leahbobetThis is a thought only partially brought on by this video, which is beautiful and strange and still sitting on the edge of a really toxic meme that has been bugging and bugging me more lately. I don't say this to slam said video. I say this because it made me think of the rest and I'm going to lift its symbolic architecture in a flagrant and shocking way to get my point across without a big, ranty, oversharing kind of explanation that you don't actually care about.
I wish there wasn't still this...expected dichotomy between dresses and horses.
I want both the dress and the horse.
I like them both. Simultaneously, even! And more seriously? One of those things alone won't be enough to close the little cartoon hole in me. It isn't enough. It's a choice between kinds of incompleteness, and that's a stupid kind of choice to give someone, and I don't personally want to make it because there's no reason to accept half-rations just because that's what's on offer.
So. There a theoretical home for that line of thought?
