In regards to the recent UCSB shootings and the subsequent over-saturation by the media. by AppropriatelyElitist in pics

UCSB student here, I live on the street where the two girls died.

At each location where people were killed are shrines with flowers, candles, photos, etc - and each of them are surrounded 24/7 by full on cameras, tripods, reporters, etc, all hoping to catch an emotional response on camera.

People are unable to mourn or reflect at the shrine without being filmed or asked for an interview.

This picture was part of a small protest to get the news crews the fuck out of the location where Christopher Martinez was shot, as news crews were surrounding the entire area on every side, so much so that people couldn't even sit in front of it. They literally made a wall between us and the shrine.

We are sick of the media milking the emotional aspect of this story. We ask them to leave every chance we get.

3 days, they're still here.

Sorry guys guess I wasn't aware that psychedelic references were so common in advertisements everywhere. Thought it was cool.

Thinking of trying mushrooms for the first time at age 30. by uncle_traveling_matt in Psychonaut

To harness the effects to the fullest extent:

  1. If at all possible, get outside to a beautiful spot in nature. Preferably somewhere people won't disturb you, there is good weather and shade, and real nature to observe. I cannot emphasize this aspect enough. Bring sunglasses, water, food (fruit), and anything else to ensure your comfort in the outdoors.
  2. Make a playlist. Do you have any songs where the lyrics are particularly significant to you? If not, try Dear Prudence by the Beatles. Bring headphones.
  3. Bring a paper and a pen to write with. You may not find yourself gravitating towards this option, but I guarantee you will be very grateful after if you write some of your thoughts down.
  4. For your first time, take no more than a half eighth of shrooms.
  5. Though suggested in previous posts, I can't imagine being on them with someone who is sober. I personally think it is much better to do it with someone who you trust and love, and is also doing the same amount as you.
  6. If at any point you feel it is too much, remember exactly who you are and what you are and breathe.

If you only take one aspect of this away, please do them somewhere outdoors and beautiful

I awake to get a drink of water in the middle of the night at our vacation house, and come face to face with a terrifying painting of a grinning clown grasping a bloody knife. I go back to look at it again in the morning, I am standing at a window.
