Unless you are true to yourself, you will always be false to others.

Does anyone have recommendations for nuanced books/articles about collectivist vs. individualist cultures? I believe there is something to the idea, but a lot of what I’ve seen about it seems reductive, in a way that borders on being racist. So I’m curious to see what sophisticated analysis is out there.

Hemmerechts ziet verband tussen natuur en Amerikaanse identiteit

Schrijfster Kristien Hemmerechts (1955, Brussel) was in de Verenigde Staten en bewonderde de natuur. Het viel haar op dat die bevreemdend werkt. De natuur in de USA doet denken aan Disneyland: schoon, opgeruimd, gecontroleerd. Maar er is meer: Geiser Old Faithful in het Yellowstone National Park; bron beeld: pinterest.com Amerika heeft reservaten en National Parks. Dor, onvruchtbaar,…

Betabetabeta

Hi!! So I’m looking for a beta for my works on AO3.

There’s two projects I have in mind that I could need some help with, one that I’m currently actively writing and uploading (’They say, if you’re in a hole, stop digging.’) and one that is in the works in the background and that I desperately need help and input with whenever I’m not writing ‘They say’ lol.

I have no preferences at all, but it would be great if you had an interest in Christian/Toto as a pairing and a general interest in F1. (Wheel knowledge would be great too because I have none but that’s not a must because... I have none either lmao).

If you’re interested you are very welcome to message me on here and maybe I could read some of your own writing if you have something that I could look at. Not a must though. I’m genuinely just happy to find someone who’s passionate about this pairing, who can proofread my chapters, and who is willing to kick my arse so I actually finish writing some of my projects lmao.

Right. Please let me know if you’re interested!!!! I’d love to hear from you!!

Big love <3333 Ell.

Thank you, Practical Existentialism, for talking in much more comprehensible terms about what I tried to explain to the uncomprehending puffer known as Babycuck on at least a dozen occasions.

If Babycuck were an existentialist -- which offers the individual almost unlimited options in life -- I wouldn't have any problem with them. Also, I'm not saying they can't run with the crowd, but if they were going to, there would be reasons to laugh at them for acting like they're an alternative or liberating force, and reasons to laugh at them for playing the victim about their status quo status.

If they wish to admit they love captivity and the herd -- moo moo moo moo moo moo -- they have every claim to all the Petersonian Western Individualism they would ever wish for in my book, because at least that way they'd finally be being honest with themselves and others.

the whole guilt-tripping language in posts about important topics paired with how I'm still getting bitches in my notes talking about why it's actually good to tell "bad" people to kill themselves continues to prove to me that a lot of people have absolutely no concept of social justice or activism outside of assuming the worst of and then viciously attacking strangers on the internet

#the worst part too is this is just the logical conclusion of the hyper-individualistic society #that thrives on isolating us from each other and our communities #anyway pls get out and go volunteer to clean up litter or at the soup kitchen or something #y'all need to see that your actions can have both good and bad real world consequences #and also interact with people who share your values but come from different walks of life #and also how to organize with people you don't always 100% agree with #so yeah hang out at the farmer's market or smthn y'all really need to connect with your communities

Jon Bon Jovi: Video: It's My Life: Living Life Your Way as an Individual

Source:The Daily Journal I’m not a big Jon Bon Jovi fan, but one song of his that I’m a big fan of is It’s My Life. Because that song perfectly describes how I look at life. It’s My Life, that tells me that I have to live it and I better be in charged of it. And not let others live my life for me, meaning being in charged of it. Because I’m the one that’s going to have to deal with the…

Prim's name wasn't the only one in the reaping bowl because the entire point of Prim being chosen is to show that life in Panem is random and cruel. These kids truly are selected and die for nothing, based on nothing, most of the time. There is often no grand cosmic plan or 4D chess conspiracy at play in awful circumstances unfolding, just systems of oppression working as they were designed. And you can do everything right to the letter - be the youngest eligible tribute from an unknown family whose name is only in the bowl once, not take out any tesserae - but it still won't save you.

#erin is talking #the hunger games #primrose everdeen #d12 and the everdeens themselves are operating in an individualist 'hope and pray they choose another kid' mentality #and an 'if you do everything right you'll be safe' mentality #but there is no 'safe' from people who want you dead. that's the point. any 'safety' prim had was ALWAYS an illusion

I feel like both internet liberals and leftists have a tendency to reverse-Great Man Theory Ronald Reagan at the expense of any insight into the history of his policies or the conservative movement that led up to him.

