posting at 4 min left, what a trip

haha yikes
how are y'all feeling?
I've never watched it but i have an idea that you all have probably cried

Good morning or whatever, how was it?

Okay, I watched the clip of the last two minutes, and… :(

I woke up for the last hour.
It was good. It was really good. I teared up a bit after but I think I got all my tears out the week before.
Momento mori. Unus Annus.

mmm just had my dad try and tell me what to wear
I was wearing a fingerlength dress with shorts underneath it and apparently that's innopropriate
he also called me crazy for telling him he can't try and controll my body

Disgusting

Me: I will not have a middle aged white man tell me what I can and can not wear
My dad: Yeah but I'm your father

like bitch, you can't say that and think it puts you apart from the rest

^^^ Yeah, absolutely not.
As long as you don't have your entire ass out, I don't see the problem lol

I didn't!!!
I had fucking shorts on and the dress covered the shorts
but he was like "you don't look like you have any clothes on, people will look at you"

Yeah, exactly.
Also who's going to look at you? I don't think a middle aged man should be looking at his kid in a potentially sexual light. And you, putting those clothes on, understand that you could get unwanted attention. That's not for him to decide.
But newsflash: I've received unwanted attention in an ugly T-shirt and gym shorts. Pervy guys don't discriminate.

Parents need to stop sexualizing their children in general

Parents need to stop sexualizing their children in general

yeah. i feel like they do it under the label of 'protecting' them, which is reasonable from that perspective, but it just feeds into a system where women/fem-presenting people in particular are expected to monitor themselves + filter their expression rather than holding creepy bastards accountable for being creepy bastards

I'd like to be rude to my sexuality for going "aromantic" and then thinks about holding hands with someone strong and goes "hehe, stronk."

hahaha i can relate to that velocipede
i love whenever i go out my clothing needs to be "pretty enough" because i need to "look cute" so i can get a guy
because i must obviously be straight and only straight because, fuck lgbtq+ right?

mmmm just let me go out in casual clothes please

welp guess who probably won't be getting any money for christmas

I just hate being told my outfit is inappropriate when the shirt I'm wearing is just a little shorter than the person would like. Especially when it's design of the shirt. Just lemme live ffs.

WHY DO I HAVE ONE DIRECTION STUCK IN MY HEAD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I hate it when I can't wear my favorite band t-shirts because they're "inappropriate". I have an AC/DC Highway to Hell t-shirt and my religious ass school told me to cover it up. ALSO RIPPED JEANS!!!! Who cares if the rip shows my thigh it's not like some dude is gonna go "ooh damn that thigh is mighty nice I wanna a;kdjf;aksljdf;laksjf;laskj" ITS NOT DISTRACTING I HATE DRESS CODES

^^^^

Also who else's school has a thing against shoulders?? Lmao girls' shoulders are super sexy amirite?

Yeah, I don't get it. Also dress codes so disproportionately target afab people.
I got yelled at by my principal for having the top button on my shirt undone. I don't even have any cleavage, nothing to see there.
And people wore literal crop tops to school that were explicitly against code.

YES! Girls could not wear a tank top and shorts here even if it's 105 degrees (that's an average summer temp for us) because its "distracting". BUT GUYS??? they wear that shit every day!!

We had uniforms, but like… they always called the wrong people out for the dumbest shit.

In my school, boys aren't allowed to show shoulders either.

Man the other day a guy in my grade had on a tank crop top and nobody said anything

but then my afab friend wore one of those flowy crop tops that's only really cropped if you raise your arms and they had to change

My school lets boys wear tank tops and shorts (like, short shorts) but I've seen girls get dress coded for having ripped jeans on/right above their knees. I think when that happens you either have to go home and change or shove paper down your pants to cover up your skin.
So they never want any skin showing, but at the same time if you're wearing too much clothing you'll get in trouble. I like to cover head to toe and don't mind a few jackets on, but I've been told to take off a layer because I might be hiding something. Headcoverings and hats used to not be allowed, but now only hoods are bad. The dress code has loosened up this past year, especially since the person who enforced it has a different job now.
It's still dumb tho. And unfair.

For a private school, my school actually is somewhat loose on the dress code. They just don't want stuff ostentatious (such as extremely short shorts or other things revealing the lower region, excessive show of abdomen –they consider anything above 2 inches above the belly button to be excessive–, and obviously nudity). They don't want stuff promoting gang activity, alcohol, illegal substances, violence, lewd graphics, potentially triggering content, and offensive language like curses and slurs. They're fine with head-wraps, though not so much with hoods or hats unless on a special occasion.

Otherwise, they don't really have much of a problem.

Ok so idk if this is correct but I remember someone telling me that they didn't want girls wearing shirts that show their shoulders because if it shows their shoulders then it's probably a tank top or some shit and apparently tank tops show to much cleavage or something like that???

(it might have been a dream though idk)

*blinks*

Asjdkks uhhh anyone ever seen a high cut tank top???
