Hey block this blog
[Image ID: a direct message from tumblr user thelovehair. Message reads: “If the following gif gives you a seizure, then you are a clown”. Below is pictured the red frame of a quickly flashing red/blue gif with the text “ WAH! BULANCE” overlaid]
They sent me a very intense flashing gif when i told them to tag flashing shit they were adding to posts. I fortunately don’t have photosensitive epilepsy but that’s literal sociopath behaviour
[Image ID: two replies from tumblr user hungry-hobbits. the first reads: “if you’re worried about the gifs, you guys don’t even have to go to the blog to block them - go into settings, choose your main blog, scroll down to blocked tumblrs - it allows you to add people by inputting their username as an alternative to going directly to their blog(s) and blocking them”
the second reply reads: “click the little pencil at the far right of the blocked tumblrs thing and it’ll open up a box you can put usernames into”]
id also recommend reporting the blog responsible for sending out the flashing gifs. not that this site’s staff is by any means close to competent, but purposefully sending seizure-inducing gifs to people is quite literally a violent (and potentially lethal) threat
Wow, that’s an awful person. Ways to stop gifs from playing:
Mobile: in tumblr account settings, you can turn off autoplay.
Desktop: “super stop” add on, or google “your browser + disable gifs.”
The CDC is about to release an inaccurate and harmful report!
Charged with reviewing the latest science on ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/ chronic fatigue syndrome) the CDC has failed us again.
Graded exercise therapy (GET) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) are NOT treatments for ME/CFS and can actively cause a great deal of harm. In fact one study found 54-74% of ME/CFS patients report a negative response to GET.
There is an insurmountable quantity of evidence saying that GET and CBT are not treatments or cures for ME/CFS and the original studies supporting these therapies were deeply flawed and biased. But the CDC’s report does not denounce them, stating that they are possible therapies despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary and outcry from the ME/CFS community (patients, advocates, and doctors alike).
Please sign #MEAction’s response to the CDC’s irresponsible report; it’s a throughly researched and well written document and you should read it if you want to understand just how deeply flawed the CDC’s report is.
Join our response. GET & CBT are not effective or safe "treatments" for people with ME!
P.S. This doesn’t just affect American’s. I’m in Australia and reports released by the CDC have an unreasonable amount of sway here. Millions will suffer if this report is allowed to be published. Doctors will mistakenly believe they are doing their best for their patients while doing unimaginable harm. Please sign! They accept signatures from every country, all you need is an email address.
This is really, really important. Please sign.
This scene is hilarious but also painfully real if you read into the queer subtext.
Luca lived his life being told to suppress his dream to see the surface because it’s ‘bad,’ which is very similar to how many young queer ppl are told to suppress their feelings because they’re ‘bad’. Literally right after this scene Luca calls the surface ‘bad’ despite being mesmerized by it.
Luca calling himself a good kid for suppressing his dreams is the equivalent of a queer person calling themselves good for suppressing their real emotions. And I’m sure we all know that isn’t a healthy habit to suppress feelings, if anything its downright depressing. You should never call yourself a good kid for hiding your true self.
In my opinion this scene depicts a parallel to internalized homophobia. Or in Luca’s case… inernalized surface phobia??
maybe this is bc i’m from the south and not fuckin uhhhh new york or wherever the hell but like. it is still not really normalized for a man to wear makeup or nail polish. women with short hair still get offensive comments about their appearances. like even small acts of gender nonconformity can still be scary and dangerous in 2021 and i feel like so many people just live in this progressive bubble where they think that all dudes being Remotely “feminine” in some way are like homophobic tiktok e-boys doing it for clout or whatever and that’s uh. fucking stupid. like i can PROMISE you that the vast majority of gender nonconforming people are not trying to do something that’s never been done before, nor are they claiming to do so, they’re just trying to live their lives and look the way they want to look. you aren’t helping anybody by trying to police who has the right to be wearing skirts or painting their nails or doing their hair a certain way.
anyway this is ur daily reminder that gender nonconformity is not a trend and it’s gross to attack people for being gender nonconforming in a way that you think “has been done before” or “isn’t that special” or whatever the fuck. like i’m sorry but it’s just cruel and hateful! being gender nonconforming still takes bravery and courage. people still face discrimination and harassment. whose cause do you think you’re helping by attempting to be the gatekeeper of nontraditional gender expression? genuinely, who do you think benefits when you attack people for stepping outside of the bounds of traditional gender expression? who? because it certainly fucking isn’t gnc people.
peak interior design to me is maximalism with dark green or black walls
bitches watch howls moving castle once and make this their whole lifestyle
Hot take but the reason witches are so scared of “working with (greek) deities” is because they don’t know what they’re doing and have very little understanding of hellenic theology.
