hello everyone
I write silly video game stories here
this blog is for both Yves and Scessernee, one (1) cornhusk doll that can only come to life when the moon is full. my pronouns include she/her, they/them, sie/hir, xe/her, and xhe/hir. I’m an adult, and if you are not 18+ I must ask you not to follow me. I’m queer, and queer inclusion, queer solidarity, is paramount to me. I’m neurodiverse. I’m married. I have a physical limitation. I have a religion. I have a twitter now because I'm very susceptible to peer pressure from my wife. this is my random mishmash tumblr.

the lesbian pride flag I’ve used above is here.
before you follow me, you should understand that this tumblr is an inclusive and protective place for all good-faith queer identities. trans community members are welcome here, asexual and aromantic community members belong here, nonbinary community members are who we say we are, the lesbian community includes all lesbians, and mspec community members deserve community support and solidarity. I don’t participate in community gatekeeping and I have no patience for its discourse.
if I’ve reblogged something from a harmful and hateful source, or that has objectionable content, please let me know: I am far from perfect and I make plenty of mistakes, and I appreciate help identifying them. if you follow me and you need something tagged or tagged in a particular way, or you have a request of another type, please do not hesitate to let me know. no explanation is necessary there. I’m happy to help.
I am a devout reconstructionst pagan and have been for over fifteen years now. I tend to shy from discussing the particulars online, but the pagan practice I know welcomes any and all who are called to it. ethnonationalists, white supremacists, and fascists are not welcome here. I’m happy to answer any good-faith questions to the best of my ability or point you towards someone who could address your questions better, should you have them.

After more than two years, my main account @DrDarine has been terminated. This account was not just a social media profile. It was the platform through which I shared my family's suffering with the world, especially Mariam's stories. It was my only way to connect with people, raise awareness about our situation, and make our voices heard.
In very brief summary:
● Many of our family members were killed during this war.
● We lost everything, especially our HOME, our heaven, and now we live in a tent with rent.
● Faced unimaginable displacements and famine, and we continue to suffer from illness caused by the harsh living conditions here in Gaza.
Before the war, we were ordinary people, living normal lives. But unfortunately, I don't feel that anymore. I don't even know who we've become. All I can see and feel is my life collapsing before my eyes.
I kindly ask everyone to stand by my side, and especially by Mariam's side. Please don't let the termination of my account, or any other action, become another burden that adds to our pain and suffering.
We've known Darine for more than two years now. What happened to her and the termination of her account are simply unacceptable.
For many of us, that account was how we followed Mariam's story and stayed connected to the family. Taking it away means cutting off their only direct line to hope and support.
Please share their blog as widely as you can, and if you're able, please consider making a donation today.
some of you guys are going to have to start internalizing and accepting the fact that you will not be able to tell some indigenous people apart from white people at a glance, no matter what their 'blood quantum' [gag] is, partially because genetics is wild, and partially because there are indigenous groups that are naturally paler than whatever you're thinking right now.
Blood quantum is a nightmare concept. It is essentially how much 'native blood' you 'legally' have according to the government.
It is not traditional, it is not cultural, it is not something Indigenous nations ever used to measure belonging.
It was created by colonizers as a tool of erasure. It literally exists so the government could mathematically subtract us out of existence over time.
Think of it like this;
instead of letting Indigenous communities define ourselves, the U.S. government came in and said, “Your Indigeneity is only valid if we can quantify it like livestock breeding papers.” It was meant to break apart families, stop us from passing on identity and land rights, and eventually reach a point where they could say, “See, there are no real Indigenous people left! So we don't need to think about them!"
It weaponizes nebulous and often finicky genetics against culture, community, lived experience, etc.
It ignores the fact that Indigenous identity is about kinship, belonging, survival, language, tradition, and responsibility to our people.
Blood quantum turns those things into a number. A number designed to shrink until there is nothing left.
Many nations are still stuck dealing with blood quantum rules because of federal pressure and resource control, not because we chose it or approve of it.
And it harms us every single generation. It pits relatives against each other, creates disenrollment fights, and tells half of Indigenous kids they are somehow less real than their siblings because of paperwork.
It also lets the government give a 'good reason' for why we shouldn't have mixed race marriages or 'interbreed' with other races, because then the blood quantum 'goes down' and we may legally not be considered indigenous under the government anymore, which means they can deny us things like certain assistance programs, medical care, etc.
It's literally government mandated eugenics.
In short, it is is a colonial tool invented by the government to eliminate us. Which is why I gag when I say it.
Fascinating how what's considered feminine and what's considered masculine can change over time. The rebranding of being a horse girl into being a stereotypical feminine girly trait needs to be studied.
Look at classic children's novels. As recently as the 50s and early 60s, being obsessed with horses as a girl was depicted as strange and tomboyish, and the very concept of being obsessed with horses from early childhood and loving toy horses and desperately wanting your own horse being a "little girl thing" and not a "little boy thing" would send someone from the 1800s and earlier into a coma.
There's maybe a point to be made here somewhere about how when keeping and riding horses stopped being necessary to the functioning of society and became a more "frivolous" thing, it was rapidly rebranded as silly and girly and for women, but what do I know.
TME people mad about shit that's not worth being mad over: "Stop calling Kurt Cobaine she! That's gross! That's bad! That's evil! That's based in pure speculation!"
Kurt's songwriting journals: "I'd be able to be happy if I was a woman. I wish I could grow breasts. People are really mean to women and I identify with their struggles heavily for some reason. Probably nothing to do with *whatever* has led to my deep, inescapable depression. Being forced to be a man is killing me."
The people who knew Kurt: "Wow he'd really have loved this yuri manga stuff, especially this one called the boy she was interested in wasn't a boy at all."
TME people mad about shit that's not worth being mad over: "You creepy perverts just want to forcefem everything because you're creepy perverts! Not everything is about you!"
Life outside seems easier than the 'prison life' we endure in Gaza. I try to imagine other places where life is difficult, but I realize that even the harshest environments are open; at least there is a way out. Gaza is a closed prison. A rocket could kill you at any moment, food and water are rationed, and the heaviest burden is being besieged by memories, destruction, and graves. It is a constant cycle of physical and psychological torment.
Prices in Gaza have started to rise unusually, and goods have almost disappeared from the markets. Types of vegetables are scarce and expensive, and meats have vanished from the markets too. I mean, what's happening is the beginning of a new famine; food is expensive and scarce in the markets!

"The average dev who was let go was not part of the "14 layers of management", but the backbone of the studio, doing the core work on games we all love. Microsoft's C-suite are the ones who's decisions lead the company to ruin, and throw the crew overboard to make the ship lighter, instead of cutting their own bloated salaries, when they are already so rich as to not need money ever again."
