had a dream that teenagers on TikTok started holding seances to make contact with Winston Churchill’s ghost and insult him

“Churchilling” was a funny trend for a little while, but then people figured out that any dead historical figure could be contacted and harassed from beyond the grave in this fashion, which was also a funny trend until it got coopted into bad social justice rhetoric and anytime a living person got criticized they would counter with “well why are you canceling ME when you could be cancelling any of THESE people, who were REALLY bad and never redeemed themselves” and would then post a list of links to Wikipedia articles about dead dictators and serial killers and colonists for people to direct their ire and energy at. and if you expressed your disapproval at this fixation on the dead, people would accuse you of “acquitting the dead” instead of holding them accountable through mean seances.

in the cold light of day this dream is no longer funny but in fact far too real for comfort

people don't go down to the tavern and engage in raucous festivities with pints of ale for all on rainy days until the sun crests the horizon of a world washed clean by the rain and the dew

And this is because it would be really shit of them to open up your entire brain into hysterical Upset and then boot you out without helping you find equilibrium, but there is probably someone right after you. Just to fully articulate.

star-anise

Yeah exactly. When I do therapy I always keep an eye on the clock so I know when I have enough time to keep opening up big issues, vs. when I have to work on getting them back to stable so they don’t leave my office and walk straight into a wall.

Food Fun Facts for dad types!!!

•Adding butter or cheese or salt or whatever to your veggies so that you like them doesn’t change the nutritional content you get from said veggies.

•Additional calories eaten don’t negate the healthy benefits of food. And, stay with me here, low calorie foods are not more morally pure than high calorie foods.

•If making a food more palatable by adding butter (or whatever) is the make-or-break for someone to actually eat the vegetable, then the Brussel sprouts with butter are FUCKING HEALTHIER for you than the Brussel sprouts you don’t eat. A salad with ranch dressing is healthier for you than the dry greens you don’t eat. A sandwich with cheese and mayo is more healthy than the plain sandwich you don’t eat. The strawberry with whipped cream is more healthy than the strawberry you don’t eat.

•We actually don’t have to buy the bullshit that food that makes us happy or tastes good is less healthy.

Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble; your body will absorb them better if the foods you get them from are fatty. Dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach and Brussels sprouts, are really good sources of vitamins A and K.

Hm, I wonder how one turns dark green leafy vegetables into fatty foods.

Might it have something to do with butter, cheese, or salad dressing?

not to be all “think of the children” but the fact that companies can openly admit to using methods to intentionally form addictions in children and we’re not killing their ceos in the streets yet is astounding

irlwakko

when I say “kids now don’t know how to disconnect” or “kids don’t know how to be bored anymore” i don’t mean “kids should sit in a white room in a solitary chair eating saltines and never touch technology” i mean “kids are losing the essential ability to imagine and create their own play because they have a constant 24/7 stream of more overstimulating material than they could ever watch at their fingertips, and when this stimulation is removed they literally don’t know what to do with themselves”

when I say “kids are addicted to video games” I don’t mean “ah these darn kids and their dag-blasted Ataris” I mean “video games are being purposefully designed to squeeze as much money/ad engagement out of the individual consumer as possible and mechanisms like lootboxes and season passes are intentionally engineered to create addiction”

irlwakko

i know it’s purely anecdotal but every time i think about that toddler who told his dad “don’t forget to like and subscribe” at bedtime because he thought it was how you said goodbye to people i feel sick

Not to sound like a boomer but playing in mud, using sticks for swords and guns, and gathering plants for potions are all vital to childhood

haunted dolls are cool not scary like bro there's a friend in there

I don't have a haunted doll, but my house has been very haunted ever since I was little. So when I hear a cabinet open I'm just desensitized and I'm like "Please close that, thank you" And sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, and when they don't I'm just casually like "rude". Or when something moves or disappears, I'm like " Don't be touching my belongings please I worked for those, you didn't. I need that thing." And I've had friends witness cups just move across my counter or doors and cabinets open and close and they're astounded when I casually and calmly say "Please close that" Or "Don't you be touching stuff over there" Unfazed and they're always terrified and like "wtf" And my answer is always "They're just people, they were alive once, they know what's up, chill"

You heard them, be nice to the ghosts

lifeafterpsychiatry

You gotta learn when to take a step back and say "this isn't actually about you, it's a reaction caused by something or someone in my past which you accidentally triggered" or you'll keep projecting whatever bullshit happened in your past onto new people who had nothing to do with the trauma in question.

No longer must the citizens of Toronto fear sharp- dressed men in frock coats dubiously claiming to be members of the Prussian nobility, no doubt the work of some uncouth confidence man or somesuch chicanery.