The ancients firmly believed that the gods are much more powerful than whatever imposter spirit you’re scared of.
The ancients did protect themselves, but not against the gods. If anything, the average ancient greek had probably a better spiritual hygiene than most witches today and building a good relationship with deities is part of this.
I don’t know how to put it nicely, but a lot of witches need to start reading something else than half-assed witchcraft books.
Their views seem to also be heavily influenced by the media which regularly portray the Gods in an unflattering light:
(petty, hot-headed, terrifying, practically demonic, merciless against humans, terrorizing or exploiting humans only to consume the dumb ones that gave into their demands while the main character fights them i.e Percy Jackson).
The Media does this because it’s primarily influenced, ran and controlled by Christian people who try to keep people from wanting to work with the gods after the Satanic Panic of the 80s and 90s.
They try to make sure viewers consume the negative Greek god propaganda in order have them the viewers feel grateful the Greek gods are “dead” (like in the God of War video games, Wonder Woman, or them being in the process of dying like in American Gods just to name a few).
The negative propaganda is also designed to make Christianity seem a lot kinder by comparison which is why no one ever tells you to put up wards before contacting angels and I find it ironic that witches consume and accept this type of propaganda against the gods since the media also does the same thing towards making witchcraft out to be demonic, which they complain about.
Another thing the media does that I’ve noticed tend to confuse those who insist the gods are dangerous, is use the gods to exercise Christian analogies like Hades being portrayed as the devil while Zeus represents the Christian God in Disney’s Hercules. This might explain why a lot forget that the ancient Greeks did not view the myths in the same way that Christians view the bible but since the media keeps using the gods to present Christian analogies, it’s easy to assume Christianity and paganism are similar in this but they are not!
The Media influences how people see the Greek Gods because of its ties to Christianity and people are buying into the propaganda and spreading fear instead of researching the actual religion!
doing leftism exclusively on the internet gives you brainworms. like yeah read theory, talk to people on social media, but at some point you have to go outside. please. the things you say and believe about politics have repercussions in the real world and you have to live in that world to understand what those repercussions could be. find out who’s doing mutual aid in your community. join the iww or food not bombs or a community garden or a street medic collective or a prison letter writing campaign or something helpful that forces you to talk with real human beings directly about and in the context of their actual lives
Don't return ebooks or audiobooks you've consumed on Amazon and Audible
Amazon and Audible made it into their policy that you can return ebooks and audiobooks and get a full refund.
They actively promote this, making their book shop into a book lending service, de facto a library you subscribe to. That's their business plan to encourage subscribtions.
The dirty thing, however, is that Amazon and Audible are making the authors pay for each refunded item. They will detract money, income, royalties, from the authors' account. They're not hurting from the refund, the author is.
Look, no-one is saying you're not allowed to return an item if you've read the first 50 pages or listened to the first 45 minutes. Maybe the style is not your thing. Maybe you don't like the narrator's voice. Maybe the quality of the writing drops severely after chapter three. Go ahead, if the product is bad, return it.
What I'm talking about is that no one should be able to listen to a ten-hour audiobook or read through nearly an entire novel and still get a refund.
Most of the readers don't know who's paying for this business plan. It's not Amazon and Audible, they're still keeping your subscription money. It's the authors.
Spread the word.
So, this hasn't crossed my dash yet. (Not blaming anyone, there is soooo much going on in the world and I'd also missed it in the noise).
There is currently a strike at Frito-Lay. in Topeka. These workers are striking because:
They were being forced to work 84 hour weeks. The company's best offer so far is a 60 hour cap. This is shit we fought for a century ago, people.
Their generous offer also includes a whole 4 percent wage increase...over the next 2 years. I'm not sure what COL is in Topeka, but... Well, it's better than the entire 77 cents they've apparently gotten in the last decade.
There's also a report that a worker literally collapsed and dropped dead on the line and the foreman's response was to make them move the body out of the way and put in a replacement. (However, this is unconfirmed and, of course, the company denies it).
There have been multiple OSHA violations at this plant over the last few years, including a forklift accident that's under investigation.
They've now been striking since July 5 but, of course, it only hit the national media yesterday.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/07/14/frito-lay-strike-forced-overtime/
So, why am I signal boosting this?
Because Frito-Lay is refusing to budge. They are attempting to make the excuse that union leadership agreed to the 60 hour work week and crappy pay cut...when union leadership only agreed to put it to a vote.
And this means that we need to put the thumbscrews on them. Remember, this is about 19th century style working conditions.
So, I'm calling on my followers to boycott Frito Lay's until the strike is involved.
Frito-Lay owns:
Lay's
Doritos (Sorry. I really am. I KNOW there's no good alternative to Doritos, although Zapp's are good if you can find them).
