He’s learned to open the lazy Susan and won’t stop clawing open the flour and rolling in it like a little chinchilla

Criminal charges

He’s been CRAWLING INTO THE BOTTOM CABINETS to TEAR OPEN THE INSTANT POTATOES and EAT BAGS AND BAGS OF THEM I’m livid but also impressed.

I knew he loves mashed potatoes. I just didn’t know the extent he’d go to to get them.

Also yeah he’s fine he just likes to steal

I have to get the step ladder out once a week and see what Orange Sherbert has taken to his ledge for safe keeping. It’s usually the remote.

i was making a long post about this whole scene but i just want to highlight that koumba is from mauritania, a country that only became independent from french colonial rule in the 60s. it was the last country WORLDWIDE to abolish slavery in 81, and even then it was not criminalized until 2007. in the last fifty years it has gone through repeated cycles of military coups and authoritarian regimes, in the late 80s and early 90s (very likely during koumba's childhood) black mauritanians suffered ethnic violence and expulsions, forcing tens of thousands into exile. presently in the real world the country is still plagued with human rights abuses and persistent slavery conditions; roughly half the population is classified as living in multidimensional poverty. no sources because i gathered this from a 15 minute wikipedia glimpse, i'm sure i am only scratching the surface. anyway imagine you grow up parentless and fending for yourself in the above conditions and then live through this miraculous transition where it just stops, all of the suffering around you, it just ends, in an instant. and all there is now is peace and abundance and comfort and love and indulgence for you. and a white woman that is emblematic of the millions of peoples in the imperial core who were just like her, who lived entire lives of comfort and entitlement by turning a blind eye to you and your people because they were too self-involved to realize that their entire lives are built on the exploitation of your side of the world, yells at you because she has emotional problems. koumba diabaté is better than me i would be asking my new besties for a gun

They’re a high control group that isolate you from society. The cult decides how you dress, how you behave, who you marry and how. They control what you know, blocking all information from the outside world. They control how you feel and what you’re allowed to think with threats of both social and supernatural harm. They’re a cult.

It focuses on what’s important, which is what the cult does to its members, and those members’ experiences, and not on irrelevant details like how uncommon their doctrines are or whether they have a charismatic leader

yah that goes in the post

I’d strongly recommend reading this brief bio of Janja Lalich. She’s a deprogramming therapist, but she’s also a cult survivor from a political cult.
