Odds Are That I'm Procrastinating Right Now

I don't know what to do.

[sweetdreamspootypie]

Do not quit alcohol cold turkey

Do not suddenly stop drinking alcohol as a new years resolution if you have been consistently using alcohol most days

Your body gets used to the presence of the alcohol as a sedative in your system

Suddenly removing the sedative you are chemically accustomed to is like suddenly removing the wall you are leaning on - you will topple over

You brain electricity gets overexcited

This causes seizures

This causes sudden onset dementia (Wernicke's encephalopathy)

This causes brain damage

If you use alcohol often (even in moderate amounts)

Or in large amounts

Or you have ever noticed you get shakey tremors and anxious when you stop drinking

Then your body is chemically dependant and you need to be very careful coming off alcohol otherwise you will cause brain damage

Slowly wean down the amount you drink over days or weeks

Talk to a doctor about your goals to quit and ask about support options

Medically supported withdrawal is a lot safer

If alcohol withdrawal goes badly there is a 15% chance it will kill you.

Do not go this alone

You deserve to be safe

Please reblog this or other similar posts and talk about it with people around you

Support your friends to be safe

Remember the Cold Turkey Rule:

Quitting drugs can make you feel like you're dying

Quitting alcohol can make you actually die

Do No Do This Alone

You Are Worth Helping

a poem by Jay Hulme, titled Jesus at the Gay Bar

He's here in the midst of it - right at the centre of the dance floor, robes hitched up to His knees to make it easy to spin.

At some point in the evening a boy will touch the hem of His robe and beg to be healed, beg to be anything other than this;

and He will reach His arms out, sweat-damp, and weary from dance. He'll cup this boy's face in His hand and say,

my beautiful child there is nothing in this heart of yours that ever needs to be healed.

Are you normal or did your middle school take you into the woods at night and make you do the slavery/underground railroad simulation

[beggars-opera]

For the uninitiated, the Underground Railroad simulator was a thing from Nature’s Classroom, an experience for suburban kids to get out into nature for a week and have some nontraditional education. There were activities every night but this one was the most infamous.

They would start by bringing everyone into a large room and talk you through the process of being enslaved - you would be told to lay down and close your eyes as they described what it was like during the middle passage, rocking in the bowels of a ship with hundreds of other people and waste dripping on you the entire time, etc. You would pretend to pick cotton while getting yelled at.

Then everyone would be led off in groups by the “conductors” who would walk you through the woods - again, this is at night - pretending to be running away while you would occasionally encounter other characters, either slave catchers or helpers who would interact to your conductor. Everything was completely in character, and you were expected to play the part seriously. Whenever there was an encounter there would be signals to drop to the ground immediately and shut up. I distinctly remember during one of these moments my glasses fell off and I was afraid I was going to get called out, ruin the whole experience, and get us sold back into slavery for making noise while I was rooting around in the leaves like Velma from Scooby Doo.

Eventually, after going in circles for a while, you got to freedom. And s'mores, for some reason.

At the time it was pretty exciting and, as I said before, it was seen as a rite of passage that the older kids who had been through the program before would tell you about and amp up. Because we were kids, and who doesn’t want to go on an adventure in the woods at night? This was in the 90s and early 2000s before people really thought about the implications of such a thing, and as I grew up in an overwhelmingly white town it didn’t occur to me at the age of 11 that this was problematic. It just seemed like a good way of making the experience real for us and the contradiction that it was also fun didn’t cross my mind until later.

Over time, however, as people realized how traumatic this was for black students and how completely inappropriate it was for, well, everyone, parents started to complain publicly and it became quite the news story for a while, even unveiling other museums around the country offering similar programs. While the basics were explained to parents beforehand, the full extent of it really wasn’t evident and people were understandably pissed that their kids were doing something like this.

They have since scrapped the activity and basically reworked it to be about the Oregon Trail, which is only mildly less offensive.

I had an almost exact experience at a camp, but during the day. They encouraged us to dress up. I had a panic attack while locked in a chicken coop. My gym teacher jumped out at us with a gun. They mimicked the sounds of a loud argument and someone being shot and their body being dragged away above our heads while we hid in the foundations of a house. Other people jumped out at us holding animal skulls. We were expected to cross a river. I folded up my little outfit and put it in a special part of my drawer and never looked at it again.

WHAT

This was also the camp that taught me Baby Shark btw

[mobydyke]

we need 15-20 episode seasons again these limited series have the worst pacing in the world and none of the character decisions hold any weight

[mobydyke]

we are slowly killing the difference between television and movies. tv seasons have 6-8 hour long episodes. movies are part 1 and part 2 and both halves are nearly 3 hours long. both of them have too much time and not enough time for the characters to struggle and grow and change. what makes a story better suited for television or film is becoming irrelevant because we are erasing the distinctions and that's bad for both of them!!!

WHAT ABOUT THE GUY THAT FALLS OUT OF THE WINDOW

[thedoctor-and-his-trolls]

WHY IS IT BACK

[organicorc]

no you guys don’t understand, not only is this the first harlem shake out there… these guys aren’t normal military. This is “Telemarkbataljonen”. They’re pretty much the Norwegian equivalent of the fucking black ops. My brother knows a guy in this battalion, and when asked what they do there, he looked my brother dead in the eye and said “That is strictly confidential”. These guys are hard as shit, which makes this even more hilarious

my brother was making fun of me and our other brother for having the same haircut, and we were immediately like "what the fuck are you talking about? you had this EXACT SAME haircut like a year ago. this is your haircut too. jackass." so we start arguing back and forth until our mom stops us and says "come here." and she brings out her ID from when she was a teenager and... its the same haircut.
