    Me, a mixed race person of color who doesn’t sunburn or freckle, reading how all the white folk in the comments have the same mark.

      It is now your duty to inspect all white people for this mark & care for the ones unlucky enough not carry it.

      This honor is not to be taken lightly, you are now a leader undertaking grave responsibilities.

        So how many people knew about this shared freckle badge? I apparently am defective as I didn’t get stamped with it at birth, maybe my mom forgot to check that option at the dealership. Maybe this means I’m a reptilian or am a member of the illuminati. Or who knows maybe I sliced it off in my youthful escapades and shenanigans. Oh well, just another club I’m not a member of.

          Well those of us who have the freckle have always known. Given that you do not have the freckle, I’m afraid that is all I can share.

          You’re cool, you can be in the club. We’re prolly all Illuminati minions anyways. ;)

      I am not even white and I have it. Although it is a bit closer towards the wrist than this pic.

      You went to the toilet just to take this photo. Don’t take it as a criticism, I would have, too.

    At least in the USA, it’s probably due to having been alive long enough for sun damage to cause a freckle on the side of your body nearest the car window while driving.

      I’m in the UK. We drive on the opposite side, freckle in the exact spot on my left arm, nothing on my right.

      I mean… I’ve never driven a vehicle that didn’t have tinted windows (the heat reduction benefits are huge), but then the sun wants me dead anyway; I spent a week in a southern state and suddenly had freckles in places that never saw the sun.

      I’ve had mine since before I started driving ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I noticed in my late teens I had a lot of freckles on the left side of my body and very few on the right, and I didn’t start driving until I was 22. I did spend 2 years in high school with a much darker tan on my right arm from hanging my arm out the window of a boyfriend’s car with no AC, but still have more left-arm freckles.

      This is exactly how I use tarot! It’s not a magical technique of divination, it’s a collection of targeted vagueries that help your brain frame a concept in a way you wouldn’t naturally conceive. You make the answers, tarot is just the conceptual equivalent of picking up an object and inspecting it to figure out what it is.

          For me, meditation is basically useless for anything outside of self diagnostic work. I can use it to figure out where a pain is coming from or how my guts feel but anything more emotional needs more prompting.

      The way I see it, it’s just a form of therapy. People don’t walk in and sit silently, they talk about their problems and get vague reassurance that everything is going to be alright - or occasional advice when they’re way out of bounds

      I don’t think it’s unethical to do that, so long as you operate in good faith with good intentions
