"If you control the food, you control the people. That's ultimately the end goal." 👀

All around the world, unelected globalist bodies like the UN and WEF are waging war against farmers, in an attempt to seize control of the global food supply, under the banner of UN Agenda 2030.

Are You Prepared? 🤔

is that piece of media actually bad, or is it just not following the blueprint you projected onto it? is that work actually not good, or are you just demanding something from it that is absolutely antithetical to its themes, genre, tone, and narrative goal? is that story actually poorly written, or do you just dislike that it is not the specific things you wanted from it that it never set out to be, never was, and never is going to become? is it actually bad, or is it actually well-executed and you just dislike the story it chose to be because it isn't catering to your specific desires and expectations?

One of my favourite questions for figuring out a character’s motivations is which qualities they most fear being assigned to them. Are they afraid (consciously or unconsciously) of being seen as stupid? Ungrateful? Weak? Incompetent? Lazy? Cowardly? Intimidating? Like they actually care? etc.

It’s such a fun way to explore into who they are, why they do what they do, what they don��t do out of fear, and how they might be affected by the events of the story. And I love when characters have negative motivations—trying to avoid something (in this case, being seen a particular way) as much as they’re trying to achieve a goal.

What does the term “shadow work” mean to me?

It’s a chance to deeply analyze myself. Observe my actions, question my history, my entire being. It’s to go beyond surface level and dig to the for, the root. To follow the trail that led to the shaping of me. To be completely unhinged and honest. To know that I’m coming to terms with being me and accepting me completely. I’m eager to grow. I love to reflect and keep an open mind. I don’t want to be stuck in place or move one step forward and fall too many steps behind. I want to climb until I’m sore and grow until I can’t remember what it was like to feel so low. I want to relish in the change and overdose on the internal victory

Just going to piggyback off this...

If part of the hassle is that you find yourself thinking "well, I'd like to be a boy/girl, but I don't want it so much that I'd want to give up on what I am now" or "I don't hate my gender, so it's not worth the effort of trying to change it" or anything else like that, it's important to remember that boy/girl aren't the only options in gender identity.

Society has conflated gender and biological sex for a long time, and it's encoded into a lot of things, so its natural to find yourself thinking in those terms. However, we recognize these days that it's perfectly natural for someone not to fit neatly into those categories. It may feel weird because you're not used to it, but it's totally normal if you find that what feels most comfortable to you is being recognized as both, or neither, or as the infamous "secret third thing" (whatever that is for you).

It's also okay if your identity is one thing, but you don't feel a strong urge to change your body. You can be comfortable in your body as it is. You can feel completely ambivalent about your body and just...not care if your outside matches your inside. They're all valid ways to feel and express yourself.

It's also fine to ask questions. It's good. If you don't think you're "qualified" for one thing, try asking yourself what feels most right, instead. What would make you feel the most comfortable, if you could be seen as anything? What body would you choose for yourself if you could customize it like a videogame character? What label feels right to apply to yourself?

It's a good thing to ask questions about yourself...and it's also perfectly fine if when you get done asking questions, the answer you come up with is, "I wouldn't change a thing." There's nothing wrong with questioning and deciding you already had the right answer all along. At least when you're done, you'll be able to say that you explored all the possibilities and know the answer for sure.

So like is it normal to question if you want to be a big or a girl and thinking that the whole transitioning thing just seems like too much of a hassle and shit? Like if I could be a girl I would but the whole process just seems generally arduous and annoying.

Idk what I’m even asking.

questioning your gender is something a lot of people do, but cis people tend to come to the answer very very quickly ("am i trans?" "..." "ok no lol") if you are repeatedly questioning your gender to the point ur reaching out to trans people there is a high chance that you are trans, and could be worth looking into. also, if one of the main reasons you're on the fence is because "it seems like its too much of a hassle" ask yourself if u would transition if it wasnt an intentional hassle created by the government, and was instead very easy. if the answer is yes, then you are probably trans

just took a nap and had a dream about fantasy high junior year that felt so real, which was that at one point lou was trying to have fabian address gorgug but lou himself couldn't remember gorgug's name and instead just kept saying gundren, like he would try to talk to gorgug and just go "gundren. no, gundren. no. gundren. gundren?" and everyone else was shouting at him for not remembering gorgug's name and lou yelled "I ONLY HAVE SO MUCH SPACE IN MY BRAIN OKAY?" and then wrote GORGUG really big in his notes

Smart people are better at rationalizing their decisions, even to themselves.

I am begging everybody, fucking begging them, to slow the fuck down and fucking look things up. Right now, there are a lot of people who are making money off of creating headlines that are meant to make you mad, and it's going to get worse as we get closer to the election.

If someone tells you that there's a secret conspiracy to [do a thing you don't like] and that it's unique to Biden, you better fucking look that thing up, because chances are you're going to find that it's been happening under every administration for the last 50 years. Is that good? No! Should you want to change it? Probably! Is it a unique crime to Biden? Nope!

"Biden said [bad thing] [X] years ago." Well, this bad thing he said happens to be true, but it looks like it was 45 years ago, and he changed his stance 40 years ago. "Biden said [other bad thing] [Y] years ago." What's the source on that? So there's one person who says he said it? And nobody else who was there has corroborated that account? Who posted the story?

These are all random examples of things I've seen over the last couple of weeks, with the details slightly changed from the Tumblr posts and news articles I've seen, because the point isn't the details of the particular story, so I don't want to get bogged down in particulars that don't matter to the point I'm making.

The point of this post isn't the specific things I'm referencing but the fact that in each of these cases, the reality was not what was initially presented. Either the reality was wildly different, or this story can't be corroborated and was told by someone with a clear and very well-known agenda of their own, which means that at the very least, the story should be treated with extreme suspicion.

And on that note, please don't believe that because you're a leftist that you can't be radicalized in the same way that right-wingers are. You aren't immune to propaganda either. I'm not saying you have to like, or should like, any particular politician or political entity. I am saying, however, that you should view a lot of the news with a gimlet eye, and that goes double for anything that makes you real fucking mad.

You need - need - to stop and read the whole article and ask yourself if you can verify the claims and who benefits from this making you mad.

Please. For the sake of the people around you who have to patiently explain to you that you've gotten fucking bamboozled again by propaganda if for no other reason. We're all very tired of you thinking that leftists can't be propagandized.
