Piscatella’s backstory in Orange is The New Black wasn’t included to make you sympathize with him. It was a reference to a real life event. On June 23, 2012, four correction officers locked black prisoner Darren Rainey in a shower and raised the temperature to 180 degrees. He kicked the door and begged to be let out, and they laughed and asked if it was warm enough. They left him in there for two hours. When he was pulled out, his internal body temperature was too hot to register with a thermometer. His skin was peeling off. Burns covered 90% of his body. Despite all of this, the official statement was that cause of death was “undetermined” and on March 17, 2017 it was announced that the four COs involved will not face any charges.
His name was Darren Rainey. Say his name. Remember his name.

Infused water magick 🍒🍶
I got a water infusion bottle for my birthday, and I really loved it so far! 🍶💕 It’s great if you struggle with drinking enough water because the fruit/vegetables will give the water some flavor and it’s all natural, no chemicals and you’ll want to drink more bc it tastes good and looks pretty~ It’s an easy, unsuspicious way of integrating some magick into your everyday life if you want to ✨
Here are some ideas what you can put into your water infusion bottle and their correspondences that i find work best:
• Apples 🍎🍏: love, beauty, wisdom, health
• Strawberries 🍓: love, lust, success
• Peaches 🍑: Happiness, Love, Wishes
• Cucumbers 🥒: Healing, Cleansing, Soothing
• Peppermint 🌿: Sleep, Purification, Psychic powers, healing
• Apricots : Love, Attraction, Feminity
• Pears 🍐: Love/Lust
• Raspberries : Protection, Love
• Kiwi 🥝: Relaxation, Love/Lust
• Blueberries: Protection, Peace
• Starfruit ⭐: Protection
• Mango : Spirituality
• Lemon 🍋: Longevity, Purification, Friendship
• Grapefruit: Purification, Weight loss
• Orange 🍊: Energy, Inspiration, Happiness
• Lime: Healing, Protection, Purification
• Cherries 🍒: Feminity, Divination, Attraction
• Grapes 🍇: Mental powers (dreams, visions), Fertility
• Figs: Divination, Love, Luck
• Pineapple 🍍: Luck, Prosperity, Weight loss
• Plum : Healing, Loyalty, Relaxation
• Ginger (root): Power, Success, Health
• Sage 🌿: Wisdom, Longevity, Protection
I recommend cutting the things you put in the bottle in small pieces or mashing them a bit and removing pits if necessary to allow the flavors to sink into the water easier. Also, put your bottle in the fridge and let it sit for a few hours or overnight to get the optimal result.
Important: You don’t have to throw away the fruit/vegetables after you’ve finished your water bottle! 🙅♀️ Fresh goods can be very pricey, especially when they’re out of season. You can use them for another refill and eat them when you’re done, they’ll still taste great and be full of good fibers and vitamins👌
Stay hydrated!

honey production does hurt the bees. the honey stolen is replaced with a toxic synthetic sugar substance which isn't healthy for them. honey isn't for humans to steal, please educate yourself.
Arright, sit down, you’re about to get some knowledge dropped on you by somebody with beekeepers and meadmakers in the family.
The “toxic synthetic sugar substance” you’re referring to? Is sugar water. Literally SUGAR and WATER. There’s nothing synthetic about it. And the bees only rarely need a LITTLE bit of sugar water to help them get through, because if they’re provided with enough nectar, bees will make a shit-ton of honey. Most hives generate more honey than they can ever use.
And when a hive starts getting too full, the bees may swarm and try to go find a new place to live. Do you know what happens to a more than three-quarters of swarms that leave their hive? THEY DIE. Yup. Either they can’t find a new hive, or they run into predators, or they wind up landing somewhere that humans don’t want them and then exterminators get called.
So removing a few frames from the hive, taking out the wax and the honey, and replacing them for the bees to fill with new comb and honey and larvae is actually GOOD for the hive. The bees stay busy, they’ve got frames to fill, the queen doesn’t feel the need to go anywhere, and their human buddies can help keep them safe from natural predators and pesticides.
The mutually-beneficial relationship between humans and bees has existed for literally thousands of years. People keep hives, bees pollinate crops and make honey, people harvest the honey, the bees get extra protection and can happily buzz away keeping the plants healthy and making more sweet sugary goo.
Honeybees are an endangered species. If they die, not only does your vegan diet become completely impossible, but the entire planet is royally fucked.
And do you know who’s doing more than anybody else to keep them alive and make sure we don’t all starve?
BEEKEEPERS. And they treat those bees like their own damn children. They’re not going to feed them toxins or “steal” all their food, they want the bees to be happy and healthy and THRIVING.
Being vegan is absolutely fine, but don’t go trying to tell other people how to eat and don’t sound off on shit until YOU educate YOURSELF. Try talking to an actual beekeeper sometime. Or at the very least, read an article by a beekeeper instead of relying on someone else’s scare tactics.

When someone means the world to you, it can be nearly impossible to explain in a perfect quote or poem. The way she looks at me, though- that’s poetry.

How to Overcome Emotional Numbness
Emotional numbness is where we experience mild to severe feelings of detachment – so it’s hard for us to access normal feelings any more. This includes both negative and positive emotions as you can’t decide to shut just one feeling off. Common causes of emotional numbness include different stresses or traumas … from receiving bad news … to being in an accident … to recovering from the death of someone close … to a relationship breakup … to feeling deeply humiliated or ashamed. So how do you overcome emotional numbness and live with emotional integrity again?
1. The first thing to do is to choose to respect and allow all emotions – no matter what they are. Also, try and grasp the fact that suppressing your emotions will likely lead to heartache and problems later on (as they’ll possibly resurface at inappropriate times.)
2. Try and understand that feelings and actions are two very different, and unrelated, things. That is, you can still feel angry without becoming violent – so don’t assume your feelings will affect your actions, too.
3. Try to figure out the message behind intense emotions. Are you angry because you’ve been hurt, used or abused? Are you sad because deep down you feel that you’ll never find true love - as you can’t believe that anyone will love you for yourself?
4. Take that risk – and find the courage to ask someone for help. If you’re honest with yourself, you’ll know that there are those who genuinely love you like – like a true and caring friend. The important thing is not to try and isolate yourself, and to make the extra effort to prioritise self-care. You need other people to help you work through this.
5. Seek professional help if the symptoms persist. There are excellent counsellors and therapists out there who have the training and skills to help you to get free – so you can live a more fulfilling and normal, healthy life.
6. Be patient within yourself. It’s likely to take time – as you will need to learn to trust, and take some barriers down, so you can be yourself again (and that is often hard to do when you’ve experience hurt and pain).
