The Survivor, 1950, by René Magritte

how do i put this. I think it's important to take some responsibility for the state of the world. I think it's also important not to feel guilt over it. That you are obliged to take some responsibility does not imply that you are guilty of something; it's just a matter of being an adult human being in society. The responsibility is to act to change things for the better on the basis of your actual ability & capacity. Guilt for things you did not do does not help you in that.

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

settlers are always so enthusiastic about ''foraging'' and then you'll start talking to them about indigenous horticulture & sustainable harvesting practices and they quickly reveal that they're more interested in the aesthetic of being a Crunchy Woodland Creature than like reducing their reliance on exploitative industrial agriculture or rebuilding their local foodshed

[spiderbitesandvampirevenom]

This is not true and it is in fact neither very simple nor very plain to forage sustainably. This kind of flippant "it's such an easy hobby" attitude when it comes to harvesting is exactly *why* there are so many problems with once-abundant traditional foods being depleted. Every plant is different, has different needs, and can support a different intensity of gathering. Foraging isn't just some fun hobby, and shouldn't be treated like one. It is a method of intentionally working land to gather resources meant to sustain oneself, whether those resources be food, medicine, or something else. It requires conscious maintenance of the land you are working, and active monitoring of not just your own gathering, but the gathering of your entire community. It requires experiential, often generational knowledge. You cannot boil a resource-gathering operation down to a simple truism and expect others to be able to do it respectfully and sustainably.

This seems like a take from someone who is looking for fault within people. It’s very likely that they were on step one of a foraging journey and you, in your eagerness to connect, gave them pressure and information overload from someone on step nine or ten of their foraging journey. Let people be new at things and don’t pressure them to go all in too quickly. Sometimes people start with the crunchy woodland creature aesthetic and develops into an indigenous horticulture hyperfixation. But it’s never gonna get there if you try to force it or shame people for being new and inexperienced.

[spiderbitesandvampirevenom]

this is a take by an indigenous woman tired of settler foraging destroying the world I live in. don't tone police me with your "let people enjoy things" bullshit. "trying to find fault within people" stfu and go back to self help tiktok.

[huskyluvr]

"Let people be new at things" and the thing they're doing is damaging their local ecosystem and spreading misinformation that will lead to more ecological damage.

This isn't sewing or some other hobby where if you fuck it up its "just a learning experience :)"

Your mistakes can lead to real harm to the environment around you

[spiderbitesandvampirevenom]

"don't pressure people to go all in" and the "going all in" in question is doing the bare minimum of research into real sustainable foraging practices rather than repeating useless overgeneralized rules-of-thumb

pedophiles on here always try to hide behind the argument of censorship, particularly the idea that "uhhh why cant we talk about really serious subjects!! should we just remove anything negative from things??" and its like u guys arent making and consuming pedophilic content to have an intellectual conversation about the darkest, most horrific subject imaginable. ur doing it to get off. be so fucking for real.

[kylejsugarman]

"purity culture" "oh so we cant talk about any dark subjects?? we cant write about anything?? guess ur going to jail for writing about murder in that case lol!!" ur getting off on the fucking thought of kids in sexual situations. theres no "discussion", ur just getting off to it. idgaf if its "behind closed doors", thats fucked up and u cannot be shocked and frustrated that people think ur a nasty person who shouldnt be in contact with kids. "purity culture", u people love to throw a tantrum about purity culture just because a person said to u its disgusting that u make and consume content depicting children in sexual situations. ur the freak for doing it, ur not oppressed for being a piece of shit. lol.

i dont love anyone except killjoy feminists

[junglejim4322]

Unironically I think the early to mid 20s age group in America has unbelievably bad consent boundaries on all levels and so much language to defend it but this makes me sound like elon musk if I say it however the commonality of someone who will be like “I had 47 panic attacks and it’s your fault” if you tell them no is insane

[junglejim4322]

I rejected someone and got called “the scariest person I’ve ever met” with so much therapy speak interspersed like alright okay alright okay alright okay

[junglejim4322]

“You just say whatever you’re thinking and I don’t know how to handle it” was verbatim part of this conversation. Also everyone hates to see an autistic bitch

[transhumanisticpanspermia]

When I was in this age bracket, there was a huge emphasis on improving consent culture via graceful rejection, and it's gone by the wayside. Which sucks.

Twice in my youth (once in high school and once in college) I was in situations where I was asking someone out and I could tell they were calculating in their heads the risks of rejecting me, and both times I said, out loud, "you can say no, I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't prepared for either answer." And then they said no. This wasn't some spark of special wisdom I had - I knew to do it because feminist conversations among my age group brought it up regularly. This isn't happening nearly enough anymore.

More recently, I was really glad when we got to "rejection sensitive dysphoria" in my IOP program and it was one of those symptoms where the therapists really emphasized how it affects others. Because it does.

Being someone who cannot handle rejection makes you much more likely to violate boundaries, and yes, that includes sexual ones. Yes, you, reader who has never hurt a fly. If you don't want to stumble backwards into sexually assaulting someone, fix your RSD meltdowns. If you keep them up it's only a matter of time. Because if you're nice enough to interact with, but are known to have RSD meltdowns, guess what happens when your friends and acquaintances need to reject you?

rape fetishists say that their sexualization of rape does not in fact contribute to rape culture. in other news, when you sweep dust underneath the stove, it actually disappears.

[zoology]

post on my dashboard has a vague message about respecting weird fetishes

ask the mutual who reblogged it if they think this is about sadomasochism or incest

they don't understand

explain that people who are really into incest and pedophilia will often cloak their positivity posts in murky language about acceptance for plausible deniability

they laugh and say "it's a good post"

check the OP's blog

it's actually a neonazi fetish blog this time
