Where are you right now? Somewhere safe? Warm? Next to someone you love? Someday, all that will be gone. Time passes how it’s meant to. All that matters is now. Happily ever now.

piece of media you feel crazy about at formative age is truly like the hotel california. you can check out but you can never leave

Being a calm, gentle, non-reactive person is really hard work, which is probably why many people are none of these things. Personally I think it’s worth it but sometimes one does want to just roll around on the floor wailing at the top of one’s lungs

Seeing people I know and like using AI is making me understand the protagonists of those old time sci fi dystopia's.

"Oh I don't normally use AI, I just wanted it to plan my trip"

You lived on this planet for decades, you know what you like, there are hundreds of websites where you can type into any search engine " things to do in [area]" and have at least a hundred different options.

"Oh I only use it so I can figure out what to make during the week with what I have"

The most popular website as you type in "recipes" into google have sections where you click dinner- quick and easy and those usually rely on staples + 1 or 2 items. I found 30 recipes on chicken alone.

"I had a writing idea, so I typed a few sentences into Chat GPT and I was able to write 20 pages with it."

They say the war is over, or that it has calmed down...

But in Gaza, the bombing continues, evacuation orders keep coming, and families are still being forced to flee from one place to another.

Here, not a single day passes without fear, and not a single night without waiting for what may come next.

Gaza is still bleeding... Don't believe that it is over. 💔

📍 Gaza News Brief | Today

▪️ Shelling: Airstrikes and artillery bombardment continued across several areas of the Gaza Strip, particularly in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City and eastern Deir al-Balah, resulting in people being killed and injured.

▪️ Evacuation Orders: The Israeli military issued new evacuation orders for areas in the Zeitoun neighborhood, including residential districts and areas west of Salah al-Din Street, forcing dozens of families to flee once again.

▪️ Displacement: The targeted areas witnessed another wave of displacement, as families were forced to leave their tents and the few homes they had left in search of safer places, despite the absence of any truly safe shelter in the Gaza Strip.

▪️ Humanitarian Situation: Humanitarian conditions continue to deteriorate as the bombardment persists, with severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, while emergency and aid teams face major difficulties reaching many affected areas.

nolan’s odyssey is such a textbook study on the idiocy and dangers of presentism. yes of course penelope is a modern day feminist who wants to rule ithaca by herself. they make telemachus say that GREECE IS THE GREATEST CIVILIZATION IN THE WORLD as if the entire point of the massing of achaeans at troy for one unified cause isn’t spectacular precisely because THERE IS NO CONCEPT OF A UNIFIED GREECE NATIONS DO NOT EXISTTTTTT YETTTTT. literally 101 on historical writing is making sure that you’re avoiding strict periodization because the people living in a “period” will not identify themselves that way. ever. five million cheeky nods to “the sea peoples” but we’re being cute and coy and calling them “the people from the sea.” the obsession with xenia but refusal to call it xenia yes let’s say “zeus’s law” a hundred times and reduce it to the literal expectation that any stranger could be a god in disguise. how was penelope just hanging out in the main hall of the palace with her husband’s dinner guests while they were playing with weapons with her HAIR COMPLETELY DOWN no veil no nothing just chilling casually. comical. stoppppp making movies that engage in historical viewpoints if you’re going to slather a modernized coat of paint over the top. “the past is a foreign country, they do things differently there.” or fucking whatever.

It's inappropriate and has potential to cause harm when you bring up someone else's trauma unprompted. I don't need to get jumpscared and dissociate into reality 4 inches to the left at 10am on a Monday morning because someone decided it was a good time to ask for details of my CSA. If a person doesn't bring it up on their own and hasn't SPECIFICALLY told you that it's ok to bring up, then don't! The nature of trauma is that it's distressing!

[eldritchbauble]

This applies to things as simple as asking what caused someone's PTSD / what their trauma is, too. Someone saying "I have PTSD" isn't an invitation to ask for details. If you really want to understand, you can ask if they're ok with talking about it before proceeding. Better yet, let them know you're available to talk about if if they ever want to. Pushing people into conversations about trauma is fucked up, even if you're well-meaning, and it's not the other person's job to satisfy your curiosity or make you feel better about it.

[eldritchbauble]

I don't get why this is such an unfamiliar concept to a lot of people and why they feel so entitled to others' personal business. I've had too many people find out I have PTSD and immediately ask me why, and not always in a well-meaning way, so much as treating me like. Idk how to say it exactly but like a Conversation Topic or true crime doc or something. Or even waiting to insert some "gotcha" about how I can't have real trauma or something. And then there's family who feel like I owe them details because we're family and they "should get to know." And none of it even works like that whatsoever.

[eldritchbauble]

Anyway it would be nice if people didn't cause me to switch or have flashbacks or have my day ruined because they couldn't bother to think before talking.
