18 | she/they/he, tma | asks and dms open!!!!

[baroque-lamb]

intro post

call me silan, she/they/he in that order of preference

my dms are always open, as are my asks, and i love talking to new people. please say hello!

(more about me under the cut)

i like music (specifically baroque and renaissance music), i play the organ and the piano.

i love linguistics, mainly historical linguistics and indo-european studies, and conlanging. ¡por favor habla español conmigo! sina toki e toki pona la o toki tawa mi. latine loqui non possum sed latinam intellego.

i am a leftist (marxist), if i complain about liberals it will generally be because they're too right wing or helping fascists.

i am a catholic and i love theology, but i disagree with the church on things like same-sex marriage. fundamentalists have nothing to do with me.

i am queer and sex-positive. shame and repression help nobody.

if and when i have side blogs, i will link them here or indicate from the blog that this is the account i like/follow from.

asks: #ask and you shall receive

original posts: #the lamb has something to say

and i will add other tags to this list as they appear.

if you're still reading this you should dm me a fun fact or tell me something about yourself <3

there are bunnies in your computer that do all the multiplication. if your computer is running slow you can open it up and help the bunnies practice their times tables. don't forget to reward them with some lettuce!

you understand that there's nothing wrong with wanting people to pay attention to you, right? it's not intrinsically evil, you are allowed to want to be seen. you can do it in soft and nice and good ways, but you don't even have to. you can just want to be seen.

So this is not a plea for money. This is something that surprised me, and chatting with people on discord, they were unaware of as well.

Discovered last year I couldn’t look at my 2015 MacBook Air without it triggering nausea and migraines, and figured the screen died. Have been getting by on my phone, but concluded I really need a laptop again.

Saved up, realised I could afford a brand new MacBook Neo, and got one.

-And I couldn’t spend more than five minutes looking at the screen without massive eye strain, nausea, vertigo, and if I pushed it, I-need-to-lie-down-in-a-dark-room-for-hours migraines.

Looking up MacBook and Eyestrain explained what is going on. The liquid retina displays that Apple currently has uses Pulse Width Modulation or PWM. In order to give the screens a deeper depth of colour and contrast, PWM flickers between several hundred to thousand times a second.

And there is currently no way to turn it off. There are settings and apps to reduce it, but there is no way to stop the screen from flickering. Checked Apple forums, called Apple Support, and the time I could look at the screen kept shrinking. Got the laptop Tuesday, returned it Friday, today is Sunday and I’m still dealing with a vertigo migraine.

For MacBooks, it seems to vary on the computer model and the software it uses. In retrospect, the issue with my MacBook Air started after a major software update.

And it’s not just an Apple thing. Current Windows and Android screens do the same thing. There’s even a Reddit for people who are sensitive to PWM flickers to help find computers and screens that won’t trigger eyestrain and headaches.

So, yeah. This week has been a learning experience. But for those who are prone to headaches and migraines, this may be something to be aware of, cause I was not.

Honestly, maybe it's just because I'm kinda bad at being a Christian, but I think that a summary of the Christian life is to forget Christ and then find Him again.

You sin, you repent, you find Him again. You forget to talk to your lover and forget how much He loves you, until your heart breaks into pieces, you remember Him and regret ever forgetting His love for you. He waits for you calmly and quietly, stretching His arms out. He waits for you. He wants you. He needs you.

Pray for me so that I lock in and remember Christ always in my days, and talk to Him at least a little bit everyday, cause I always plan to be loyal and pray a lot everyday, only to fall and do nothing. Pray for me so that I may return to God's grace, for I have fallen to mortal sin and have not yet done reconciliation. Also, if anyone has any advice on how to slowly bring God with me through my days, it'd be much appreciated.

May the Lord always take care of us and make it so that we remember Him whenever we, the Good Shepherd's sheep, get lost. Amen.

sis (gender neutral or something i promise) will literally say "oh i use the shortening of brother as a gender neutral term"/"oh i use the the literal term for the male gender as a gender neutral term"/"oh i use the term which means a basic man gender neutrally"/etc. and then not believe in the patriarchy.

I couldn’t date a tsundere because she’d say something like “I don’t even like you! Hmph!” and then I would run directly in front of the nearest car
