Making a pinned post. Hi. I’m Joe, people use she/her for me mostly, but any pronouns are fine. I live somewhere in Sweden. In my twenties.

I don’t know what to really put here so... Eh. I’ll write something.

I’m a sex-averse and somewhat sex-repulsed asexual and I often get uncomfy suggestive things, depending on context. I don’t know, just telling my boundaries.

I’m prone to spelling errors and I might not catch all of them. Not a native english speaker, but mostly fluent. I love puns. I also love robots, fictional sentient AI, artifically constructed sentience and thinking about that stuff. And weird biology. And mollusc and crustaceans. And cute and funny stuff.

So. Yeah. Hope you have a good day. Or if not, I hope your day is overcomable at least. Uh, bye? Or welcome to my blog? idk.

#me #realized Had to edit this cuz when I made it AI was mostly just used in sci-fi to describe their AI characters but now it's shatgpt ect.#shatgpt is was a typo but I'm keeping it cuz it's acurate.#My stance: Analytical AI=Okay depending on how it's used. Generative AI=Stealing pathological liar. Sci-fi AI characters=Cool.#intro post

so many people ive known have pushed themselves to burnout trying to deny their disabled reality, skipping accommodations, skipping rests etc. and the world convinces them that the solution to their burnout is to push even harder. it’s a huge tragedy. i know social pressures make it tough but i want more disabled people to make things easier for themselves where possible, to opt out of things that harm them when possible, to quit while they’re ahead. be that person today! protect yourself where you can! take micro breaks while doing your hobby. get that shower chair. sit to brush your teeth. lie down in the middle of the day, even if only for 5 mins. these things add up and it’s so worth it.

Nova's tips for beating the heatwave:

1. Check that you have good access to shade trees, a shelter custom made to fit you and all your friends, and plenty of good airflow

2. Find the hottest, sunniest, and least windy part of you pasture and lay down

3. Make sure you look as much as possible like you have died of heatstroke

4. Get your friends in on it

A horse's biggest purpose in life is to make you think they died

the phrase "but i didn't mean to!" in the context of causing harm is kind of redundant to me, because almost nobody means to cause harm. most of us just want to do the right thing. and i don't mean that in a wishy-washy "oh, we're all good deep down" way, i mean that even people who regularly do the most heinous shit imaginable will have a way of justifying it to themselves. the world is not populated by hollywood sadists and psychopaths.

actually i have been thinking about this some more and i want to add on to it:

abuse in caregiving professions (like teaching or nursing) is not solely a result of power dynamics. it's also because people who go into those professions tend to have a idea of themselves as Good People. recognising or acknowledging their own capacity for harm contradicts that idea. so they mentally put 'people who have inconvenienced me' into the 'Bad People' box (which conveniently doubles up as the 'People I Am Allowed to Hurt' box), and just like that, the world is made simple again.

i read ross greene a lot when i was working with 'difficult' or 'behaviourally challenged' children. his refrain is kids do well if they can - meaning, in short, that most kids act out only when the demands of a situation exceed their capabilities. punishing them for this is not only cruel but also completely pointless, because they also don't want to be doing what they are doing.

a teacher who believes that there are two categories of people - Good People who Mean Well, and Bad People who Cause Problems on Purpose - is not going to see it that way. they're gonna put themselves in the first category, and the misbehaving kid in the second category. and once they have effectively depersoned the kid and placed themselves on a pedestal, they can treat that kid however they want while still maintaining a moral high ground. because abuse is something that only Bad People do.

I think about this so much. It is necessary to think about this when working in caregiving fields. You gotta be able to see yourself and your colleagues as something outside of "good people" because that could cloud your judgement of actions. An action can't be good just because a "good person" did it.

#this is also true for non-teachers #yes you're allowed to be annoyed at the kid screaming on the bus #PROVIDED ☝️ that you also recognise the kid as a complex human being with an internal life who is probably also having a bad time #maybe a worse time than you even!#<-op tags #true!#remember this me

I think one of the gentlest things in the world is when a friend just gets your weird little brain. like you say half a sentence and they finish it. you reference something incredibly niche from seven years ago and they’re already nodding. they understand your strange vocabulary for emotions that don’t have real words yet. it’s being seen and known and still loved. maybe especially because you’re known. god. what a gift.

“My son, those stars are already dead. Mere ghost light.”

Okay. So. Long post so most of this will be under a cut (I’m not completely cruel), but I wanna talk about this, because it’s something that I frequently see people get wrong about the Iron Lung universe, and like I’ve said before, space is the one thing that will forever put me in “UHM ACKSHULLY ☝️🤓” mode, so that’s what I’m about to do. And you all have to listen or I’m going to be very upset.

THE STARS ARE NOT “GONE” FROM THE NIGHT SKY IN IRON LUNG.

happy disability pride month and once again, FUCK lazy subtitles. fuck the [speaks foreign language] instead of actually transcribing the words, fuck shortening sentences and changing whats been said for no reason, fuck censoring swearing in captions but not in audio and fuck anyone who says youre being 'too sensitive' for being upset about a lack of accessibility

itsleelove

Apparently in the states it is illegal for captions not to match audio exactly. My little brother has written emails to streaming services multiple times for subtitle errors and it is always fixed expeditiously. Forever grateful to him.

#woah the states have an advantage on this one!#I think it's not illegal here cuz subbing and dubbing is so much more common and #subbing and dubbing are completely different processes here.#so dubbing will translate in a way that matches the animation better and subbing is just kinda translating.#so if you put on a kids movie (kids movies are always dubbed) with subs it's very jarring actually.#but yeah non-dubbed content also has pretty crap subs in swedish. at least TV.

Once every hundred years a kite will lay a red egg from which hatches a black and white bird. When that bird dies, a green worm-like creature emerges from its body and will grow into the fearsome Rooster of Death. Anyone who hears the call of this Rooster will die the following day unless they can find a mysterious blue herb that grows in the wilds of Asturias.

Always delighted to see more folklore creatures from Asturias by Victoria! The Rooster of Death (Gallu de la muerte) is such a strange one, I love it!
