The decor of Rancho Pillow Motel, in Round Top, Texas, continues to inspire me w/its colorful, funky, BoHo, flea market style vibe.

The Love Shack.

The Surf Shack. Built from reclaimed material the Shacks feel very much like a wild west playhouse.

Bedrooms & bath in the Love Shack.

The Surf Shack.

The Red House dates back to 1896 and the art-filled home offers a whimsical vibe.

The Red house is awesome. 

It’s an explosion of color and art.

Bedroom in the Red House.

Love this pink bedroom!

Interior of the barn- the largest building. 

The Barn’s kitchen. 

This is fabulous, isn’t it?

There are so many options- this is The Tower House. 

Or, camp out in the Teepee. 

The bath facility behind the teepee.

I would love to go to one of their antique fairs in Round Top. This place is like paradise for BoHo, art, antique, and color lovers.

Reminder that people who have been in one high control group tend to end up joining other high control groups (including the guy who developed the BITE model).

Reminder internet movements/communities/pipelines often become high control groups.

Reminder that online communities that demand you at all times police yourself and everyone else around you, and/or sell you a worldview of complete nihilism where people not in the in group are evil or stupid and only you the people in the group Know The Truth and embody Goodness because what the group believes is the only correct way to be Are High Control Groups and if you find yourself in one you should consider getting the fuck out of there.

If it walks like a cult and quacks like a cult, it’s probably a fucking cult.

Flat-earthers/Q-anon/Atlantean/ancient alien conspiracy theorists (all of which are rooted in anti-semitism and most of which originated with the Nazi party) are high control groups, and most of the people in those communities are also in fundie Christian cults.

The ‘rationalists’ who push shit like the imminent evil ai which must be protected against and simulation theory and a Lot of Eugenics and also that one extremely notorious Harry Potter fanfic back in the day are high control groups.

Terfs are a high control group, and so are the community which is basically their inverse: the black-pilled part of the manosphere/incels. Once again most people in those groups are also in or formerly from fundie Christian cults. In the case of terfs, some people in the community genuinely believe that they are progressive and feminist which I find very darkly funny given that the entire terf movement has been proved to be intentionally created and spread by, you guessed it, the same fundamentalist Christian evangelical death cultists who are trying to seize governmental power and proposing anti trans bathroom laws and bans to anything remotely sexual or divisive in internet spaces.

Multi-level-marketing companies form high control groups out of their ‘sales rep’ consumer bases who don’t realize that 96% of them will never make a profit and they’re not supposed to, because they are actually the company’s market. And yes, mlms are incredibly popular with people who are also in a fundie cult, which is why they’re the most popular in the United States in Utah.

And the anti-shipping community is also a high control group which has found extreme purchase in algorithmic rabbitholes on tiktok and twitter. And it’s pretty apparent that most people in that community are either currently in some sort of repressive Christian religious environment or formerly so, given how many of them keep telling people to burn in hell for disagreeing with them.

HELP THIS VIETNAM VETERAN RETIRE

For those who live in the Houston, TX area, you might have heard of the shooting that recently happened at the Farmers Market. My grandfather, an 80 yo Vietnam vet, is an employee of this same farmer's market and has been working there longer than I've been alive. Matter o' fact, he works the exact same position as that man who was murdered.

We have been asking my grandfather for years to retire, but he simply cannot afford to do so. Between his medical bills for surgeries he's had, affording surgeries he needs, maintaining money aside for medicine, groceries, and essentials, as well as ensuring his land note (which keeps increasing) is paid so he doesn't find himself not having a spot for his home to go, he's only a missed paycheck or two away from losing everything. When my grandmother died four years ago, Grandpa went into work anyways because he couldn't afford not to. Now that someone who literally did the same job he does has been KILLED doing it, he still -- no hesitation -- is planning on getting ready to go do his next shift. Why? Because he cannot afford not to.

