I keep seeing people talk about the "oncoming cult boom" like we haven't been here for like three years.

[normal-horoscopes]

Here's a fun game:

Go onto incognito mode and start a fresh account ok the social media website of your choice. When it asks you about your interests, pick "health and wellness" and/or the religion of your choice and fill the rest in with whatever you like. See how long it takes the algorithm to give you straight up cult recruitment videos.

When I tried this on TikTok I got some in under 30 seconds.

this is important information but i also feel like a lot of people aren’t really able to identify cult-produced media on their own. here is a (non comprehensive) list of red flags for this:

presenting an image of a wholesome, good, unified in-group while simultaneously presenting the out-group as shameful, dirty, or evil

presenting the narrative “i would be dead if i didn’t join X”

bragging about adhering to high-control rules, such as restriction of sleeping, eating, or ability to leave

heavy emphasis placed on “retreats,” aka trauma bonding or brainwashing members en masse in a secluded area

spiritual leader (typically a living person, or often in the case of older cults, a board of directors) presented as an infalliable extension of god

“comfort zones” and similar concepts presented as an inherently bad thing that you need to overcome

constant recruitment efforts

public faces of the organization are typically extremely extroverted and physically abled, and there’s a spoken or unspoken shame placed on the group members who don’t resemble this

there is an ex-member community that insists the group should be acknowledged as a cult (search for “ex-[group name]” or “[group name] abuse” to find relevant online pages)

Queer is a good term

You dont owe anyone specificity

You dont owe anyone any information about yourself

Your gender is allowed to be queer, your sexuality is allowed to be queer

Youre allowed to not identify with queer, however you have to respect your queer siblings when they use the term for themselves

Radfems will try to pry specifics of your label out of your hands to know whether youre valid or not in their eyes, but you are valid regardless of your specific label, or if queer is your only label

Queer is an identity

Queer is a community

Queer is a history

We're here, we're queer, and we're done hiding in fear

This post is accepting or trans people of all gender, and all sexualities, youre loved and welcomed here

september is coming up so here’s your yearly reminder to leave billie joe armstrong the fuck alone

[bentheechidna]

Well of course. We don’t wake him up until October 1st.

[geekandmisandry]

His dad is dead, just don’t.

[korrasera]

In case anyone reading my blog is unaware, this is a reference to the Green Day song titled “Wake Me Up When September Ends” a song that Billie Joe Armstrong wrote following the death of his father in September of 1982 when Billie Joe was ten years old. The title of the song references his desire to sleep through September in an effort to get some emotional distance from the death of his father.

He’s since been open about the emotional difficulty of having written the song since many people now message him on October 1st to ‘wake him up’ despite the song being a memorial to his departed father.

It’s generally seen as respectful to not try to wake him up. Let him sleep and let him remember his father in peace.

reblogging again because the end of September is coming up. leave him alone.

[boosyboo9206]

Reblogging as a reminder to leave Billie Joe Armstrong the fuck alone on October 1st and any day after it if your message is going to contain anything to do with “waking” him up because September will be over.
