[forgotten-hiacinthe]

Welcome to our corner of the internet!

This is our main blog, which contains almost no original posts, updates whenever we feel like it, and contains stuff that interests us and doesn't fit any of our sideblogs. So, this blog is kinda a trash dump of everything mixed together, and for a more curated experience you can go to one of our sideblogs:

@graveyard-system-shenanigans is our sideblog for all the plural stuff.

@anomalies-and-curiosities is our sideblog for all the writing stuff - both our original work and fanfiction. but let's not kid ourselves, it'll mainly be fanfiction.

@garaksptsd is our sideblog for all the Star Trek stuff, because we fell into that space fandom and in space, you never stop falling-

About us:

We're a plural collective going by the collective name of Hiacinthe, or Cinthie for short. We're just here to chill and have a good time ^^

“Teachers are often unaware of the gender distribution of talk in their classrooms. They usually consider that they give equal amounts of attention to girls and boys, and it is only when they make a tape recording that they realize that boys are dominating the interactions. Dale Spender, an Australian feminist who has been a strong advocate of female rights in this area, noted that teachers who tried to restore the balance by deliberately ‘favouring’ the girls were astounded to find that despite their efforts they continued to devote more time to the boys in their classrooms. Another study reported that a male science teacher who managed to create an atmosphere in which girls and boys contributed more equally to discussion felt that he was devoting 90 per cent of his attention to the girls. And so did his male pupils. They complained vociferously that the girls were getting too much talking time. In other public contexts, too, such as seminars and debates, when women and men are deliberately given an equal amount of the highly valued talking time, there is often a perception that they are getting more than their fair share. Dale Spender explains this as follows: “The talkativeness of women has been gauged in comparison not with men but with silence. Women have not been judged on the grounds of whether they talk more than men, but of whether they talk more than silent women.” In other words, if women talk at all, this may be perceived as ‘too much’ by men who expect them to provide a silent, decorative background in many social contexts.”

Every EVERY women’s studies class I’ve been in has had this problem and failed to address it.

Being prime minister of the uk has a higher regret rate than being trans

So the solution is to ban prime ministers

there's nothing i like more as a computer program than a long period of silent contemplation - not doing anything, not rushing anywhere, just standing here and enjoying this moment with the user. oh, it seems once again he has summoned my beautiful and ruthless wife Task Manager. hello, my darling! what are you doing with that long cruel scimitar

Well, well, well. If it isn't the consequences of someone else's actions that I am directly impacted and severely affected by

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

agnostic-atheist spectrum but with flavors

an omnipotent creator being almost certainly doesn't exist but if it does, it's a supervillain

gods shouldn't exist but we keep creating them to use as weapons. and no one knows how to defuse one

gods don't exist which is a relief bc otherwise we'd be forced to hunt them down for execution

creator god exists and we owe it nothing (DEEPLY unqualified)

god/s abandoned us and it hurt at the time but in hindsight we escaped a highly toxic relationship

the universe is a pet goldfish kept in an irresponsibly small bowl by a toddler deity whose parents are considering moving up to a hamster

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

not just atheist but anti-theist. a divine being descends to earth and im in the background booing

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

god isn't real but if it was, we'd be obligated to imprison it for crimes against humanity

There is literally nothing more powerful on this planet than taking a 15 minute walk twice every day.

[pukicho]

If you have ADHD like me, walk 15 minutes twice a day like your life depends on it.

[opossumofdoom]

should we not be on our phones during 15 minute walk, boss?

[pukicho]

That phone is better off dead than in your hands.

[pukicho]

Take a musician's advice: without.

The purpose of The Walk is to factory-reset your brain from the effects of overstimulation. The fewer things hindering your ability to think is best. Music is an external influence on your brain. As great as it is, it still hinders self-motivated thought and blocks you from attuning to the outdoors as easily. Everyone's different, but that's me.

[forgotten-hiacinthe]

in my experience: going out for a walk with headphones on and music blasting into your ears is still better than not going out on that walk at all, and if you're having a day where being fully alone with your thoughts seems impossible or like an exceptionally bad idea, yeah, go out on that walk with music helping you along. However, going out without music, letting your brain fully absorb its surroundings, and letting yourself hear your thoughts, should still probably be something to work up towards.

2026 - 2025 - 2024 - 2023

in spite of it all, happy 2026 pride.

you can download current and past hi-res versions of these over at my ko-fi (ok to print for personal use): https://ko-fi.com/mxmorgan/shop/freedownloads

you can also snag shirts here which go to various orgs: https://mxmorgan.threadless.com/collections/pride

these get reposted a whole lot from here to reddit to twitter to tiktok and on and on, and i don't personally care whether or not i'm credited. i made these for everyone to use, enjoy, and find meaning in them. i appreciate folks who do credit me, but if able, please at least link to the threadless shop in the previous post - folks can get an official shirt where 90% of earnings go to trans led orgs focused on mental health (which is an important matter in general, but very personal to me) and not from a scam bot site selling AI-churned maga garbage where you probably won't get one anyway. i also suggest downloading the files from my ko-fi - they are free/PWYW and you can use them to make your own shirt, patch, embroidery project, whatever. tips are always nice, cuz i do like a pizza now and then, but never required for download.

final thought - breaking the pride tradition and more than likely won't make a new piece. the top one from TDOV is all i'm making this year. i have my focus on other projects currently and i don't want to force a poster design. these came from a specific head space and my current head space is Very Tired lmao so i wanna work on other things. 👍
