Once, there was a Japanese monk who had a little personal superstition.
Every time he travelled to a new location, heβd find some wood that grew there and make it into a staff to defend himself from any bandits or ne'er-do-wells who attacked him.
He was convinced that the staff, being more in tune with his surroundings, would serve him better in a fight. One day, he explained this to a scholarly friend, who decided to do some investigating.
The scholar started swapping the monkβs staves while he was asleep. Some days, the monk would be using a staff he thought was from where he was, but wasnβt; some days heβd believe it was from elsewhere, when in fact it was the correct staff for where he was; and some days belief and truth would match.
Interestingly, the scholar discovered that it was the monk'sΒ belief that mattered - whichever staff he was using, if he thought it matched his surroundings heβd do a little better, and if he thought it didnβt heβd do a little worse.
Of course, since then there have been many more rigorous studies, but that scholarβs treatise remains one of the most important works in shaping human understanding of the place-bo effect.
this is like looking at the original draft of the constitution
why be radically exclusionary abt queerness when you could be radically inclusionary instead. let's inflate the numbers. let's become the majority. the sky's the limit
"we can't let just ANYONE call themselves queer!!" what are you talking about. I'm steepling my fingers and gleefully cackling every time we Get Another One and you should be too. lock in.
overheard these two guys talking and they're like. very obviously cowboys and one of them goes "man when I was young I used to think everyone had horses I didn't even know there were ppl w/o horses" and the other one goes "shows how horseified we are"

sometimes i wish i could tell other women that you can just stop removing your body hair and in many cases the consequences will be way less severe than u expect. you can go to the beach with all your leg hair intact and nobody will stop you or say a thing. you can stop waxing your upper lip and people wonβt stare at it the way u might be bracing yourself for. you can quit plucking your brows and eventually they will grow back into themselves and no one will even notice. like for sure women are punished for not participating in beauty rituals but i also feel like so much of it is like The Panopticon sometimes where you just convince yourself that if u stop that kind of gendered upkeep everyone will be mad and stop talking to u forever when in reality you just keep existing and nothing remarkable happens. itβs not always easy but you can kind of just stop for real
