Shit. all this time thinking I was just quirky and maybe had adhd or autism (well, i still haven't done any neuro-psychological assessment...) only to be lame. bruh.

It's been years!

Hey, y'all! I opened this time machine that is my blog. I noticed my bio said I'm "24 (years old)" and I'm literally turning 28 this year. I also noticed that I uploaded pictures of my pets, when they were only 3 cats, and now I have 2 dogs too! So many things have changed.

But...

How are you?

Hey everyone, is anybody here?

I haven't been on Tumblr for a long while. If anybody's here, how's life going?

Maybe no one really cares but I'm going to summarize some bits of my life from last year until recently:

Came out to my family as bisexual in april 2022. Got the support from almost everyone except my mother, who psychologically and emotionally abused me (nothing new, but it got very violent).

Started dating my girlfriend, we're a year and 3 months!

Been doing therapy and medication for over a year, I've got so much more stable mentally, but I still have lots of personal work to do.

Left Engineering and started a new career (which I love): Electroacoustic Composition, at the best university of arts in my country.

I'm working with my brother, and in the search for another job (because the one I have is informal) to move out from my house.

Got another stray cat (Gaspar) last year and a daschund (Zareen, which was gifted) this year. 6 animals total: 4 cats and 2 dogs (including my adopted greyhound which is practically my daughter).

Got the borzoi meme (let me do it for you) tattooed!

Came into terms with my gender (non-binary) but not publicly.

Got a haircut, hadn't been to a salon since 2017.

Started a plan with a nutritionist! I've dealt with EDs most of my life. I recently gained weight because I started eating more (but unhealthily) so my gf recommended me a specialist and it's been great so far! I'm making ammends with my body. Plus, I love cooking so much.

I've been dealing with lots of physical pain, and last year it got so bad I couldn't even walk and got injected many times. Same happened at the start of this year but I'm seeking options to prevent all of this.

Stopped playing the double bass. My body couldn't do it anymore and I was doing it without enjoying it. Now is not the time.

Overall, even though I'm dealing with skin picking, compulsive hand washing, obsessions, anxieties... I'm doing waaaay better than before and I'm proud of myself for all the things I've overcome.

Hope the best for everyone ♥

Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart

This is how I learn there's a moth whose tiny caterpillars live exclusively off the old shells of dead tortoises.

Inevitably, ‘the language of the honeybees’ raises abstruse questions that behavioral scientists have often sought to sidestep: whether man is the only species with language; whether ‘language’ can be defined in a way that allows for the possibility that non-human animals may possess it; the plausibility of the distinction between ‘intentional action’ and ‘non-intentional behavior’ to demarcate human and animal life; the validity of regarding invertebrates as ‘lower forms of life’; and the nature of cognition and awareness of the animal world. […] So, can an insect speak? And if yes, do we understand it? Wittgenstein maintained that ‘if a lion could speak we would not understand him’, by which he implied that we do not share the ‘form of lion-life’ that would make lion language fully transparent to us […]. A similar insight was eloquently expressed by the early 20th-century naturalist and honeybee research Maurice Maeterlinck. The irony that he wrote these words before the discovery of the dance makes their wisdom all the more poignant: Beyond the appreciable facts of their life we know but little of the bees. And the closer our acquaintance becomes, the nearer is our ignorance brought to us of the depths of their real existence. But such ignorance is better than the other kind, which is unconscious and satisfied. [Source: Eileen Crist. “Can an Insect Speak? The Case of the Honeybee Dance Language.” Sociology: Social Studies of Science. 2004.]

Slugs, like other often uncomfortable companions such as microbes […], bees […], cougars […], test our resolve to live ‘convivially’ with non-humans […]. Yet live we must, for the lives of humans and slugs are stuck together. Composition is the work of building a common world […]. [E]very [interspecies] meeting in fact reminds us that the being we meet is and always shall be strange to us […]. [E]verything is not just related, but also that there is something singular, irreducible and vast behind each relation. When beings meet there is a distance between, such that in encountering the slug we also encounter something beyond the slug – a multitude of life we cannot sense. The ethic that emerges from this space ‘between relation’ is, as Yusoff puts it, part of a ‘virtual ecology’ that exceeds encounters with matter. So despite shared histories and the close proximity in which slugs and gardeners live, the slug retains a certain darkness as a creature apart; something is held in reserve […]. And so fleeting awareness of the irretrievability of the lives of others intensifies poignancy, such that despite a gulf separating the gardener from other creatures, some connection, however, fleeting, is made to something – however strange. Refusing to dismiss the everyday and the banal is an ethical response. […] Slugs are there: sliming, chomping, and oozing around quietly and that should be enough to give them consideration.
