Caleb's Diary

[calebisacryptic]

My dad, who doesn't work in the summer cause he's a teacher : "relax, we have soooo much time, we're ion break"

Me, who's a student, working full time all summer so I can afford uni : "bitch who's we??"

forever mourning the person I could've been without my phone addiction

Becoming an adult sucks like wdym all my favourite people are moving to different cities

If humans could photosynthesize you know damn well compagnies would have found a way to make us pay for access to sunlight

Somehow being a person does not come naturally to me

They should play musicals as background music in grocery stores

If your sad song doesn't make me want to bang my head against a brick wall repeatedly then I don't want it

Does a spider-sona count as a fursona? Cause you're not necessarily trying to look like a spider but you give yourself spider attributes. Does that make people with spider-sonas furries? Are spider-sonas just the nerd version of a fursona?

This Song by Conan Gray and Stupid Song by Olivia Rodrigo are an iconic yearning duo

Something about characters cutting themselves open as a queer allegory really speaks to me

bonus points if the 'not human' stuff you see once they're cut open is literally spewing out of them all throughout the story

I Saw The TV Glow is one of those movies that I can never watch again

It was so good, it was exactly my type of movie, lowkey scary, kinda insane, very weird, with a deeper meaning and it's queer as fuck

but it just hits way too close to home

i don't care if it's nazis, mormons, or a bunch of misguided autistic people. if anyone ever tries to tell you your soul is from another planet and you're actually part of the class of impressive people that secretly did everything cool in the world but is now extinct and lives on through your broken genome, you RUN. YOU WILL RUN AWAY. YOU WILL SPRINT FULL SPEED AWAY FROM THAT.

grabs you by the shoulders listen. listen to my words. i understand the urge to make fanfiction about yourself and to find a reality in which you're super awesome and great and everyone who hates you is wrong and dumb. i get it. you're better than that. you can love yourself without putting other people down, dehumanizing and generalizing, and retaliating against your oppressors.

there's no NPCs. there's no aliens coming to save us. we're not the next step in human evolution. our hyperconnected nervous systems give us terrible sensory overwhelm more often than they make us geniuses. neurotypical people are sentient, conscious, aware people who are capable of understanding you. we're more the same than we are different. we're more the same than we are different. we're more the same than we are different.

One detail from the book that didn't make it into the movie that I think is neat is that Eva Stratt did not just stumble across Ryland Grace. He was not the 'potentially disposable' option. She went to the top microbiologists in some of the best research labs in the world and was told multiple times "you know what? I think Dr. Grace might be your guy." When discussing the Petrova Problem. And this several years after his ejection from academia.

Happy pride to one of my favourite lines in Project Hail Mary (the book) so far :

"No one ever talks about the really hard parts of first contact with intelligent alien life: pronouns."

because I do kinda feel like an alien when I have to explain my preferred pronouns/name to someone

I love Noah Kahan but fuck his songs make me miserable
