I didn’t know Mr. T pityed fool’s that weren’t woke, but that’s awesome. #respect
“I think about my father being called ‘boy’, my uncle being called ‘boy’, my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called ‘boy’. So I questioned myself:“What does a black man have to do before he’s given the respect as a man?” So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T so the first word out of everybody’s mouth is “Mr.” That’s a sign of respect that my father didn’t get, that my brother didn’t get, that my mother didn’t get.“
-Mr. T on the subject of his name
I had no idea he put this much thought into this wow
Worryingly Asbetos is being made into homepoathic wands and reki stones. Most worryingly claiming to cure CANCER, which Asbestos causes.
Being sold to many people under the intentions of “bring a bonding action between one and the subject of one’s desires“and claiming that it’s the “etheric blueprint to correct imbalances and blockages that could manifest as physical disease and to heal cellular memory, one of the best stones for rousing the kundalini energies“
Chrysotile a type of Asbestos is quickly becoming one of the most requested minerals in reiki and crystal healing. And it’s not the only type of Asbestos being sold as a healing crystal.
Above is Richterite, it’s known to be as dangerous as any of the other Asbestos in the six categories and is being sold to people promising ironic cures for liver, pancreas, kidney or breast cancer.
Above is Tigers Eye, everyone knows it looks cool but it is also Asbestos and although polished Health Protection Agency in the U.K., claim these are still dangerous.
While some types of asbestos may be more hazardous than others, all are dangerous. Leading health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the EPA and the International Agency for Research on Cancer, classify all types of asbestos as cancer-causing substances.
The following are all a type of asbestos: chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, winchite, suglite, richterite, actinolite and anthophyllite.
All the identified forms of asbestos can cause asbestosis, malignant mesothelioma, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, laryngeal cancer and other serious diseases and will not cure any form of cancer.
Some agencies, such as the Health Protection Agency in the U.K., claim amphibole varieties of asbestos are the most dangerous forms.
The EPA has abandoned projects aiming to identify which asbestos fiber types are the most toxic, citing the overall regulation of asbestos and asbestiform minerals as a more pressing priority.
EXCUSE ME WTF
Literally my reaction too, for just $20 you can pay to have a lump of raw asbestos shipped to you to cure you of various forms of cancer.
Peeps, if you didn’t know, asbestos is MINED. It’s a MINERAL that – like arsenic, yes, arsenic is mined too – many producers continued to mine despite knowing that ‘asbestos lung’ was a thing among their workers since basically the start. A great many mined substances can be harmful to you. Just because it comes out of the earth doesn’t mean you can safely hold it in your hand or have it in your home. Be aware!
Well said and thank you for reblogging and adding your comments 😀
Didn’t know Tiger’s Eye was a form of asbestos…
Many people don’t. Tigers Eye is formed when crocidolite asbestos is replaced by quartz fibers, because it’s still asbestos based I’d not recommend smashing your tigers eye any time soon. But I will add it isn’t directly asbestos once the quartz replaces.
You can see the fibers on this piece of unpolished Tigers Eye below and why it’s still classed under asbestos.
Asbestiform is a mineralogical term referring to minerals that can be separated into fibers. Many regulatory definitions define a 3:1 length-to-width ratio as a fiber. The EPA states that all Asbestiform is as dangerous.
just to be clear it’s the fibrous particulates that are the hazard not the chemical content. if you have a nice polished piece of tigereye on your shelf it’s not going to kill you instantly, but if it starts to break or chip so that raw surface is exposed and starts to crumble those fibers off, that’s bad and you should dispose of it asap.
the bigger problem here is honestly that so much garbage is sold to desperate people as a miracle cure, like as a whole witch myself please understand why i’m saying this but your crystals and shit have no substantial impact on your health (like they’re really only tools you can use to adjust your own energy you already have so like maybe your pulled muscle hurts a little less but don’t fucking count on it that’s the scale we’re looking at here ) and half the ~alternative treatments~ that claim to cure cancer are actually seriously toxic. looking at you, apricot pits. but because health is a damn business in this country, there’s always money to be made, there are always fucking vultures around.
I’ve seen these before! They’re produced by Bandai (the same company responsible for Tamagotchi and Digimon), and after every 100 pops, a random sound effect will play (like a dog barking or something).
They followed this with Mugen Edamame, which emulates squeezing edamame:
Then they did the Mugen Peri Peri, which simulates the action of opening boxes with tear tabs (like FedEx packages, Pocky boxes, and so on):
no but like if these kinds of actions calm you down in stressful situations tHINK ABOUT IT (the innovation not the situation LOL)
Why do people never want to tell you their middle name like who gives a shit its not a nuclear launch code its your damn name
reblog with your middle name in the tags
Actually, the practice dates back to the reason we have middle names in the first place!
Some time around the dark ages, everyone believed in witchcraft and wizardry, like ya do. A big principle of magic was the idea of “true names.” If a spellcaster knew your full name, they could do whatever the hell they wanted to you. Of course, people didn’t want that, but there were enough people with the same first names that you had to give people your surname as well, to avoid confusion.
The solution? A secret name in the middle that you don’t tell anyone (unless you believe that they’re not able to do magic and/or you trust them enough that if they DID do magic, you’d be fine).
this is some death note shit
Is that why when a parent uses your full name (or even just first and middle name) when they’re angry with you, it feels like they just cast some serious mojo on your soul and you know you are in deep shit?
OP is a fae in disguise do not tell them your middle name
That is not remotely the reason for middle name as the practice is not attested to until well after the Medieval era was over – but nevertheless OP is absolutely a fæ and should not be given your middle name regardless.
