Sonder (Grocery Store)

I previously reblogged a list of 23 emotions people feel but cannot explain. I’m not exactly in the business of Experiencing Emotions, but I really wanted to write some poetry based off of the words and their meaning.

Each poem will be titled with the word and the actual title of the poem itself, and I’ll share the meaning of it as well.

Sonder: The realization that each passerby has a life as vivid and complex as your own. 

So it begins, the empty Overexertion of your Nagging mind - and in the middle of a  Dull shopping center, no less. Look -  Even the cashier has a mind like yours, Reeling from the hours here.

ive been reading a book that basically explains how so-called “brain differences” between the genders is the result of gendered socialization and not the cause of it. i honestly expected the book to be very cis-centric but its actually the opposite, the author stresses that testimony from trans ppl is actually indispensable because we’ve, in a sense, “lived both experiences”

more cis feminists should have this mindset

[gaydva-deactivated20180104]

one of the first examples that she uses to introduce her point about how perception by others can shape a person’s performance actually uses a trans woman. it explains that as a certain trans woman became to be seen as a woman more and more frequently, the ppl arond her eventually started viewing her as being ill equipped for tasks that they did not bother her about pre-transition. eventually she even found herself underperforming in these tasks herself.

whats the name of the book

[gaydva-deactivated20180104]

Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine

[moon-boob-deactivated20191204]

Here’s a pdf, babes <3

[insufficient-earth-skills]

I knew it was this book before I’d finished reading the first two lines. Honestly this book is indispensible if you want to debunk any gender determinism people claim is science. I can’t recommend it enough.

[dodgylogic]

She’s written a new one! It won the Royal Society prize for science book of the year, and it’s called Testosterone Rex, and it is excellent.

(Bonus: it’s making old white men really really mad.)

(Bonus bonus: I am myself a neuroscientist, and the old white men mentioned above – who are not – could not have missed the point harder if they’d actively tried. Which. Maybe?)

[repost-this-image]

Thanks to moon-boob for providing a PDF, but please, buy the book if you have the disposable income. SUPPORT THIS AUTHOR!!

Ok, so how many other Writeblrs are Ace/AceSpec???

With Ace Week I'm seeing a lot of posts being reblogged about Asexuality and the spectrum. Not to mention a lots of notes on the tags. I'd love to meet more people like me, so I want to know which other writeblrs are on the spectrum!

Please reblog if you are and I'll check out your blog! Those who I already follow are encouraged to reblog too.

[redaniels-writes]

hello beautiful person! once you get this you must share 5 random facts about yourself and pass it on to your ten favorite followers! (no pressure

0:

1. I have four tattoos, and I’ve had eight different piercings.

2. Probably obvious from my last reblog, but I’m a practicing pagan witch.

3. I have two kitties, and they are both fat and dumb, and I love them with all my heart.

4. I have a horde of rocks. I love my rocks, and no, I won’t stop hoarding my rocks.

5. I do a lot of calligraphy.

Thank you <3

💜 & 💞

Sorry this took me so long!!

💜: where are you in the writing process?  Outlining! I have this huge whiteboard on my wall next to my fishies, and I’m using it to outline Swallowed Whole. Somehow it’s written like some weird news article, with each large point worded like “Local Citizen Dies” and “Three Local Young Adults Discuss Religion.” It’s odd

💞: which future scene are you looking forward to writing? So, uh, spoilers, but there is a Death. Someone dies. And the energy in that scene, the emotion of it - I really want to see just how it plays out and how I can best write that.

Thank you so much for the ask!

Witchblr Introduction

Hello! I’ve had this blog for a little while now, but I haven’t worked with it much. As I now get more into my craft, I think it’s time to start using it. Here’s a little about me:

*My name is Ridley, but I also go by Red. I’m 19 and I’m genderfluid nonbinary.

*I run two other blogs, @redaniels-writes and @movieswithred. 

*I’m an eclectic chaos witch, and I worship Nyx and Elen of the Ways.

*I mostly practice divination, but I occasionally also work with crystals and herbs. I do astral project and often work with astral beings.

*My animal guide is currently a deer, the skull of which I have tattooed onto my hand.

I hope to use this blog to meet other witches and further my craft! I know I have quite a bit to learn, and I love to know more about others’ crafts even if it isn’t the same as mine.

