hii, i'm so sorry if this comes off as bothersome, but may i ask how you come across pdfs of books? i've been wanting to read some novels lately but it adds up :( im sorry if this seems obvious... i've often tried looking for pdfs of books online, but i get scared of the possibility of downloading a virus or something along those lines :( if this is something that you do not want to answer, i understand, and hope you're well 💌

hi, this isn’t bothersome, really, so don’t worry about it! honestly i only know three sites so far that have been consistently safe and virus free, and about 85% of the time i can find what book i’m looking for between them

z-library: it’s a shadow library with multiple sites, i usually just use b-ok.asia

pdfdrive.com

libgen (library genesis)

though in general you might want to install ad blockers or get security services running on your device if you haven’t already... (i can’t really rec any with confidence; i just use what other people who know more about it have recommended me)

there are literally no exceptions to the fundamental right of bodily autonomy. you do not have to martyr your body to the cause. there are no problematic reasons to have an abortion of your own volition. there are no problematic reasons not to have sex. i don’t care. no asterisks. it doesn’t matter. you don’t prove your allyship or solidarity with a cause, movement, group by sacrificing (use of) your body to it, sexually or reproductively. female morality is not a physical endurance competition.

somehow i managed not to find out what midsommar is actually about until today and all i gotta say is some of yall are weird af

[tchaikovskaya]

to be clear, im not talking about “ritual human cult sacrifice is female enpowerment” people, im talking about those of you who think that there are sizeable numbers of people who believe that in earnest lmao

[tchaikovskaya]

actually i CAN grasp the moral themes of a fictional work if a heinous thing is intentionally framed by the creator as being a positive thing, because im not 8 years old and i dont need the cast to come out at the end and perform a musical finale number called What You Saw Just Now Was Bad. its almost as if sometimes framing bad things as good serves to drive home the point the creator was making 😳

[tchaikovskaya]

all of you owe me a 5 page reflection paper on why you immediately recognize stupid tumblr things like “i will debone you like a fish” as absurdist humor but think “lol honestly killing your shitty bf in a scandinavian cult ritual is goals actually, extremely cool” is evidence of some sort of genuine deep seated pathological rage and bloodlust. double spaced 12 pt times new roman 1 inch margins, due a week from today

Sometimes it blows my mind that there are people that don’t wear glasses/contacts. Like they can literally see with no aid. Like they wake up and just be out here seeing. What a wild concept.

[bumblebeebats]

And people say stuff like ‘lol don’t you hate it when you look up in the middle of the night and see a spider on your ceiling’ like bitch (!!) i could have Nicholas II last czar of Russia hangin from my ceiling fan and i would be none the wiser

when a woman in any position does something evil: you can’t trust women, women can be evil too, dissertation on women’s duplicitous natures and the weaponizing of femininity, eric andre meme, anecdotal accounts of how a girl was mean to you when you were 7 years old and you’ve never recovered, impassioned discussion of how wrong it is that women like gone girl (2014)

when a man does something evil: it’s because he’s a cop, it’s because he’s in power, “male violence” is a useless term.

My hypothesis is that in like 10 years gen z is gonna have a big cult boom the way the boomers did in the 70s

[chazymandias]

It’s already happening on tik tok. There’s a fun new thing going round that’s citing common symptoms of depression and anxiety as signs you’re about to have your awakening and that you are actually an alien and the reason you don’t feel right is because you’re home sick for your own galaxy. So that’s fun.

[aleatoryw]

agreed, and i don't mean this in a "haha gen z is so dumb they're gonna join a tiktok cult lmao" i mean that conditions are perfect for the formation of cults right now.

high unemployment and a lot of underpaying, pointless jobs = people are looking for things to do with their life, a purpose

skyrocketing cost of living = most young people will not be able to live on their own, meaning some will end up in a group living situation with people interested in recruiting them

it's a time of great cultural and political upheaval, nothing feels real, people are desperate for meaning and human connection. cults promise that

there is a new wave of acceptance and understanding for ways of life outside the norm, which is great! ...except for when cult leaders tell you abusive and controlling practices are just their culture, their religion, their lifestyle, their beliefs, their tradition, and if you disrespect it you are the problem

social media influencers have already shown us how easy it is to build a cult of personality and attract people from anywhere in the world who are interested in the exact brand you are selling

spirtuality is having a boom, as are things like astrology, crystals, tarot, meditation, energy... those things aren't bad on their own but they are often used as tools of cult spaces

wellness. i think a lot of people are already in wellness cults. you can make people do a lot of things in the name of "wellness" and a big factor of maintaining a cult is keeping members in a state of decreased cognition..... like say, with regular fasting

i think people are just unaware in general of how cults function, especially because the satanic panic was a big stupid false alarm that convinced the youths that dungeons and dragons or doom were gateways to cults, which are scary evil child murdering, satan-worshipping gangs. people don't know how to spot them in real life.

[funkyness]

aren't yall forgetting the literal real life cult that is actively advertising on tiktok as an anticapitalist commune?

“To watch a leaf quivering in the rush of air was an exquisite joy. Up in the sky swallows swooping, swerving, flinging themselves in and out, round and round, yet always with perfect control as if elastics held them; and the flies rising and falling; and the sun spotting now this leaf, now that, in mockery, dazzling it with soft gold in pure good temper; and now and again some chime (it might be a motor horn) tinkling divinely on the grass stalks—all of this, calm and reasonable as it was, made out of ordinary things as it was, was the truth now; beauty, that was the truth now. Beauty was everywhere.”

— Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway (via whisperthatruns)
