people are like "if you put crabs in a bucket they can't escape because they keep pulling each other back in, this is called crab bucket mentality and describes why people don't help each other" and never acknowledge that crabs do not naturally occur in buckets, a human with more power had to put them there

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

It doesn't "describe why people don't help each other".

It describes a genuinely harmful and reductive behaviour in which people start becoming the wardens of their own prisons as a trauma response, thus transmitting that trauma to others. Of course crabs don't naturally come in buckets; it's not describing natural human behaviour.

Example: patriarchal mores demand that a woman be subservient, quiet and houseproud to be successful, or she'll end up on the streets. A woman internalises this, and insists her daughters therefore meet these same standards. When the next door neighbour chooses to have a job instead of staying home with her husband, the woman judges her harshly, because how dare she! Doesn't she know that's not how you Woman successfully? Doesn't she know she's shaming other women by comparison? She should be shunned as Wrong. When her daughters grow and say they want jobs too, the woman punishes them, and eventually disowns them as Bad Women who bring her shame.

The fact that this shitty behaviour is ultimately triggered by patriarchy does not make this woman less of a cunt to her neighbours and daughters. It is important to name and critique this phenomenon. Crab bucket mentality is an excellent metaphor for it.

you need to understand that i have two sets of headcanons. there's the set of realistic headcanons based on my genuine reading of the show, and then there's me playing pretend with my dolls.

Stardew valley but the alien that shows up is Sephiroth.

Good thing one of the recipes in the game is Pumpkin Soup. If you feed it to him, he will help around the farm and cuddle the junimos.

Honestly, Tvyek is pretty miraculous. It’s permeable to water vapor but not to water, it’s nearly impossible to tear, but can be easily cut. It’s cheap and made entirely without binding chemicals. In addition to being used for wristbands, it’s used to wrap construction sites to keep out water during construction, for tear-resistant envelopes at Fed-Ex, coveralls for mechanics, and my wallet, actually.

Fun tip, though it looks like paper, Tyvek is plastic, and cannot be recycled with paper.

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it

[headspace-hotel]

Every time I see a Van Gogh that’s not one of his better known pieces it absolutely blows me away

You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.

[paradigm-adrift]

I don't have a problem with people listening to music per se, but I do have a problem with the music industry exploiting & mistreating artists.

Personally, I abstain from all music in order to keep my hands clean but really music should just be illegal outright to protect musicians from abuse.
