I CCAN'T BREATHE
Surviving Halloween with Psychosis
- The picture test: If you can’t tell if something is a hallucination or not, take a photo! If it shows up in the picture then you have a keepsake of that crazy creepy Halloween decoration. If not it’s a hallucination (or a vampire. No, i’m kidding it’s a hallucination.)
- Is some kid in mask causing paranoia? Ask them where they got their costume. Did they make it? How did they get the idea? Focusing on the person inside of the costume will help you remember that it’s just a person!
- Avoid haunted houses, haunted hayrides, ect. Actors will not stop scaring unless it’s an emergency, and I’ve yet to find a place that teaches actors how to deal with anything other than physical injuries. (I once met a haunted house actor who said causing a panic attack meant he was “doing his job right.”)
- There’s no shame in asking friends and relatives to avoid sending jump scare videos or anything else that could cause paranoia.
- (from freeasthepaperburns) Boggart it! If something is making you upset, make it silly. dance with the shadows, sing to the creepies, I bet if make a fish face at the scary face it’ll be a little less scary. I know this is harder than it sounds, but I’ve gotten better at it over the time, and find it helps!
Stay safe babes!

i don't knwo that it like, needs to result in a terminology change, but it's pretty fucked up when you think about how the skimpy, two-piece bathing suit got the name "bikini" because the United States government decided to perform one of the most destructive acts of environmental racism in history there.
the knee jerk framing here is to say "Imagine if we called it a Twinner for the twin towers" but then i realized that americans would buy the fuck out of that shit because we're so fucking burned out that everything tragic is hilarious.
Clothing designer Louis Réard introduced his new, smaller design in July. He named the swimsuit after the Bikini Atoll, where the first public test of a nuclear bomb had taken place four days before.
What the fuck
After the Second World War, the atoll was chosen by the United States as a nuclear weapon testing site. All 167 of the atoll's inhabitants were forcibly relocated in 1946 to Rongerik, a small island east of Bikini Atoll with inadequate resources to support the population. The islanders began experiencing starvation by early 1948, and they were moved again, this time to Kwajalein Atoll. The United States used the islands and lagoon as the site of 23 nuclear tests until 1958.
In 1970, about 200 residents were returned to their home island by the U.S. government. But scientists found dangerously high levels of strontium-90 in well water in May 1978 and the residents' bodies were carrying abnormally high concentrations of caesium-137. They were evacuated again in 1980. The atoll is occasionally visited today by divers and a few scientists, and is occupied by a handful of caretakers.
WHAT THE FUCK
Love a world where a guy sees the US fucking nuke some islands they stole from the native population (that got colonialized like three times) and says "yeah I want to name my clothes after that" >.>
Yeah the treatment of the Marshall Islanders by the US Gov’t is one of the unsung crimes against humanity of the 20th century.
If you want to get angry again, here’s the wiki article on the biggest nuclear disaster you’ve never heard of.
This post is the gift (?) that keeps ongoing giving bc not a day goes by that I don’t get at least one rb in my notes with someone who’s never heard this before.
It’s almost like the modern social order and sense of what’s “normal” is extremely recent and built on the bones of uncounted people crushed under the boot of empire!
I have mixed thoughts on sex work. I love sex, but I hate work!
“Yeah, we hate seeing you work too!”
how does this post keep getting better
get literally sniffed loser
Actually considering the wide range and overlap of pelvic structures of all sexes, it’s more likely they will identify your gender based on your belongings, burial, and culture! So basically, darling, serve cunt hard enough and the archeologists will see that cunt, too ❤️
never getting over “the archeologists will see that cunt”
Jean Baudrillard would have loved this.
