A mess of emotions

(they/them) I have a  phobia of christians, cosplayers, and white people. It's complicated but I'll just say while I am a mess, I hold a lot of hope which I express through writing and fashion. 😁 Feel free to dm!

lil nas x used industry baby to raise money with the bail project, you can donate here!!

“Music is the way I fight for liberation. It’s my act of resistance. But I also know that true freedom requires real change in how the criminal justice system works. Starting with cash bail. This isn’t just theoretical for me. It’s personal. I know the pain that incarceration brings to a family. And I know the disproportionate impact that cash bail has on Black Americans. I’m doing something about it and I invite you to join me. Donate what you can to the Bail X Fund. Let’s bring people home & let’s fight for freedom and equality.”

It's amazing how people can just bold faced say "These greedy childcare workers want SEVENTEEN dollars an hour? I'm making twenty and barely getting by, how am I supposed to pay them that!" with no self awareness of what they're saying. Like sir if you are struggling at 20$/hr and the babysitter lives in the same town as you, pray tell how you think her life is somehow easier than yours when she's making even less than you per hour, while also needing to buy her own insurance and with no pension for retirement because you have benefits and she doesn't. Oh that's right, that kind of thing doesn't occur to you, because to you she's just a machine you extract value from.

This is what capitalism does to a mfer. Never think about making things better for anyone else, only cheaper for you.

“Aaniin, it’s Giiwedin here, Northwind.

One of my great friends was violently arrested this morning out of ceremony.

Their name is Alex Golden Wolf and they’re a two spirit leader from the White Earth Nation.

This photo is from this morning, July 23rd 2021. It breaks my heart to see the police violently arresting a ceremonial person.

This, I would say, is a violation of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act is happening at the Red Lake Treaty Camp here in northern Minnesota.

STOP HAVING WHITE VOICE ACTORS PLAYING NON-WHITE ROLES

[agreedt]

[attentiondonor]

stop depriving non-white actors opportunities to act and get recognized!

[out-there-on-the-maroon]

Voice actors often don’t know who they’re reading for or what franchise they’re in (that’s what the strike was recently about, so they’d know whether they were in a small first time game or the 4th installment of a major franchise, if they were replacing a beloved voice actor, etc.) so please don’t harass the actors, until recently they legally didn’t have the right to know who they were reading for and were usually not told until months or even years later. 

Definitely go after casting, directors, and studios executives. Those are the people making the decisions. 

[gottageekout-deactivated2018121]

Example of a VA not knowing (and getting screwed on top of it).

[beforetsparrowhawk]

They still don’t have the right to know. They got fucking nothing out of that strike. They can know the code name (which might be a serial number or whatever) and if it’s a sequel. That’s it. That’s the extent of the “transparency” they won from the strike.

[bloodravyn]

As a perfect example of this controversy, if you haven’t looked up interviews surrounding Laura Bailey as Nadine Ross, it’s worth it.

Laura Bailey herself explained that when she auditioned for the role, she was given no information about what the character looked like. It was only after she was hired and arrived for recording that she was shown concept art and discovered the character was a WOC. She was uncomfortable about the situation.

Meanwhile, Neil Druckmann revealed that they were already working on concept art of the character when they hired Laura Bailey. They finalized the character’s design as a WOC after they’d hired a white voice actress, so that was a conscious decision. He was also very flippant about the situation as a whole.

Like people above have said: Yes, whitewashed casting is a legitimate and real issue. But unlike actors in film and stage, voice actors are often totally blind to what they’re auditioning for. They get fucked by NDAs and legal red tape bullshit. Go after the casting directors and execs and high-position game devs that knowingly make these decisions.

[cgaratenby-deactivated20220830]

my only problem with this is that this sounds less like a larp and more like the actual Wild Hunt

Quality larps are as realistic as is practical.

When I got my first tattoo I told my rather beautiful tattoo artist that I refused to be a wuss and she said “Oh dont worry, if you squirm I will pin you down.”

And that lives in my head rent free.

The phrase “exposed to this spider torment” will haunt me

[ventela1]

People in the notes have entirely misunderstood the point of this experiment and what it entails.

It’s not “proving that crickets can be traumatized”. It’s proving that *animals can genetically pass on the stress that a dangerous situation causes, and the offspring will instinctually respond to the same situation without ever having personally experienced it.*

And that’s a big deal for many things, including human psychology.

When Nazis invaded The Netherlands, local Dutch peoples were under extreme emotional and physical duress. The Nazi army took their food for the soldiers, starving the population. They patrolled the streets and harshly reinforced their new laws. Existence was horrible and some parents had to give their children away to wealthier families because they couldn’t feed them anymore. This event is known as the Hongerwinter, or Dutch Famine.

One generation later, the children of mothers who were pregnant at the time of the famine have been proven to exhibit intense reactions to stress, and heightened fight or flight responses. They also experience more obesity because their bodies are prepared for starvation.

Some of these children were never personally exposed to the famine. Their mothers gave birth after conditions had improved, or even after moving to another country. But the effects are there, and those people are now adults who can recognize this and attest that they didn’t experience something else traumatic during childhood. It was passed on in the womb.

You can read about it here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2018/01/31/science/dutch-famine-genes.amp.html

The Famine Ended 70 Years Ago, but Dutch Genes Still Bear Scars

Babies born during the Dutch Hunger Winter became adults with higher rates of health problems. Now researchers may have found the genetic sw

This is called epigenetics. It’s essential to understanding how the human brain and body works. That our responses to stress can be passed on genetically. That it can show up in how we look physically, our physical health, our mental responses, our instinctual reactions. It’s especially important for people who are in therapy and need to understand *why* they act a certain way before they can actually work on it.

So no, this experiment wasn’t “haha let’s torment a cricket”. I’m not going to argue the potential cruelty of the experiment with people. I just want you to understand what it actually all MEANS.

[melancholieanger]

Reblogging for that last comment!

[moonybyte]

It’s also important for understanding why some countries have a heavily overweight population currently, for example. Cause their parents were possibly among those that did extreme diets aka their bodies suffered “starvation”. Like, many psychological and physiological issues might get retraced by such studies.

[three--rings]

All of this, plus, for example the US is only two generations (or more, depending on age) away from the Great Depression and the dustbowl which was a period of extreme deprivation and hunger for many.  One of the lessons of epigenetics is that individuals may have VASTLY less control over their bodies than commonly thought.

(It would also explain, genetically and through heredity, why poorer people weigh more than people from rich backgrounds…it’s inherited adaption to deprivation, not just access.)  Not to mention, of course, generational PTSD and stress responses in traumatized and marginalized populations.
