What does life in North Korea look like outside of Pyongyang? 🇰🇵
Hey, I’m back again with a very scary “tankie” post that asks you to think of North Koreans as people, and to consider their country not as a cartoonish dystopia, but as a nation that, like any other place on earth, has culture, traditions, and history.
Below is a collection of pictures from various cities and places in North Korea, along with a brief dive into some of the historical events that informs life in the so-called “hermit kingdom.”
That second part appears to be the AI giving advice to adopt a fantasy dragon
ohhh, this is interesting, because I’ve very rarely been able to source exactly what the AI is plagiarizing, but in this case it’s very clearly this piece of creative writing by Kim Watt
if you want me to consume a new media you MUST catch me at the exact moment when the stars are aligned and the air pressure is equal to the current degree of the sun’s peak against the horizon and all the cosmic energies are perfectly unified (aka my old interest is fading out) or i will nod and say “im adding that to my list!” Knowing theres no chance i will check it out
“unless its a book!” “unless you tell me it has gay people in it!” “this but only for live action shows” “theres a good chance i’ll get to it eventually” no wrong this post is not for you this post is ONLY for bitches who could have a treasured friend recommend them something that sounds grown in a lab to be your personal catnip and, with no choice in the matter, immediately know it will never be the right time to watch/read/listen to it
one of the most enlightening realizations ive had was finding out that non-24 hour circadian rhythm people were a pretty large group and most of us have oddly similar cycles of usually around 28hr internal “days” and this masquerades as “insomnia” but if allowed to sleep and wake naturally we will just advance forward through time an extra 2-4 hours a day at a relatively stable pace. we can’t go to school or jobs or even run errands on normal schedules without massive pharmacological and behavioral intervention. most of the people who have been diagnosed or figured it out themselves will report horrific, life-ruining disruption in their professional lives and terrible health from accrued lack of sleep. this disorder is most common in vision-impaired people which seems to suggest it’s related to light cues. anyway just thinking about this as extremely loud yard work woke me up at 8am for the second day in a row
lot of people reblogging this identifying themselves in it so i wanted to give you a link to a more detailed desription of Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder, and mention theres a similar disorder called Delayed Sleep Phase disorder where you are on a regular 24 hour cycle but you naturally get sleepy around 3-4am every day and wake up around 10am-12pm (roughly). as far as i can tell, despite the widespread nature of both these disorders, its basically impossible to get diagnosed bvecause sleep medicine is probably the single most useless specialty and if you dont have sleep apnea they dont want to hear about it.
this got 14k because Tumblr is absolutely a self-selected population of people with the worst sleep disorders you can possibly imagine
It’s amazing how much baking you can do when you follow all the goddamn directions. Baking is not a category in which you can fuck around unless you have tons of experience.
figured out why there’s been an uptick in me getting blocked by seemingly cool people recently. apparently my description looks like this on ios:

homestuck fans will call anything homestuck even while admitting there is no correlation to homestuck
i just have a bit of trouble swallowing the idea that people are becoming more puritanical when every other day i see droves of people proudly boasting about their adamant refusal to read any book that doesnt have graphic sex scenes in it
I’m still trying to process Blinken’s statements. I know what I read but it’s so out there that I need affirmation of reality: Did a U.S. official threaten to starve the entire world if Palestine becomes recognized as an independent and autonomous state?
