So when "unalive" becomes too loaded to use, what'll be the new soft uwu way of babytalking to adults when discussing death

Y'all understand that's what happens when you choose to do this with language right? It doesn't stop. You self-censor and find a more acceptable term for something emotionally loaded, but the new word will eventually become too loaded too. So eventually you'll have to come up with something else. You've started a cycle that wasn't necessary but as long as you keep engaging with it, you have to ask yourself: when does it end? Does it end?

(The answer, btw, is that it ends with loss of language for the thing. "unalive" eventually leads to not discussing death at all because people are too afraid they'll say the wrong thing. So people grieve alone. They grapple with suicidal ideation alone. People become more isolated and lose necessary language that is precious and vital and we lose all the expression of grief and death and the inherent love and value they're connected with because fear overpowers it. We don't have to, though. You can just stop using words like "unalive" and say "death" and "dead" and "suicide" because they're supposed to feel hard. They refer to parts of life that are hard.)

They should make a content label for ai posts like they do for mature content so I dont ever have to fucking look at it

ID / TL;DW: young Black man explains the history of voodoo dolls: they originated in England, where Black people where prohibited from learning to read or write, to help witches keep track of what ailed their patients. Eg., person goes to witch and laments headache, they treat their headache and make a small doll (called "poppet"), trying to represent them as good as possible, stick a needle in its head and put it up a shelf. When they return next week, the witch takes their poppet and asks about their headache. If it's gone, they remove the needle, otherwise they know they have to treat a rather persistent headache.

yeah there's examples of English poppets at the Boscastle museum of witchcraft! they have a good collection although sadly not as cool as before it flooded

the thing I love most about how tumblr users use tags is that it’s like what if a social media website had a footnotes system
