Have you ever stopped to wonder why, when attempting to enter a website, you are suddenly asked to prove your own humanity? And furthermore,
This is horrifyingly true.
San Jose invited tech companies to mount cameras on a vehicle in what appears to be first-of-its-kind experiment
If you get a captcha asking you to identify the tents or the RV's, request a new captcha. Stop snitching now includes making sure you're logging in online ethically I guess?

Spicy-brained friends, I would like to propose an update to the very useful ‘if you hate everyone, eat, if everyone hates you, sleep, and if you hate yourself, shower’ mantra to live by
Have you suddenly become a petty, hateful little gremlin who thinks people should face the firing squad for (checks notes) leaving teabags on the counter, breathing loudly, or daring to exist in the same space as you? Perhaps mundane and reasonable requests like ‘hey, we agreed to hang out now, let’s hang out’ make you want to scream and move to a yurt in the woods.
You. Are. Overstimulated.
People talk a lot about being overstimulated, and the physical/mental effects of it. What I haven’t seen is people talking about what it does emotionally, and it took me an embarassingly long time to link up those nitpicky, resentful emotions with the state of overstimulation/meltdown/shutdown.
These feelings do not mean that you’re a bad person! They probably aren’t how you actually feel about the people around you. They probably do mean that your nervous system is at its absolute limit and any request/demand/stimulus is Too Much and taking you into fight or flight territory.
Go lie down in a dark room for an hour, or find somewhere safe and familiar to stim for a bit. If it’s happening a lot, schedule yourself regular low-stimulation shutdown time
Signed: someone who moved in with their nearest and dearest only to have a massive crisis of faith about Suddenly Hating All of Them. I don’t hate them, it’s just overstimulating living with people. If I can spare anyone else a similar 9 months of suspecting that they may actually be a bit of a shit person, then this post is worth it!
you might especially feel this way if someone picks up on your bad mood, but all their kind suggestions make you want to bite and scream. in my experience that’s not because you hate them or even the suggestion, it’s probably because *any* new information or ideas, no matter how gentle, is just Too Many Thoughts. this is when it helps a lot to have a plan in advance, even if the plan is just “take medication” or “go to hidey-hole,” because trying to think of a solution in the moment might be beyond you.
(also if ur overstimulated, it’s often worth checking if you need to eat/sleep/shower as well, because that might be part of what’s overstimulating you!)
Just a Little Reminder
Lucifer would want you to take pride in yourself, you're amazing and you deserve to feel that way
Mammon would want you to be greedy, it's not wrong to want nice things for yourself
Levi would want you to enjoy your passions, regardless of what others think
Satan would want you to allow yourself to feel your emotions, the good ones, the bad ones, and even the ugly ones
Asmo would want you to wear what you want, look the way you'd like, and love who you want to love
Beel would want you to eat, your body needs fuel
Belphie would want you to get some actual sleep, being tired all the time sucks
Diavolo would want you to take charge of your own destiny, you don't have to follow the path that people tell you to
Barbatos would want you to take a break, you can't spend all of your valuable time working
Luke would want you to stand up for yourself, you shouldn't have to be treated poorly
Simeon would want you to take the time to recharge when you need it, your mental health is worth more than the feelings of others
Solomon would want you to accept guidance when needed, its ok to ask for help, he wouldn't be where he is now without the guidance he received
overall, you deserve to be taken care of, not only by others but also by yourself. you're allowed to feel good about yourself and do what you like and just live and love and exist in the way you want to and you shouldn't let anyone give you shit for it

as someone who has had anaphylaxis and been to hospital multiple times please learn :) the reaction can also return or be delayed; i’ve had flare-ups for the entire week afterwards even on steroids. it will be a great help and you could save a life
There is a new Chrome extension that detects if a video you’re streaming has a strobe in it, will freeze the video and stick this warning up there until you approve it.
WHERE THE HELL HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE????

So you're telling me that we all stan a flat-earther prototype puppet??
I had a dream that unless the teacher told us class was over, we were forbidden from going out the door. Our teacher was very forgetful, and maybe even malicious. After being forced to stay past sunset many days, my class decided we were going to break out every night. Eventually our attempts led us to discovering rifts in space-time where we could warp. So we never used the door. Checkmate.

what? you going to critique my dreams? my subconscious creations, that I did by accident, while asleep? the chemicals in my brain? are you going to use your foul eyes and dissect all of the plotholes in my dreams? you going to critique the weather? harass the clouds? make fun of thunder for being off key? remind me to come to your house and shred your shoes
That response is fucking Shakespearean.
Note to self: memorize those last two lines in case I ever need to deliver a sick burn in verse.

