all i’m saying is if an all-girls school crashed on the island in lord of the flies then they would’ve been off the island in a week

lord of the flies doesnt show the base human condition, it shows the base privileged straight white male condition, incredibly when i point this out people get kind of annoyed

Might I direct you to Beauty Queens by Libba Bray, a YA novel in which a plane full of teen beauty pageant contestants crashes on a deserted island.  Instead of descending into violent savagery, the girls are able to work together and become more truly themselves than they could in the patriarchal world outside.  They repurpose the tools of beauty into tools of survival (and some of them work to keep up their appearances too, because that’s what makes them feel happy, while others decide they’re done with all the pressure to be a certain sort of beautiful.)  They fight against evil corporations.  Beauty Queens is enthusiastically feminist.  (Never fear, the feminism is intersectional, exploring issues of race and sexuality as well as gender.)  Also, this book is HILARIOUS, not to mention surprisingly exciting!

Oh, look at this thing I’m going to add to my reading list.

srsly read Beauty Queens, one of the girls is trans!!!

fun fact: if you text a landline, it’ll call the landline in a robot voice and read the text

less fun: our intern was locked out this morning and didn’t realize the number she had for the other assistant was a landline so she texted it because she was locked out so at 9:30 this morning our phone rang with a robot voice loudly saying PLEASE LET ME IN before hanging up

working in retail is so fucking crazy. it’s like an alternate universe. one time, I was scanning some deli cheese and the customer said, “that’s on sale for however much” and I said, “oh yeah that’s a good deal deli stuff can be expensive” then he says, “it’s for my friend. do you want to meet me friend?” and at this point I’m fuckign terrified and he OPENS his JACKET and sitting in the inside pocket is a TINY DOG

okay maybe this is just bc i’ve never gotten to see a season finale live before but i had so much fun for every second of that? i mean for the first time this revival no one knew what was going to happen next, at least not exactly, and i got to scream at my tv and cheer and cry and i honest to god don’t see how anyone could be anything but kinda euphoric about the whole thing like…flawed or fucking not there’s time for complaining about details later but right now – right now that was the x-files and it was an absolute blast
