take some time to notice your vision. see how easily you detect motion. focus on something in your peripheral (without moving your eyes to it). see how it works. look at your hands. pick something up with your fingers. appreciate how ridiculously specialized they are in fine motor skills (even if your personal motor skills are lackluster). think about how you have a body built to be an apex predator through use of tools. think about how the brain of your kind has created a digital hivemind uniting the whole world. now look back at the screen. look at the tab where you are in an argument about cartoons on tumblr. close the tab. open a new tab. google “tribute to anomalocaris”. watch the video that comes up. leave a like. subscribe even though the channel has been inactive for 8 years. you will need it in the coming times
From my experience what these people actually want is confirmation that their experiences were normal and correct and that it’s the world that has gone wrong. That’s why confronting them with the fact that actually how they were treated was literally abuse makes them so upset, they don’t want to acknowledge that they were (and often still are) victims of people and systems outside their control. They were raised with the mindset that to admit something hurt you was a weakness. They were raised to believe that suffering through hardship silently is a sign of good character and strength. They want to be praised for being so strong, not sympathised with for being so hurt, they just don’t know what to do with that massive shift in perspective
Don’t forget that it’s absolutely okay to delete your posts and accounts whenever you want and as often as you like. Your digital spaces are yours and yours only. Unfollow when you stop vibing with someone’s posts. Follow only 3 people. Follow 3,000 people. Don’t feel obligated to like posts. Turn off your DM’s and comment section if you want to. Post once every 5 months or three times a day. It’s your account. Make it enjoyable for YOU.
reddit removed two of my posts from r/crochet because I was “encouraging illegal activity.”
Which. Fair. I was explaining how easy it is to steal from Hobby Lobby.
They don’t have door sensors or barcodes, and I believe their overall security camera coverage is fake or shit.
You see, when barcodes were invented, evangelicals were convinced it was the sign of the devil (or government tracking; hard to tell). The point is, Hobby Lobby doesn’t have bar codes to this day because the devil could jump in your belly button.
And if you don’t have barcodes, you CAN’T have door sensors because the devil could jump right up a vagina, and you could get impregnated with the antichrist, and Hobby Lobby would have to make a very difficult choice about their anti-contraception views.
Oh, and they knowingly stole a fuckton of ancient artifacts, and the money they paid for those (not all stealing is just taking; sometimes money changes hands) funded fucking ISIS.
So. If you’re intellectually curious. You can steal from Hobby Lobby REALLY EASILY.
