Stop

Stop comparing yourself to him. He's a different species. Effortlessly superior. Stop projecting yourself onto him. Just accept that he's different, and that you're just inferior. He's a friend. Stop seeing him as the competition. The only competition should be yourself. I'm a horrible friend who thinks that he doesn't deserve to have life so easy. But it can't be as easy as it seems. Stop being salty. Focus on yourself. Focus on becoming a better version of you, and stop acting so high and mighty. It's not his fault that he's just naturally superior. Accept that there are just people who can never be on your level no matter what, and that you should instead rise to their level. Calm down. He's not your enemy.

Shoot for the moon

Now available as a print on the store! Yes, stars are further away from Earth than the moon! Don’t let poetic license distract you from what is an actually very useful way of thinking. I’m not where I want to be yet, not by a long shot; but I’ve reached this far trying to get there. (Originally published on March 24, 2017)

Lost in daydreams of a reciprocal love I’d be okay with it if it were okay with you Isn’t that a flimsy sort of reason Must confess, heart beats for no reason Surely someday this might happen With you I hope it’d be inevitable Not making any overt moves I trust in the fate that continuously brings us together

These musings are enough for now Much is at risk if these are false I like you now perhaps For it is in the future it will be more So now I settle for a perhaps Not risking a thing for this mayhaps

anyway NO ONE should be a billionaire…..NO ONE should be allowed to hoard THAT much money when whole countries starve to death. If you think I’m bitter that’s fine but it’s the truth, I don’t make the rules

Interviewer: where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Me: I used escapist fantasies as a coping mechanism to get through years of trauma and therefore never learned how to plan for a real life future

Researchers have used Easter Island Moai replicas to show how they might have been “walked” to where they are displayed.

Finally. People need to realize aliens aren’t the answer for everything (when they use it to erase poc civilizations and how smart they were)

What’s really wild is that the native people literally told the Europeans “they walked” when asked how the statues were moved. The Europeans were like “lol these backwards heathens and their fairy tales guess it’s gonna always be a mystery!”

Maori told Europeans that kiore were native rats and no one believed them until DNA tests proved it

And the Iroquois told Europeans that squirels showed them how to tap maple syrup and no one believed them until they caught it on video

Oral history from various First Nations tribes in the Pacific Northwest contained stories about a massive earthquake/tsunami hitting the coast, but no one listened to them until scientists discovered physical evidence of quakes from the Cascadia fault line.

Roopkund Lake AKA “Skeleton Lake” in the Himalayas in India is eerie because it was discovered with hundreds of skeletal remains and for the life of them researchers couldn’t figure out what it was that killed them. For decades the “mystery” went unsolved.

Until they finally payed closer attention to local songs and legend that all essentially said “Yah the Goddess Nanda Devi got mad and sent huge heave stones down to kill them”. That was consistent with huge contusions found all on their neck and shoulders and the weather patterns of the area, which are prone to huge & inevitably deadly goddamn hailstones. https://www.facebook.com/atlasobscura/videos/10154065247212728/

Literally these legends were past down for over a thousand years and it still took researched 50 to “figure out” the “mystery”. 🙄

Adding to this, the Inuit communities in Nunavut KNEW where both the wrecks of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were literally the entire time but Europeans/white people didn’t even bother consulting them about either ship until like…last year.

“Inuit traditional knowledge was critical to the discovery of both ships, she pointed out, offering the Canadian government a powerful demonstration of what can be achieved when Inuit voices are included in the process.

In contrast, the tragic fate of the 129 men on the Franklin expedition hints at the high cost of marginalising those who best know the area and its history.

“If Inuit had been consulted 200 years ago and asked for their traditional knowledge – this is our backyard – those two wrecks would have been found, lives would have been saved. I’m confident of that,” she said. “But they believed their civilization was superior and that was their undoing.”

“Oh yeah, I heard a lot of stories about Terror, the ships, but I guess Parks Canada don’t listen to people,” Kogvik said. “They just ignore Inuit stories about the Terror ship.”

Schimnowski said the crew had also heard stories about people on the land seeing the silhouette of a masted ship at sunset.

“The community knew about this for many, many years. It’s hard for people to stop and actually listen … especially people from the South.”

crazythingsfromhistory

Indigenous Australians have had stories about giant kangaroos and wombats for thousands of years, and European settlers just kinda assumed they were myths. Cut to more recently when evidence of megafauna was discovered, giant versions of Australian animals that died out 41 000 years ago.

Similarly, scientists have been stumped about how native Palm trees got to a valley in the middle of Australia, and it wasn’t until a few years ago that someone did DNA testing and concluded that seeds had been carried there from the north around 30 000 years ago… aaand someone pointed out that Indigenous people have had stories about gods from the north carrying the seeds to a valley in the central desert.

fluffmugger

oh man let me tell you about Indigenous Australian myths - the framework they use (with multi-generational checking that’s unique on the planet, meaning there’s no drifting or mutation of the story, seriously they are hardcore about maintaining integrity) means that we literally have multiple first-hand accounts of life and the ecosystem before the end of the last ice age

it’s literally the oldest accurate oral history of the world.

Now consider this: most people consider the start of recorded history to be with the Sumerians and the Early Dynastic period of the Egyptians. So around 3500 BCE, or five and a half thousand years ago These highly accurate Aboriginal oral histories originate from twenty thousand years ago at least

Ain’t it amazing what white people consider history and what they don’t?

I always said disservice is done to oral traditions and myth when you take them literally. Ancient people were not stupid.

Jusko bat ba ako kinikilig??? Kasi ba parang sinisigurado lang niya na single pa ako(at may chance pa siya)??? Ang malisyosa kong tao??? Ang sobrang walang lovelife in the past years kaya ganito kaliit na bagay napapakilig ako. Ugh, may chance, pero nakakatakot sumugal. Be still heart, wala lang yan sa kaniya. Chikka lang yan.
