Ponderings Of Plumfield

[charlesoberonn]

Can we find a sun god or diety from every timezone and make a map of them all?

[greyt-expectations]

We probably can, but the question is should we?

[charlesoberonn]

How else will ship captains know who to pray to when they circumnavigate the globe?

[greyt-expectations]

…Give me until the end of the weekend. 

[greyt-expectations]

I actually had some unexpected free time today so I was able to create this a lot faster than I expected. 

It isn’t perfect, but following the initial post I assigned each timezone one sun deity, so travelers know who they might pray to while exploring the world.

This was a lot of fun to create and to research mythologies from across the world, and I think I learned a couple of things doing so!

[charlesoberonn]

Well, there you have it folks. Safe travels.

How do you just sit with your feelings when the whole world is falling apart and no one can let you scream? How do you care for yourself when you have no idea what self care looks like except for stupid “glamour” self care like “oh go take a bath and string up fairy lights and find a perfume you love”.

[Video description: TikTok by Cameron Bernstein @/c.o.bernstein, a Filipino/Ashkenazi Jewish person with long brown hair in a side braid. They are singing the traditional Yiddish drinking song “Hob Ikh Mir an Altn Daym,” which translates to “I have an old dime.” They are tapping on a table as they sing, and the lyrics in English and Yiddish with a transliteration appear on the screen. The English lyrics are as follows:

I have an old dime Tra la lai la la lai The dime isn’t even mine Tra la lai la la lai Let us all be happy Come with me and grab a drink We’ll drink brandy and wine Tra la lai la la lai I have a whole dollar Tra la lai la la lai I’ll cover the whole bill Tra la lai la la lai Let us all be happy Come with me and grab a drink We’ll drink brandy and wine Tra la lai la la lai Let us not be like the old bubbies (grandmothers) Tra la lai la la lai Let’s make Shabes out of a Wednesday Tra la lai la la lai Let us all be happy Come with me and grab a drink We’ll drink brandy and wine Tra la lai la la lai I have no wife and child Tra la lai la la lai I am free like the wind Tra la lai la la lai

making friends (especially after you’ve lost a couple or several ones) can be hard and incredibly isolating. finding people we can connect and be vulnerable with is no easy task, so often we feel like it’s a moral failure when things don’t work out between us and someone else. just know there are so many people in this world you have yet to meet who will love you and it’s okay to drop all this heavy relationship baggage now. you’re not defined by the people you’ve lost.

[freshlybakedfandoms-deactivated]

the feeling when your mom calls you to ask what you want from starbucks because she drove by and thought youd like some then she buys you a cookie too? thats love. your friend knowing your drink order from tims (”a frozen lemonade right?”)? that’s love. your friend asking in the middle of something if you’re okay because you zoned out and got lost in your head and they just know that? that’s love

love is being known, love is someone taking the time to know the little things about you. your drink order from your favourite coffee place. the book you’re reading. the classes you love and the classes you hate. your favourite chocolate. things they picked up on from spending time with you because they like you and want to know you.

love is connecting songs to a person in your life. each person has A Song, and when you fight you either cannot listen to it or thats all you listen to. love is seeing things everywhere that remind you of different people in your life and sending them pictures or telling them about it. sending your friend the meme that reminded you of them.

love is in the little things, the small everday gestures that remind you someone cares, someone is there for you.

This election, make your vote count

If you’re eligible to vote, this country needs you! Here’s a handy-dandy voter registration checklist for you to follow.

Voter registration check. Maybe you moved since the last election. Maybe you’re not sure if you registered at all. Hey, it happens. Register to vote or check your status. It only takes two minutes or so.

Request your absentee ballot. If you plan to vote by mail—which is perfectly safe despite what some say—check out the deadlines and request your absentee ballot ASAP.

Find your polling place. It’s highly encouraged to vote in person if it’s safe for you to do so. Don’t forget to look up your designated polling location and check if you can vote early if you’re eager to avoid lines.

Do you need your ID? The answer: Maybe! Check here. Each state is different.

Get familiar with your ballot. You’re voting for more than just the President. Your ballot will have the option to vote for local races and have ballot measures that directly affect your community. Make sure you’re not caught off-guard.

VOTE! Ta-da! You participated in democracy. Thank you.

this might be a hard pill to swallow for college students but getting drunk all the time isnt a personality trait it’s alcoholism

[wingedcatboy]

Here’s another pill: companies and ad teams know that your 20s are extremely stressful and they purposely target you because they don’t care about making us all alcoholics as much as they care about profiting off of us.

[attractive-nuisance-esq]

cooler pill that I’d wish I’d known about when I was younger: if you’re struggling with alcohol, AA isn’t your only option. AA can be a bit dogmatic and sometimes hostile to certain communities, especially the LGBT.

there’s a group called SMART Recovery that has free meetings just like AA, but it’s all science-based and secular.

and here’s the thing for college students: unlike with AA, it’s okay if your goal is moderation and not abstinence. no one is going to make you feel like a bad guy for being young and just wanting help getting healthier, but perhaps not wanting to commit to being totally abstinent. google SMART Recovery, guys. they’re awesome. :)

[tachyon-at-rest]

Reblog for non-religious version of AA

[juju-fisher]

Just be careful to avoid these groups. The Church of Scientology loves to use substance abuse support groups as a front.

