you bring up some really good points, i’m reconnecting with my filipino roots out of interest and wanting to decolonize

its hard to not see things in such a racialized lens having grown up in america, and i do feel the most liberated when i don’t have to see things this way (until some idiot inevitably brings it up). i’m progressive and agree that there tends to be a lot of harmful “black and white thinking” and lack of nuance within progressive circles (albeit i’ll take liberal racism over conservative hate any day)

i love the idea of self medicating and tripping and hear anecdotes of how it works for others. i mention in my op that i schizo runs in my family and hear how psychedelics can trigger permanent schizophrenia (whether that’s true or not i don’t wanna fw it)
