I Hope That He Doesn't Mind

I’m scared I’m awful boring,

That one day he’ll ignore me,

That my jokes aren’t that funny,

I hope that he doesn’t mind.

How did I find one this kind?

It’s like he can read my mind,

Am I doing this thing right?

I hope that he doesn’t mind.

He keeps the stars in his eyes,

and hides the sun in his smile,

I must be doing things right,

I hope that he doesn’t mind.

He feels like coming back home,

He kills the bugs I’m scared of,

I can’t stop holding his hand

I hope that he doesn’t mind.

He makes me feel so soft,

I’ve never felt such safety,

I’ll just lay in his lap,

I hope that he doesn’t mind.

His hair smells like cotton candy,

He snores like a small bear,

I’ll just play with his hair,

I hope that he doesn’t mind.

Could we be going too fast?

Dear God, how long will we last?

Can I be honest with you?

I don’t really mind.

one of my fave things ever is when i listen to a song that i havent listened to in soo long and that i had basically forgotten it even existed and it gives me this absolutely random memory of me listening to it in a certain place feeling a certain emotion and suddenly im recalling 25356 different memories of my life during that period and it feels so surreal and so nostalgic and just. oh i love how a simple song can provoke such a special feeling

Folding Laundry

Oh how I can’t wait

For the great escape

This big wide world we’ll see

But i also can’t wait,

For weekly dates

And folding laundry

For long car rides

And days outside

Just you and me

And for domestic bliss

A gentle kiss

And folding laundry

Of all the things

That make me sing

How strange it seems

But when the storms are gone

And the fires on

And the speakers loud

Playing our song

Soaked to our toes

From the rain and snow

Something you’ll appreciate I know

Is fresh folding fresh laundry

With me!

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.

the best thing that we can do right now to fight for abortion rights is donating to your local abortion fund, especially in states with “trigger laws” or laws that will immediately take harsh measures to shut down abortion rights as soon as roe is overturned. If you don’t know your local abortion fund or states with trigger laws, here’s one in Texas, one in Louisiana, one in Georgia, one in West Virginia and one in Mississippi (all states with such “trigger laws”). There’s so many more beyond the handful i just listed here but times like these are the time to donate and support the incredible work that these organizations do for their communities. 

[pussyhoundspock]

sorry, better version of this post: here is the national abortion fund archive where you can find your local abortion fund and here’s an article from the cut about abortion funds explaining which states are trigger law states and the specific regulations around abortion they have (also links abortion funds themselves at the bottom)
