one of my favorite anecdotes from the Stonewall riots is when the commotion first started rumbling and distracting the cops, one set of arrested people escaped the police wagon handcuffed together. The pair then walked around Greenwich village until they found someone in the S/M community for a handcuff key.

“No kink at pride.” Babe, who’s gonna unlock the handcuffs?

New Age Things That Bother Me, A Witch

New Age Chakra. It totally ignores the actual history of Chakra and talks about it in ways that make little to no sense. It's not actually Chakra.

Light & Love rhetoric. Not everything is good and happy and nice. It is toxic positivity and it makes me so uncomfortable. It is also very harmful to people in general.

New Age Manifestation. It promises things that cannot happen and promotes this idea that when bad things happen you just don't try hard enough to manifest change and you need to try harder. It also doesn't tell you that you actually need to act on whatever you're manifesting.

Energy Healing. Pretends it can heal mental illness, physical illness, chronic illness, disabilities, and disorders. It cannot and never will be able to.

Crystal Healing. Pretends it can heal mental illness, physical illness, chronic illness, disabilities, and disorders. It cannot and never will be able to.

Spiritual Awakening. Pretends that your mental illness is actually just your psychic powers coming into being. It's not and this kind of rhetoric enables psychosis, delusions, and is extremely dangerous for mentally ill people. Do not romanticize us and pretend we have super powers. We don't.

Indigo Children. This straight up just romanticizes Autism, ADHD, and neurodivergency. It also dehumanizes people who are neurodivergent by making them seem like alien star children. Also is a way to ignore neurodivergency and prevent neurodivergent kids from receiving help.

Essential Oils. Pretends it can heal mental illness, physical illness, chronic illness, disabilities, and disorders. It cannot and never will be able to. These are only good for making rooms smell nice.

All of this and also: 

New Age “Karma.” It’s not anything like how actual karma works, and promotes the idea that one’s actions have immediate, moralized effects. Plus it’s often tied in with prosperity gospel. Anything bad that happens to you is because you did something to deserve it, and putting enough “good vibes” out will guarantee a good outcome (and if it doesn’t, it’s your fault for not trying hard enough.) 

Essential Oils again because even if they smell nice they will burn your skin and give your cats liver failure

Fully embracing consumerism in spirituality and making everything about getting the right products at double the price they should be sold for. Driving up demand/prices until they are only accessible by wealthy people. Also Multi-Level Marketing.

Using “We Are One” rhetoric to avoid discussions of privilege, oppression, and culture-vulturing 

Not just promoting pseudoscientific healing methods, but also using scare tactics to steer people away from professional doctors, therapists, psychiatrists, and other people trained to actually help.

the internet is so cursed, when people look back on the history of covid-19 it's going to look so different from the history of the plague because we will have left a trace of quarantine playlists all featuring toxic by brittany spears

That is why Toxic becomes an ancient earth ballad.