Fritos
Tostitos
Cheetos
Ruffles
Sun Chips
Baken-ets
Chester's
Cracker Jack
Islen plantain chips
Funyuns
Grandma's (the cookies)
Matador Meat Snacks
Maui style potato chips
Miss Vickie's
Munchies
Munchos
Rolled Gold
Sabritones
Santitas
Simply
Smartfood
Stacys
The Walking Taco
NatuChips
PopCorners (this one wasn't on their website, but was bought by Pepsi's in 2019 with the intent of adding it. So best avoided just in case). Yes, this really is more than half of the snack aisle. Suggested alternatives:
Kettle Brand Chips
Zapp's (If you can find them. My supermarket had them once and not since, so I'm guessing the culinary cowards in this neighborhood were afraid of "Voodoo" flavored chips).
Pringles
On the Border for salsa.
Wise Cheez Doodles
Bugles
Utz
Store own brand alternatives, if your store has ones that are any good.
Cheez-its
Check before you buy and let's tell these people they don't get to treat workers like that.
This was posted on FB recently by someone supporting the strike!
PepsiCo is the owner of Frito-Lay and strikers are asking for the boycott of their products as well.
I did not know this until it crossed my TL but:
TACO BELL , PIZZA HUT , and KFC are also owned by PepsiCo
image description: a screenshot of a quote tweet by Alan Eyre in response to journalist Lauren Kaori Gurley who is linking to her interview with Mark McCarter, a striking Frito-Lays employee. Her tweet reads: “New: Hundreds of Frito-Lay factory workers are striking in Kansas bc they’re forced to work 12 hr days, 7 days/week. I spoke with Mark McCarter, a Frito-Lays emplo...” tweet is cut off. Quote tweet in response by Alan Eyre is an excerpt from interview (which i have linked below) interview quote reads: “We would rather nobody buy any Frito-Lay products, Fritos, Doritos, Tostitos, Funyuns, Cheetos while we’re on strike. We would also rather nobody buys PepsiCo products while we’re on the line. Pepsico is the owner of Frito-Lay. It owns KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell.”
HERE IS A LINK TO AN INTERVIEW WITH A STRIKER THAT QUOTE IS REFERENCING:
I'm a Frito-Lay Factory Worker. I Work 12-Hour Days, 7 Days a Week - VICE
Psychotic people NEED more coping mechanisms that aren't just "take your meds" . Seeing a psychiatrist is expensive and inaccessible for many, not to mention the fact that for some people, the side effects of antipsychotics are worse than the psychosis itself, and the fact that antipsychotics often don't remove symptoms entirely!
So, here's what I learned, after nearly a decade of being unmedicated due to financial constraints and a religious family that was fairly anti-psychiatry for most of my life:
- STRESS MANAGEMENT. A stress-free life is impossible in this society, but you can definitely lower your stress levels with lifestyle changes. Stay hydrated, exercise, take your vitamins, spend time with loved ones, eat nutritious meals, spend some time outside in nature.
- It's very hard to keep on top of all of this when you're dealing with negative symptoms, and many of us can't access all those things if we're poor, but every little bit helps. To-do lists and bullet journals help me keep on track with this stuff.
- PROPER SLEEP. Sleep deprivation is one of the number one causes of psychosis. Try to get at least 8 hours a night, or however much your body personally needs.
- Stay away from weed unless you already know for a FACT that it doesn't negatively affect you. If you don't know, don't risk it, because it makes paranoia and other psychotic symptoms much worse for most of us.
- When in an episode, it's good to have a safe person around who you can confide in. Someone who will listen to you nonjudgementally, without encouraging your delusions or hallucinations. If you don't have a safe person, psychosis forums, support groups, or even just a private diary are all good places to get your thoughts out.
- One of the best ways I dealt with some of my less intense delusions and paranoias was my "I Don't Care" method. People are watching me through cameras everywhere I go? Whatever, let them watch. I'll put on a little show for them while we're at it. I'm living in a horrifying simulation and if I just look through the cracks I can see the rotting world beneath? Whatever, why would I want to do that? This fake milkshake tastes pretty good, I'm going to go on a fake walk.
- Obviously this takes some practice, because psychosis activates all the parts of your brain that are like FEAR ALERT, FEAR ALERT, SET ALL SYSTEMS TO PANIC, but after some time it's a skill you can hone pretty well.
- Breathing exercises! Tormented by horrifying prophetic visions? Hallucinating bugs all over your body? Your food looks suspiciously like human organs and that's really freaking you out, man? Wrap yourself in a weighted blanket and breathe in for 4 seconds, hold it for 4 seconds, breathe out for 4 seconds, hold, and repeat.
- Avoid the tempting cycle of triggering yourself on purpose, whether it be self harm, curiosity, what have you. When you get the urge, do something distracting instead.
Feel free to add onto this post anything else you've learned!
