Shifting for Squidward @shifting-perspectives - Tumblr Blog

i don't wanna diagnose anyone and like, i don't want you to mistake this for medical advice, but like... i have had shifting blockages for ages and i didn't know what i was doing wrong, because i have done all the shadow work and ive done all the training and meditating and i have the right mindset and i believe in it and i can debate it 'till the cows come home with people who don't believe it, but i just couldn't. figure. out. what. i. was. doing. wrong. because i'd always get so close to shifting i'd be in the void state id be hearing my DR i'd be smelling my queue smell but i just couldn't make the 'final push' and fully embed my consciousness in my DR and i didn't know why and then i found out that i have sleep apnea and the reason why i can't shift in an asleep method is because before i can get any amount of deep or rem sleep, my body wakes me up so all i can get is light sleep at best...? anyway, if you've been trying to shift for over like... 3 years now and you're not sure what you're doing wrong, maybe you're not doing anything wrong and the shifting blockage may not be a mental thing

Anyway here's some additions from the Maasai and Kikuyu, two grassy plain-dwelling groups from Eastern Africa that I think count as unfuckwithable

Feel like Poland should be included since we're literally called "people of the fields" according to the etymology of Poland.

Also look at her GO

I’m Métis, here’s some of ours! You’ll notice it looks remarkably similar to the above.

We also have some less intricate clothing (if it looks a bit Victorian to you - that’s pretty much the right era for most of this!)

Can’t believe no one’s done it yet I will be the person to add the cowboys: Latin American focus.

Here is the Chilean huaso:

Gauchos, from primarily Argentina where they’re a large national symbol close to the level of cowboys in the US. Also gauchos are in Uruguay. Their pants are called bombachas and the other garment wrapped around them are called chiripas. They work in grasslands called pampas, known for being really fertile:

While they’re not as dressed up as the others or have as prominent of a culture, for a broader Latin American cowboy context, I feel like also adding llaneros, who are from Colombia and Venezuela, in the llanos region, a type of tropical grassland similar to the pampas, hence the name llanero. Pampas get annual flooding and these guys would go barefoot a lot, and you can see that the stirrup on the horse’s saddle is really different than what you’re probably used to seeing, to accommodate for that, which is what I want to point out as an aspect of plains cultures developing clothing/accessories/tools to suit the environment.

Cowboy culture happened wherever Spanish colonial influence and grassland biomes came together. They differ based on the grasslands having different climates (ex tropical in South America), and the local indigenous influence (ex, backtracking to gauchos, they would use this tool called bolas to catch animals, which were basically two balls tied to a string that you threw and it spun around an animals legs, and were an indigenous invention):

I would love to keep posting cowboy dress lol but will stick to the post’s theme of grassland of course.

Adding to the post, I, hereby, present people of Kalash and Chitral:

Chitral means ‘field’ in the native language Khowar. Both Chitralis and people of Kalash are known to be indigenous people of Asia.

I think game studios should just release their character creators online. For the times when I don’t wanna play the whole game, just the lil dress up part

It’s not “finally folding that mountain of laundry and grudgingly doing those week-old dishes”, it’s “honoring Hestia.”

For anyone who needs to hear it, being racist does not require racist intentions. "They can't be racist because they just didn't know any better!" just... isn't how it works.

The whole race change/ethnicity change thing going on in subliminal/reality shifting/manifestation communities is racist, because it's about fetishizing and appropriating from another (often marginalized) group.

Obviously, don't dogpile children involved in this with hate, because kids generally lack the context to understand how and why these things are a problem. That said - kids do need to be educated about racism in a calm and compassionate manner, because they are still absolutely capable of perpetuating it whether they mean to or not.
