my friend's discord server has a "proof of touch grass" channel where they post pics of them doing regular activities outdoors/in public. i think many online spaces could benefit from such a thing
when i was super depressed - like struggling to eat anything barely able to get out of bed to pee depressed - my good friend asked me every day to send her a picture of me holding a leaf and a picture of a meal i was eating and it helped me significantly
(also, she was never judgey - if my meal was a single potato chip she would simply say good job eating a potato chip today <3 )
which is to say, i agree proof of touch grass is a good idea for online spaces
This kinda required my brain a bit
Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.
Word for today: wisdom of repugnance
The logical fallacy that because something disgusts you it must be bad
this is probably the funniest example of a tumblr user simply not reading the post theyre reblogging at all
Reblog if you are a freak who is justifying their gross actions

Reminder that chronic migraines aren't all "headaches." For some people migraines are just sudden attacks of basically any shitty symptoms imaginable depending on the person. Your "migraine" might be a sudden onset of extreme tiredness, temperature sensitivity, confusion and blurry vision, another person's might look like a panic attack or even a heart attack, some people experience hallucinations, become hypersensitive to smells, have to urinate a weird amount, feel numb in their fingers, flu symptoms, stroke-like symptoms, dissociation, allergy symptoms, literally anything because a "migraine" is just when your brain explodes with overactivity and sets off a bunch of pathways at once that it's not supposed to, like a computer in a power surge.

The magic of childhood is that you were constantly encountering new things. The best way to feel that way again is to fill your life with new experiences.

I’ve been rewatching Merlin and I have genuine thoughts about it
One is that it only makes sense is Merlin has unrequited romantic feelings for Arthur- otherwise a lot of his choices make no sense.
EVEN SO morally the entire series is extremely centrist if not blatantly conservative. We are asked to sympathise with a genocidal king and see his perspective as justified meanwhile those of whom who critique him are labelled as bad. A handful of those are coded as Indigenous folk.
Every “villain” is justified, if not entirely ethical. Many “plots” to assassinate the king are done so without much cruelty and attempt to minimise collateral damage. It makes no sense that these attempts of Uther’s life are framed as particularly egregious when they’re actually very merciful.
There’s many missed opportunities of development and depth of character. We only ever see Morgana develop. Characters are given development within an episode and then it’s reversed as soon as the next episode begins.
Anthony Head is a fantastic actor and I love him. He steals every scene he is in and even in plot lines that cheapen his character he still knocks it out of the park.
Narratively Gaius and Hunith should have died. It leaves Merlin without the opportunity to grow and develop his own moral backbone. This may happens. In particular Gaius is a cheap was for the directors to have an exposition dump and not have any faith in their audience.
Likewise, having the Magic reveal ONLY AT THE VERY END is a missed opportunity for development, a changed dynamic, and so many sick storyline’s that would make it interesting. But the directors evidently didn’t trust the audience enough to stay without the suspense of the reveal.
Gaius is an awful person who caused the death of many of his friends and of innocent people- children explicitly are included in this. He is not punished by the narrative for this. The story believes that turning a blind eye to the death of a people is morally okay.
I disagree with Merthur as a concept. For one- narratively as I said I believe it only makes sense if Merlin’s feelings are unrequited and painful for him. Secondly, Arthur is abusive and cruel. The dynamic would indeed shift if the magic reveal was included in this but again- the power dynamic and the tension of both being afraid of each other would make far more sense and be far more narratively satisfying if it were Merlin’s unrequited feelings for Arthur.
Why does Merlin never actually break down? Why does he never get a moment where in his grief and rage and trauma we see a full outburst of his power?
Katie McGrath is so gorgeous she makes me not care about how egregiously historically inaccurate her costuming is I do not care.
I had another point but I forgor.
I will continue this thread as I continue my rewatch.
Bringing this back to say RIP Anthony Head

‘The Ghetto Tarot’: Haitian artists transform classic tarot deck into stunning real life scenes:
Welcome to the Ghetto Tarot, a project from award-winning documentary photographer Alice Smeets and a group of Haitian artists known as Atis Rezistans. The idea was to take the classic Rider-Waite tarot deck of 78 cards and create a photographic version of each card using settings and objects in the vibrant ghetto of Haiti.
As Smeets says, “The spirit of the Ghetto Tarot project is the inspiration to turn negative into positive while playing. The group of artists ‘Atiz Rezistans’ use trash to create art with their own visions that are a reflection of the beauty they see hidden within the waste. They are claiming the word ‘Ghetto,’ thus freeing themselves of its depreciating undertone and turning it into something beautiful.”
