Currently thinking about how I often fail to communicate my boundaries or confront people that have hurt me, and how I often use the excuse of "wanting to be a peacemaker" to describe why I don't want to be the possible cause of someone else's bad feelings. But peacemaking goes two ways. Continuing to sit and rot in my own discomfort and anguish is NOT making peace. It is actively denying myself peace. Being a peacemaker means making peace for both parties. Interesting thought
^_^ and >_< and also o_O and also T_T as well as >_> btw. if you care -_-
its so awkward when people ask me why i dropped out and i have to be like "inadequate disability support" bc no one wants to hear this. they're always like i thought they had to provide that though isn't it the law? girl you might want to sit down i have some bad news about the litigation-based enforcement of the americans with disabilities act
then if i do say that theyre like, couldnt you sue? well theoretically maybe but not without spending more money than i have and putting myself through absolute hell. so no. no i can't.
it’s just this
Out of all the things I’ve received at pride parades, as a Christian, this one is my favorite.
I’m an atheist but this is sweet for all my struggling Christian followers
i’m also an atheist but this is… actually really comforting? wowza?

Twenty-one tons of potatoes are up for grabs at Potato Palooza on Monday.
The nonprofit’s set to receive a donation of 21 tons of tubers this weekend from suppliers in the Midwest. Hoping to get the starchy vegetables to people in need, the nonprofit will host a “Potato Palooza” event on Monday in Park Hill. “Anyone is welcome to come. They can bring tote bags, wagons, you could back up your pickup truck if you wanted to,” Hissong said. The event is 9 a.m. to noon at the Park Hill Food Recovery Hub, 6090 East 39th Avenue, on July 27.
This is the dream

This concludes this broadcast of the emergency potato system.
June and July are the same months btw. They want you to think they're two different months but it's the same month that's 60 days long. Same way August is actually August and the first half of September
"that doesn't sound sincere- it sounds rehearsed" is one of the most devastating and fucked-up statements you can make to anyone in the neurodivergent/ADHD/Autistic/Schizophrenic/Disordered Personality sphere. yeah bitch it's rehearsed. because i wanted to get it right when i said it
I’ve recently discovered how much better life can be when we normalize this. My best friend and I have started saying “hang on, I’m scripting” when we need a minute to mentally rehearse during big conversations (and “bear with me, I’m doing improv” when we’ve reached the end of our script and start to struggle with words lol)
One of my favorite stories to tell about myself from when I was a kid is the story how my grandma’s “Catching Fairies” game was banned because of me
So when I was really little my grandma had this game she made up, she’d give me and all my cousins jars and containers and tell us that in her garden there were fairies but they were smart and tricky so they disguised themselves as caterpillars and butterflies and as grasshoppers and worms.
Whoever caught the most ‘Fairies’ won but we had to set them all free because they tended to the garden
One summer day my brothers were at the age they were dreading ‘girly’ stuff so I was playing alone
At this point I had met all the fairies in the garden and I was getting bored without any competition and with finding the same old fairies
But then just as I was begrudgingly heading back to my grandma with the same fairies as usual I found a new fairy!
I thought she was so beautiful! She was resting on the sparkly thread in the leaves and her black body gleamed in the sunlight, she had long legs and a cool red spot on her back
Excited I coaxed her onto my hand and was so giddy I found a new one! I rushed back to the farm house to show my Grandma and Dad, gently carrying my new friend.
But when my Dad and Grandma turned around to see what fairy I caught I saw the color drain from their faces and both of them freeze, I could tell something was wrong but didn’t understand
My dad congratulated me and asked me if he could see the pretty fairy, I let him but felt a little nervous seeing how terrified he looked as she moved into his hands from mine.
Slowly he walked back towards the door, my grandma clutching my shoulders then my dad LAUNCHED the fairy back into the garden which I thought was rather rude
Then we had a nice long talk about Black Widow spiders

all books published in the last 5-10 years know is basic grammar error, tell not show, forced romance, and lie
also books themselves have worse construction now too. i just had a book two days ago at the library where the whole cover was just. unglued from the spine. it was less than five years old
and also: all books published in the last five years know is tumblr prose (and not even good tumblr prose)
the word 'swim' is doing a lot of heavy work here
Not half as much as the audio is

reading about the participation of children in rituals as a form of play in ancient greece and came across an incredibly charming story from julius pollux's onomasticon where a flood prevented the adults from reaching a sanctuary to sacrifice a ram to heracles, and the children solved the problem by....sticking a bunch of sticks in an apple to give it "legs" and "horns" and offering it as a sacrifice instead. it's such a charming thought and i can perfectly picture kids these days also pretending at sacrificing an apple "goat" at recess
catch me on the playground playing sacrifices
found myself unexpectedly emotional at a moment in seneca's thyestes when the chorus (a group of argives) sing in horror,
Are we of all generations in human history judged worthy of being crushed by the world's collapse? Is ours the final age of man?
and it made me realize that surely one of the oldest fears of humanity has to be the idea of the world ending within our lifetime; seeing the end coming and being alive to experience it. i worry about it, and here's an ancient roman expressing it, by making a people of an ancient-to-him mythological past worry about it. in every generation someone's been certain the world will collapse very very soon, and here we still are.
I'm just saying, if you're going to worldbuild magic being a "raw, primal force, akin to and interweaving with nature itself" you gotta explain to me why animals don't use it
I know the normal answer is "they just aren't smart enough for it" but idk I've seen enough media where a character uses a spell in a moment of brain-off panic ilI feel like animals could probably stumble into a spell or two like, accidentally
Also how funny would it be to see a completely normal regular bear cast magic missile outta nowhere
Also there is no way ravens wouldn't figure out spells, tbh
They're smart fuckin birds, I believe in them
Either through observing or just figuring shit out ravens could 100% learn how to cast spells I'm sure of it
Dogs can also cast Magic Missile but every time they do the projectile is shaped like a bone or a stick and they chase after it
group of wizards who ask this in-universe, and after extensive study learn to their surprise that animals are casting spells all the time, just that their magic is so fundamental as to be unrecognizable to humans. turns out the only reason acorns grow on trees is because squirrels keep wishing for them.
even if u do happen see more severely disabled ppl or high support needs disabled ppl get support they need
1) frequency illusion and confirmation bias. you see one well supported severely disabled / HSN person, it more remarkable for your brain, you think see it more often than it actually happens, n you filter out ones that not confirm your idea.
2) the amount of support we need to merely stay alive much more than disabled ppl less severe or lower support needs. we may look like we receive amount of support that allow lower support need person to thrive, but it may just barely keep us alive n we actually still very neglected.
3) severely & HSN disabled ppl *especially* isolated n locked away n hidden, historically n now, whether institutionalization, or lack of support to go outside or be online, or we home bound bed bound bc inherent disability symptoms, or other reasons. ppl you see who can be not locked away often naturally be the more privileged among us. u not see the less privileged ones.
4) severely & HSN disabled ppl who not privileged to get enough support just. die.
