@never-wednesday
Heya! My name is Wednesday (it/its) and welcome to my page. Mostly this is where I hang out and shitpost. Bodily disabled, cool custom wheelchair still pending. For system stuff please see @feathered-thing-system. I used to stream and that was what my pinned was about but for privacy and health reasons I have stopped indefinitely.
Hi, I'll likely be moving to a new blog soon for personal reasons. If we're mutuals feel free to ask me for more info in DMs! I'll keep an eye on things here for a while so I don't miss anyone :]
honestly christianity really hit the jackpot with "jesus christ" rolling off the tongue as an expletive so well. the number one problem with fantasy settings is that whatever names you come up with to take in vain will never hit as well as "jesus christ"
this guy gets it!!!!! this is the kind of rock solid phonetic structural integrity you have to compete with!!!! and no amount of marika's tits or thal's balls or odin's beards will ever get close because with ol jeezy boy his name alone has all the features you need
official linguistics post
How to explain it? I'm in a weird place right now because my passion for plants makes me happy but it also emerged from a period of serious autistic burnout that caused a major upheaval in my personality and identity. I want to get back to writing fiction and being creative but I almost feel like I'm a different person than I was when I did that.
Not necessarily for the worse. I understand so much more about the world now. I realize the perspectives I was listening to when I centered my identity around being a writer were narrow.
In particular I feel that contemporary fiction and poetry that gets the praise and cultural influence has a stance towards existence that I completely repudiate now. Too much of the feelings and conflicts expressed in written works come from an underlying belief in the intrinsic value of self-annihilation. The art produced by my culture confesses an unshakable belief that the world is ending and that we deserve it—apocalypse or extinction resolves some kind of tension that yearns for release.
I don't know how to deal with it...
basically i wrote some stories that still haunt me and the characters are still there in my brain but they borrowed a lot from the types of books and stuff that are like "okay so in the future when most of humanity is dead and the earth is a wasteland..."
you know like YA dystopia. legend, knife of never letting go, lots of stuff
and now i'm like "wait a second. the fact that this is a Type Of Setting has implications."
idk I feel like dystopia long ago stopped having much social commentary and now the zombie apocalypse/nuclear war/climate catastrophe is just a device to establish a "future" world with both familiar and unfamiliar elements
there's so many stories about the world ending that now you can take it for granted that the world ends
And I can't ignore what that kind of story is saying, even without meaning to
see that is SUCH an incisive and useful criticism that it makes me go 'you should absolutely do lit criticism or poems ABOUT that'. because yes absolutely fuck! that's something i've fought with in my fanfic writing because i just refuse to believe the 'apocalypse' is going to kill the human spirit and the entire resilience of the biosphere.
if there even is a big definitive 'end' of the world! (what does that even mean? how do you define the world in progress as it is, and what does interrupting that world look like, and why is that perceived as a simple ending and not a change or continuation to a new form--)
and frankly the idea of apocalypse- total destruction that 'we' (who is 'we'???) 'deserve' (what is the specific crime? and why must it be met with punishment?)
is evangelical christian original sin bullshit! its the american corporal punishment /mass incarceration mindset! and it enshrines the attitude of "well lets not think about how to fix these problems, it's uncomfortable to have agency, let's just assume that fate will decide whether anything changes or whatever the consequences of our actions will be."
bullshit! we have agency, and that's uncomfortable because it gives us choices about how to improve things, and we can't know for certain what's best. it would be mentally 'easier' to just give in to doomerism and assume that fate will punish us or fix things or make things fair, so that we don't have to. but that's not true! and that's a good thing! we can choose to make a more fair and more healthy and more alive and more connected and more loving and more beautiful and more kind world! isn't that way more exciting?!
i feel like we could absolutely write about that. write poetry or zines or stories about how to confront that the world isn't going to end. and that we can actually make the world better. we can grow... not in simple terms like size or 'efficiency' but in maturity, as humans and as stewards. we can reconnect and do better and try again. and try again. and try again. develop in practice and through seasons like we're meant to. recognize that even when we are hungry and cold our communities work together to make it through. even when times are tough we sing and raise children. there's not going to be a magic turn of the earth that stops us from being ourselves. we're here and we'll be here and that's a good thing.
^^^yeah just. all of this.
and like, the seeds of these themes are already in there I think? like my main character goes through this traumatic event where her body gets reconstructed into something alien to her and it feels like a kind of "death" to her but she gradually realizes there is still a life she wants to live. a something like that
but it's not quite germinated yet...it's still sleeping
I feel like most able bodied people see wheelchairs as the worst thing that could happen to a person. When I discuss my want to have a wheelchair for various reasons, most peoples first reaction is to be surprised that I could voluntarily consider that.
