And of course, another stop on the journey has appeared!

Maybe this is a sisterly universe sometimes.

Is a conscience a good thing to have?

Back when the pandemic was dominating our lives I remember finding a channel about a girl who appreciated nature and I really enjoyed it when I first found it. I was completely content to just enjoy content.

But then one day, this little weird thought came into my head. I mentioned it to another person and I said of course it helps that she's a young, blond, thin, attractive person and that's valued in women according to this society standards. And I suppose that's helped the channel get popular.

Well, someone said to me, that sounds like it has a lot to do with the channel getting popular. And I didn't really want to think about that. But now it's too late.

Every single freaking time I see something by this person, the knowledge of that seems to come up again. It's like it just won't go away, and it just completely smashes me in the face. It rattles me. I don't want a calm voice to soothe it away.

I don't think she's as blond anymore, for some reason.

I'm no longer reading about people dying their hair to try to look more Aryan and finding out that actually people who looked blonder were, in fact, more likely to survive.

The ICE raids and kidnappings and torments of children who are immigrants and the demarcations between them and the more fortunate ones is constantly altering my perceptions of our society and who and what people are trained to value.
