Children. If you don't listen to nothing else I say, listen to this: Hit them. Hit them right in the mouth. You might still cry, but you'll feel good that you didn't *just* cry. It's always okay to hit a racist. Every time.

This is the best description I’ve heard for this method, I always thought it was bullshit because I never heard a description that actually explained how to do this other than “tap your head 20 times”.

I have anxiety-induced hissing, which sounds/feels different from sound-induced tinnitus (which I have also experience). Sound-based tinnitus actually sounds like you’re “hearing” something in your ears, whilst the hissing I have feels like it’s “inside my head”, if that makes sense. But this technique still helps!!

Reblogging to save a life, and also because, even if you don’t have tinnitus, this is totally worth trying if you like new sensory experiences.

Sounds like an Opus Dei talking point justifying a break with the papacy.

Pope Leo canceled his US trip becasue he did not feel safe. US conservative Catholics picked a side and it will have consequences. You don't side with rape/abuse/trafficking and then tell the Pope he is wrong about the dangers of war.

Denial about the diabolical nature of Thiel, Vought, and Miller is a choice.

Making bad choices has consequences.

On January 1, 1830, North Carolina enacted legislation making it a crime to teach any enslaved person to read or write. The law included:

• Fines for anyone (Black or white) caught teaching literacy to enslaved people.

• Specific penalties for distributing abolitionist materials, which authorities feared could spark rebellion.

This law was part of a wave of anti-literacy laws passed across the South after events like: The 1829 publication of David Walker’s Appeal — a radical antislavery text written by a free Black man and Nat Turner’s Rebellion in 1831, which further intensified white fears and led to even harsher restrictions afterward.

Teaching enslaved people to read was seen as dangerous because literacy:

• Enabled communication and organizing.

• Allowed access to abolitionist writings.

• Empowered enslaved people to challenge their legal and social conditions.

Enslavers knew literacy was power — which is why Black communities pursued it despite the risks.

El 1 de enero de 1830, Carolina del Norte decretó una ley que tipificaba como delito enseñar a leer o escribir a cualquier persona esclavizada. La ley incluía:

• Multas para cualquier persona (negra o blanca) que fuera encontrada enseñando a leer y escribir a personas esclavizadas.

• Sanciones específicas por distribuir material abolicionista, ya que las autoridades temían que esto podría causar una rebelión.

Esta ley formaba parte de una ola de leyes contra la alfabetización aprobadas en todo el sur tras acontecimientos como: la publicación en 1829 llamada La Apelación de David Walker, un texto radical contra la esclavitud escrito por un hombre negro libre y la rebelión de Nat Turner en 1831, la cual intensificó aún más los temores de las personas blancas y dio lugar a restricciones aún más severas.

Enseñar a leer a las personas esclavizadas se consideraba peligroso porque la alfabetización:

• Permitía la comunicación y la organización.

• Permitía el acceso a escritos abolicionistas.

• Empoderaba a las personas esclavizadas para que desafiaran sus condiciones legales y sociales.

Los esclavistas sabían que la alfabetización era poder, por lo que las comunidades negras la buscaban a pesar de los riesgos.