But what they fail to consider is that, unlike them, I very much hate walking. It causes me pain and fatigue, it is a miserable experience.
So to any able bodied person reading this, yes some wheelchair users like walking, some want to gain that ability back, but that does not invalidate the feelings of wheelchair users who absolutely hate walking.
the House-like carpet
ableist people so weird even when they think they mean well bc like. be wanting for very reasonable test (EMG) for concerning symptom (progressive muscle weakness) that may or may not already be painful on its own n. they be like “you sure that you sure? test would be extremely painful”
like what do u want me say to that. “oh shoot you right never thought abt it before guess now don’t need test”?? because test painful so now magically don’t need it?? horray??
like amount mental gymnastics need to through for that, because they able bodied so entire world able bodied & every issue is temporary able bodied issue until get diagnosed (n even when diagnosed they forget abt it n still see it as temporary able bodied issue). so what actual go through their mind is they imagine themself, able bodied person with no relevant symptom, why on earth would they go through painful test for that nonexistent symptom. n because it a painful useless test for them there no pro there only con, it painful useless test for everyone
when hear hoofs think horse not zebra they say except they don’t think of horse or zebra they not think of anything at all??
So many of the critters that take up residence in human homes are simply species that are cave-adapted. Spiders. Crickets. Millipedes. Isopods. Bats. Your house is a cave to them and they think you are also a cave-adapted organism.
There's probably already been polls like this but...what are your pronouns?
they/them
they/he or he/they
they/she or she/they
any pronouns (she/he/they)
any pronouns (including neopronouns)
he/him
she/her
neopronouns
other / pronouns im forgetting (?) / mix
no pronouns
a dog, yes, but also an Obstacle
Gentle reminder that the human eye is naturally drawn by noise and movement, so the next time you walk into a crowd or a bit late into a lecture or something like that, they’re not staring at you or judging; it’s just an instinctive reaction that has nothing to do with you doing anything wrong.
This really helps my anxiety.
It’s literally a threat assessment/food gathering instinct. The steps your brain is doing, subconsciously.
-Check to see if movement is lion in grass.
-Also check to see if possible game animal and edible.
-No it’s just Dave getting into lecture hall a few minutes late.
-That’s boring.
-Lose interest.
help the mail just got here and i was expecting a package so i excitedly opened the glass sliding door and ran face first into the screen and yelped and fell down. i’m no better than a dog
imagine being a vampire w a nice dark apartment and a cushy remote job plus a little nighttime doordashing to make ends meet and then your tags expire and u cant go to get them renewed bcs the dmv isn't open after dark rn so u figure you'll wait until winter to get it done but then the apartment complex has ur car towed bcs of the expired tags and u cant go get it bcs the lot isnt open after dark so they keep charging you until u simply cant afford to get it back anyway. so now you cant doordash anymore and on top of that youre having to pay for an uber every time you go out to hunt and it adds up fast and your job isnt really covering it so you look for a second job but they all want you to come interview in person during the daytime. and eventually u miss too many rent payments and late fees and your apartment management evicts you and u cant even show up to court to fight it bcs it is obviously also during the day. and the cops come and open your door and the sunlight streams in and you just burn up to a crisp right before their eyes.
imagine getting pulled over as a vampire and your license says u should be 55 but you look 20 and on top of that they wanna breathalyze you but technically you dont breathe so since you refused they take u in for a blood test but you dont really have any of your own blood either. so your license gets suspended and part of what you have to do to get it reinstated is an addiction recovery program but the only ones in your area are aa groups that meet in fucking churches which obviously as a vampire you cant enter. what the fuck do you even do.

hey are you guys like. okay.
I got bit by a macaw at a pet store once. Hard. And then I realized there were a bunch of signs plastered around it that said “DO NOT PET.” and I was so embarrassed I never mentioned the parrot bite mark on my hand. I was like 13 but that has to be one of the defining fuck around and find out moments of my life. There were no consequences to either of us and I didn’t turn into a macaw so I think I can forgive myself.
I was trick-or-treating as a kid with my parents and we stopped at a friend of their's house. I didn't know or care about anyone because I was a kid but these people did have multiple parrots. And I did stick my finger in the cage and immediately got bit but he wouldn't let. go. So I had to maintain my chill as a little green parrot held me hostage. He eventually let go a d no one noticed but your story unlocked that memory for me so thanks.
the parrot got to play a trick and have a treat that day
freezing cold take here but maybe religious medical discrimination is bad actually and you should in fact not be allowed to deny someone medical care that you personally don't agree with.
