capitalism is parasitic
like notice that the widespread “destigmatization” of mental illness doesn’t seem to have helped slow its occurrence. in fact it mostly just birthed a bunch of new parasitic micro industries like self-care products and therapy and astrology apps that turn disorders into identity markers you sustain by buying shit, including medication

This pandemic has really shown me why people hate neoliberals so much. They see our lives as numbers on a spreadsheet to be maximized rather than experiences to be had. Who the hell needs community and freedom when you have a nice padded cell in which you can’t be hurt or hurt anyone else?

Roasted Butternut Squash stuffed with couscous, spinach and mushrooms
Long time no see huh? A project ate me up and I lived on food delivery and sandwiches😔. I finished the project and here I am with another easy recipe!
1. What is required:
1 butternut squash
1 cup couscous
5 mushrooms
juice of ¼ lemon
2 garlic cloves
handful of spinach
2,5 tbsp balsamic vinegar
cinnamon powder
salt to taste
2. Cut the butternut squash in halves and remove seeds. Sprinkle with cinnamon powder and salt. Place cut-side down on a lined baking sheet and put in the oven. Bake it for 15 minutes at 200 C or 400 F. After 15 minutes, flip halves over and bake for 30-45 minutes depending on the size of the butternut squash.
3. While the butternut squash is being baked, fry sliced mushrooms in a big frying pan. Add oil or splash of water to deglaze the pan. In 10 minutes add spinach and pour lemon juice.
4. In 4-5 minutes add cooked couscous* and balsamic vinegar. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes more.
* How I ‘cook’ couscous: pour couscous with hot water so it covers grains with about 2 cm. You can crush bullion cube or vegetable powder and add your favourite spices.
Fill the butternut squash with couscous filling. How easy was it? 😉

Something I think we tend to tend to forget, when talking about closed religions, is to think about why they’re closed. Because there is ALWAYS a reason for it; no community just shuts itself off from others just because it feels like it.
Some religions are closed because they’re based on cultural values and beliefs that outsiders, who weren’t raised with and immersed in those beliefs, wouldn’t be able to ever truly understand. Brujería is an example of this, as far as I know.
Some religions are closed because they’re based on location, with their beliefs centered around local things that don’t make sense outside of that location. There are some small Shinto sects that are closed for this reason.
Some religions are closed based on race, because people of a specific race banded together under terrible circumstances and formed beliefs based on their shared experiences. Hoodoo, for example, was created by African slaves so it’s only open to Black people (mainly African diaspora).
Some religions are closed because you have to be born into them, usually because it’s part of the religion’s tenants and foundation. Modern Zoroastrianism almost never recognizes converts.
Some religions are closed because, historically, they were mistreated and often criminalized, with sacred practices being stolen and bastardized by outsiders who were allowed to witness them. Those religions ended up closing to outsiders in order to protect themselves and survive. This is why the majority of indigenous religions are closed.
It’s important to understand the reasons behind religions being closed, not only so that we can learn to accept that decision, but also so that we have a better understanding of history and other people.
