So happy people care enough about Daisy to ask <3

(I know this was just tags but I’m taking it as an excuse to talk about her)

@spaloonbabooguuscooties, @cassettess, and I weave intricate webs which scarcely see the light of day and I am rabid like a dog to show them. This is all like suuuper informal but <3

(Putting it all under a read more because it’s very long and I am very bad at explaining things)

Daisy herself has a lot of shit! Going on! <3 As one might imagine of a very psychically and mentally unstable individual <3! Born a psychic by the name of ‘Deborah Sun Day,’ she dropped out of college at 19 and changed her name to ‘Daisy Sunny Daze’ (not legally) in order to pursue the fad 60s dream of ‘like, saving the world with the power of love, man <3’ She was restless with little direction, so when the ‘Summer of Love’ came around and so many others were doing to same, it gave her some kind of purpose to ‘join the cause.’

She ran off to some commune up in the mountains, one which was formed in the specific place it was due to the ‘enhanced spiritual connection’ and ‘magnetic attraction’ so many felt in the area. This was, in reality, an undiscovered deposit of Psilerium. As an almost mythical substance to so many non-psychics, when they eventually found traces of the stone, no one really knew what it was. However, the effects were still felt. Hallucinations and that same ‘magnetic attraction’ were common. But, as most of the stones found were rather small, the effects never became much of an issue. The people in the commune began to make jewelry of the stuff and used them in meditations and the like (but I can go into more detail later).

Despite the obvious ‘enhanced spiritual nature’ of the area, the ‘Summer of Love’ and the hippie movement as a whole began to fade eventually.

When people started leaving in droves once the 70s came around, that ‘purpose’ Daisy had felt (far diminished at this point but she has to cling to something. She really doesn’t have that much going for her otherwise.) was being threatened. She, in a desperate plea (as well as not exactly being fully sound of mind in her haze of psilerium and psychedelics), began to hypnotize others into staying.

That’s the main gist of Daisy herself! <3 She kinda becomes the ‘leader’ of the commune once…everyone else there is pretty much under her hypnotic control due to the vague ambient hypnosis effects she develops with the overuse of her abilities and overexposure to psilerium. <3. Eventually she starts hypnotizing randoms into staying as well, anyone she can convince to come visit in the few trips to town she makes, but! I can!!!!! Go into more detail about that later <3.

Apparently there’s a website called Public Square where conservatives register their businesses to identify themselves as “anti-woke” so other conservatives can find them. I just thought I would share in case anyone wanted to put their zip code in and learn which local businesses to avoid.

It is insane to me that timestamps are optional on this webbed site. A major context clue is just opt in so I’ll reblog something from four years ago and people think it’s happening right just now like babe. Enable your timestamps. Why are you stumbling through the world with one eye closed?

white americans when you tell them that the idea of climate change as an impending disaster is a reductive first world perspective because it’s a tangible reality for many in the global south already:

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.

For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.

I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.

Every time I see an author promoting their debut Greek mythology retelling on twitter I mourn the loss of like. To put in ineloquently. Just using these stories as inspiration for your own. Your story does not need to force itself to fit the shape of Orpheus and Eurydice it’s fine you can just allude to their story!! You can use their themes!! Nobody is going to arrest you for being allegorical instead of literal!! I might eat them alive at this point. It’s the only way.

I think Gastronauts on Dropout is the cooking show that has made me truly appreciate the skill of professional chefs more than any other cooking show.

Like I don't know if it's because the challenges are so crazy or the fact that the judges don't have any professional input whatsoever (they're all comedians), but the combination of how utterly stoked the judges are to be eating this food and how creative the chefs get to be really works to make you marvel at just how skilled a professional chef has to be.

Other cooking shows always have a level-voiced narrator listing out shit like,

"Rebecca is doing a praline-mint ganache with a Twiffly Street stir-up, combined with a gestelle Santa Maria sponge technique."

And it's fun to pretend like, 'Ah, yes. Of course! A classic of the genre! She'd be a fool not to!' as though I know anything about cooking or baking.

But on Gastronauts, it's a bunch of comedians who would really graciously appreciate some fancy food, watching chefs cook and going, like,

"What is that? What is he doing?? It's like- like a swishy thing! Like a fancy swishy thing!!"

"OH MY GOD YES, HE'S USING ONIONS."

"Ooo! Crunchies!??"

And then the chefs get to come out and formally present their food, which makes them look very smart. And these actors who generally can't afford Michelin star cuisine are just :DDDD!

And it's like, oh yeah. This is about my level, yes. This conveys how normal people who don't eat good food for a living would actually react. And it's super chill. It's good vibes, that show. 👌
