I’m sorry, but, “You can’t go through life trying to avoid a broken heart. If you do, it’ll break from loneliness anyway,” is entirely too profound a statement to be made by Dr Julian Bashir while talking to Odo in the middle of his James Bond LARP.

like riot grrl as a scene wasn’t like woopsie daisy can’t believe no WOC wanted to sign up and join us there was legitimate hostility towards WOC during that movement that’s been documented as well as the inability for many riot grrls to understand intersections of oppression and their own role in upholding it
