This is literally so fucking funny

It is so sad to me that this has yet to become an expression. Trying to find anything good about the Trump administration? Chasing Dorothy. Searching for depth in the Blade Runner? Looking for Dorothy. Finding fault in my best friend? You’re looking for Dorothy, love.

Self-Justifying Cognition

Sometimes, thoughts and emotions make themselves feel right.

They may be correct, but the problem is that they make us think they are regardless of if they actually are.

Most emotions are self-justifying. The question of “should I be feeling angry” is almost always intuitively a “yes!” while the anger is active, because anger keeps vivid in the mind the (perceived) obvious wrong that caused it.

Self-justifying has the cognetic function of keeping cognition active long enough to act on it, so it is useful for motivation and doing.

But it makes for unsound reasoning, so it is harmful for thinking and deciding.

Hi, local Japanese person here to give a reminder this is NOT BUDDHA.

The deity depicted in this statue is actually one of the Seven Lucky Gods, or Shichi Fukujin. (Read about them here, and here)

His name is Hotei, the God of Happiness and Abundance! A jolly fellow who is said to grant happiness and luck if you rub his belly.

So yeah, not Buddha. Still great though!

Reblogging for the correct information!

Thanks for correcting this. My parents always told me this statue was called laughing Buddha, but it just didn’t sit with me, but 7 year old me didn’t really know what to type in the computer back then…

stop arguing about whether gay men have it easier or lesbians have it easier the answer is that straight people have it easier and we have to kill them

We also need to stop saying she’s “free”. She isn’t. She still has 10yrs probation, mandatory community service hours, and requirements for maintaining a job in order to remain unincarcerated. She’s been released from a physical prison only to enter the open air prison so many people in the carceral state are confined to.

This shouldn’t be over. She should be fully pardoned. It’s unconscionable that they can choose to incarcerate her again for any minor infractions they deem in violation of her probation. This release shouldn’t be conditional, and right now it is.

if i reblog a terf, its an accident and i want to know so i can delete the post

for cis people who may not know what to look for, check for these things in someone’s bio:

• gender critical
  
• radfem (although not always a 100% qualifier, it usually does lead to trans exclusionary discourse)
• “Detransitioned female”
  
• A huge obsession with genitals, including reducing other cis women to their vaginas
• If they have “TERF” anywhere in their bio or their blog and it isn’t ironic, be cautious
• Saying things like “TERF is a slur!”
• If they have a lot of content where they call trans women “dysphoric men” or “male to trans,” get outta there
• If they keep pushing the narrative that “TERF” is synonymous with “lesbian” (it’s not), or that trans women are trying to force cis women to have sex with them (we’re not)
• “Natal Women”
  

And that’s just what I can think of off the top of my head from all of my numerous experiences with these people