[aeliad]

You don’t have to be a person dealing with addiction to find support from any of the legit groups, either. As someone who has had family who struggled with various types of addiction, but who never struggled myself, I still went to Narcotics Anonymous meetings and was offered support. (There are specific meetings for friends/family. Ask the organizers about them.)

Look at the glow in her eyes. She may or may not have loved him before, but now she knows he’s willing to grow and change to improve their life together. That’s real love.

[sunder-the-gold]

Reblogging for this version. Even if she’s happy to be the primary homemaker, her husband needs to know the basics. Otherwise, if she falls sick or otherwise has a bad day, they’re both out of luck, and that’s just not fair to a sick woman. Or to a pregnant one.

And this young man steps up to the task! He accepts that he’s lacking in the basic skills necessary to care for a wife, and resolves to grow as a person.

I’m certain I’ve reblogged this multiple times but I’m doing it again

this is one of the best threads i’ve ever seen

[noping-out-deactivated20241117]

This whole obsession with wheelchair users struggling on foot down the aisle at their wedding or across the stage for graduation is 100% powered by ableism.

[noping-out-deactivated20241117]

“The heartwarming story of how one woman worked for 8 months straight so she could escape the horror that is being in wheelchair for a few short minutes to struggle slowly and painfully down the aisle on her special day.”

[feraladoration]

“the horror that is being in a wheelchair” bitch it’s hella better than struggling slowly & painfully down the aisle ffs

[noping-out-deactivated20241117]

“Despite being permanently paralyzed, her one goal since her accident has been to walk across the stage for graduation. The whole crowd gave her a standing ovation and broke into tears when she dragged her paralyzed legs across the stage with the help of leg braces and a walker to collect her diploma, after which she immediately sat back down in her wheelchair, which she will use to move around for the rest of her life.”

How the hell is this an inspirational story? This person needs better goals. And a therapist.

[smoldragonborn]

They’re toxic in an even greater way because as a disabled person, I didn’t realise till I was reading this how much I had internalised that. I genuinely have had feelings of fear and shame about using a chair or a walker if I get married. And why? Because I’m constantly seeing “heartwarming” stories about disabled people who shed their mobility aids for that moment. Why the hell am I afraid of using them to get married? Anyone who marries me or attends the wedding will know I need them and love me regardless.

Bless this post for making me realise I’d internalised that shit.

These types of stories teach people, both abled and disabled, that using mobility aids, especially wheelchairs, is inferior.

[margomoment]

here are some beautiful brides in chairs with dresses they ROCK. I know a lot of disabled ppl with internalized ableism think they “won’t look good” if they use their chair, but here’s some literally gorgeous gals for ur consideration

(that last ones cute as fuck and i teared up at it)

[noping-out-deactivated20241117]

Who needs a bouquet when you can be a bouquet?

[smoldragonborn]

I made my addition to this post in June 2019. Its now January 2020 and I no longer feel guilty about the idea of going down the aisle one day with mobility aids.

God bless the disabled community, y'all saved me from some internalised bullshit

[thegayemu]

This post floated by a few months ago, and I remember something to effect of there’s a difference between recovery and refusal. That is, like, I have a friend that suffered an incomplete spinal cord injury. He can walk again now, and I don’t think I’ve seen him use his chair in a few years. When he walked at his graduation, it was to show off his recovery. That he wasn’t quite ready to go through a full day upright, but he could walk across a stage, unassisted, and soon he would be able to do that every day. There’s also a difference in someone like me choosing to not use a mobility aid. My mobility is intensely fluid, especially seasonally. So, I would plan a summer wedding. And while I love my cane it can also be the biggest pain in my ass, so I’d want to just go unassisted. But that’s normal for me, at least right now. I can walk without an aid during about half of the year. It’s reasonable to assume I can make it through one day without it. All of that is different than someone that is fully and permanently paralyzed, that will never walk again, dragging themselves along because they feel that’s somehow better. Overall though, my biggest takeaway is fuck the media. Because disabled people should be able to make whatever decision they want without the media turning it into this grand inspirational story.

Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to add my disabled joy to this post. Look at this love!

[aprillikesthings]

Taking the opportunity to add these photos of Jessica Kellgren-Fozard and her wife Claudia, from this twitter post. Jessica also has a youtube channel that’s primarily about disability and chronic illness and LGBT stuff (it’s amazing!) 

[haveyouhadenough]

I would also like to personally share, Annika Victoria who ALSO has a youtube channel. This photo was taken from her instagram - she made her wedding dress dress herself, BY HAND. Her youtube channel is mostly DIY fashion and sewing tutorials. I love her so much, she’s so unapologetically herself and informative

[theinfiniteofthought]

I also wanna add these pictures of Ade Adepitan fucking rocking this badass suit at his wedding! Give my fellow disabled mascs some love too

look how much fun they’re both having! yes!

and also this couple, who are both wheelchair users

this is from their beautifully coordinated wedding!

[addamatic]

Crying and letting go of some internalized bullshit. Honestly, it goes so deep and makes us feel so broken.

This is FTM at 50 years old (on testosterone 13 years)

[nerapalooza-blog]

This is so important, I almost never get to see trans guys older than 25, which makes it really hard for me to envision myself growing into an older man, which in turn makes me feel really confused about my identity. But really I just needed to see some more representation.

[lllads]

Representation is important. Trans is beautiful. Trans is diverse.

[bearlycare-deactivated20181204]

My eyes just welled up with tears. Its so true, that its hard to rarely have any examples of your possible future as an older person. ❤️
