A list of things to do and not do when wanting to be a decent person on Halloween

A list of ways you can avoid being an asshole and ruining someone’s Halloween experience. If we all put in an individual effort to respect other people and treat them with kindness, then we all can have a successful all Hallow’s Eve.

Of course….if any of these things are far too difficult for you, then, that tells the world all they really need to know about who you are as a person.

If you haven’t yet been scared off, thinking that you’re about to be condemned to the fate of having low morals, then read on to see how you can help make sure everyone has a safe and happy Halloween this year.

How to make sure everyone has a fabulous #Halloween. Mind your own business, give them some #candy, and continue shutting up. Click to Tweet
You know how hard it is being an adult. A bit of candy and a grand smile might be the best part of another person's day. Click to Tweet
#Racists don't deserve candy. Wet up your local #racist for #Halloween this year. Let them shake and shiver. Click to Tweet
  1. 1 Do not wear Native American headdresses if you are not Native American.

    Do not wear Native American headdresses if you are not Native American #HalloweenTips

    It's offensive. Earning the right to wear a headdress is a sacred thing among Native American culture, and, obviously, if you are not Native, there is no way you could've earned the right to wear a headdress, so don't fucking do it. 

  2. 2 Do not wear black face. Yellow face. Red face. None of that.

    Black face, yellow face, and red face are not costumes for Halloween (or ever). In fact, it's racist.

    You can be whatever you want to be....except a person of a different race. You, too can get a bucket of water thrown at you or maybe some unknown hero will keep a water hose with a heavy pressure and a long, shooting range at the ready for assholes who try it.


  3. 3 Don't shame any girl's...or woman's costume this Halloween.


    As a woman, a black woman, this is a particular point of interest for me. In a world where women are constantly under the microscope for not only their behavior and personalities, but also for the way they dress everyday of the year, Halloween doesn't let up on that criticism. 

    Although an overwhelming majority of Halloween costumes are marketed as being a "sexy" version of many of the professionals we see on a regular basis, nurses and teachers being the first to come to mind, it somehow seems to be inappropiate for women to actually wear these costumes that have been so heavily marketed towards them.

    Now, even when some women have the confidence to wear such costumes anyway, there has been made a very clear distinction in how people respond to black women wearing the same costumes that non-blacks have been praised for wearing.

    No, she doesn't have too much ass to wear that. We know she doesn't look "just like the character", but neither do the other non-black women wearing the same costume. If this sounds like you, you're just too much of a cunt to enjoy other people expressing themselves. This also makes you not only a misogynist, but also a racist, and no one needs that negative energy on Halloween or on any other day of the year. So fuck off.

  4. 4 Do not ask people their gender.

    Do not ask trick or treaters their gender. It's rude, obnoxious, and none of your business

    We've gotten all the way to number 4, so I'm hoping that SURELY you have received the message of "mind your own fucking business" by now. I will continue laying out the yellow, brick road to being a better person anyway.

    From my observations, there is a general consensus among trans and gender fluid people that it is not only annoying, but incredibly rude and invasive to be questioned about their gender. What you can do instead, is:

    A. Mind your own business, give them some candy, and continue shutting up.

    B. Offer up your own pronouns to help make others comfortable.

    Neither of these repsonses mean that your obnoxious curiosity will be satisfied, but this isn't about you. This is about not making other people feel uncomfortable or unsafe, and sometimes that requires that you make an extra effort to not be an asshole to people who might appear to be different from you.


  5. 5 Let those adults have the candy.

    Let adults have candy during Halloween trick or treating

    Don't be stingy. The children they might be accompanying are hard work. Babysitting ain't easy. I know because I have had that unfortunate job for longer than I care to remember. 

    You know how hard it is being an adult. A bit of candy and a grand smile might be the best part of another person's day. So... let that candy go! Put a smile on someone else's face.


  6. 6 Refuse to give candy to people in black face.

    Refuse to give candy to people in black face to prove you're "not racist"

    "Oh no, this sounds so hard. I just love supporting racists!"

    If the above is your response to this rule, congratulations, you're an asshole. The best way to discourage racist behavior, (black face IS racism, in case you were wondering), is to shame and treat racists like trash. Racists don't deserve candy. I'm sure their racism is all the sweetness they need in their horrid lives. 

    Being sensitive and exhibiting kindness towards others does not extend to supporting racism. 


  7. 7 Watch out for small children who appear to be lost.