As long as I've known my grandfather, he's always been working. I moved in with him and my grandmother when I was in my early teens and there were no vacations, no time off, nothing for him. IHis "down time" has always ever been just him sleeping, preparing for his next shift at the farmers market.

Despite the shitty hand he's been constantly dealt, he has not one bad thing to say about anyone, anything, and continues to be resilient in his efforts of taking life's lemons and making lemonade. He always starts his next day smiling, loving his family, whole-assing everything he does, and looking forward to the next good joke he is told or the next time he'll be able to feed the ducks at the park.

As much as we'd love to put life aside to help Grandpa be in a place where he doesn't have any financial worries, no one in my family is well off as we're all either disabled (like myself) and not receiving income or we're struggling, burying ourselves in essential debt to continue existing.

Please, internet. I'm begging you. Please help my favorite person, the man who raised me, my grandfather spend the rest of his life actually getting to relax.* I honestly do not believe he knows what it is like to not have to worry about taking care of anyone or getting bills paid. He deserves rest, just like every veteran and every senior who's spent their entire lives working, and he shouldn't have to wait until death to achieve it.

I just want to be able to plan my weekly meals and get all my produce and eggs at the farmer's market, my milk and butter and other dairy products from a local dairy, and get my meat from a local butcher.

I want part of my weekly routine to be finding recipes using seasonal produce and know where my food comes from and support my local farmers by buying directly from them.

I want to plan my meals on Friday, swing by the butcher shop after work, get my produce on Saturday and prep on Sunday so I have less stress of cooking during the week and less opportunity for "I don't know what to cook"/"I'm too tired to prepare a whole meal" and get fast food.

(I don't think that's anything wrong with eating fast food or grocery store food or anything like that. I think people should eat whatever fits their needs/tastes.

I just like the idea of farmer's markets, family dairies, and small small butcher shops. And fast food makes my tummy hurt.)

Irene bro if you see this I want you to know I've been podcasting (talking loudly and emphatically to myself) abt that Grammy Gun post for Hours. I started ranting in the rb tags and then I got so mad I started a spreadsheet on my phone Yes I have the Excel app. No I did not finish my tags

I already know I don’t like this new Doja Cat “demons” and satan era bc I already have my good aggressive or “weird” fem rap(idk what she’s trying to do honestly) like Smack a Bitch or Rage or OHFR? or Black Punk (just Rico’s entire discography tbh add Art of War) at a concert venue has people frothing at the mouth and PvE enabled. Demons could be played in a new DC movie trailer. It’s literally a worse “Boss Bitch”. Also just listen to Crazy by Doechii tbh it could literally be part of this satanic panic music if she added red color grading and devil horns to her MV or someshit. Like the beats go hard on each song for Scarlet so far but like give me something actually edgy in the song and not just the visuals bc I’m not gonna drive 90+ mph on the interstate listening to Paint the Town red or Demons bc Im visualizing or watching the MV’s I’m gonna do that bc I’m listening to something that makes me feel like the minute I reach a stop I’m rearranging someone’s fucking bones or the beats are so grimey I can cook a malicious brew in my car.

Ik if Doechii tapped into this shit it’d be the vibe Doja’s said she was giving and then some (listen to Swamp Bitches and Spooky Coochie holy shit they make me want to swerve into incoming traffic and huff napalm shrapnel in a good and sexy way) also listen to Paris Texas lmao

Made another vlog of me tabling at Richardson's Lunar New Year Festival! It was pretty cold, so there's not a ton of festival footage, but I do interview a couple of artist friends!

The one thing I noticed very early on while analyzing Satanic Panic media from the 80s/90s is just how much of it targets public schools and education. Like half of the documentaries will start off like “schools are teaching children the occult” and touch upon that for the next hour or so. It’s something I don’t think is talked about a lot when it comes to the Satanic Panic, but the amount of focus on schools, on children’s media is admittedly, the one thing that always jumps out at me.
