“Subhuti, when someone is selflessly charitable, they should also practice being ethical by remembering that there is no distinction between one’s self and the selfhood of others. Thus one practices charity by giving not only gifts, but through kindness and sympathy.”
Mundane Halloween is back!
Today is the "Mundane Halloween" contest in Japan, sponsored by website @dailyportalz
The idea is to dress up as something incredibly ordinary.
Here is a thread of some of my favorites from this year!

@LuvinKatW @bees_dot_gif @PattyInHD@JohnConnorM@ejrosetta Imagine putting your energy into terrorizing your family like this and being so psyched about it. Gross. Lady needs to learn to love herself for real, not take out her insecurities on her family.
Children were never meant to be raised by just two people and it's deeply selfish and problematic as a society that we've completely lost community and interdependence is seen as something to shame. It does take a village, parental isolation should not be the norm. We need to go back to when we all had enough empathy to look after each other and lose the egocentric "not my child, not my problem" attitude
Everyone is dunking on this look, but a few small changes could make it a lot better. Some suggestions:
1. Shirt: Instead of a black cotton button-up, which can make you look like a waiter, try a more casual fabric. So, instead of a smooth twill, try needlecord or rayon. And instead of a basic spread collar shirt, try a snap-button Western.
2. Pants: Instead of generic black pants in a slim, low-rise cut, try something a little more directional. Wrangler Wranchers have a 1970s bootcut. If you're feeling spendy, Husbands Paris has a similar cut but in a higher-end wool (the Wranglers are pure polyester). And next spring. Bryceland's in Tokyo and London is coming out with a bootcut in various fabrics, including a very Johnny Cash-y black sateen.
3. Jacket: Most outfits benefit from having some kind of finishing layer, which often means a jacket. Try a denim or suede trucker jacket. I personally like ones that are inspired by Lee's 101J, where the flapped pockets slant upwards towards the shoulder joints. This differs from the more standard Levis Type III (although, those are good too).
You can see how very small changes in the fabric (needlecord vs plain cotton), styling (Westernwear instead of generic club clothes), and the addition of a jacket totally change the look.
what’s shameful about this moment is a refusal to acknowledge that colonialism is bad for settlers, too, just as white supremacy is bad for white people, patriarchy is bad for men, homophobia is bad for heterosexuals, etc. it’s being repackaged a critique of “justification”
Elon changing the terms so it's okay to call trans people pedophiles and groomers on a whim and then immediately banning the first person to do it to him is so exhausting, you can't even crack a joke about it. He's so pathetic. A worm.
