hey let's play a game: throw something at me (an image, a name, whatever arbitrary thing) and I will tell you precisely how cursed or blessed it is. and then you can vote with your likes about how accurate my assessment is
self-response: this game itself is curse-adjacent. tricky business. kind of dangerous. but it takes on the energy of the person playing it, and I have pretty blessed energy overall so I have a good feeling about this
69% blessed 31% cursed

crossing 70% blessed is a major threshold that enhances your persuasion efforts, so being 69% blessed is itself a sort of sisyphean meta-curse

the trash itself is broadly inert, but the thoughtful arrangement confers a mild blessing of love upon it

most actors are cursed, i'm afraid. I think sasha does have a luminous blessing somewhere in him – possibly a heart of gold! possibly! but it struggles to come through, to me.

straight up cursed, I'm sorry. it's too busy. too thick, too bold, too stark, too uneven and inconsistent, calls way too much attention to itself.

(via @shridushyant) this one is a freebee, gerald is obviously a blessed angel all the way through. challenge me a little, c'mon
now this is a challenge! it seems to be *presenting* as cursed. but there's an earnestness about it. I'd say, not blessed, but not cursed either. I'd file this under "risky neutral"
i'm amazed ya'll are putting such personal things up for assessment. I would kinda advise against that...

anyway: the rainbow and flowers are lovely, but they are also ephemeral. it is the box with bars that remain. gently cursed

rocks are fascinating + can be very powerful. as with the beach trash earlier, the assemblage of these rocks is what gives them their power. they have been blessed, but it is a rather stern blessing. Would make good gifts for writers, with a ceremony

Indian women lounging around is generally blessed and divine. young desi artists should remix this image, be it via fanart or cosplay. there is a power in irreverence. casual goddess energy
oh man, some powerful stuff here. this is promethean. this is cyberpunk 1938. there's a cinematic universe in here if anybody has the guts to unearth it.

you could describe it as cursed with benefits. I suppose that makes it faustian.

most babies are blessed, snail babies too
there are so many layers to christopher lee

he played mostly villains, which superficially might *seem* cursed

his *presence* was a blessing

I think he had a noble heart

if I were just assessing the pic, I'd say it has a stern power to it

most international treaties, legal documents, etc are kind of intrinsically somewhat cursed – the word that's coming to me is "despondent" – especially when war is involved. that said, they are often necessary; to go without can be worse.
at first glance this seems like it should be cursed.

but it is not as it seems. there is a thoughtfulness to the assembly. there is some consideration to the photograph. you and your husband love each other, and that is absolutely hashtag BLESSED

trees are the oldest magic, universally blessed. sacred. holy. treat with respect. this one looks like an elder
I met Taleb once! Lovely guy. Also he is clearly cursed and he knows it. He should pivot to doing a food travel show and cookbook about squid ink pasta, but he won't. Because he is cursed. Poor thing
the hair up top is very cool, I would try and tame the beard in a way that matches it. currently the contrast between the two is jarring. friendly chaotic energy is generally blessed in my book

Re: “X is not a replacement for therapy”. I won’t argue that there’s any one thing that’s a replacement for therapy, but I will say it’s *possible* to

1. be a person who “needs therapy”
2. become a person who gets DMs saying “this conversation helped me more than my therapist”
“Go to therapy” has become a sort of shorthand - and I’ve used it myself too as a sort of placeholder (typically like, “go to therapy if you need to”). But even therapy itself is no guarantee of anything. Some people go to therapy to find elaborate ways to justify their bullshit
I’m sure there are lots of great therapists out there who are doing their best to help people, I see you, appreciate you, etc etc.

And- simultaneously- I’ve sensed that there’s been this strange... valorization? glorification? of therapy happening. It feels v artificial to me

I love this question because I am naturally a person who makes things complicated. 😂 If I were to 🐝 truly, fully myself, I would be 10x more complicated than I pretend to be in public for social reasons
The natural language inside my head is byzantine and ornate, the sentence structure is convoluted, the vocabulary esoteric. Does that seem pretentious? I’m a naturally pretentious person! I love pretending! I love to make things up and imagine things and build elaborate fantasies
I have spent a million words getting to know myself very intimately, a million more getting to know others, and so I have no anxieties about my pretenses or complexity. I am always myself whether I’m talking to a baby or to a shitposter. My earnestness is genuine, people can tell

treat everyone you interact with with dignity and respect

if you feel like you can't bring yourself to do that with someone, try not to interact with them

over time being a person who conducts themselves that way will bleed into your inner being and you will respect yourself
it can be a sort of strange loopy, "as above, so below" sort of thing – you can start with yourself, too, and work your way out. you can start by identifying the things about yourself that you respect – look back for moments when you respected yourself most – and do more of that
or you can look around you. make a list. this is something you can cultivate a sensitivity to. "I really respected it when... [insert thing your friends did or did not do]". That teaches you something about your values. When you live in alignment with your values, that's amore
