*ranting and raving and stomping on rooftops and flailing my arms about* HUMANS ARE AMIMALS!!! WE ARE ANIMALS!!! QUIT ACTING LIKE WE'RE NOT!!!

I am so goddamn tired of society acting like we're not!!! I am so goddamn tired of us as a society acting like we are above all the other animals!!! I do not care that we are the apex!!! We are fucking ANIMALS!!! Like, just take a step back and observe us like we have our own nature documentary on Nat Geo or something. Maybe with David Attenborough or whatever, idc. Just imagine it.

We are a species of apes that just so happened to gain the ability of extremely complex and abstract thought, capability of language, an almost absurd level of self-awareness, and the type of intelligence that allowed us to discover, invent, and develop tools. A species of apes that just so happen to have such a crazy level of curiosity that we have the capability to learn about the world around us, and beyond.

The way we learn and develop is fascinating. If you observe a toddler from that standpoint, watching them interact with the world around them, you'd see how natural curiosity is to us, in our human nature. Neil deGrasse Tyson has literally said that children are beings of chaos because they're curious and learning about the world around them.

We all have children in us, just like we have our ancestors in us!!! Our brains are wired like theirs. Relatively, we have been in this state of society for an extremely short amount of time!! Our brains and nervous systems are still wired to survive and keep us safe from predators and other dangers!!

We are social creatures!! We need love and connection to survive!! We can't do things on our own. The only reason we ever got to where we are is because we work together and communicate and share knowledge. The way society is right now is too isolating!! Humans aren't meant to be fighting for a place in society!! Haven't you seen zookeepers?? Or anyone who cares for nature in any capacity?? We have an incredible capacity for compassion and caretaking, because we have the capability to know and understand the inner workings of ourselves and countless other species!! Caretaking and compassion is literally an innate human trait!! We're supposed to take care of each other and the world around us!! We literally are capable of pack bonding with ROOMBAS, for fucks sake!! Little robots that our ape brains see moving around on its own, being part of our homes, and thinks "little guy is alive... I love him"!!! Isn't that beautiful???

We were an evolution of Mother Earth, Herself, to grow Her and expand Her and care for Her!!! Whether you believe in intelligent design or just the absurdity of it all, it still happened like that. We have the capacity to care for Her in an evolved level, yet we're fucking it up so badly right now.

Indigenous cultures have always been on the right track. They've always been right about this. They have always known that we are all pieces of the same organism, just like the atoms and cells and organs and electricity in your body are all part of one body!!

And btw, culture is another HUGE part of us being social creatures!! Being expressive and creative and connected!! That's part of our nature!! We're meant to sing and dance and laugh together!! That connectivity of us being a collective is So Important!!! Making fun of people for being "sheep", or having "herd mentality" every single time is so stupid because yes!!! Yes that's EXACTLY how we are supposed to be!!! We are social creatures, remember?? The whole point is that we do things together!!!

I know how society is rn isn't the end all, be all, but it just breaks my heart that this Capitalism shit goes against some of the most beautiful parts of humanity!! We are animals!!! We are cute and curious and compassionate and social and we need warmth and sunlight and sustenance from the earth and water and sleep and shelter from the elements!! We have instincts just like everything else!! We came from the dust and we will return to the dust because we will always be part of the Earth, just like all the other animals!! And somehow, despite all odds, despite how robotic Capitalism wants us to be, our human nature seeps into everything.

Take care of yourself! You are an animal, after all! <3

“I do believe in an everyday sort of magic - the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone.”

A Secular Interpretation of Heaven & Hell: Enlightenment & Despair

When I was young, I was taught that Hell was the place you went to if you sinned, and Heaven is the place you'd go to if you lived a good Catholic life. Today, I believe heaven and hell exist in a very different way - right here on earth.

From Faith, To Disbelief, and Back Again I’ve been spending a lot of time wrapped up in spiritual literature as of late. On my recent trip to Hawaii, I visited a Buddhist temple, and picked up a book on the teachings of Buddha. I’ve also started reading the critically-acclaimed book by Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now. All this spiritual wisdom has me revisiting the ideas of heaven and hell that…

Let's be honest. In the past, we were on shaky ground. Things were happening to us left and right and we had no idea how to respond to them. At any moment, back then, things could be taken away from us, and we would have no way of getting them back, even if they were things that we needed or that were good for us.

Those days are over. We have accepted and stepped into a new mindset where we know what belongs to us, what we deserve, and how to protect all of it. Gone are the days of us standing by and watching our lives fall apart and having to be okay with that. This is a new path.

Read books aloud.

Are you and all your loved ones neurodiverse? Read books out loud.

Love your friend group, but sometimes feel anxious without social direction? Read to them. It's like scripting without the work of doing it yourself.

Constantly need to be moving/fidgeting? Be read to. You can listen to your friend over Discord while going for a walk or in person while knitting, cooking a meal, etc.

And congrats, you now share a hyperfixation.

I read Sherlock Holmes to my friends when they have trouble sleeping. I read Murderbot Diaries to my DnD group because it's effusive and beautiful and engaging.

There's nothing like laughing at the same jokes at the same time. Stubbornly refusing spoilers by outright lying that you don't know and have never read the book before. Seeing the devastation of loss, only to know things will come full circle later.

And artist friends? Oh gosh, bless them. It's such a perfect storm when someone reads and does the theater of the voices and emotional beats while the artist illustrates scenes as they go. ❤️

Read books aloud. It's magical.

Everything that is in the heavens, on earth, and under the earth is penetrated with connectedness, penetrated with relatedness.

The Cutting Edge: A Glimpse into the Future of Barbering in 2050

The barbering industry has evolved significantly over the years, and with technological advancements in the beauty industry, it is likely that barbering will continue to evolve, bringing forth new trends and innovations in the coming decades.

In the year 2050, we can expect barbering to become a highly personalised experience, with barbers employing advanced technologies to create bespoke looks for each individual client. Barbers may utilise advanced AI algorithms that take into account factors such as facial structure, hair texture, and skin tone to provide highly tailored haircuts and grooming services.

In addition, we may see the use of augmented reality technology, where clients can see a virtual representation of themselves with different haircuts and styles. This technology would allow clients to experiment with different looks before committing to a particular style, ensuring that they are satisfied with the final result.

Another trend that we might see in the future of barbering is the rise of eco-friendly and sustainable practices. With increasing concerns about climate change, more and more consumers are seeking out sustainable and environmentally conscious products and services. In response to this, barbershops may begin to adopt sustainable practices such as using natural and organic hair care products, reducing waste, and incorporating renewable energy sources.

The future of barbering may also include the use of robotics and automation. Automated haircutting machines and robotic arms that can trim hair with precision and accuracy may become more prevalent in the industry. This technology could help barbers to work more efficiently, allowing them to serve more clients in a shorter amount of time.

Finally, we may see a shift towards barbershops becoming more community-oriented spaces. In the past, barbershops have served as important community hubs, providing a place for people to gather, socialise, and share stories. In the future, barbershops may become even more integral to the fabric of our communities, with barbers playing a more significant role in supporting local businesses, promoting social justice, and fostering connections among people from all walks of life.

In conclusion, the future of barbering in 2050 is likely to be shaped by advanced technologies, sustainable practices, automation, and a renewed focus on community-building. While it is impossible to predict the exact shape that these changes will take, it is clear that the barbering industry is poised for significant growth and innovation in the coming decades.
