Ever Given Week, 22 March to 29 March (observed)

22 March - Ever Given Eve. Many celebrate by completing some small task they’ve been putting off, symbolically clearing blockages in their own lives.

23 March - Blockage Day! The main celebration. The exchanging of memes.

24 to 28 March - Hilarity ensues. Memes continue to circulate. The best are saved for next year’s observances.

29 March - Clearance Day. Festivities wind down. A more solemn occasion.

here's a random word generator--whatever word it gives you is now the thing you are the deity of

[charlesoberonn]

America has a weird relationship with cults where they’re terrified of small cults (or organizations they think are cults) but completely normalized massive cults that hurt many more people (eg: LDS Church, Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Amish, Scientology, most Megachurches)

[charlesoberonn]

To anybody asking if the Amish are a cult, the answer is yes, very much so.

They’re a high control group that isolate you from society. The cult decides how you dress, how you behave, who you marry and how. They control what you know, blocking all information from the outside world. They control how you feel and what you’re allowed to think with threats of both social and supernatural harm. They’re a cult.

[charlesoberonn]

The best method to determine if a group is a cult, in my opinion, is Steven Hassan’s (cult expert and former cult member himself) BITE model.

BITE stands for Behavior Control, Information Control, Thought Control, and Emotional Control.

The more points a group “scores” on the model, the more of a cult it is.

I think this model is the best one for several reasons:

It’s more nuanced than “cult” or “not cult” and doesn’t make false equivalences between groups

It’s versatile, applying to groups big and small, and cults of all kinds, religious, political, financial, etc.

It focuses on what’s important, which is what the cult does to its members, and those members’ experiences, and not on irrelevant details like how uncommon their doctrines are or whether they have a charismatic leader

[charlesoberonn]

This is a great example of Thought Control used by cults whenever they’re confronted with criticism.

[saxifraga-x-urbium]

#you might notice that there are a lot of similarities between cult techniques and those of abusive partners#and that is an important thing to be aware of

yah that goes in the post

[tonightweredrinkingfromthebong]

theres this guy on youtube who just gets stung by increasingly deadly/painful insects and the videos are like 5 minutes of him getting psyched up to sting himself and then 10 minutes of him lying on the ground shrieking in agony

[naamahdarling]

His name is Coyote Petersen and he is like what if your nerdy cub scouts leader made a youtube channel where he does nothing but have himself get bitten by gators and stung by insects for views in the hopes it will make people like him.

I like him a lot.

[elodieunderglass]

This is the Ocelot Friend?!

[thequantumqueer]

this guy is an irl Palahniuk protagonist

[evilkillerpoptarts]

Oh my god I love him. Ocelot Friend (Coyote Peterson) is the BEST

He once climbed a tree to get a coconut, reached for it, then joyfully shouted “I caught an iguana!  I’m putting it in my pocket!”

He then DOES SO and finishes collecting coconuts.  He named the iguana Wilson and, upon releasing him, did an EXCELLENT recreation of the “Wilson floats away” scene from Castaway.

He gets stung/bitten/injured intentionally to show what basic first aid can be done, and accidental injuries are also used as teachable moments.  As far as the extremely painful stings went, he was challenged to get stung by a bullet ant but decided to work his way up the insect pain index scale first so he had some idea of how bad it was going to be.  He also insisted on catching each insect first.  For the tarantula hawk, he caught it but also fell into a cactus while doing so, and then used that as a teaching moment of what to do when you fall into a fucking cactus.

His camera guys are the best, too.  They do much breaking of the fourth wall and make snarky comments periodically.  They provide much first aid for some reason.

Coyote is basically what you get if Steve Irwin and a golden retriever had a baby.

[kyraneko]

Reblogging primarily because I’ll never meet a cooler concept than a guy named Ocelot Friend.

New [tumblr] users: there is something very important for you to know.

There is a secret callsign for [tumblr] users.

If you spot a wild [tumblr] human in the wild, you must tell them this phrase:

"I like your shoelaces."

The appropriate reverse-call, if you hear this phrase, goes thusly:

"Thanks! I stole them from the president."

I'm paying literal actual money for you to see this, so don't let it be in vain. Use this phrase everywhere.

[mortimermcmirestinks]

responses to this post so far:

40%  “the ancient texts!”

30% “oh we’re bringing this back?”

20% “fuck you OP” and/or “you paid money for this!?”

10% “do not cite the deep magic to me, witch, I was there when it was written”

[mortimermcmirestinks]

@rotten-dan​ this is a good question. honestly? little of column A, little of column B.

I do love the culture here, and I both unironically love the shoelaces thing as a cute little relic of a bygone era of freeform [tumblr] silliness and appreciate it as an AoE psychic damage attack on those old enough to remember those days.

I want to both include younger people by teaching them [tumblr] history, as goofy and "cringey" as it may be -- because I absolutely want any new people to feel welcome in this absolutely bonkers community -- and I want to deal just, like, massive psychic damage to those of us old enough to remember -- because, well, after all, that's a time-honoured part of the culture here, too.

do I think this code is silly and very few people will use it? sure.

do I think people should be going around using this code? absofuckinglutely.

"Don't kill the part of you that's cringe, kill the part of you that cringes."

[richard-lengthenhancer]

Anyways, I like your shoelaces.

[mortimermcmirestinks]

thanks! I stole them from the president

[mortimermcmirestinks]