    It happens. Even I lost my little sister once or twice during Halloween trick or treating. Trick or treating, especially in highly populated areas, can be a confusing whirl of colors, costumes, and shadows, but if everyone is looking out for everyone, then we can all have a safe night testing our kidneys' ability to prevent us from overdosing on sugar. 

    This is not an invite for anyone to turn into a Criminal Minds-level creeper. Other people will be watching you. God will be watching. Satan will send his minions to protect the innocent. Karma will be unkind. You know what happens to people in Criminal Minds when they get caught, and they always get caught. If not by police, then by karma. And I doubt that you want to spend your next life as a roach or forever burning in the deepest pits of hell.

  8. 8 Keep your fucking mask on.

    keeping your mask on is vital to being decent on Halloween because the plague is bad and so is your bad breath

    Covid 19 definitely isn't over. Keep your goddamn germs to yourself. Continue practicing social distancing. Stay to your own group.

Heeey, I heard you loved me with the lights off but I’m not some Cheshire maiden mistaken for lush beauty and kind generosity. What an atrocity to love the stars and hate the stars and galaxy and the space between your toe nails and nail polish. What an ugly shade of green. never thought you’d love to hate her you used to be whatever nice is but now you must be punished for your sins in lashings of the tongue. The bloating begins. I want chocolate ice cream chocolate syrup chocolate frappe a side of chocolate with my chocolate and a marshmallow pie. Fudge by any other name will still be fat and sweet. Welcome to nightmares, night scares, daydreams. What an ugly shade of green for snores to hide in. I’d give up sleep for Romeo if he were to climb my balcony and conqueror 15 my mind from the outside this time. Blind man, do you still lust for beauty day dazing at the yellow sun son sun of Zeus and goddesses of Earthy spirits. Here’s a hope for hoping. I’m done with wishing on falling stars. I’ll catch you once you’ve fallen.

Do you see shadows in the daylight? If not, let this poetry collection take you to a new place where dreams are not dreams and nightmares are the beginning of all things fantastical. Not only ghouls and goblins can scare you. Fear can take the shape of your favorite uncle or your father. Horror can happen in the daylight. This is what Nightmares, Night Scares, Daydreams will show you. Maple Summers’ second poetry collection will bend your way of thought with its new usage of familiar words. She will bring you to a different realm of a new reality, a place of hopes and dreams and fantastic failure. She explores more familial relations, while also talking about romantic relationships in a new way. She speaks on friendship, fear, retribution, loss, bitterness, and emotional decay. Shedding light on controversial issues and her place as an African-American minority in a white society, Summers also delves into the darkness without fear that you will see the darkness inside of her. She wishes to share that with you in a way that will bind you together. She will show you the fear of living and the fear of death and also explore self-reflection and the meaning of self-confidence. Wishing to challenge you to think of words in a new way, a noun is not always a noun, as Nelson bends the rules of grammar by riddling this poetry with a naturally free flowing hand of colorful language. And she does not leave out the sex. She takes taboo sexual issues and drags them into the light forcing you to confront things that you may not want to think about. But there are others out there suffering too. And Nelson is here to tell you that you are not alone. She speaks directly to the reader without fluffed language or nonsensical fanfare. This is Halloween where we are all dressing as someone else but all we want is to be ourselves. How do you think of Halloween? Lori Jenessa tackles the question, speaking about the holiday itself and what it represents to her. And just for ghoulish fun and witchery, she has also included fun spells that are a little more than just magic. They are flashlights of her personal insights. Let her share this journey with you. Welcome, sweet dears, to Nightmares, Night Scares, Daydreams.

Playing the tank drum is a spiritual thing that frees you. Its sound echoes and its vibrations heal and give you the feeling that they are soaking into you like warm water. Absorb these vibrations through your ears and feel them in your heart. I imagine that I am invoking the spirits of somebody’s ancestors. The ones who were kind, yet strong, peace-loving, but fierce and protective of others. Ones who believe in hearts and souls and the importance of being forgiving and unforgiving. Isn’t life about balance? I reach for balance with every note and beat of the drum. There are highs and lows, quick songs and slower ones. Sometimes I can’t help myself. After I get warmed up, I tend to play faster and faster, but isn’t that another reflection of the rhythm of life?

I hope that this music gives you a taste of some freedom. That it takes you out of yourself and the world and lets you float. Maybe it will be the soundtrack to your feelings of peace and relaxation, and you, like every note that lifts from the drum, will become air.