My mom has fairly severe respiratory issues and is recovering from joint replacement; her PT told her the same info about sleeping/sitting positions and how they impact the lungs. Fascinating.
I was trying to explain to my sister-in-law that I simply cannot turn on my car headlights if anyone is looking at me and she thought I was crazy.
Literally nothing more embarrassing than tying your shoes in public like oh look at me I'm a 5 year old because I couldn't tie my shoes tight enough to last a walk through the kroger
are y’all okay
nothing more embarrassing than being early for a meetup and being embarrassed that you look weird so you start playing with the notification bar on your phone pretending you're texting someone
Using an elevator or an escalator is the most embarrassing thing to me, ever. Like yup I pushed the button now watch me stand here like an idiot because I don't know when it'll come to my floor. Or looking at the right step to get on the escalator please stop this, I wish humans could teleport
What are your thoughts on cultural appropriation?
I think it’s often exaggerated to hell as I’ve seen it on tumblr. That’s not to say it doesn’t exist, though.
A white person wearing a kimono won’t singlehandedly kill the Japanese population, and is in fact often seen (with good reason) to be respectful. A lot of Japanese people like foreigners wearing their clothing - they’ll give them as gifts, help them put them on and be delighted that someone is embracing this little part of their culture.
You know what’s cultural appropriation? Taking something of historical or religious significance and making fun of it or outright desecrating it (looking at YOU, j-law in hawaii), simplifying something to an outright offensive portrayal of what it actually is instead of looking into the significance of it (see: geisha, who have slowly become to be associated with ‘comfort women’ or courtesans because of how ‘exotic’ they were perceived to be), racism (wearing a sombrero hat is all in good fun, but when it accompanies blackface / racist remarks, stereotypes + accents, not so much ), and lumping cultures with a common signifier (native american reservations, asian countries, african countries) and heavily misattributing things to them based on assumptions and rumors, which are often racist, especially things that might be practiced or be more common than your average American state, but absolutely do not represent them in any way and sometimes aren’t even a cultural thing at all. (China and eating dog; Indians being scam callers and/or inherently misogynistic, etc)
There is no reason for culture not to be shared and embraced in a respectful way – even ignorant, if the person is willing to listen and learn – and there is nothing inherently wrong, in my opinion, if culture just happens to be a tourist attraction, sometimes. Take pictures to your delight, so long as you’re not banned from doing so. Do yoga and find inner peace or whatever. Participate in tradition and be amazed, amused, poke a little fun because culture is bound to be different from what you’re used to and it’s not always considered good, it’s not always awe-inspiring, sometimes it’ll be a little silly and you’re not obligated to fully immerse yourself into appreciating it - sometimes you just experience it and move on with your life.
We are what we are because of the way culture has evolved, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to take some random user’s icy take on gatekeeping at face value.
As an anthropologist: fucking thank you!
I also want to make a quick note on the term “cultural appropriation” itself: It is not by definition a bad thing.
Cultural appropriation is, simply, doing something that is common to another culture but not your own. Human beings have been appropriating each others’ cultures since one Neanderthal looked over at what another Neanderthal was doing and said, “Nifty.”
A Swede learning to cook stir-fry is cultural appropriation. A Korean eating pizza is cultural appropriation. An American wearing a kimono to a festival in Japan is cultural appropriation. But that’s fine! There’s nothing wrong with sharing ways of doing things, there’s nothing wrong with participating, especially when the sharing of knowledge/methodology improves people’s lives!
What isn’t fine is, as OP said, being disrespectful. Treating sacred objects as decoration is not okay. Misusing terminology is not okay. Forcing a group into a debt to you specifically to the point where they have to make and sell you cultural objects for a pittance, and then turning around and selling those objects to tourists and making bank is not okay.
What also isn’t fine is seeing a picture of someone whom you assume to be white wearing a sari and bitching her out because you don’t know that she’s half American and half Indian and that’s her fucking sari. What isn’t fine is seeing an American at a festival in Japan and bitching him out because you don’t know that his Japanese friends dressed him up for the festival because Western clothes would be totally out of place. What isn’t fine is speaking over minorities as you try to “defend” them from what you deem to be bad behaviour when your judgement is based in your own ethnocentrism.
Human beings are curious creatures. We’re always going to want to see what the other guy’s doing. There’s nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is taking advantage of the other guy or spitting on the things that are important to him. And that’s equally true when someone is saying “Stop abusing our culture” and when someone is saying “Please participate in our culture.”
