That sounds scary. I wonder why there are none as the result of their religion. Also do these Tibetan Bhuddhists from Tibet… like the West’s weird orientilization of them?

Do you mean the Tibetan Autonomous Region is currently not the same as being Tibet? I’m still learning how autonomous regions work.

Idk if it’s different guys or the same guys. They all wear masks, hats, and unmarked clothing at my place. If I saw them at another building I wouldn’t necessarily recognize them.

What does the ICC and the ICJ stand for in this case?

No idea about the other buildings, but the gardeners at my apartment do that. I don’t blame the gardeners, I blame the people who won’t pay them a complete paycheck for doing a complete job unless they kill time with extra pointless leafblowing.

Edit: In this case, they should be paid for doing a full job even if they finish early.

I feel far more terrible for the gardeners because they’re breathing gasoline fumes and losing their hearing the whole time. They’re in the baking sun too. This is not the way to treat workers. Gardening is hard enough without making it harder.

My apartment manager lives in my building and they may be annoyed too. The apartment next door seems to have a live-in apt manager too. Maybe they will be willing to listen to a suggestion about scheduling their gardeners on the same day. Maybe even at the same time.

I know not to call black people names of foods, like chocolate toffee caramel etc… I think it can be positive if someone calls their own skin that, but it seems wrong somehow if anyone else does it. I feel it’s exoticizing because youre reducing them to their skin color. Whereas calling your own skin a shade seems fine.

Somehow saying “black” feels okay enough, but not quite, and I don’t know exactly why.

In the past, up the year I graduated highschool, I’d say “African American” and multiple people awkwardly looked at me and told me “just say black.” So I did to avoid social awkwardness. I was later told some people don’t like being called “black” and to say African American, so now saying “black” to describe race and culture feels strange again. It seems like not everyone wants to reclaim the word “black.” I’m not sure what to do about my phrasing here. Do I change how I refer to African Americans and their culture on a person by person basis?

I basically asked a question about why racism seems to always correlate race fetisism, and I hope some of you go answer it. Thanks. I barely understand why this happens. My people have some socialist history so you can guess shit has gotten scary for me in the past on the US’s dating scene. (Don’t worry too much, I’m lucky to be with a safe boyfriend nowadays.)

You must be very gentle to be handling kittens. Well done.

Not necessarily beyond rational calculation as it says. I’ve come to realize I like both people and animals because there’s a similar piece of me that relates to certain qualities of theirs. So it helps me be brave and do things at home. It’s me doing performance art at home to get things done and navigate my anxiety that has me avoid things I need to get done.

If I’m afraid of showering, now I’m a big blue whale that dives into the bath. If I’m at the hospital and I need to use a rail, I’m a bird that perches on rails with my hands, ignoring risk of covid until I’m home and can wash my hands. (I used to sanitize my hands too much.) If I’m on the floor at home, I can choose to put my dirty hair on a pile of clean laundry because I’m a cat and this is my new bed.

It just makes my life easier. I’m navigating control issues. I can really get into it at home. And I hope I get even more into it. I have dreams where I’m comparing my life to lives of animals too.

If you respect, like, and enjoy a person or animal, I think its likely you have the same trait within you. Expressed or not.

Adding indigenous culture in my question was to be inclusive to those who really are indigenous.

I love an animal that has jokes. I hope you can find more ways to nurture that part of yourself that loves animals. Like walking shelter dogs and stuff.

I do not connect mine with an Indigenous culture. I only say that in case someone else has genuine connections with theirs.

Not always. For me it’s performance art that I do in my private time to handle life at home better. Its not to feel special, its to draw bravery to do things as an anxious person highly avoidant of mamy activities.

I love seeing a badass, graceful, reaslistic animal costume so I am a furry in that way.

Genuinely asking, what’s the harm in having both animal spirits and being a furry? Btw, I do not connect mine with an Indigenous culture, but I’ve met an Indigenous person who has. That’s what made me think to add that last sentence to my question in the title.

What about chakras? I thought that was Indian, so someone please potentially de-orientalise my understanding of chakras. I did notice them tattooed on the arm of someone indigenous to America. This is why I wish more people would be open about their complaints of appropriated pieces of their culture. She told me about her tattoos but never got to the fact that chakras are her culture’s.

Awww fluffy crab!? Hello boiyo

Elliot Page has the vibe of a humble hottie. I’ve only seen him play a male role in the show Umbrella Academy. He’s who I most look forward to seeing in Odyssey. People can complain all they want about smile lines, but he’s got sexy smile lines.

Awooga. I wonder if seeing him in armor with a sword will get me into romantasy stories.

After watching Dorian Electra’s(they/them) music video “Career Boy” made me really realize I’m genderfluid and not simply desiring to do drag -and that having a dick looks like a sweet deal, but I also like the vag and body I was born with- idk maybe starting from around 2022 to now?

I don’t want an operation btw, I would like the big bang to restart and the universal calculations to result in me being born with a fully functioning dick along with my vag that I already like perfectly fine. I get sad about not being intersex at times, but I don’t make as big of a deal about that either in my head. No dick oh well, I guess.

Some moments I feel like being trans is one of the most normal things. Are you ever so satisfied with your gender and sex that you remember you’re trans and think “So what if I’m trans?” You aren’t defensive or dismissive about others judgements, and you aren’t judging it either. It just is. The fact that your trans simply exists and no one in the moment is making a single deal about it.

Because I only sometimes feel like that, I occasionally wonder if I have internalized brainworms about the concept of being trans that make me feel dysphoric at other times.

I mostly keep the fact that I’m trans a secret among close friends because the less of a deal is made about it the more at peace I feel with my gender.

This is not a suggestion for how you guys should live. It’s just how I personally exist.

I think so too, but I’m practicing not overexplaining.

Whew. Machines can be a hassle. I’m happy you can stay sleeping without one.

I have none in walking distance and I don’t want to produce more fumes than the trees absorb via car. I think the closest to having them planted as I can get is giving them away as ornamental plants, with the slightest chance of them producing sweet fruit in 4+ years.
