Thin privilege is when you don't have to use five times the normal amount of sources in order to convince others we deserve to be treated like human beings.

Recently I've been watching more fat positive video essays and I just can't help but notice that thin people can just link to a random book or report so outdated and completely debunked to support their fatphobic point of views, or god forbid fuck all sources and just say the same talking point all over again.

Fat positive video essayists have to link a bible of qualified sources in their video description only to receive a significantly worse like/dislike ratio than other similar videos and fatphobic comments being on top. We have to do significantly more research, more time input, yet our effort only seems to cling on either people who are already accepting us, or in lucky cases people who aren't well-informed enough about the oppression of fat people.

i like how hydrogen bomb vs. coughing baby is used as a reaction to lopsided fights because i actually thought the joke was that the two were evenly matched. i thought coughing babies really could hold their own here

as an american i literally love to eat hamburger drink huge beverage and purchase rock and roll disk. it's all true...

here's a quick tip for life: if you hate someone and you have a choice in the matter, keep their name out of your mouth and the reasons you hate them out of your head. keep your head on a swivel around people who habitually break this guideline because they're just as capable of obsessive negativity about you

genuinely "living rent-free in your head" is a curse. obessing yourself with people you find odious who don't have the actual power to harm you does nothing good for your life. there is immense strength in walking the fuck away and treating someone as dead to you, not half-living in their shadow.

"let women be mean" you guys cant even handle a female character being friends with the two male main characters

"let women be mean" you guys cant even handle when a 12 year old female character is slightly rude and has a bit of an attitude

Hey, baby witches, hatchling mages, and second instar sorcerers...

If you see somebody on the Internet claiming they're setting up some kind of spiritual/magical academy, or looking for worthy pupils to teach, or - and especially - looking for a worthy pupil to teach, you need to be very wary.

Literally anybody can claim that they have all kinds of deep, true spiritual knowledge. Literally anybody can scrounge up a few mystical books and learn just enough to make it seem like they know a lot to someone new to magic and mysticism. Anybody can whip up some conspiracy theory to explain why the stuff they just pulled out of their bum three minutes ago isn't accepted by academic scholars and mainstream religion.

(And speaking of conspiracy theories, most conspiracy theories you're going to run into are going to be some variant on The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion and/or blood libel and early modern witch panic. Some conspiracy theorists swap out "Jews" for "the Catholic Church" or something, but it's no less bullshit because the source is the same.)

It's always worth asking yourself, "How do I know they aren't lying to me?" And don't just go with "I can just sense they're telling the truth" because it really does not work that way. What you might be "sensing" is their conviction in their own bullshit. Or they might be a really good liar. Or they might be saying stuff that feels true because it seems to confirm your own biases.

Also, if you see somebody telling you that reaching your highest magical potential means doing some kind of sex magic, or offering to teach sex magic to beginners, run. This person is a sexual predator.

I recommend ESOTERICA and Angela's Symposium to start getting a grounded view of religious and spiritual history, which will make it much less likely you'll fall for a scam.

Also, remember that at the end of the day, vital spiritual or magical knowledge is not locked away with any individual person or even group. The main thing that any specific person or group has is their own take on things, which generally as subjective as anybody else's.

Just because information is commonly available doesn't mean it's automatically bad or wrong. Like yeah, you do need to be critical about what you read in books or on the Internet, but you need to be just as critical with an actual human being claiming to have the really deep secrets.

Some deep dark part of my brain that never forgot the first night vale episode: 👀🕐🚌🌧🌧🕐🕐🚌🌧

wish i could hold every people pleaser’s hand and & tell them it’s fine. it’s fine to prioritize ur feelings over somebody else’s for once. it is fine and it does not make u this irredeemably bad person. i swear

if there’s anyone who could say this it’s me. i used to feel so shitty about everything and everyone. i used to go down rabbit holes of suffering & lament everybody’s problems & pretty much fight the urge to burst into tears at any person who had unfairly gotten the shorter end of the stick. i was literally a sponge absorbing every emotion on the spectrum & my heart was on the edge of bursting w feelings that weren’t mine. i was there. & i had to deal w a lot of people stepping all over my needs as a result. but there is no point to doing this to urself bc you can’t give anyone ANYTHING if you’re constantly bogged down trying to be there for every single person except urself

it’s completely valid to want to help people. beautiful even. but u just have to pour into ur own cup first. prioritize yourself now so you can prioritize other people later. that is the way

zoomers i am going to give you some fathrly advice: really plucked brows are coming back. dont do it. you cn permanently fuck them up and in 5 yrs when its not on trend you will look like shit. a groomed natural brow works in every era of fashion theres lots of ways to comb and style brows to trend without mangling them. im just saying this as someone who saw what happened to 80s moms who went crazy wth the tweezers

they just eyebrows u won’t die shave them off zoomers pluck them all out and then get tattooed eyebrows it doesn’t matter . u won’t look like shit if u don’t have eyebrows op is a hater

this is the devil ^ this is the devil speaking. many will come to you with honey in their mouths and comforting words but they whisper falsehoods. do not be deceived for he is the father of lies. you have been told he would come in the form of man and he is already here among us.

“the worst they could say is no” true but while they are saying it they very well could hit me with force lightning like palpatine. From star war
