also the thing about fictional representations of oppression in mainstream media that are done by white people are shitty and misrepresent how oppression actually works. Usually theres some element of the fictional oppressed people/races having apparently done something to deserve their oppresson or people’s dislike of them, which is literally not how it fucking works, and that’s just one example. They’re really shitty misunderstandings and misrepresentations so when people say “I use this as an analogue irl because racism is just like x oppressed group in this piece of media” like no it isn’t actually. If you’re using that as a reference for how irl oppression works rather than you know. educating yourself irl and empathizing with poc. then you’re automatically going to have a racist, misconstrued view of racism & poc made worse by believing this is a good strategy. Furthermore, they’re usually depictions of white characters. So you’re not actually going off a good reference to even try to empathize with poc, because you’re not even seeing poc being fake oppressed in a bad allegory for racism in media: you’re seeing white characters being fake oppressed in a bad allegory for racism, written by white people. You’re still empathizing with white characters. How does that make sense?

An example of this are the Orcs from Bright. The Orcs are oppressed but the lore of the movie implies they “deserve” it because they tried to summon a Dark Lord in the past and I don’t know who the hell thought that made sense like wtf.

Three types of synesthesia

One fantastic reminder of the varieties of consciousness is the phenomena of synesthesia: the cross-wiring of the brain’s senses in a small proportion of the population. Estimates place the number of varieties of synesthesia at between 50 and 150. Here are three of them:

1. Lexical-gustatory synesthesia

One of the rarest forms of synesthesia, in which people have associations between words and tastes. Experienced by less than 0.2% of the population, people with this may find conversations cause a flow of tastes across their tongue. Not only can taste be involved, but so can temperature, texture and even the location on the tongue. One synesthete who has been tested finds the word ‘jail’, for example, tastes of cold, hard bacon.

2. Mirror-touch synesthesia

Imagine you watch me reach up and touch my own chin, but that you experience a touch on your own chin. This is mirror-touch synesthesia: when you feel the same sensation another person feels. The prevalence for this type of synesthesia is relatively high at around 1.6%. Even amongst non-synesthetes, around 30% of people have a sort of mild form of this in that they experience pain when they see someone else being hurt. This may be a heightened version of at least part of the process involved in how we empathise with others.

3. Misophonia

While many forms of synesthesia are harmless and some consider it enhances their life, not all forms are beneficial. Misophonia — literally “hatred of sound” — is a condition in which sounds trigger strong negative emotions like disgust and anger. It’s extremely rare and may be caused by problematic connections between the auditory cortex and the limbic system. Commonly reported amongst misophones are strong adverse feelings in response to the sounds of other people eating and breathing.

Megan Thee Stallion confirmed that Tory Lanez shot her. We already knew!! We believed her. Megan also said that Tory and his team spread all those rumors to the blogs. Anyone that defended him you look FOOLISH. If ya made jokes you’re not seeing heaven and neither is he. And before you start, she said she decided to be done with him and get out of the car and he shot her as she was walking away. No reason.

Once again people forcing her to relive her trauma. She even posted her wounds yesterday. Why don’t you believe Black women?? Quickly!
