do you think humanity is connected?

Back in the 1970s, a woman from a Native American tribe wrote a letter to my Oma to ask about her life and requested mementos from Japan in exchange for mementos from her tribe and she sent photos of herself and of her way of life, she sent feathers and beaded accessories, a flute she’d carved, she sent turquoise jewellery, she sent a tape with birdsong and with the music she knew how to play, and a bouquet of different pressed flowers. She also sent a dress and shoes for my Oma to wear and a few drawings of how to get done up and dressed in the clothes she’d sent.

As my Oma tells it, she received the package, saw the things, and thought to herself “this woman has sent me her finest” so she sent back a full kimono and all of our accessories, pearls from the sea, a shamisen, crafts that she had made, jars of the makeup we’d use, dried fish, lacquer, a perfume, pressed cherry blossoms, photos of the mountains, and photographs and mementos of Japan. She drew a diagram of how to get done up, took a photo of herself wearing the things that the woman had sent her, wrote “you and I are not too dissimilar!” on the back of the photo, and sent it off. She received a reply with another photo of the woman in our kimono with “You’re right! You and I are very similar!” written on the back of the photograph.

Stop listening to folk punk

wish the tma fandom was just a bit more fascinated by the fact that making an avatar act counter to its entity is something that can kill them.

we only have two examples of this (or 2.5, if you count the hunt's shenanigans, but the hunt functions differently from the other entities. more on that later). but they consume my mind and I desperately need more.

the fact that peter lukas straight up dies when jon tries to get more information out of him. and the fact that helen can only become killable within her domain when she lies..

iirc gertrude did something similar, by disrupting some rituals by introducing the respective entities' antitheses to them.

what other ways can this be applied? idk guys I think we should start locking dark avatars in bright rooms and putting slaughter avatars in therapy. just to see what happens.

When I was about to go to college my dad, who is a thoracic surgeon specialized in lung cancer, sat me down and told me I could be a stoner, but absolutely not a cigarette smoker

His logic was:

  • He’s operated on hundreds of cig smokers but no stoners
  • The average stoner doesn’t smoke nearly as many joints as a cig smoker smokes cigarettes. Many cig smokers will smoke 10+ cigs a day but the average stoner doesn’t smoke that many joints
  • Joints don’t have as many carcinogens
  • It is generally harder to quit nicotine than weed
  • People can have medicinal cannabis but no one has medicinal cigarettes
  • He was a stoner in med school and turned out fine but some of his cig smoking classmates are already dead

@buticaaba you are absolutely correct! My dad hates vapes. He says the lungs of cig smokers look black and kind of like asphalt, and that the lungs of vape smokers retain their pink color but are covered in burn like blisters. He participated in a double lung transplant on a 20 year old vape smoker and has done multiple drainings of vape smoker lungs that filled with fluids because they’re absolutely full of blisters.

When you smoke cigs you’re clogging your lungs with tar and other nasty stuff, but when you hit a vape you’re quite literally giving your lungs chemical burns.

me looking at any potential conflict: well if I sacrificed my needs, wants, my well being, my energy, time, happiness, freedom, and some of my human rights, this conflict is completely avoidable and thus it is my only acceptable course of action :)

you guys gotta stop deactivating your blogs cause you're making it harder for me to go back in a reblog chain to remove the annoying additions

I reblogged this specifically for the prev tag because it made me feel like I was having a stroke

honestly the ancient greek graffiti in egyptian tomb KV9 may be my favorite inscriptions ever if only because "i didn't like anything except the sarcophagus" sounds exactly like something i'd hear someone say in a museum in the modern day

literally why is gerrymandering legal. why is america the stupid idiot country.

This could be counterproductive if people actually vote. Everywhere. We can blame the system and politicians all we want but if people don’t get off their ass to vote correctly or just vote in general that would probably solve a good chunk of our problems.

enthralled at the interpretation of the world you have. the best way to vote out a system that exists to suppress votes and bottleneck specific populations from being heard is to vote harder. tell me more.

There's a certain kind of democrat whose whole politics is basically "if the entire population just acted in a way they've never acted before on a level that borders on the miraculous, we could win without changing anything else about how democrats govern or campaign!" and they think that's not only a useful insight, but a good justification for rejecting literally any alteration of their ideology, their strategy, or even suggestions that (on the occasions they have power) they alter the rigged system that requires such miracles in the first place.
