its release which obviously is a response to people claiming that its now just trendy to hate on things we used to like and that includes harry potter. like no one expects you to have known it was shit when you were 10. those books were one of the first things i actually read and i loved them bc i was a dyslexic child with no friends and they were easy to read and i read some of them over 10 times in one year and i read all the weird nazi wizard bullshit and the antisemitic depictions of goblins and the racist caricatures and i still loved those books because i was Eight Years Of Age. and then later when i found out about jkrs transphobia and i read people talking about her other bigotry i realized in hindsight how bigoted those books were and now i dont like them because im a normal person who changes his opinions based on new information
a lot of young girls need to realize that keeping friendships alive gets so hard after high school/uni and that you have to actively nurture your friendships if you want them to last yes even the friendships of 2 decades….. your 20s are so disorienting and trauamtizing no one can afford to take friendships for granted… everybody worries about not finding a romantic partner lets start worrying about being friendless by the time you hit 30

What are your takes on shipping and the discourses that surround it?
personally i think postal workers should be paid more
do y'all remember when people on tiktok were talking about how it's morally wrong to name yourself "arson" because it's a crime?
anyway if you're trans and you need a new name, may i suggest Murder?
aka possessions which are just possessions, but which have noticeably improved my quality of life: for when people ask you “what do you want for your birthday/Christmas/graduation” and you instantly transform into St Francis and pledge fealty to Lady Poverty because your mind went blank
nice. new. sheets. I cannot emphasize this one enough. if you’re still using the same sheets you had in college, you should probably get new ones. get yourself some 100% bamboo rayon sheets—they’re silky and perfect for summer and great for sensitive skin! or, if you’re cold all the time, flannel sheets!
kitchen knives. or even just one really good kitchen knife.
new curtains—blackout if you are a creature of the night like I am
fleece lined anything, but especially sweatpants and hoodies. wool lined socks are also good. if you don’t have the option of coming home after work and putting on an entire outfit that is loose and fuzzy, you should change that, because you deserve that option.
cookie sheets with a layer of air between the top and the bottom. the bottoms of your cookies will never burn again.
kitchen scale!!! no more leveling off flour with a knife and getting it all over the table!! now all your measuring is just shoveling stuff in and out of bowls like you’re at the beach. baking is both more accurate and also way more fun.
coffee bean grinder. if you want to upgrade your coffee experience, this is a great one-time purchase. just-ground beans have a much better flavor than pre-ground.
CDs!! ask for a gift card and expand your physical music collection! or a collection of the DVDs for your favorite show!