#YOU CAN’T JUST BLAME EVERYTHING ON HIM WITHOUT TACITLY ABSOLVING COUNTLESS OTHER MONSTERS AND THE WHOLE FUCKING SYSTEM OF ITS GUILT. #IT’S DEEPLY INDIVIDUALISTIC AND ARGUABLY ANTIHISTORICAL. #Anyway this is because I saw a post that blamed him for the US backing brutal regimes in the global south under the guise of anticommunism. #When that famously started back in the post-WWII era and has its roots in Monroe Doctrine ideology. #FYI I fucking hate him but he’s a part of a larger picture. #(Anyway I study American politics during the Cold War with a focus on the rise of the far right.) #original content #100 #500 #1k

You deserve what you tolerate :)

the natural precondition of the modern individualist is just that - a distaste for the traditions on which the nation they reside in is built upon, and a selfish idea that "modernity" means turning your back on your nation because "nationalism is an antiquated idea".

The modern individualist cares only about themselves and whoever panders to their bodily desires.

They don't care about the nation they trod on and write on paper as 'home'; they want to destroy the customs and traditions of their people because they believe it's the natural "next step" of progress; they look at nationalists and patriots and conservatives and traditionalists, and children thereof, with the inner intent to besmirch and hopefully uproot.

Would you let your children play around a festering corpse, dead from disease? No? Wisely you do not tolerate to have such things around the future generation of your beloved motherland.

Then why do you tolerate liberals? The 'progressive individualist'? The whoremongering lgbt community who thought it nice and acceptable to have drag queens read stories to children?

The parasites of any nation. You deserve what you tolerate; either you purge your State or you let it die by the hands of these whoremongers for a last-ditch "told you so."

Hello, Void

[stuff a reader should know about me] I have had a few blogs but I have never included myself in them. An attorney I briefly worked for encouraged me to study puzzles in college if I wanted to take the LSAT one day. So I chose computer science as my science requirement, and spent college learning that I know little and fall short. It became clear to me then that law school was not in my future and maybe writing wasn’t either. It takes courage to write and I had run out of that.

[how I got here] A history professor told me that I should consider becoming a music writer or music critic. I was shocked; I was failing his class and had only done a piece on a performance for extra credit. But it mattered a great deal to me that he shared that and I still wonder today why I’m not doing that. I focused on finishing my degree, becoming a developer on a software team, going to grad school. And all of those things have happened. Why couldn’t I have a blog?

[the “not like other girls” syndrome] I once joked to a friend in college that too many girls were taking our classes and thus the bathroom was crowded. She told me she knew I wasn’t really joking. I wanted to be “the girl” in the computer science hall. In my writing classes, I was praised for my narration, my pacing, the emotion I could evoke. But when I read what my peers wrote, I felt so… normal. I had wanted to fit in with everyone else my whole life but to realize that I actually did fit in, that I wasn’t a prodigious writer or some demigod chosen one, crushed me.

[making a space for me so that others might make some, too] That means that my advice is applicable and my questions, doubts, solutions can resonate. When I was little I thought to have an impact I had to be unique or special to be important to my community. I’ve found that my sameness is what makes my seat at the table powerful.

Whenever people who are entrenched in diet culture talk about how terrible chemicals are, I just want to whip out this:

#diet culture #diet culture tw #described images #image description in alt #'it's got CHEMICALS in it' and so do you! and me too! IT'S ALL CHEMICALS ALL THE WAY DOWN #instead of running from this world we must learn to embrace it #i'm not particularly angry at people who say this because it makes me think that they're incredibly invested in diet culture... #...i just don't want the whole 'food = bad' or 'bodies = bad' to go unchallenged... #...part of the reason why diet culture seems just as prevalent now (if not moreso) is partially because it isn't really... #...challenged or questioned without provocation. it's just assumed to be correct because it makes you 'feel in control' #when chemicals are bad you can control what chemicals you consume. it's individualistic and places the blame onto you for 'being good' #it places responsibility onto the person in such a way that it becomes impossible to fulfill #it isn't that i'm upset that people want to treat their bodies in a way they think is responsible... #...moreso that the *way* they go about it ensures that they're stuck in a cycle of self-blame and even self-hatred #because the METHOD is ineffective. not the desire to treat your body well #also the state of ohio looks stupid and i do Not respect it #it looks like a ball that is simultaneously deflated and over-inflated #also their state flag looks silly to me #it looks like the person who was making it fell asleep making it #i'm just clowning on ohio at this point. have never been to ohio but. are you guys okay