[redaniels-writes]

Hey, guys! I have a side-blog that I’m trying to work on now and use more often. I’ll be using it more frequently than this one in the days coming up to NaNoWriMo as a way to chill and relax before working on my project.

If paganism or witchcraft is your thing, feel free to reblog this!

WIP Introduction: Project Vestige

“The earth is alive. It sings, it breathes, and it remembers.”

— Project Vestige; @pens-swords-stuff​

Placeholder Title: Project Vestige

Genre: YA/NA, Magical Realism, Mystery

Current Status: Nanowrimo 2019 Project; Outlining and planning

Synopsis: 

When Brooke started hearing voices, she thought that she was going insane. There was laughter when she was all alone, she overheard arguments in empty spaces… She’s not losing her grip on reality however. The earth remembers. It remembers the conversations, the laughter, sobs, and the shouts. It’s called place memory, and the places whisper and repeat them out loud so that nothing is ever truly forgotten. Anyone can hear it — all you have to do is listen and pay attention. Most people can’t hear place memory or ignore it because they’re too distracted with their own lives, but Brooke is listening now, and she’s paying attention to every murmur.

People are disappearing in Antium. At first it seems like no big deal — just a college student skipping town — but one by one, more people go missing.  It’s the Bay Witch, the locals say, the Bay Witch is snatching people away just like she did in the past; it’s happened before. Could it really be a local legend that’s responsible for these disappearances, or is there something far more sinister happening in Antium? Using her newfound discovery of place memory, Brooke and her friends start unraveling the truth behind the Bay Witch and missing people from over a hundred years ago. Little do they know, learning what truly happened back then may pave the way to them finding the missing people in the present.

Current tag: #project vestige

This is a bit barebones right now because there’s a lot in development, but I’m really excited to finally be able to share my Nanowrimo project with you guys! More information will be posted as relevant, including a Project Vestige tag list post and an eventual Project Vestige masterpost. Please stay tuned, I’ll be talking about this a lot in the next couple months.

Please let me know if you’re interested in being on the tag list!

Inktober Day Eleven - Pattern

Listen. I hated this prompt. I don’t like what I wrote. Yeet me out a window, I beg you.

...

Duh-dum. Duh-dum. Duh-dum. Slowly beating, can you hear it? A steady drumming. One simple pattern. It stirs up something. The room is black. You cannot see. You can only hear. Duh-dum. Duh-dum. Duh. A skip. Patterns are not meant to be broken. Quiet now, we’re scaring them. The blood is rushing. You can hear that too, can’t you? A steady, easy rush through their body. Muscles clenching, opening up. I’m hungry. So desperate. You are, too. I can smell it. They’re scared. Don’t touch. Not yet. They’re supposed to be sleeping.

Duh-dum. Duh-dum. Duh-dum. It’s back in rhythm. Lick your lips. Maybe they can hear us now. I want them to know we’re here. Is it your first time? Go ahead. Get closer. Listen to their chest, but don’t touch them yet. Not yet. Wait. Be patient. I know you’re starving. I am too. Waiting to devour them whole. One fell swoop, and their in your chest, pounding, a beating heart beside your own. Duh-duh-dum-dum. Duh-duh-dum-dum. Fun, isn’t it? Oh, don’t get all riled up. I can’t have you fucking this up. I can’t have you ruining what I did. All my hard work. They’re sleeping now. You can get closer. Closer now. Stay quiet. Listen. Can you hear it? Duh-dum. Duh-dum. Duh-dum. The gentle pattern of their heart. It’s quick, but they might have forgotten about us. Shh. Are you hungry? I am, too. Just be gentle now. Start at the top. We can’t let anyone else hear us feasting, can we? I hate my meal being interrupted. Duh-dum. Duh- Good.

Inktober Day Nine - Swing

Empty chairs sat by empty desks,

A storm brews slowly outside

Where thunder begins to growl just as the rain starts to fall.

Autumn has come, and with it comes

This strange feeling of a nothingness.

There is a place where either snow or heat belongs,

That only leaves fill.

You can see your breath in the air,

A white cloud of smoke billowing

Up towards the stars,

A place you wish you could be.

With these cold days,

As the darkness of night comes closer, eating up

Your waking life,

You are left alone to wonder

Which way you will swing tomorrow.

Will you look at the fire of autumn,

At the colors life brings,

And smile,

Or will you only see the chill

The cold

The shadow lurking in the forest.
