Shen Qingqiu wants to believe, so, so badly, that the one before him is the disciple he taught. But fate has been a real bitch about sticking to its predestined course, so would this world even allow for his Binghe to be able to return this early? He weighs all these conflicting thoughts in his tired mind in the space of a scant few moments. He can’t tell. He can’t tell.

go read through the eye of a needle by funeralstrut. right now.

"There are old poops who will say that you do not become a grown-up until you have somehow survived, as they have, some famous calamity -- the Great Depression, the Second World War, Vietnam, whatever. Storytellers are responsible for this destructive, not to say suicidal, myth. Again and again in stories, after some terrible mess, the character is able to say at last, 'Today I am a woman. Today I am a man. The end.' When I got home from the Second World War, my Uncle Dan clapped me on the back, and he said, 'You're a man now.' So I killed him. Not really, but I certainly felt like doing it. Dan, that was my bad uncle, who said a male can't be a man unless he'd gone to war. But I had a good uncle, my late Uncle Alex. He was my father's kid brother, a childless graduate of Harvard who was an honest life-insurance salesman in Indianapolis. He was well-read and wise. And his principal complaint about other human beings was that they so seldom noticed it when they were happy. So when we were drinking lemonade under an apple tree in the summer, say, and talking lazily about this and that, almost buzzing like honeybees, Uncle Alex would suddenly interrupt the agreeable blather to exclaim, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.' So I do the same now, and so do my kids and grandkids. And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'"

Y'all I know that when so-called AI generates ridiculous results it's hilarious and I find it as funny as the next guy but I NEED y'all to remember that every single time an AI answer is generated it uses 5x as much energy as a conventional websearch and burns through 10 ml of water. FOR EVERY ANSWER. Each big llm is equal to 300,000 kiligrams of carbon dioxide emissions.

LLMs are killing the environment, and when we generate answers for the lolz we're still contributing to it.

Stop using it. Stop using it for a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. We need to kill it.

saw a tiktok of a mother taking her very tiny daughter to an art museum and she’s just walking around going “whoooa” “woooaah” to everything but then they got to a marble statue of a nude woman lying on her back and the girl points and goes “mommy🫵” and i just immediately welled up with tears and all the comments are just laughing about it and of course it’s funny but how are you not insanely moved by the way art connects everyone on earth from a centuries-old sculptor to a toddler in 2023

i totally get venting about facing microaggressions in public for using a mobility aid, and i've totally done it myself, but after talking with some disabled people who are afraid to start using canes or rollators or wheelchairs because they're worried about people being assholes to them in public, i want to reiterate that my rollator changed my life and that the amount of harassment i've faced is frankly negligible.

anyway today i was able to take the train to physical therapy by myself, and stopped for coffee on the way back, and nothing bad happened and it was a beautiful day.

other mobility aid users feel free to share your stories about why it's worth it.

kelpforestdwellers

yeah people stare at me and once in a blue moon there's some harassment or whatever, but i can zoom around wherever i want in my power chair and it couldn't be more worth it.

ymirjotunn

once i was transferring from the car to my manual wheelchair using my walker, and a woman walked past moving very slowly with a cane, and she stopped, and she looked at me, and i greeted her, and she said "do you like your wheelchair?" and i was delighted! people rarely actually give me the chance to tell them how much i love my mobility aids. so i told her yeah, it's amazing, it doesn't totally meet my needs but it makes things so much easier, sometimes i can go places and do things i hadn't been able to do for years. the hardest part is when i can't move around because of the way people design and build buildings, or when people park bikes on the sidewalk, that sort of thing.

she said "that's really good to hear. i've been putting it off for a while and this makes me feel better about doing it. i'd LOVE to go places again." and i said "do it! it changes your life, it can be difficult sometimes but that's so small in the face of what it can do for you!"

most of the interactions i have with other people that are specifically about my mobility are positive moments of solidarity. not all, but the vast majority.

it's worth it and i will take every opportunity i can to tell other people that it's worth it. not just wheelchairs, any mobility aid. not a single person deserves to live even a single day putting off their mobility simply out of fear.

Yeah. I get annoyed, sometimes, with the specific design of this particular chair. But my life would suck so much worse if I didn't have it at all.

The best is when I'm out in public, and babies in strollers see me. They're fascinated by the thing that rolls by itself.

Also, I can do "spinnies" in it, whenever I want. And going down long, winding, ramps is a lot of fun.

Also, it's a positive feedback loop: the more people who are proud of their mobility aides, and go out in public using them, the more normalized it will be. And the less acceptable microaggressions will be.

grison-in-space

Actually, let me add something to this post. Worth noting: I normally do not use or need mobility aids, and I'm thirty three and look younger than that. But I do have a story that might be relevant here.

Back in November I was traveling for a meeting to my childhood city, and I got some pretty upsetting news. Worse, I had worn shoes I didn't wear every day at the time, and they had ripped some fairly nasty chafing sores in my feet, even with colloidal bandages everywhere. I wasn't really feeling okay enough to go to the meeting without crying in public in front of strangers I was trying to befriend, but I also didn't want to sit in the AirBNB with my coworkers and sob either, you know? I hate being vulnerable in public and this particular thing just made me feel insane and heartbroken and completely incompetent.

So I thought okay. I'm gonna go to a beloved museum. But I can't stand and walk right now. Everything hurts, taking a step hurts, because these chafing sores make wearing shoes really painful. There's no way I can go through a whole museum without making everything worse and winding up sobbing in a corner exactly like I don't want to do.

But museums rent wheelchairs. This one, I happened to know, would check one out to you for the day for free, as long as you showed the front desk your driver's license. And... well, I have been involved in disability advocacy for long enough that I would have told my friends to borrow a chair, right, because temporary disability from injury is still real disability. So I swallowed my anxiety and I limped up to the front desk when I came in, and I asked to borrow a wheelchair. (I don't know how visibly I was limping, but I would have been trying to minimize that, too.)

They just smiled, asked for my license, and then gave me one just like that. I tucked my purse in next to me, sat down, and wheeled myself off to go see the exhibits. No comment, no inquiry, not even a funny look.

I got to see the whole museum and take my mind off everything I was hurting emotionally from, without having to hurt anything more physically. It wasn't an empty museum, either—this one is a big museum, it's never empty—but no one gave me a second glance. It was good to use some muscles and skin that weren't sore, too, and I used up a lot less of my very limited ability to cope while also distracting myself a bit from how bad I felt. And I got to use a resource that exists to help people who need help, which means I got to be a number that will help justify the museum's wheelchair rental policy and its decisions to put copies of its display materials low enough to be used by other short patrons: other people using mobility devices, children, little people, all kinds of folks. It wound up being a sorely needed day away from my problems.

If you're scared about using a device full time, try practicing using one part time. Look into borrowing one next time you want to go to a museum or a zoo or a mall and just try it out. See how people actually treat you. Most of them are just going to mind their own business, same as anywhere else, and who knows? You might find out that there's a lot less judgement than you think.

Genuinely like you are going to have some of the most boring coworkers and neighbors in the world. You are gonna have annoying people who are loud and have the most reddit opinions and personality you can think of and who are just as awkward as you and who may make jokes in poor taste. But you still gotta be able to just like talk to them about the weather and shit. Hear people talk about their kids or their jobs or what movies come out recently. Obvs this has limits with like outright bigots but as a general rule you gotta cause that's the only way you can build real life community. You'll never be able to borrow a cup of sugar or host a block party or organize a union by only talking to people who you like. If you wanna build a better world with those around you you gotta learn their names first.
