Alright, so I’m fucking SICK AND TIRED of all of these oppressive, archaic bills being presented in our great country that will essentially revoke the human rights of our wives, girlfriends, sisters, daughters, nieces, moms, friends, just women in general.

the self-conscious/intentional construction of identity is also why i posted pictures of myself from years ago next to pictures of myself from now that time. obviously, i’ve always been performing an identity, but i do so much more intentionally (and more successfully, i think) now.
