Writer’s block tip: If you’re blocked up because the plot got unraveled, go through and plot from the perspectives of all the characters involved. Some characters make the path clearer than others
I was doing this for one of those characters who gets things done mysteriously and I had to explain how/why she does things, and now she has affiliations with people who had nothing to do with her a few seconds ago. I really recommend this guys
god I wish I was decomposing in the mountains
person: hey you ok?
me, dissociating:
might fuck around and become a false prophet
when you’re trying to write and your last two functioning brain cells start yelling at each other
im sorry but nothing is funnier than headcanoning someone as homophobic
why are there bruises on my knees
i snuck into your house while you were sleeping and used one of those doctor reflex tester hammers to beat the shit out of your knees specifically
the older i get the more i can understand why people back in the old fairytale days would just fuck off and be a hermit in the woods. just chilling out in the middle of nowhere and occasionally telling random heroes cryptic shit. living the fucking dream.
man i wanna be a frog with a little wizard hat on
“Capitalism made your-”
No. LABOUR made it. LABOUR made my phone, my laptop, the internet, this website, my clothing, my house, all social media, and everything else. LABOUR makes things, Capitalism doesn’t because economic systems don’t ‘make’ anything, they just determine who gets paid for making things.
… and atoms literally make up everything
if you dissociate hard enough you can eavesdrop on conversations you’re a part of
i don’t remember making this post
you made the claim and then you proved it
@ all clothing store employees im so sorry im so bad at folding i just wanted to look at it
When you call somebody’s name but they don’t know where it’s coming from
This is genuinely frightening
You know when a horror movie has so many jokes it feels more like a comedy? This is the exact opposite of that
It Follows (2014)
The Stanford prison experiment tapes were so stupid when I watched them in AP psych and so stupid when I watch this film about them. Literally they could’ve all sat and played cards and got $15 a day to tell ghost stories all day and be best friends. But masculinity and whiteness and power created this violent irrationality that positioned young ass men to be met with brutality and trauma and disrespect even when it was obviously taken too far. and it makes no sense. If someone put me in a room with Black girls and said I would get paid $90 a day (that’s the equivalent apparently) to be a prison guard, do you know how fast I’d be sitting with them and learning about them and exchanging Instagrams and like.. sleeping.. like what the fuck was the point of any of that…
My psych teacher introduced us to this study and literally before she showed us was like “don’t ever confuse a study based on one type of person (white men/boys) to be an example of an Everyman situation. There is strong evidence that if this was recreated with diversity, or even just with girls, that the results would have been drastically different. This is an example of bias and sexism in the medical research community.”
“Other, more subtle factors also shaped the experiment. It’s often said that the study participants were ordinary guys—and they were, indeed, determined to be “normal” and healthy by a battery of tests. But they were also a self-selected group who responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking volunteers for “a psychological study of prison life.” In a 2007 study, the psychologists Thomas Carnahan and Sam McFarland asked whether that wording itself may have stacked the odds. They recreated the original ad, and then ran a separate ad omitting the phrase “prison life.” They found that the people who responded to the two ads scored differently on a set of psychological tests. Those who thought that they would be participating in a prison study had significantly higher levels of aggressiveness, authoritarianism, Machiavellianism, narcissism, and social dominance, and they scored lower on measures of empathy and altruism.” http://www.newyorker.com/science/maria-konnikova/the-real-lesson-of-the-stanford-prison-experiment
The thing about this study is that whether or not it’s generalizable to the public is debatable at best.
But it’s certainly generalizable to the population of people who tend to be drawn to prison system and law enforcement jobs because that’s exactly the demographics that tend to show up in those positions.
