shoulders: okay maybe here’s what i can think of: feminine boredom is to the detriment of everything that is not the one true love, i.e., being-desired and a perfect fairytale are the sole antidotes to the condition of being a bored woman. emphasizing and prioritizing the boredom is against its panacea,… I’m into this. I’m also not sure if the conversations around feminine/feminist boredom are necessarily advocating boredom as a tactic? maybe some are, but some are also just about the condition of feminine boredom. I think that public expressions of boredom are compelling because they’re socially inappropriate, esp. for woman-identified people (ie they’re the opposite of expected social care, performing interest etc). it’s rude to appear bored in lots of circumstances, so revealing your boredom is one way of resisting it.  idk, it’s late where I am, so I’ll maybe say more tomorrow, but I’m definitely not trying to say that boredom and inactivity are my favorite feminist goals, more interested in looking at how we live out unnecessary boredom in terrible ways and what that does to us and why we practice it.
