Blacaman: The Animal Hypnotist Who Cheated Death

If you ever look for old hypnosis posters online, you will likely stumble upon the two posters below as they are reposted on a load of different websites and are usually presented without any context.

Taika Waititi actively made sure not only Māori but other indigenous identities, specifically aboriginal Australians, were represented in his film since they were filming on their ancestral lands. 

he invited the Yugambeh mob to welcome them and even had a Māori Kaumātua (elder) to perform a Karakia, “a kind of open-up ceremony from [his] side of things as well.”

he hired an Aboriginal water company to supply that water on set

he wanted to make space for indigenous filmmakers and thus had 8 indigenous interns on set to learn and gain film experience

yes, Taika is a lot of fun and super goofy. But that doesn’t mean Ragnarok doesn’t stand for something bigger. Taika is not only the first Polynesian man to direct a superhero movie, but he is also the first indigenous person to do so too. While he is barrel of laughs and a half, please don’t forget what Taika brought to the MCU. (x) (x) (x)

RP Update

Okay, so those replies I said were coming...are still coming.

Here’s what it is: I am trying a new schedule for May. I am cautiously optimistic that it will give me more writing time. I hope. But the fact is that I really need to be focusing on my mental health and PT for my shoulder (because it’s wonky). So with that in mind, I’m going to put @amuseablefeast and @heyarace on hiatus and focus on @finstergrayson and @haydensineater until I have a better handle on things. At some point I’ll be writing up blog-specific posts for them, with more specifics.

Just to give you an idea of how overwhelmed I’ve been feeling: it’s taken me about 2 weeks to post this. This week is going to be a bit busy, but I’m hoping to have some more draft to post this coming Sunday/Mondayish.

I really cannot apologize enough for the continued delays and slowness. I’m so sorry and grateful to people for being patient, if they still are.

I fully endorse everything about this post.

[latestphase]

I have done 2 replies!! Progress is slow (sooooooooo sloooow), but it EXISTS!

*cackles with mad defiance for several minutes*

So to the several people to whom I still owe rp replies: THEY ARE COMING. THEY ARE HAPPENING. Just. Y’know. At a snail’s pace.

RP Update

Hello, humans and what-have-you. Long time no see. I’m sorry for being AFK for such a long time and for not updating. Here’s how things stand: I am planning on still RPing. I am hoping to starting making updates soon. The situation is complicated by a couple things. First, there have been some changes to my schedule (and may be some more ahead) that have been a little challenging because they effect my writing time. Second, just looking at all the drafts and threads kind of sends my anxiety through the roof and paralyzes me a bit, so I’m having trouble tackling things.

So I’m going to be taking things pretty slowly. If you (understandably) want to drop our thread(s), please let me know. If you definitely do NOT want to drop our thread, letting me know that would be cool, too. If we had multiple threads going with the same muses, I might need to drop down to one or two, but it will sort of depend.

I don’t know exactly when I’ll start posting replies. I have a tendency to get sucked into unhealthy internet-related behaviors and in trying to combat that I often swing fully to the never-go-online-at-all end of things. :-/

I am deeply thankful for the awesome RP partners who have been so patient and understanding and still want to write with me despite my being an anxious hermit.

Hi everyone. Just an update: still suuuuper hermity/depressed. I really want to do replies, I don’t want to drop any threads. But I honestly can’t right now, so if you need to, I understand. I’m so sorry and hope to be back soon. Thanks for your patience.

RP Update

Hey guys. I have been hermity and just kinda down and feeling really isolated and detached from everything. Today was my sister’s birthday and tomorrow and Saturday we are doing inventory at work. After that I am planning to seriously actually resume threads and drafts and such. Thank you so much for your patience. I am truly grateful, and sorry for the delay. Also for any typos I’ve made because I’m still a bit tipsy from bowling alley cape cods. *hugs you all tight*

one of the least helpful things ive been told as a neurodivergent person is “don’t half ass things”

if you can quarter ass something, do it! if all you can do is clean a corner of your room, or only read one of the two assigned chapters, or write the heading for your resume, or put all the papers for taxes in a pile, do it! if today isn’t a whole ass day, take pride in the portion of ass that you were capable of

don’t let neurotypicals work ethic define how you did today

[andthenweloved]

honestly this info/post is so so so important.

like i have lived in my new appartment for about half a year now and my autistic ass would never have cleaned it even once if i hadn’t allowed myself to halfass my cleaing.

instead of waiting for a day (that would never come) where i would have the energy and executive function to clean all of it, i took it one bit at the time. one day i might vacuum the kitchen. another day i might dust the livingroom.

you don’t have to do it all at once. it’s ok to just do a little bit.

if you ever think you’re petty, just remember that clodius pulcher, hotboy of the late roman republic, got his rival cicero exiled from rome, tore down cicero’s house while he was gone, and built a shrine to the goddess liberty on top of the site so that cicero couldn’t rebuild his house if he got recalled from exile

Funny story from the other night:

A dad came into my cafe with his 3 year old daughter.  He bought her a cookie and himself a coffee.  They sit down, and I go back to my pre-closing cleaning.  Three minutes later the dad walks up to the counter again, so I stop cleaning and walk over to greet him again.

As I’m in the middle of saying “hi” he cuts me off and says “Water.”

Not “Can I get a glass of water, please?” not “Where can I get water?” not even a confused “water?” like he’s not sure how to get water in this cafe.  Just a single word demand.

I work in silicon valley, so I’m kind of used to techies talking to me like I’m Siri or Alexa, but it still always drives me crazy when they do this.  Like, I don’t even care about the “please” anymore, I just want people to talk to me in complete sentences.  So I get the guy a cup of water, and he sits back down. 

As I’m about to go back to cleaning I hear his daughter go “Daddy, you did that WRONG.  You have to say ’CAN I have a glass of water PLEASE’”

My jaw hit the ground.  The dad suddenly became flustered and tried coming up with excuses “I-I said please…” “No you didn’t!” “Well she was busy…. I didn’t want to bother her…..” “You still got to be polite!”

When they were done eating the dad brought the dishes back to the counter and said “Thank you so much!” It’s amazing how fast someone’s manners can improve when a 3 year old calls them out.

Shout out to whoever is teaching that little girl manners, because you know it’s not her dad.  I hope she never stops calling rude people out.
